Since 1996, Bubba Gump has been the seafood destination guests plan their trips around — not just stumble into. Long before “experiential dining” became the thing every restaurant chases, Bubba Gump was already living it: a meal that’s equal parts great food and unforgettable experience. With nearly 40 locations across the country and around the world — from Times Square to Pier 39, Galveston to Santa Monica Pier — odds are there’s a Bubba Gump seafood restaurant near you or your next destination. 

Bold Cajun flavors, fresh shrimp and seafood, and southern hospitality baked into every plate mean there’s a reason first-timers always become regulars. Whether you come for the shrimp, the film nostalgia, or the sheer size of the portions — you’ll leave with a full stomach, a camera roll full of memories, and a reason to return.
