Kailua-Kona Restaurants : Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, Southern Style
* Phone: 808/331-8442 The Famous Forrest Gump Movie also has a famous restaurant chain to go along with it. TV screens all around you play the movie on repeat, and there is a large selection of t-shirts to take home and show your Bubba-Gump pride. The food is good, although I prefer Keahole Prawns over their shipped-in shrimp any day. Recommendations: The "Run Chicken Run" salad boasts a combination of chicken, Gorgonzola cheese, walnuts, and cranberries. Their Bourbon-Street Mahi-Mahi is savory deep-fried goodness of fresh-island catch fish, served along with crispy hush-puppies containing bits of onion, corn and carrot. Breakfast is sure to please, also. Wonderful Ocean-front lanai (porch) dining is available. Kid friendly, Medium Priced. |
