Best WLM Reviews

First official day in New York and we got to go inside this restaurant. Personally, I never watched the movie but the atmosphere was just like a 19s seaside restaurant! Tye crab rolls were the best for me but the shrimp was really flavourful, and the sauce was excellent too. The waiters even pointed out on the best dishes that hey recommended us to try, everyone should give this place a shot
Came here on. A Sunday evening. It was not crowded and was seated quickly. The appetizers range from 12-17 dollars with shrimp entree priced around 24-30$$. Te space is nice with windows all around so you can see Times Square with all the lights the can chowder is ok and the fried shrimp pretty good. The food took a while to come.
Kid friendly fun x fun.
Happy employees making happy customers. This kitchen crafts & perfects the preparation of fresh seafood and much more.
The ambiance is modesty as an art form.
I recommend Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. to all.
Delightfully surprised to find this cute restaurant and gift shop.
Everything was relevant to the film and so well put together. The atmosphere was perfect, with people from all over, marvelling and reminiscing about the film. One area was even decorated like mama's house! Posters, quotes and merch at every turn - a really fun experience with good food and located within easy reach of Time Square.
They did only offer one vegetarian main dish and a couple of sides - but the one dish they served was delicious!
Gorgeous New York cheesecake for dessert ????
They had a limited offer of a free etched glass with every beer or cocktail, which would be a lovely keepsake.
Pretty overhyped in my opinion - we came with great expectations after a recommendation from a friend, but thought the food was relatively flat.
Food: Garlic prawns were nice, although the prawn shells were sticky and hard to peel, which could be due to freshness.
Service: Service was good throughout, fast and decent service.
Atmosphere: Very old school, interesting decor like a NY-style diner.
Overall, I think there are much better options in NY, but your mileage may vary!
Don’t be fooled into thinking this is just another chain restaurant in time square. The Forest Gump themed restaurant is full of clever references to the icon parts of the movie that add to the experience. The food was above expectations and the view through huge windows over time square was an added benefit to the overall experience. Would highly recommend for a medium size group.
The Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. on Broadway in New York City offers a unique dining experience with a theme inspired by the beloved movie Forrest Gump. As soon as you step inside, the playful and nostalgic decor grabs your attention. Movie memorabilia, quotes, and playful nods to iconic scenes make the atmosphere feel fun and immersive. For fans of the film, it’s a treat to see elements like the famous bench and the “Run, Forrest, Run” signs.
However, when it comes to the food, the experience might not match the excitement of the decor. The dishes, while inspired by the shrimp-heavy cuisine mentioned in the movie, tend to be average in flavor and presentation. For a place so lively and themed, the meals feel underwhelming and a bit overpriced compared to the vibrant atmosphere.
In the end, the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. is more about the ambiance and the connection to Forrest Gump than culinary excellence. It’s worth a visit for fans of the movie, but perhaps not for the food itself.
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. offers a delightful dining experience with a fun and lively atmosphere inspired by the classic movie "Forrest Gump." The restaurant's themed decor and friendly staff create a welcoming environment for guests of all ages.
The menu boasts a wide variety of seafood options, with shrimp dishes being the star of the show. The Shrimp Scampi and Cajun Shrimp are particularly delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned to enhance their natural flavors. The portion sizes are generous, making it great value for money.
One of the highlights is the interactive aspect of dining here. The waitstaff engage with diners through trivia and playful banter, adding a unique and enjoyable element to the meal. The service is attentive, ensuring that all needs are met promptly.
While the overall experience is fantastic, there are a few areas for improvement. Some dishes, like the fish and chips, can be a bit inconsistent in quality. Additionally, the noise level can get quite high during peak hours, which might not be ideal for those seeking a quieter dining experience.
Overall, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. delivers a memorable dining experience with tasty seafood, a lively atmosphere, and excellent service. It's a great place for a fun night out with family and friends.
