Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

While visiting the Chicago area I ran into another tourist who told me all about this place! I couldn't believe that they actually created a restaurant after such an iconic film, soI had to visit! It was a awesome experience! I loved how the decorations, meals and overall all enviornment went so wrll with the theme of the movie! I thought that it was very unique that they place the sign on the table and you flip it back and forth to let the waiter or waitress know that you wantbtheir attention! A very creative and out of the ordinary eating experience. I'll definitely be taking a few "movie junkie" friends of mine to this place!

This place do not only serve food, but an entire experience inspired to the famous Forrest Gump movie. Everything recalls the movie, from the furniture to the pictures on the wall. It mostly serves shrimps, prepared in all the possible ways, but you can also find some fish dishes. We got shrimp dishes, of course, and they were all tasty, balanced and delicious. Staff kind and friendly. Quite expensive, but worth the price.

The food was awesome and our server was fun! There was a 45 minute wait but they took my cell number and sent a text when our table was ready, so we didn't have to just have to stand there and wait. It was me, my husband, and two kids. We spent, $150 before tip. It's a little pricey if you get food and drinks, but the meals were fantastic. Just plan to spend a bit of money.
