We decided to truly enjoy our last full day in Charleston. We stopped at the Bubba Gump Restaurant for a pre-dinner treat. We ordered the chocolate cake, thinking that the three of us could easily polish it off. We were wrong. The chocolate cake that was delivered to our table was large enough to feed an army!

It was FUN! Many pictures were taken in this restaurant, with a low-key atmosphere and a neat way to get your host or hostess to come to your table is so cool! They even have a guy dressed up in a LARGE SHRIMP outfit--need I say more when I say "a FUN atmosphere"?

I was a bit disappointed. Being a real Forrest Gump fan, I loved the shop and memorabilia, but the food was just average "Applebee's"-type fare and was a little overpriced. I would have to say that it's all around just average.

Scrumptious! Our group (young children and their parents) chose from fried shrimp, Cheeseburgers, fish and chips, and chicken tenders. Everyone said that their meal was good. The only thing that may have been a problem was everyone who ordered coffee received it lukewarm or cold. We all had to ask for another cup of coffee(?). Other than that, our meals were delicious, and the staff was great! We will definitely return. One of our parents lost her cell phone there, and when we called back an hour or two later, no one had seen or could find the phone. That was a little disappointing, especially since this parent is a doctor and she really needed her cell phone! The students loved it when the waiters played a "Forrest Gump" trivia game. Many of them won great prizes. We didn't have to turn our car tags to "Run Forrest Run" or "Stop Forrest Stop" because the waiters were right there the entire time, and we wanted for nothing. A special treat was the fact that the staff had printed up special menus for us with the name of our school group on top as a heading! Wow! That was very impressive! Our reserved tables were upstairs, and we were given the "red carpet" treatment. The staff treated us as if we were the only ones in the restaurant. This was amazing, considering the fact that the place was packed! It was wonderful!

This place is fantastic! The waitresses are very attentive and it's just a fun place to eat. The food is excellent and the service is too. We asked our waitress to suggest a meal and she mentioned a few of her favorites. I had a meal which consisted of crab legs and various other seafood and veggies served in a basket which was tipped on its side. It was absolutely scrumptious. My husband opted for a fish dish which was just as attractively served and just as delicious. The drinks were very well made. Not too strong and not too weak. JUST RIGHT! As everywhere in South Carolina, the bottomless glass of ice tea is served here. Oh, one thing I did forget to mention, on each table is a sign which you flip over which says "Go Bubba" or "Stop." If you require the services of a waiter or waitress you just flip the sign and someone is there to take care of you within seconds. This adds to the uniqueness of this restaurant.

I would suggest this place to everyone! It's an experience in itself!!
