Bubba Gump in Denver offers a mixed dining experience. While many diners praised the "amazing" staff and the "very good" drinks, opinions on the food quality varied, with some enjoying "amazing" dishes like ribeye and shrimp. Service speed and food consistency need improvement, but the ambiance remains inviting.

    Staff seemed to be out of sorts. Host was not present at entrance, and somewhat overwhelmed with what their role was. Server was fine, however disappeared for extended periods during our visit. Waited for check over 15 minutes after we requested it. Food - was good, but we only had gumbo and hushpuppies. Drink- Lavaflow had no flavor, we notified our server and she gladly replaced. 2nd was no better. My observation, the staff seemed to be sparse and clueless. Their didn’t seem to be anyone overseeing the operation. I’d encourage BGS manager outside this facility to check it out in the hopes it was a one time experience for us.

    The waiter seemed overly frazzled. It took forever to just get water, two specific drink orders were prepared incorrectly, I was served a Long Island iced tea even though I ordered a Margarita. He forgot our calamari appetizer until after our entrees were served. We have to physically go to the bar to correct our drink orders, go to the kitchen to request more water. The chicken sandwich had little chicken and was very greasy. The calamari lacked flavor and was cold. Will not return.

    Honestly, our experience was OK. We had a pre show dinner and chose Bubba Gumps based on past experiences. Food was OK-smaller portions with an average presentation. There was nothing exceptional to separate it from other casual restaurants. Sad because it used to be a fun place to visit.

    We totally enjoyed our dinner at Bubba Gumps tonight. Nia was an excellent server- so on top of everything we needed and a pleasure to chat with- so personable! New items are starting to be added to the menu now that they have new ownership. We love the atmosphere- so comfortable. We really appreciated the Manager Cameron- he stopped by to check on how our meal went. He was truly interested in our experience and it was clear to us that he is proud to work at this restaurant. We will be back!

    Over all it was a good dining experience. The food was OK, perhaps my expectations were set to high. We were seated on the upstairs level with a nice view of the street. The table across the room was loud and obnoxious!! The bartender and drinks were GREAT!

    The food was great and the service was excellent. Nikki was so attentive and a pleasure to talk to. Justin the manager was awesome. We realized after we paid our bill that the Landry's Select discount was not included. Justin took care of it immediately and with a smile! We already have two more reservations lined up and we are looking forward to it!

    Service was very slow and restaurant was not crowded. It was so cold in there that diners had to wear coats. Food was gross. Tasteless. Tasted like frozen food. Too much mayo in sandwich. Overall awful experience. Had never been to one and will never go back.
