Don't go to Bubba Gumps Navy Pier

by sabbara at Citysearch

Don't support or waste your money here. Company doen't stand behind the patron. Our issues on our visit:

3 of 4 of us became ill after eating there. Wait staff misplaced my c.card which was given for payment, did not have a view of the lake as told, and more. After many calls to reach management, who failed to follow up with us - I had to make all the calls and even contacted Cal. office to see if we could come to an agreement.because I felt a portion of the bill should have been credited. I found them less then supportive or understanding about the important night that they ruinded. They were a take the money and run spot. I won't be supporting them ever again - they don't care I won't invest.

Food cooked in old grease

by trisamst at Citysearch

I loved this place, but for some reason, the last few years haven't been so good here. Why? Because the fried food, especially the shrimp, taste like it was cooked in old cooking oil. I couldn't figure it out at first. Then it dawned on me...there are not cooking the shrimp in fresh oil. I sent my order back, only to get the same results. Please, please use fresh oil!

• Pros: Great Variety
• Cons: Use fresh cooking oil

OK, but

by doomed100 at Citysearch

My grandchildren wanted to go to Bubba Gump's at Navy Pier in Chicago. A bit pricy for ordinary or less than ordinary food. The Cobb salad at $ 10.99 was mostly spinach, lettuce, some cut-up chicken, a little avocado and little else. These days you can throw anything together and call it Cobb. The hamburger sandwich looked good . Clam chowder ok. Waiter brought the wrong salad first. Took 10 minutes to get the Cobb afterwards. Understandable in such a busy place. This is a place for kds.

"It looks like a place you'd see in a movie!"

by vik_granger at Citysearch

My aunt and uncle were visiting from India and my Mom was visiting from NJ. I was showing them Chicago and the Navy Pier and we went here as a secondary choice - but, am I glad we did! It was a success! My uncle loved it! In particular, he loved the ambiance - he said "It looks like a place you'd see in a movie!" They loved the shrimp entree's. I ordered a 1 1/2 lb bucket of steamed peel & eat shrimp with Cajun spice, and it was excellent. The steaming partially splits the shrimp, making it even easier to take the shell off. You can order a 3/4 lb bucket, but I recommend getting the larger size - even if you can't finish it, the Cajun shrimp tastes great cold a couple days later. Service was excellent. Waiter was outgoing and pleasant, and his manner suited the environment perfectly. Also, we went for dinner at around 8:00 PM on a weekday and there was no wait (but it was still a happening place!)

• Pros: Good shrimp! Friendly greeting.
