    This place was very good. The food was fresh and warm. The service was good also. The time to get the food was a little long but it was busy. The restaurant was clean and organized. The issue I have is the restaurants in Cancun are as much as the U.S now. For the same money I can just stay in Florida. ***If anyone likes my honest reviews then please like my post and follow my google account*** -Thanks

    The atmosphere was welcoming and warm. Manolo was very nice and efficient. The price was good and the food was delicious. The hush puppies were a pleasant surprise! Manolo and the staff gave us an anniversary treat to remember. It was a perfect lunch. The fish and shrimp were also delicious.

    10 out of 10 bring a friend! The shrimp was very crispy, fresh & fries well seasoned. Food came out fast, great staff very enthusiastic. They have Forrest Gump memorabilia all around the most other scene. It was pretty cool great photo opportunities. They also have a huge deck on the water as well and bar outside pretty big restaurant I was surprised. My suggestion would be adding more flavors or ways to make the shrimp.

    Great food and location. We had the Cajun Shrimp for an appetizer and Bourbon Street catch of the Day and the Accidental Fish & Shrimp. The frozen lemonade was good. Overall, a great experience if you're looking for a quick bite to eat and no reservation for lunch. We had a visitor that live in up the visit. 🦎

    The corn was tasteless. Shrimps were so tiny... You'd expect much better quality shrimps from them. Service was fast and efficient.

    I've finally visited one of "Bubba Gump's" restaurants, and it was a pleasure. The restaurant is well decorated, waiters are pleasant and fun. If you order a cocktail, you get a glass as a souvenir 🥳 We were a big company,so tried 4 dishes: tacos, shrimps in chipotle sauce, fish and chicken, everything was delicious, and the portions were big.

    This is the best service we had by far the whole 10 days we were in Cancun Susanna was our waitress surprised us with a mini cake to celebrate our one year anniversary. She was absolutely amazing!! You can definitely tell she enjoys and love her job. The food was wonderful as well, but service was far superior to food. I very seldom ever give five stars to any restaurant so..... Hope it means something.

    It was fun to watch the staff sung happy birthday in such a playful manner. The resort food was horrible, so this food was definitely a hit.

    Interestingly enough, best guacamole I’ve had since I’ve been here and this is my 4th place! Food was hot and extremely good. Been to Bubba Gump in US and hands down this is the best one!!! Drinks were also good alcoholic and nonalcoholic! Don’t miss this because it’s a chain.

    If you know Forest Gump you have to try this beautiful restaurant. So much details and the food is amazing. When you order a cocktail you get a free shaker. 😊

    Food we had tasted frozen and bagged, even the shrimp. The Ribs are terrible. Clam chowder was decent . Great service tho. No vale

    Only visited for a drink. Very expensive. Staff are friendly but very pushy for a merchandise sale. Lots of movie props/memorabilia which is great for photo opportunities.

    This place was absolutely amazing never had it before but will be sure to go back next time I’m in Cancun. Hit all the right spots. Shrimp was a very good size and had a lot of. Lovely service!!!!!!

    It's a nice experience, but there aren't more than 100 different ways to prepare shrimp.

  • 5/5 Roger E. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Mohamed Y. 9 months ago on Google
    This was by far the best restaurant we’ve visited in Cancún! Everything from the atmosphere, food, and service was stellar. I have to give a special mention to Jonathan who serviced us throughout our meal, he was very welcoming, gave great recommendations, and was radiating with great energy. Would definitely recommend everyone to stop by here as this is a must have!!

    Nice restaurant, we came with three kids, they enjoyed it. Great food and big portions. Extra thanks to Flor who was super nice with us.

    American diner, look and feel like in the US. Prices also like in the US, not at all mexican friendly. Three drinks and three dishes we paid $120 USD what is a lot. They asked for a 15% tip what is outrageous based on prices here, this is no Miami... better choose a local mexican restaurant.

    Great view of the lagoon at sunset! Good food and menu. All Forest Gump movie theme and the movie playing. Excellent live music entertainment. Family restaurant. No reservations are required.

  • 4/5 Michi B. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved the concept with the signs to let the waiters know If you need something. Everything was very good. The New Orleans Shrimps were very tasty

  • 5/5 Sam 1 year ago on Google
    Food is great, service is excellent! We tried shrimpers heaven, tacos, shrimp soup. The Forrest Gump theme was a nice experience. Will definitely dine again if I get a chance

  • 4/5 Johanna V. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was okay..i had chipotle shrimp but didnt really taste chipotle in it. The food was lacking flavour. Sometimes big restaurants focus more on the fame that they forget about the taste in their food...and its a little over priced. What would Forrest say? Its a great presentation but needs some love

  • 5/5 millmill87 1 year ago on Google
    We had an amazing time. The food was fabulous and the drinks/ alcoholic drinks were well prepared! We sat outside, listened to the live music performed and sang along with her. She was amazing and did a great job. I usually don't like seafood, but my shrimp was amazing and well seasoned!

    Great place for a sunset. A little pricey but the food is really good

  • 5/5 Esraa E. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is good and the atmosphere is really nice but a little pricey

  • 5/5 Miriam Karina Quintanilla T. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful service, ambiance and a perfect lunch. The Shrimp was tasty, the fries fresh, hot and well seasoned, the fried chicken light, moist and crunchy and the mashed tators like moms... I will be back!

  • 5/5 Dianne B. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food and service. Even watched some of Forest Gump. Great little store too.

  • 5/5 David K. 2 years ago on Google
    We visit Cancun 3-4 times a year. We always make Bubba Gump our main hangout. Sometimes we just have a snack, drinks, and play a marble game. Sometimes we eat loads of food and party with others. The staff remember us. From day one the staff have always shown they care and have a great sense of humor. I love the burgers and their key lime pie is almost as good as my own! All the food is fantastic! You will enjoy yourselves whether it’s for a basic date or dinner with kids.

    Great food! Great service! Great outdoor view!

  • 5/5 Nikola P. 1 year ago on Google
    First visit in the Bubba Gump restaurant for me and I wasn't disappointed. I had the forrests seafood feast and mamma's mango mojitos and I very much enjoyed them both. 10/10. Lovely decor and attentitive staff. The only thing I would mention is to have a greeter at the front door that can speak English. Also when I called up to book a table I had to wait until I was passed to someone that would speak English to me.

    Food was very nice, specially their shrimp combo that had all different types of shrimp dishes in the cones. However the fries were very very salty (-1). Otherwise good food.
