You eat tasty shrimp here. Then, a couple of days later, you start to see yourself eating shrimp in your sleep. So you go back to bubba gump and eat more shrimp ! Oh it's sooooo so delicious.

Popular spot to eat on the pier . Leave your name on their list and come back after walking about. I prefer the grilled seafood plates over fried. Only downside....Bathroom busy w beach people.

Matt Ta-Min

Food is quite average, but there can be quite a queue due to the number of visitors / tourists . Better to head back along Santa Monica boulevard to find some real food.

Fun place to Eat! I've only had the Texas Cajun Chicken Sandwich and the Shrimper 's Net Catch, Mamma's Southern Fried Chicken..Love it! their Drinks r also great!

Jan Rosenberg

Very touristic as it's at the Santa Monica Pier . Decent seafood and lots of merchandise. Not that cheap .

Brian Burtt

Open at 8am for breakfast on the weekend! The "Surf & Sun" Omlette is amazing! Shrimp , artichoke , spinach , scallions , crab meat and cheese . Be sure to visit the retail shop for goodies!

Kisha

Great service and lively atmosphere . Ordered just some drinks and popcorn shrimp . Didn't particularly care for all that came with the shrimp .

Stephen Koontz

This location is cool because there is actually a shot of the pier in the movie . However they don't have any sense of urgency, which is necessary considering the amount of people who visit the pier .

Garry Mead

Well bit disappointed got the shrimp combo not the cheep one trouble was!???? was expecting something special and it came out cold “warm “ so asked for a refreshing but not a real difference.

Laura Renenger

We weren't looking for "chain" but I gotta say, the shrimp (Catchers Net - cajun spice ) hit the spot! And perfect for keeping my 2 y/o niece entertained while dining!
