“ Blaise was ana mazing server who was attentive and constantly made sure our drinks were filled. Not often these days you just get a down to earth person who is chill and good at their job. 10/10 give this man a raise! Food was good as always. I ended up getting the new Orleans Shrimp which comes on a rice platter. Always a good mix of food that leaves you stuffed. Yet another trip to Bubbas completed on our road trip. ”
“ First time at Mall of America. The first day we decided on Bubba Gump. Good choice. They opened at 11 is located on Level 3. Our server Kelly was very attentive and the food was good. If you are a fan of Bubba Gump and in town, you should feel at home. We both had New England Clam Chowder and Shrimp New Orleans. No complaints. ”
“ I had an amazing lunch here; first time at Bubba Gump’s. The restaurant was super busy but the server was awesome and very attentive. The food was excellent and I especially loved my Lava Flow drink! I love the Forrest Gump memorabilia. It really makes you think about the movie and how fun it is. It is especially fun at this restaurant that you can signal a server by flipping the sign at your table from “Run Forrest Run” to “Stop Forrest Stop!” ”
