The food is average and a bit expensive for what you receive. We sat outside and had to move twice due to leaks from the cement above. I am surprised the health department hasn't had something to say about this as it seems quite unsanitary. The waitstaff is enthusiastic and friendly. They really try to make it a good experience....

I am not crazy about chain restaurants but this had the perfect location. Sat outside and watched the boats in the bay. The food was great and the mango daiquiri was heavenly.

Entree's priced very high. View at the Pass is wonderful and a great place to have a few drinks. Comfortable.

This was worth a visit especially if you love the film Forrest Gump. The coconut shrimp are really good and and the grilled shrimp with pasta and a lemon sauce was very tasty too. Tables have a car tag plate which says stop forrest stop when you want a server and turn it to run forrest run if you don't... More

The price was beyond the caliber of the food and atmosphere, which were nothing spectacular - average at best. The name is a tourist attraction I suppose and I should not have had expectations beyond that. As others have commented, there are a number of local establishments nearby that we did try and were glad we did, you may want... More

I don't like chain restaurants, but this place was really good. I had the shrimp kabobs with the glaze on them. They were excellent. The atmosphere is cheesy, but if you really like Forest Gump I guess you'd be happy.

We had an ok lunch here. Overpriced and just average food. I would recommend finding a little local place that probably has much better food. The location in John's Pass is a big plus for this place but to me that's it. I had a Shrimp Po Boy...I'd say it was barely average. Husband had a burger, average and like... More

This Bubba Gumps is at the John's Pass Bridge in Madeira Beach. If at the bar, on the south side, you can watch the boats go by and the dolphins frolic. The food is OK at best. The margarita I had was a 20 oz and the helpful waiter had asked for "less ice" to be put in the glass... More

Bubba Gumps at John's Pass in Madeira Beach is a tourist trap. It is not worth the wait or the money. We had a 45 minute wait at 8:15 in the evening. Then once we got a table, we waited forever to be greeted by a server. Once we placed our order, it took a very long time to get... More
