Reviews for Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. in Universal City, CA

Food sucked. The shrimp was not cut and cleaned all the way. There was no garlic on the garlic shrimpers net catch. My wife's... mashed potatoes were forgotten and we had to ask about them. The waiter came back after he clearly missed putting them and saidthat they had to make a new batch. Had to ask two different times to get drinks refilled. As for atmosphere we didn't get anyForest trivia. Don't give this place your money for long john silver quality food. Will not be coming back. Read more

Service was good and attentive. The plating was attractive, and I got a free glass with my drink. So, that was good. Now for the... bad: Getting a dessert to go was really slow. The food was just... meh. It was edible, but disappointing after hearing goodthings about it. How does one overcook shrimp? How does a key lime pie not even taste like lime?? If you're in the UniversalCity Walk area, there are so many other neat choices. I would probably recommend trying somewhere else. Read more

Plays off the movie well, enjoyed the atmosphere and drinks. Our server did great. The food wasn't good, the shrimp were over... cooked for mine they weren't cooked in the spices. Wife shrimp cocktail was bordering on rubbery. Wife had a key lime pie thathad no real flavor. We over heard several tables around us having issues. Wouldn't try it again, this was our first time tryingthem. Read more

????Fun, Themed Restaurant with Friendly Service???? This restaurant is downright photographable! If you're a Forest Gump fan,... there's plenty of memorabilia to take home, subtle (and not-so-subtle) nods to enjoy, and inspired dishes to taste. I ate herein 2020 and had a great experience. The service is super friendly and treats you like family. Although attentive, it's alsohands-off, giving you plenty of room to breathe while you dine. The coaster on your table allows you to signal whether you needservice to stop by or not. I couldn't believe the excellent memory our waitress had. I went with a group of four, and she nailedevery last detail of our order without so much as writing it down! My salmon dish satisfied my taste buds, arriving on abeautifully homey platter. The portion size didn't quite fill me up, but that's the only complaint I can leverage at Bubba GumpShrimp Co. I highly recommend reserving ahead of time if you can, as the line gets out the door, especially toward dinnerhours. Read more

On the fence about this one unfortunately. Service was a little slow even though plenty of tables were open. Shrimp basket was... 5.5 out of 10. The Salmon dish was a solid 8 of 10. Staff was friendly but nothing above and beyond. Its easy to get lost in thenostalgic vibe but Overall, I feel like we over paid for decent food. Not sure Forest would have been as thrill on this visithere as he was for Ice Cream! Read more

Great food great ambiance great time had here. Had the jambalaya which was spicy but not too much and it was awesome. Got the... cheesecake which was wow and the drinks were cool too. Had a great time. Would come again. Read more

Took my son here for his birthday dinner, we have visited locations in Chicago, Orlando, San Francisco, and now in LA, the food... was delicious, but the appetizer calamari was dry, like it was pre made and sat under a warming lamp. Read more

This was our first time eating out in almost 1yrs and it was an amazing experience. Our waitress was amazing she walked us... through from beginning to end. She had amazing customer service. Very tentative and checked on us often. I recommend anyone tocome here you won't regret it. Thanks to our waitress we will be coming back soon. Read more
