In Short – With its distressed-wood bar and framed "Gump"-isms, this franchise is teaming with kitschy fun. Chock-full of movie memorabilia, framed still images from the film line the walls while Depression-era props perch on shelves. Expect a piped-in, good-time vibe: Smiling servers quiz diners on movie trivia. Popcorn shrimp, peel-and-eat shrimp, shrimp po' boys--practically every preparation Bubba ever conceived is available in huge portions for not much money.

Don't eat the food
by CSMobileUser
it's all about the theme. the food is frozen, not fresh at all. entertaining, but not the place to eat.

Fun, Fun Fun and GREAT FOOD- ( also very fun employees)
by ga1945
Bubba Gumps keeps being our choice for a fun apmosphere and great prices. The food is very predictable ( which we love) and the noise level is LOUD- but we love this place. We always get a Bucket of Trash ( don't ask- just order it) and the spicy peel and eat shrimp. We wait for a window table and always have fun. We are returning to Monterey this week to cerebrate my husbands birthday and I cannot wait to embarass the stuffing out of him when the Bubba Bunch make him get up and sing to him!!
And- oh yes, we are in our 60's- so- this is not just for kids. Oh wait- thats what we feel like when we are there. Enjoy- its worth the wait !!!!
- Pros: Great Food, Fun Employees
- Cons: Can get VERY loud.

GUMP!!!
by montereyjack
Where else but on the historic Cannery Row would you find a place like this.. I have been to Bubba Gumps about four times and have always had a good expierance. At times there is a wait and yes it is a little loud, so if you are looking for a quiet romantic spot Bubba Gumps not for you...
People are eating and having a good time, I don't care for the drinking that some do but to each his own. it all makes for good atmosphere. I have never had a rude waitor or waitress and they were always quick on the soda refills. They have a decent selection of food, and the portions are good.
I would go back again but will stick to the off days or rainy days when the mass amounts of tourists stay home.
"And that's all I got to say about that"
- Pros: Decor, atmosphere
- Cons: very busy on peak tourist days and weekends
