Closed. It was closed. We confirmed our reservation, got our reminder, and it was closed. Had to scramble to find somewhere else to eat before a show.
Open OpenTable allowed me to set up a reservation. My family and I walked over as we were staying at a nearby hotel only to show up and see this location has been permanently closed.
It's permanently closed, but we had no notification about that even able to book reservation
First time we ever saw customers get carded for the credit card they were using. They didn't card us for using a credit card. Is it because we aren't black? Food was good,but the service was terrible. We won't be back. Racism sucks.
We made a reservation and when we arrived, we were told it was going to be up to an hour wait. When we told him we had a reservation he replied with, "a reservation doesn't guarantee a seat, it only puts you on a list." We left without eating, and didnt return. The hostess was trying to get us seated, and had said it would be 5 minutes, but the man that was helping her told her it was not possible.
They were already out of some food items at 5:30 pm. The server wasn’t helpful and it seemed like she didn’t care if we were there or not. The food we did get wasn’t very good and I doubt we’ll ever eat here again.
We had a reservation to eat at Bubba Gumps prior to a show at the Denver Center for the Performing arts. When we arrived, we were informed that we would have to wait about 15 minutes to be seated because they were short a server due to a mandated break. The host, who was great and really trying hard to accommodate all of the guests, suggested that we review the menu while we were waiting to we could order quickly when we were seated. The host finally tracked down an assistant manager to wait on us and we were seated about 25 minutes later than our reservation. When we ordered drinks, we were told that they couldn't serve soda or draft beer because of a CO2 issue. Our food was served quickly and accurately and was average quality. It seemed as though the staff was trying hard to work around issues with staffing and equipment and we appreciated their efforts.
Our group loves this place! We can't get enough! Nia was our server and she was amazing ! She might actually be why the world spins around or the sun rises.

This restart has been on our list for a long time. We were so excited to finally make it in. It was sadly dissapointing. Most of the staff seemed not happy to be there, I get it we're all human, and they were short staffed. The food tasted like it came out of the frozen section in a grocery store and popped in a deep fryer. Very bland and no flavor on the crab boil also. Highlight of the food was the spinach artichoke dip.

I came today to take my boyfriend out to eat. I spent $25 for so I wouldn’t miss my reservation. We were sat at 7:05.
We didn’t get appetizers until 7:45-7:50. Drinks didn’t come until 8 and they close in an hour. We’re still waiting on entrees. The appetizers themselves were good but not excellent for the wait time. I watched a table wait for fifteen minutes before leaving because they weren’t tended to. Another woman had to chase one of the waiters down to be sat.
The food finally came at around 8:15. We weren't checked on at all. No refills on drinks. No asking for extras napkins or any sort of courtesy. It was an awful night.

No crablegs, no lobster rolls. How is it you don't have the two things you are famous for?

The Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant is expectedly gimicky, with LOTS of references to the Forrest Gump movie. It took some effort to get a table because the hostess wasn’t paying attention and thought I was part of a large crowd that was leaving. The menu is mostly fried fish. I had the Shrimp Heaven with three kinds of shrimp. The coconut and tempura shrimp were good, but the regular fried shrimp were overcooked and dry. The fries were average. Their bathrooms are upstairs (!) so hopefully you aren’t handicapped or have bad knees.
