    Very nice atmosphere, with pleasent and fast service. The food was very nice with good portions for the average appetite. The only 'gripe' I could have was that they were a bit previous with the bill, it arriving before we'd all even finished the main course, let alone discussed desert. They did apologise though. We arrived just after 1pm and had around a 40 minute wait which wasn't too much of a problem with their text updates.

    This was an interesting stop! It was our first time there. The service was good. The food was good. The atmosphere was fun for Forrest Gump fans! We loved the trivia questions at the end! Double plus: they make a really good Bloody Mary!

    This place do not only serve food, but an entire experience inspired to the famous Forrest Gump movie. Everything recalls the movie, from the furniture to the pictures on the wall. It mostly serves shrimps, prepared in all the possible ways, but you can also find some fish dishes. We got shrimp dishes, of course, and they were all tasty, balanced and delicious. Staff kind and friendly. Quite expensive, but worth the price.

    I love the vibes of this restaurant and all wall decors. The server was very friendly and knows a lot about this restaurant. Drinks are kinda overpriced but food taste really delicious. I had a great experience here and will come again.

    The food was awesome and our server was fun! There was a 45 minute wait but they took my cell number and sent a text when our table was ready, so we didn't have to just have to stand there and wait. It was me, my husband, and two kids. We spent, $150 before tip. It's a little pricey if you get food and drinks, but the meals were fantastic. Just plan to spend a bit of money.

    A good place to visit here @navy pier. Ordered some of the best items we ordered from our previous trips. The quality of shrimps has been declining since our last visit. It doesn't taste the same. The rest of the items were great this time around though. Drinks are very refreshing as well.

    Enjoyed my experience here. Service was nice and quick while food was still good. Unfortunately no one at our table saw Forrest Gump so the trivia was too difficult πŸ˜‚ Wish there was a location in Toronto....

    I picked this place because I LOVE seafood. It was good. I have definitely had better at other Bubba Gump locations. I feel like this location has less of a selection. My friend who didn’t like sea food, said her burger was just alright. Service was great! They have SWEET TEA. That’s always a plus!

    Service was a bit slow, especially for later in the evening. But, the staff is very friendly and the food was great. Gotta love their Gump trivia and the inevitable punch line that goes along with it. Signature drinks are all tasty plus you usually get to keep the glass.

    We have wanted to try one of these places and finally got the chance to when we visited the Navy Pier in Chicago. First thing, I hate that you have to walk through their merchandising store (like Cracker Barrel haha) before you get to the restaurant. I am glad I don't have small kids to bug me to buy them one of everything! We were seated quickly and the waitress made some recommendations. We ordered the garlic bread as she said it was to die for (it was not. I have made better stuff in my toaster oven at home). I had the Shrimper's Heaven (shrimp 4 ways, with dipping sauce and fries). It was a bit pricey but looked to have a lot of shrimp. I asked to remove the coconut shrimp from the basket and to have them replace it with any of the other types (grilled, fried, tempura) and was told it would be no problem. My husband got the BBQ Cheeseburger (with fries). While waiting for the food, the waitress came back and we played Forest Gump trivia. I think she was getting a bit exasperated at the end, when she couldn't stop my husband, who remembers every inconsequential trivia fact but can't remember his own birthday :) Hubby enjoyed his burger, however, when my shrimp arrived there were coconut shrimp on my plate. I pointed this out to the waitress who quickly brought me another selection of fried shrimp. I particularly liked the grilled and tempura shrimp, the fried was like something you would find in the freezer section of a grocery store. Fries were kind of squishy. Service was fast, food was good, but when we got the bill, I noticed they had charged me an extra $1. When I asked the waitress about it, she said that was what they charged for making a change to the shrimp order. After pointing out that she never mentioned this to me (nor could we find it on the menu). She spoke to the manager, and the charge was removed. So it ended up fine but still, being charged for making a minor change to an item, at a chain restaurant? Wow. So, the food was good, service was fine, prices were a bit high but it is Chicago. Glad we went but don't need to go again.
