Don't go to Bubba Gumps Navy Pier – Don't support or waste your money here. Company doen't stand behind the patron. Our issues on our visit: 3 of 4 of us became ill after eating there. Wait staff misplaced my c.card which was given for payment, did not have a view of the lake as told, and more. After many calls to reach management, who failed to follow up with us - I had to make all the calls and even contacted Cal. office to see if we could come to an agreement.because I felt a portion of the bill should have been credited.... read more

Food cooked in old grease – I loved this place, but for some reason, the last few years haven't been so good here. Why? Because the fried food, especially the shrimp, taste like it was cooked in old cooking oil. I couldn't figure it out at first. Then it dawned on me...there are not cooking the shrimp in fresh oil. I sent my order back, only to get the same results. Please, please use fresh oil!

OK, but – My grandchildren wanted to go to Bubba Gump's at Navy Pier in Chicago. A bit pricy for ordinary or less than ordinary food. The Cobb salad at $ 10.99 was mostly spinach, lettuce, some cut-up chicken, a little avocado and little else. These days you can throw anything together and call it Cobb. The hamburger sandwich looked good . Clam chowder ok. Waiter brought the wrong salad first. Took 10 minutes to get the Cobb afterwards. Understandable in such a busy place. This is a place for kds.

My aunt and uncle were visiting from India and my Mom was visiting from NJ. I was showing them Chicago and the Navy Pier and we went here as a secondary choice - but, am I glad we did! It was a success! My uncle loved it! In particular, he loved the ambiance - he said "It looks like a place you'd see in a movie!" They loved the shrimp entree's. I ordered a 1 1/2 lb bucket of steamed peel & eat shrimp with Cajun spice, and it was excellent. The steaming partially splits the shrimp, making it even easier to take the shell off.... read more

Needs better service !! – Recently met some friends at Bubba Gumps. My wife and I weren?t real hungry so we ordered a popcorn shrimp appetizer and a dessert. After waiting over 30 minutes the dessert arrived first but our waiter seemed lost in confusion because he asked us if our shrimp had arrived yet (you think he would know!) He made no apologies but mumbled something about ?checking on it?. After another 20 minutes we finally had to leave, so I went to the cash register and had the shrimp removed from the bill. They seem... read more

Fast friendly service – I asked my boyfriend to take me here for my birthday during a long weekend trip to Chicago. He had never been so I wanted to take him to Navy Pier anyway and the prices here seemed a little more reasonable than many other downtown seafood place. The food was good, not knock your socks off spectacular or anything, but definitely what I would expect from a chain restaurant in a tourist destination like Navy Pier. I was very impressed with how quickly our orders were taken and brought to the table and al... read more

Nice hang out spot – I think that this restaurant is a "must try," especially if you're a fan of the movie Forrest Gump!!! The food, drinks and the pics were great! There is one dish where the food comes in a little bucket type of dish....the seafood is good! Try it!

"Forrest Gump" theme restaurant serves up shrimp and movie memorabilia to families at Navy Pier. – In Short "Forrest Gump" script pages, costumes and still photos fill this tourist favorite, whose menu items get cutesy names like Gumpberry Cobbler. Regardless of what you order (popcorn shrimp, garlic shrimp, nacho dip, key lime pie), expect it to be done in true Southern style, with full-on garlic, sugar or butter. Highlights include enormous Alaskan king crab legs and the Shrimp Net Catch: a bounteous serving of crustaceans... read more
