Yep, I’ve heard of this chain. I visited the location at Mall of America, but never visited near location at Pier 39 in San Francisco. Do you remember the rainforest Café? Thanks for the video.
Went to the one in Vegas (not sure if it's still there) many years ago. It was over priced garbage. They have one in Gatlinburg we walked into so my son could get a shirt. Could you imagine being in a place like Biloxi, MS with all the great local food and choosing Bubba Gumps? Naw. In Gatlinburg there was no way in hell I was gonna not eat local. One of my favorite movies though. And a Roll Tide to y'all!
I have an issue with Bubba Gump, or more precisely the Santa Monica Pier. Years ago, the Pier underwent a significant upgrade, seeking out new businesses. Once we had a family-owned restaurant called the Boardwalk, which I recall having very good food and good business -- and the Pier pretty much forced them out because they were unable to pay a million dollars a year in rent. Word was that the Pier (or the City) kept upping their rental fees and placing obstructions in their path until finally they were forced to shut down. Still not happy about that. The people behind the Pier Project made a BIG DEAL about seeking local businesses. And then they accepted an offer from Bubba Gump - NOT a local business in any way shape or form - to take over the Boardwalk's location because they WERE able to pay a million dollars a year in rent. I wasn't particularly interested in Bubba Gump anyway. They always seemed to me a company more enamored of their license than actually producing good food. Didn't go there before, but I was so angry at how the Pier Project treated the Boardwalk that I decided to stage my own private boycott of the place. I haven't been to THAT Bubba Gump nor any other, and have no desire to start now.
I went there for my 30th birthday years ago in San Francisco. It was awesome 😊
Used to have one at Navy Pier in Chicago. Think I went to it one time. Never saw one anywhere else.
Wow that's awesome I want to go

Hey Eric, here's another suggestion: Winston Tires
thank you for the suggestion
Overpriced, bland food and pathetic service
