Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
Service dominates the conversation here — it comes up in 53% of the 30 reviews. Service tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 5.0 stars. After that, pacing appears most often — 23% of the corpus, averaging 5.0.
If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (29 reviews). One subject never comes up here: plate size. The split is 30 positive to 0 negative across 30 rated reviews.
Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (100/100), nothing cited at the most recent DBPR visit. DBPR last walked in on June 19, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is improving, which argues for giving it the benefit of the doubt. On health score it sits safer than 100% of the Orange County restaurants we grade. The inspector left without citing anything — worth noting, since most visits find something.
Both measures agree, which is the least complicated version of this page. The individual reviews are below, newest first, if you want the raw material.

Caught in rainstorm at Universal and JR took wonderful care of us. Very patient with our questions and ordering.

J.R. was our server and he made our time at Bubba Gump so enjoyable! Friendly and fast service and he was very entertaining as well.
-
Food & drink were very good: enjoyed a bowl of gumbo and a Jack Daniel’s tea. Hit the spot. This review is specifically for my server Christina. There is no more cute, sweet, effervescent or attentive person across all of Universal’s Citywalk. She is exceptional and I will always ask for her section any time I return. Do yourselves a favor, folks: ask for Christina!

First time here and we will definitely be back many times. The whole experience was great. The food was awesome but the service was over the top. Our waiter Sean was absolutely the best! So friendly helpful, funny. We only hope when we return we can have another Sean experience. He made it over the top!!! Love it. Thanks

Thank you bubba and thank you LEROY! Came in clutch by making me a mean AP (those who know). And was served an excellent dish of captains fish and chips, which was absolutely delectable. May have not done swell on trivia but was shown respect from our wonderful server Leroy.

Bubba Gump is our go to spot every time we come to universal and it continues to outdo itself each and every time! The food was delicious (not surprised, it always is). I got the dippin boil 15/10, make sure to dip your garlic bread in the sauce! Also a big thank you to Doug he is just the best! He took amazing care of our family. I hope everyone gets the pleasure to have him as their server!!! WE WILL BE BACK! :)))
