Reviews for Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. in San Antonio, TX
What a special place to dine! Lots of seafood and non-seafood options. Delicious entrees. Great beverage options. Really cool... atmosphere. Our party of 7 loved the table top way of signaling the server when assistance was needed. Read more
Honestly, I feel this is the best food and experience i have ever had in any restaurant, ever. We started with the half pound... cajun shrimp basket. I recommend the full pound because you're going to rip through these shrimp like its nothing. My wife gotthe Shrimpers Heaven, which came with a few different kinds of shrimp and other goodies. The portion size is good and she saidit was a perfect example of what good coconut fried shrimp should taste like. I got the Shrimp and Crab Boil. It was so good!It came with so much shrimp and a generous amount of crab. I highly recommend the cajun flavor as its otherworldly. Also, letthe amazing Garlic Bread that it comes with sit top side down while you eat so it absorbs the insane juices and flavor from theCajun Shrimp seasoning. The waitress was awesome. She didn't hesitate to offer a sample of the sweet tea to taste the sweetnessbefore I committed. She explained how the signs work at the table and how she wouldn't bother us unless the right sign wasflipped. Overall, from the front of the house to the back, it was my favorite place to eat while on vacation. When you go, ifyour food and service was only half as good as ours was; you will still walk out happy you went! Read more
We chose to sit outside by the water. What a beautiful relaxed view of the river walk. The food was delicious and the service... was great. Very friendly atmosphere. Will go back again when in San Antonio :) Read more
Good food and service. Everything shrimp we had was fantastic. The fried chicken was recommended to me and it was good as... well. Don?t expect too much crab and you won?t be disappointed. Otherwise the only issue really in my opinion is the cocktailmenu was mostly syrupy fruity drinks which aren?t bad but if that?s not your thing you are out of luck. Read more
We came to SA for our anniversary, and wanted something casual for dinner. My husband called at around noon to see if we could... make a reservation for that evening at 6:30pm. The girl on the phone told him they didn?t take same day reservations, but thatthere wasn?t typically a long wait to be seated. When we arrived that night, we had to wait 20 minutes to make it up to thehostess stand. Once at the hostess stand, the hostess told us there would be a 20 minute wait to be seated and served. This wasAFTER we already waited 20 minutes to get to the hostess stand. While at the hostess stand, a man even walked up from the backof the line to ask how long the wait would be, and she gave him the same ?20 minutes? line without taking into account how longhe?d be waiting to GET to her. He?ll be waiting 40 minutes just like we did? We opted for outdoor seating to cut our wait downto 10 minutes instead of 20, but once we were sat at a table with menus, we sat for another 20 minutes at our table. No one cameto check on us, and no drink orders were taken. No one even offered to bring us water. We wound up leaving, and had greatservice at a different restaurant. Wishing all of you better luck than we had. Hopefully they?ll at least bring you water. Read more
Everything on the menu looked delicious and it was pretty difficult choosing! As always it was pretty packed, but the waiting... list process is pretty convenient. You are allowed to see your place in line. We were fortunate enough to have Shawn as ourwaiter and he was one of the most outgoing waiters we?ve ever had. He made our first experience at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. worththe time. The experience at a restaurant goes far beyond what?s sitting on a plate in front of you. Shawn did a phenomenal jobmaking sure we were taken care of and was very informative when we inquired about certain things on the menu. Shawn, if you?rereading this, you?re amazing and Bubba Gump Shrimp is lucky to have you as a waiter! Highly recommend the chicken breastsandwich with a side of mashed potatoes. The Lava Flow drink with the souvenir cup did not disappoint. Thank you Shawn and BubbaGump Shrimp Co. Read more
We had a fun date night last night. This week is a special "Restaurants of the week" event that specific restaurants participate... in of providing a special menu for a specific price per person. So, last night, we chose Bubba Gump Shrimp (at the River Walk)as our dinner option. I had Shrimp Mac and cheese for my appetizer, then I had shrimp gumbo, then had Surf and Turf (ribs andgrilled shrimp), and last but not least, desert of New York cheesecake. It was delicious! My husband had Salmon (Jenny's surf)for his main course and the rest was the same. The server was sweet and fun. The food was delicious! Read more
If you like Shrimp, It is your ideal place! :) I'm allergic to shrimp, but there are meats too. There is a wide variety of... drinks and they are delicious. What I don't like very much was that the tables are small compared to the dishes that are large,so they don't fit on the table. Read more
