Extremely popular tourist place near the monterey aquarium. Long wait to get in, then wait in line again, then wait for service. Missed a couple things in our order but brought them when called to their attention. Nothing wrong with the food. Nothing surprisingly good either. Solid 3 stars.

Decent food, but overpriced. The location is perfect if you're also going to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Most of the seating has NO VIEW, but if you're lucky enough to end up near the windows, it's beautiful.

Service was awful. We got there early around 11:15 for lunc and there was olny 2 maybe 3 other table sat but we had to wait 10 min for a table. Service was extreemly slow and for us woth 2 kids under 4 thats a big problem. It took forever 20min at least for someone to even come and acknowledge us then 30 mins to get our orders out. Food was decent bot bad not great. Don't bother if you don't have the time to wait.

We stopped at the gift shop outside and bought the $25 membership. The price is refunded the same day so it's a great deal and gives one fast access to the restaurant. It lets you jump the line and is also useful at other chains. (We used it at Claim Jumper the next day.)

Service and food were great. I recommend the shrimp sampler. Great way to try lots of different breadings and sauces. My friends had the fish and chips, and I gobbled up their leftovers the next day. The staff were extremely responsive, even with the place packed.

The place is noisy with sports on the big screen and lots of families with kids. The table has a bucket full of silverware and a roll of napkins for the messy. There's a start/top sign on your table so you can easily signal your waitress if you need anything.

Waited 10 minutes for a table. Finally go in to sit and they had about 15 to 20 tables open. So a 10 minute wait for what?
Get to a table and no interaction with the staff at all. Sitting down for 15 more minutes, and not even a drink order yet. Ok at this point we are seeing others being seated and getting drinks.
Time to leave.

While the service was excellent, the food actually left something to be desired. One would expect that a restaurant specializing in shrimp would prepare them without drying them out or saturating them in butter. Overall, a tourist trap to say at least with mediocre food.

Sebastian, my server is the best! And the food he recommended us was pretty freaking good. The sweet and spicy shrimp appetizer, I hate shrimp. But this....yo it's gold.

the wait to get in was about 15 and was somewhat expected. We ordered out food, drinks and appetizers. Drinks and appetizers came out quickly. It took about 40-45 minutes to get our food. When I got my food my steak was over done and dry. I asked for a new one which they gave me, but my grilled shrimp was cold very disappointed as this is our first time at this restaurant and we were looking forward to this

The first photo I saw is a picture of a bunch of people around a table with drinks in front of them having a blast. My experience was not like that. I took my girlfriend here and I had to explain all of the forest Gump reference. Food was a bit over priced and the drinks were okay. Servers were very nice though!

The waitress was very unfriendly and not listening. Everything I wanted zo ask seemed annoying for her. And I didn't find any parmesan in my cesar salad nor sauce. This wasn't our first visit at bubba gump - but the last one in monterey for sure!!! Ah and did I mention the long wait for our food?...

One of the best places on canary row. Great food and service. Good atmosphere. If you like trivia this is the place. You have been warned. You need to go down there if you want to have a good time. Just saying. Stay sexy people and check this place out.

We had a bit of a wait time but once seated we had our order taken and food on the table in 10-15 minutes. Everything we ordered was good and the prices were reasonable for a tourist chain restaurant. Offering chocolates out of a box would be a good idea.

Its not worth the price of value. Steer clear especially on crowded days. This is not a place to go if high expectations. My recent visit was not cooked fish and chips and other members in my party had food that looks to be sitting for awhile. Not worth the money and may not ever return to this location ever and as a Landry's member of resturaunts.
