It is a fantastic place. I loved the Forrest Gump inspired decor and the view on the sea. Do not forget to take a pic on the Forrest Gump bunch and be in his shoes! A must in the pier 39. Food is fab

Shrimpers' heaven literally .. Go only for shrimp .. Great starters .. Popcorn shrimp is quite good .. Average Mac and cheese .. Crowded but it's worth waiting for ..

I am very excited I found this place. The vibe inside is upbeat and fun. Probably some of the best customer service I've received at restaurant.

This place is a heaven for sea fast food. You can't go wrong with the menu, close your eyes and pick anything you like. Solid coctails. However, your experience totally depends on your waiter!

Nice place, gets some sort of nostalgia because of the Forrest Gump movie... delicious food! But adjust your budget, it’s gonna cost you some bucks.

Fairly typical seafood joint. If you like the movie "Forrest Gump", this is the seafood restaurant for you. They have the movie playing throughout the restaurant and the staff will play trivia w/you.

Awesome food! I'm not too much of a shellfish kind of person, but this place lives up to its hype. Try to get a seat next to the windows for an amazing view of the bay

Legendary place, specially for Forrest Gump fans. Of course, you need to try shrimps, they are yummy and not expensive.

Great spot with amazing view near the window. Seafood is good.

It's busier for lunch than dinner. Go at about 5 on and you'll have a very short wait.
