Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.
A reliable Hotel Zone dinner when the family needs a meal everyone will eat without negotiation. The Forrest Gump theming lands differently for different ages — toddlers flip signs, kids recognize the movie, teens tolerate the nostalgia — but the terrace over the Nichupté lagoon is the equalizer. Fresh shrimp prepared every way, American portions, and a theatrical service style that keeps the energy up through a long meal.

Tips
- Reserve a terrace table in advance — the lagoon view is the main selling point.
- Order the shrimp sampler for the table so everyone can try multiple preparations before committing.
- The license plate signals are on every table — demonstrate early and let the kids manage them through dinner.
- Weekday evenings before 7 PM are calmer; weekend waits stretch long with mixed-age groups.
