Reviews for Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. in Galveston, TX
EVERYTHING about this place was spectacular! 4 of us ate and we all enjoyed our meals. The deck where we ate could use a little... cleaning as far as bird poop goes, but the food tasted so good we didn?t mind. We bought souvenirs here and they were reallywell priced. Read more
Fun place to eat specially if you?re a Forest Gump fan. Restaurant is super awesome and decorated with lots of movie nostalgia.... Staff was awesome and food was great! Gift shop has a lot of cute items. Awesome views of the beach and pleasure pier. I wouldcall to make a reservation. Read more
Worst experience I've ever had at a chain restaurant. We were called to be seated, but our table wasn't actually ready, so we... awkwardly hung out inside while they took 10 minutes to put the two tables together. It took nearly 20 minutes just to get acup of water, and ten more for our cocktails. Food took an additional 50 minutes, even though our orders were just shrimp andburgers. Though we explained the way we wanted the checks divided up front, but it still took 20-30 minutes to resolve thecheck, and we ended up just paying a single check. It's convenient if you are at pleasure pier, but I would recommend goinganywhere else. Read more
Absolutely great experience. Not only was the atmosphere amazing, but the service was great. With it being a touristy spot and a... Friday night, I figured it would be busy and slow service, but it was just fine. The food was also absolutely delicious. Thankyou! Read more
The service was great. Waiting for the food took a bit long. It was a little busy but no wait to be seated. Which was... awesome. The food was ok. I was expecting all this flavor & nothing like that at all. I was a bit disappointed. The fries havethis seasoning which I didn't like. Great place to try at least once! Read more
My daughter and I stopped for dinner last night while we were out walking on pleasure Pier. It was a Saturday night and most... places had a wait, Bubba Gump sat us right away on the patio overlooking the beach with a warning that it was very windy andthat we could not change our minds and go inside. We were fine with that. I ordered boiled shrimp to start, it was prettytasty. For dinner I ordered the surf and turf and requested substituting mashed potatoes for a salad. The steak came out and wasstill very red inside and bloody but also burnt. The steak was a very thin piece of meat, not a very good cut. Came with themashed potatoes, the server realized that and went to get the salad. The shrimp it came with had a good taste and I ate thosebut the steak was not even worth saving. I used to work in the restaurant industry many moons ago and know what happens when yousend a meal back to get cooked, definitely wasn't going to try my odds there. The servers English wasn't the best socommunicating was a tad difficult. He did send the manager over who is very friendly and offered to remake the meal, which Ideclined. With the appetizer and the shrimp and salad I was full so he credited the bill. The restaurant was dirty, there wasbits all over the floor and dishes stacked up here and there, that was a bit off-putting. I have been to the restaurant beforeand had a decent experience then, more than anything this restaurant is a tourist attraction and has a great location on thebeach and Pier. ?? Read more
We went on a Saturday night wasn't very busy but they were still a little bit of a wait. The food was good tasted fresh a little... bit pricey for the quantity. But the experience was good with great ambience and view of the Gulf as the restaurant sets overthe seawall, attached to pleasure Pier with their games and roller coasters. Parking is kind of hard to find. But that does notsubtract from the restaurant itself the staff seemed a little disengaged maybe they were tired towards the end of the day. Iwould definitely go back but this is not a spot for the locals, definitely a tourist destination. Read more
We came just before spring break of this year. The fact they were the only place without a line should have been our first clue.... We were all starving and just wanted to get some food so we ended up here. Food wasn?t horrible but the service was horrendous.Extra star for the great views, dolphins were feasting on bait fish just off the docks which was a huge hit for the kids in ourgroup. Read more
