This is my second visit to Bubba Gump. Food here is great and even though it’s busy, service is just as good. The only negative I have on the service is food auctioning. I’m amazed at how often I have to write about that in my reviews but if this is the first time reading one, it’s a pet peeve of mine. Your food should always be served to you without you having to claim it.
The ambiance here is a lot of fun. The whole restaurant is filled with memorabilia from the movie and the waitress quizzed us on Forrest Gump movie trivia (which I aced).
As far as value, I would say this is on the expensive side, especially for the portion sizes. Portions are not small but they are far from generous. I remember thinking that last time when I ordered the shrimp broil.
In conclusion, if you want a great meal and your not too hungry or if you don’t mind shelling out some extra cash for some appetizers and some desert to top off the tank, I definitely recommend a visit.

Bubba Gump, themed after the famous.ovie Forrest Gump is a very interesting place to visit.
First off the food is amazing and the decor is themed from the movie Forrest Gump.
There are references of the movie in posters and pictures on walls.
This was not our first visit, we have been to other bubba Gump locations as well.
It is definitely a good restaurant and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves seafood.

This was an amazing experience! I’m on vacation here at the mall of America but I’m from the coastal south. I got the jambalaya and I made me feel warm and at home in a very different environment from my normal. Bunny was our server and she was the sweetest and most attentive waitress a girl could ask for! And she was hilarious! I highly recommend this place for a bite when at the mall of America, and ask for Bunny!!

Wonderful dinner with excellent service from Makenzia. Spoke with the manager Laura who was so friendly and went out of her way to praised Makenzia. What a great team of employees you have at the mall of America.

Jessica was amazing! Food was good but the experience was definitely the staff there. While we waited, we could hear the interactions the other tables had with their servers; all of them were super friendly and excited to interact.

Always sold out of stuff on the menu, we drive an hour just to find out what we came for is sold out half the time. No shrimp tempora I think one time they were sould out of Mahi Mahi why don't they post a sign outside too so you don't set down to order drinks and then realize they don't have your food.

Had an absolute amazing experience. I've wanted to eat at Bubba Gumps for a long time and finally got the chance. Ordered Forrest's Seafood Feast, and I didn't leave hungry. Forgot to get a collectible chocolate tin though, so I have more reason to come back. Best food I've had all this trip, only downside was navigating the mall to find it. Great job everyone.

Service was great. We aced the trivia quiz at the end. It's harder than you'd think, even for a big forrest gump fan. Atmosphere is super fun. Loved all the quotes everywhere. Food was accurate and fresh. Everything shrimp!

The food was decent. My only complaint is when you think of Bubba shrimp( or at least when I think of Bubba Shrimp) I start thinking of how Manny different kinds of shrimp he named. The options here are very limited. I remember seeing like 3 kinds of shrimp, and that's it. The food was good, though. I just wish there would have been more of a variety.
