Created after the success of the movie Forrest Gump, Bubba Gump Shirmp Co. was the company Forrest started in remembrance of his best friend who was killed in action during Vietnam. Now a national chain, these restaurants are literally everywhere from Times Square in New York City to Lahaina, Maui in Hawaii. If it is a tourist destination, you can almost be sure to find a Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Our local Bubba Gump opened in the spring of 2012, with a variety of seafood and a great view, we love having them around.
