We were seated 45 minutes after our reservation time. It was very loud. The fish was over cooked. It took a long time to get refills and to get the check to pay. Overall it wasn’t the worst meal but certainly could have been better for the money we spent.

Our server was fantastic, but the food I am pretty sure was spoiled. I got the stuffed shrimp and it was not good at all mushy and gross with a twang of bad fish. Frys were good though... very pricey so I am glad that our server took my meal off the bill. but dang them prices. 2 drinks a combo and an appetizer somehow $100 dollars with out tip. So over $100 with a tip for 1 entree app and 2 drinks. Yall better calm it down. Won't be back them prices are awful

The appetizer came out with the food. The shrimp were mushy, the ravioli not cooked and cold. The price was ridiculous. Will not be visiting another Bubba Gump chain.

Very busy during New Year’s Eve. Even if you make a reservation, Bubba Gump does not guarantee a table at the reserved time. We checked in for “reserved time “ and still had to wait an hour for a table. Once we got a table we had to wait another hour for our food due to them “losing the order”. We were not compensated for anything or feared ANYTHING. Until we spoke with the manager and he compensated us due to everything. Do not expense to be sat at reserved time if you make a reservation!!!! Also, we had a special event, proposal, we told the waiter and he didn’t offer any type of dessert or anything or even give us a menu for desert to look at!
