Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. 720 Cannery Row, Monterey, CA 93940

"Bubba Gump is a themed chain restaurant that will be familiar to anyone who's visited other seaside cities. This was my first time at one as my fiancé thought it looked fun. The servers were really friendly and the prices are not bad for a themed restaurant in a touristy part of town - we paid $85 for one cocktail, an appetizer, and 2 entrees. The food was pretty solid and we liked everything alright. The inside is fun and should be enjoyable to fans of the movie, plus the ocean view is really nice. The line got long around 1PM so maybe aim for an early lunch if you're stopping."

"Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. offers a delightful dining experience with a fun Forrest Gump theme. The shrimp dishes are a highlight, featuring various creative preparations. The atmosphere is lively, and the staff's friendly service adds to the overall enjoyment. While the menu is seafood-centric, there are options for non-seafood lovers too. Prices are reasonable, making it a good choice for casual dining with a unique twist."

"Everything was hot and delicious. We had the Shrimp Gumbo Bowl was awesome, Crab & Shrimp Boil (it was good, but not sauced enough so some of the food items were flavorless), Jenny's Salmon & Shrimp was perfect, Frozen Margarita (which included a free Shaker Cup), Coke, and Key Lime Pie. The server/bartender Brendon was knowledgeable and provided a great dining experience for our 37th Wedding Anniversary dining experience. Thanks"

"A wonderful dinner. We came here with friends after hiking to satisfy our hunger. Service and food were good. I was here for the first time and I liked it. We didn't have to wait long for a table. The waiter was friendly and attentive. Ocean view from the cafe. If you are a fan of the movie Forrest Gump, then this place will be special for you."
