Title: "When Shrimp Saved the Day: A Tale of Delayed Flights and Culinary Triumph"
Once upon a time, in the mystical land of Cancun Airport, weary travelers faced a formidable foe: the dreaded four-hour flight delay. Their stomachs grumbled like discontented dragons, and their patience waned faster than a toddler's attention span.*
*Amidst the chaos, a beacon of hope emerged—a sign that read "Bubba Gump Shrimp Co." Now, dear reader, imagine this: a restaurant named after a fictional shrimp-loving character, nestled in an airport. It's like finding a unicorn sipping a latte at Starbucks.
Our intrepid adventurers—let's call them Sir Hungry and Lady Impatient—marched into Bubba Gump's with the determination of knights seeking the Holy Grail (or at least a decent meal). The ambiance? Nautical kitsch meets Forrest Gump nostalgia. The walls whispered tales of shrimp boats, ping pong, and life's unpredictable box of chocolates.
The service? Impeccable. The waitstaff glided around like ballet dancers, twirling trays of shrimp scampi and reciting shrimp trivia. Sir Hungry, ever the inquisitive knight, asked, "What's the capital of shrimpdom?" The waiter replied, "New Orleans, sire!
Now, let's talk about the food. The menu boasted shrimp in more forms than a chameleon at a disco: grilled, fried, coconut-crusted, and even doing the cha-cha with pasta. Lady Impatient, her eyes wide as saucers, declared, "I want it all!"
But it was the Caesar salad that stole the show. Picture this: crisp romaine leaves, tossed in dressing so divine that angels high-fived in heaven. The croutons? Crunchier than a squirrel's secret stash. And the parmesan? Well, it melted on the tongue like a love letter from a cheese wheel.
As they devoured their shrimp platters, Sir Hungry mused, "Why did the shrimp cross the road?" Lady Impatient rolled her eyes. "To get to the other tide, obviously.
And so, dear reader, in the midst of flight delays and airport chaos, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. became their sanctuary. They left with full bellies, shrimp-induced wisdom, and a newfound appreciation for shrimp-themed restaurants.
And as they boarded their delayed flight, Sir Hungry whispered, "Life is like a plate of shrimp—you never know what you're gonna get."
And Lady Impatient replied, "True, but I hope it's not another delay.
And so ends our tale—a shrimp-tastic adventure that turned a mundane wait into a flavorful memory.
May your future flights be shrimpier and your delays shorter! 🍤✨

Read moreI had an unexpected and delightful breakfast experience at Bubba Gump in the Cancun airport recently. What stood out immediately was their very tasty and unusually thin omelet. It was a refreshing change from the thicker, more traditional omelets I'm used to, and it definitely caught my attention for all the right reasons.
The omelet came with a side of interesting salsa, which had a very unusual flavor that complemented the dish perfectly. It's not every day you come across a salsa that makes you pause and appreciate its unique blend of ingredients and flavors. This one did just that, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the meal.
Another highlight was the unusual serving of hash browns. Instead of the typical shredded or cubed potatoes, these hash browns were served in a way that was both visually appealing and deliciously different. It's these kinds of creative touches that make a dining experience memorable, and Bubba Gump certainly delivered on that front.
Overall, my breakfast at Bubba Gump was a fantastic surprise, especially considering the location at the Cancun airport. The combination of the thin omelet, the unique salsa, and the creatively served hash browns made for a meal that was not only satisfying but also intriguing. I'd highly recommend stopping by Bubba Gump for anyone looking for a tasty and unconventional...
Read moreThis restaurant has the same menu and great quality of food as their other locations I have been to. Unfortunately I am giving a one star rating due to how I was treated here. I will start by saying I am a 29 year old female. I was seated by a host, ordered a margarita and the sample basket (photo attached). I then took out a laptop in order to do some work. I was approached by the manager asking for me to leave if I wasn’t going to order anything. I stated that I already ordered and was waiting for my items. He stood at my table asking all the staff walking by if I had an order placed. When the fifth employee came out with my drink and placed it on my table, the manager just looked at me and walked away. This was very embarrassing and I would like to warn others not to eat at this particular location for the poor treatment they will receive from the manager here. I feel like he did this due to my age and that is not appropriate. I hope BG corporate headquarters combs through reviews of this location to find if there are more offenses that have occurred at this location. I know this is just the manager here but this does hurt...
