Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

The story of Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. began in 1996, debuting on Cannery Row in Monterey, California, as the first and only (even to this day) casual restaurant chain based on a motion picture property. Capturing the magic that made "Forrest Gump" an American classic, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. serves scratch-made, southern-style comfort dishes plucked straight off the silver screen – we’re talking sautéed shrimp, fried shrimp, coconut shrimp, shrimp scampi...(shall we go on?), alongside award-winning baby back ribs, burgers, salads and more in a fun and energetic atmosphere. 

And while the food is the highlight, the fun doesn’t stop there. Diners can test their Forrest Gump knowledge right at their tables with trivia, as well as take a bit of Bubba Gump home with them through various pieces of merchandise, including the ever-popular “Run Forrest Run” T-shirt, a box of chocolates, or a cookbook full of classic recipes. Since its inception, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. has grown into a globally-recognized brand with 15 international locations throughout Asia, Europe and Mexico and 22 locations in the United States. We serve over 7 million meals a year to guests from all over the world!
