Bubba Gump Shrimp Co

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. is a casual American seafood restaurant perched right on the Santa Monica Pier, with the roaring Pacific as its backdrop. The restaurant celebrates the charm and spirit of "Forrest Gump," with down-home decor, movie memorabilia, costumes, and storyboards that bring the film's Alabama setting to life. Southern comfort-style dishes anchor the menu, with shrimp at the center, and table-side hand-shaken margaritas are a crowd favorite. Guests praise the attentive service and the staff's genuine care for dietary needs. The laid-back atmosphere suits everyone from families celebrating holidays to solo visitors soaking up the pier.
