What diners say — our read

One subject runs through these 28 reviews more than any other: front-of-house. The staff tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.5 stars.

What nobody raises here is tidiness — it goes unmentioned across all 28 reviews. More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 25 of 28. 26 of 28 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 2 are two or lower.

On the inspection side the picture is cleaner: DBPR graded this kitchen an A (96/100), with 4 basic violations. Whatever the reviews argue about, sanitation is not the weak point. That result dates from March 17, 2026. Its inspection trajectory is upward over the records we hold. That puts it ahead of 73% of graded kitchens in Volusia County. What the inspector actually wrote up: floors, walls, ceilings clean & maintained.

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. Full reviews follow below in the order they were left.

    Visited Daytona May28-June 1st and reserved a table for my sister's Birthday Bash and watch the Kiss Tribute band on May 30th. The view was better than the seats I had tickets for and the food was Amazing!! The 1lb of Seasoned Shrimp was boiled with perfection and well seasoned. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Its definitely a staple in my visits back to Daytona!!!

    Lauren was a great server. Steak was a little disappointing and overcooked, but she had them fix it immediately.

    My server Nicole was the absolute BEST!!! From the experience to her being 100% attentive the entire time!! It was also my daughter’s birthday and she made it such an experience! My daughter came in grumpy but left with THE BIGGEST SMILE ON HER FACE AND IT WAS ALL BECAUSE OF NICOLE THAT SHE LEFT WITH A SMILE!!! Coming from previous bartenders and servers she was AMAZING!!! I will return because of her one million percent!!! I hope I get her as my server again and will definitely request her to be that!!! My daughter said she deserves 10 stars not just 5!!!

    We dined there on 6/20/26. Believe we accidentally left credit card behind but unable to confirm. Tried calling multiple times at different times of the day but no one answers the phone! Ultimately had to cancel the card. 1 star for lack of customer service

    JoJo who worked in the giftshop was FANTASTIC!!! She helped my son calm down from a temper tantrum and took good care of us! I'd go back just to see her honestly

    I had the most enjoyable lunch at Bubba Gump Daytona today. It was especially nice because of my server/bartender CYNTHIA who was so pleasant and accommodating to me. I also enjoyed seeing the ocean water from my comfortable booth. 😎

    06/23/2025 - The recent visit was marred by an overwhelming and disruptive atmosphere. The restaurant was filled with incredibly loud and attention-seeking customers, making it difficult to even hold a conversation. This issue was further compounded by some waitstaff who seemed to encourage this behavior, engaging in loud trivia games with these patrons. While a lively atmosphere is appreciated, this felt excessive and made for an unbearable dining experience. If the restaurant could better manage the noise level and ensure a more balanced atmosphere, it would greatly improve the dining experience for patrons seeking a more relaxed environment. In contrast, our server Arissa remained calm, attentive, and incredibly friendly throughout the meal, despite the challenging atmosphere created by a few overly boisterous tables, she handled every request with a smile and made sure patrons felt well taken care of, which was no small feat given the circumstances. On another note, looking through the reviews for actual food photos is a chore because of all the people posting self-admired, trashy "modeling" shots. For women - Dressing up like Taylor Swift doesn't make you Taylor Swift. For men - It feels like they’re auditioning for a low-budget country music video or trying to channel a professional quarterback on his day off, but they’re actually just standing in a suburban shrimp restaurant, and the rest of us just want to see the shrimp, not your scary photo shoot.

    The food here is amazing and the staff is very welcoming. I tried the shrimp scampi pasta and the presentation of the dish and the taste was great. I’m staying in Daytona for an archery tournament and Bubba Gump really brightens my perspective of the area. Definitely recommend!!

    Thank you for convincing me to not get the shirt and wear it as a crop top. Amazing service and food

  • June 18, 2026

    Expensive if you ain't cheap

  • June 18, 2026

    The tortilla chips was terrible. Very oily. Old oil was used. Shrimp tasted like was fried in old oil. Server was very good.

  • June 18, 2026

    The waitress Mischele ( I may be spelling her name wrong and I apologize but I want to give her credit), she was the best waitress I think I have ever had in my life! She made a suggestion of the Jambalaya and she was absolutely correct! She was very attentive, friendly and a great human being. I would definitely come here the next time I go to Orlando and ask for her is she is available. You will enjoy this place and worth every penny!

    Jori was a great server and a joy to chat with.
