“ I am very glad that for my first time at Bubba Gump Shrimp here in Miami that it ended up being a very pleasant experience. I will say that the reason I'm taking the star off is because it was very hot inside and it seemed as if the air wasn't working and the prices for drinks and food, for what you get is decent but a little too much. But I understand that's what you are paying when you are in downtown Miami. We were seated very quickly, there was four of us. I will say that the seating arrangement that they put us in, we were in literally the corner and thought we would be forgotten about because our table was hidden away in the back. Luckily our server came over rather quickly and got her drink orders and brought over water while we waited. I got the blue Hawaiian which came with a red white and blue Shaker that I could take home with me after I finished my meal. It was a very good drink however it was incredibly sweet and tasted as if there was maybe half an ounce of alcohol in it, for $12 it was refreshing but I would not order more than one. I do like the flavor of the rum and the juices all Blended well together. For my meal I decided to get a cheeseburger cooked medium and when it came out it was more on the medium rare side which I didn't complain about because I like having a little bit of red in my meat. However when I am ordering medium I want to make sure that I'm getting medium and not medium rare. The toppings on the burger are very fresh and the cheese melted perfectly on it as well. The fries on the side were seasoned beautifully and had a perfect crunch with every bite I bit into. Overall the meal was good however at $17 for the burger it is a little steep. Overall a nice little first visit to Bubba Gump and I won't be back if I am in the area and in the mood for burger and fries. Prices are generic for Miami especially when you're in a touristy area and the service was pretty good overall! ”
