Description: If you have never eaten at Bubba Gump’s Shrimp Company you have to put this on your list of must do’s while in Hawaii! That is assuming you like shrimp. If not they have other dishes to choose from. I have visited a few Bubba Gump’s around the country and this one is #1 all the way! We were warmly greeted walking up to the doors and then shown to our table, which happened to be RIGHT ON THE WATER. I could have put my arm out and dropped something and it would have landed in the ocean.
As far as the service, they have a great system worked out. They have license plates, yes license plates on the tables. One says "Run Forrest Run" the other "Stop Forrest Stop." If you have ever seen the movie you will know what I’m talking about. When everything is fine you leave the "Run Forrest Run" sign up and when you need a drink, have a question, want to order, have a problem, you flit it over to "Stop Forrest Stop" and who ever, even if it is not your waitress/waiter will stop and take care of ANYTHING you need. It’s VERY impressive to see the staff work as a team!
Not only is the atmosphere amazing and the staff friendly and efficient, the food is top notch. For OCEAN FRONT dining, you can’t beat $15-20 a plate. Especially with the type of service and all the fun they like to have. At one point we all stopped (EVERYONE literaly) eating and serving and watched the last few moments of the sun going beyond the horizon. Then the fun began. They started having trivia questions about the movie seeing who was the most knowledgeable in the restaurant. It made for a fun and relaxing evening with great food.
