Inspired by the Tom Hanks megahit Forrest Gump, the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. likens life not to a box of chocolates, but rather to a bucket o' shrimp. Located right on the water, this place offers lots of affordable, oddly named shrimp specials. For starters, try the Run Across America Sampler, which includes Bubba's Far Out Dip and Chips, New Orleans Peel n' Eat Shrimp, Texas Wild Wings, and Alabama Fried Shrimp for only $12.99. The Bubba's After the Storm Bucket of Boat Trash will trash your arteries with a deep-fried, albeit tasty, mix of shrimp, slipper lobster, and mahimahi. Lt. Dan's Drunken Shrimp is a delicious concoction of shrimp in bourbon sauce with spicy sausage and garlic mashed potatoes. A number of shrimpless salads and sandwiches are also on the menu. It's a fun place to bring the kids on a sunny afternoon. If you haven't stuffed yourself on shrimp, you may want to try the overly caloric Jenny's Strawberry Dream--pound cake layered with vanilla ice cream, surrounded by Jenny's "special sauce," and topped with fresh strawberry purée and whipped cream.

Main courses $8-$18.Open: Sun-Thurs 11am-11pm, Fri-Sat 11am-midnight.Closed Thanksgiving and Dec 25.Credit Cards: AE, DC, DISC, MC, V.
