Bumpa Gumps

[sal13579]

On a previous thread, the suggestion was made not to miss Bumpa Gumps Bayside. OK, I am lost! What is Bumpa Gumps and why shouldn't I miss the opportunity to go there? Will be arriving in Miami on Saturday for our cruise next Sunday. Thanks for any info.

[Vidimom]

It is actually "BUBBA GUMPS". If you remember the movie Forrest Gump, this is a spin off restaurant that sells all kinds of "SHRIMP". Personally I have never eaten there but others I know have and really enjoyed the shrimp. I am allergic to shellfish so I have not had any interest in going there.

Here is a link to their website with the location:

Our group of Paradise CCr's (Paradise Seekers) met there the night before our cruise. It was an excellent place to get together for the "meet & greet" we all had a great time!

I'm not much for shrimp, so I had their fish n' chips. It was really good!

If you decide to go, make sure you watch the movie before you go. Because the servers will you on the spot, and will ask a few trivia questions about the movie.

I think it is a law that you have to eat at Bubba Gumps if you go to Bayside.

Trvexprt,
OMG, thanks for telling me there's one in Daytona! I will have to go through there in a couple of weeks to get to Tampa for our cruise! Is it far off I95? Does anyone know how to get there from I95?
I was wondering if we were gonna have to wait 'til Orlando to eat something!!

We've eaten at the one in New Orleans, and are lucky enough to be working in San Francisco, and there's one here, too!

No one mentioned the desserts at Bubba Gumps in Bayside. Yummy !! You just have to squeeze it in after you've eaten all of the shrimp. I believe there's a dessert called Jenny's strawberry shortcake. Mmmmmm.

There's a Bubba Gumps out here in Monterey, Ca. They are supposed to be opening a new one near the Queen Mary in Long Beach.

Hi, Lori, Nancy and John:

Roger & I were in the "meet & greet" at Bubba Gumps with you guys too. We had already been there, so we'd be the first to say, don't miss it, but we only went a second time to hang with the CC gang, because we weren't overly jazzed about the food.

Lori, remind us when you guys are going on the Conquest, because I think we might still join you and your DHs. Nancy, so glad to hear we didn't scare you and John off! Where are you going and when?

Peace,

Liv,
I didn't discover seafood until I moved to 'The Heart of Dixie', and have never looked back.
Not too much call for it in the late '60's early '70's in New Mexico. The indigenous peoples there would say the same about their chile, and they'd be RIGHT!!!
Have lived in Motown, and the mashed potatoes and fried chicken were WONDERFUL (Frankenmuth). They also have the broccoli and cheese bites at this place in Farmington Hills that was like the ones Friday's used to sell. Noodles were done right!
Here, it's the 'low country boil'!!
Everywhere I've ever lived, I've gotten to love the different flavor. Now, when I cook, I mix this one with that one, and am (pleasantly) surprised with the results!

Bubba gumps is great. First one I went to was in Maui. I have been to the San Francisco one several times when we visit our son in college. The Long Beach one is open, but haven't been there yet. If you like shrimp, it is a fun place to go.

Hi Lorrie, Judy & Nancy-John:

I knew I would find some of our Paridise Seekers here.

Our meet & greet at Bubba Gumps was very nice. I think the atmosphere makes it a great start to your cruise.

I love seafood and would not consider Bubba Gumps as one of my favorites, but would go back the next time in Miami.

"Paradise Seekers" I know I've been fishing for our next cruise, but haven't booked yet, the 10/31 Conquest or 2/20 Valor are actually in the time frame we want to take our cruises. We are looking for Oct/Nov and Jan/Feb. Would love to go early October, but I have another granchild due September 21. This is my son's first!

Hey, Bev: You found us all at Bubba Gumps and answered my question. It's possible we'll have our union negotiations settled by 10/31 ... but we won't be able to book until that's for sure. That's a definite maybe for me and Roger, depending if cabins are still available. How fun!
