Review Big Bubba's Barbeque - Baltimore

With everywhere having a wait, we got on the waitlist. Was told it would be a 45 minute wait. About 10 minutes later we had a table. The host was very pleasant. The waitress Khalin was even better. The food, service, and drinks were good. A little disappointed because we had looked at the menu online and it was a limited menu. The service made up for it though.

Great food, ambience, location, and service! Our server Mercedes was the nicest, most helpful ever. She patiently walked us through the entire menu and was generous with her personal recommendations. The food was served within a reasonable amount of time. Prices are mid-range. If you're a fan of the award-winning film Forrest Gump, check out the restaurant wall for photos of memorable scenes from the movie.

Visited this place while staying in the inner harbor for my birthday. The staff was super friendly. There was not a wait to be seated. The meals were amazing and the dessert was even more delectable and I was so sad I couldn't finish because I was full! They even came and sung me happy birthday and gave me a cupcake :-) I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Maryland! Thank you all

If you don't get the Crab cakes you are missing out BIG TIME! omggg. So fresh and so good. We just got home from our weekend trip to Baltimore and I want to turn around and take the 5 hr drive back just for those cakes. Don't worry about the price bc you won't regret it. I ordered the flounder and rice , the flounder melted in my mouth. Really good. Came with some shrimp I think was Cajun spiced, also amazing. And The tartar sauce.. also amazzzing. It's like a buttery tartar sauce. Definitely the best I've ever had.

Food was ok, service was good. If you like seafood there is a good selection. Fun atmosphere and lots of cool stuff from the movie. Staff was very attentive.

First time in this restaurant, and I absolutely loved it! Such friendly staff and the food was incredible! My s/o and I got fish and chips (which was incredible with the sauce they give) and I got crab stuffed shrimp with jasmine rice. I must say, it was honestly incredibly good and super filling. Would definitely recommend for anyone in the area!

It took them a long time to come give water and take our order, and the person that came wasn't our server. They were all very nice but seemingly low staffed at the moment. The food was good. I'd never been before. Fun decor! Great view of the water and ships. Gift shop, but it was closed.

Nice atmosphere, food was pretty good. Would like more of a selection, buy don't let that stop you from visiting. Drinks are love.

The food was delicious, but my scampi was a little over-cooked and my sister's fries came out cold. The service was great, though, and the waiter made things right quickly. Definitely worth going! I was a little disappointed at the lack of Forrest Gump trivia.

The food here is very good!! This was my first time being here and our waiter was so nice and funny. The atmosphere here is just so fun and entertaining!

It's reservations only. Because of staffing issues its not able to operate as efficiently as possible. But overall service is good and the food was decent enough. There are great views of the inner harbor.

It was my first time there and I ordered the Maker's Mark Bourbon grilled salmon, spinach and rice. The spinach was amazing, the salmon cooked to perfection and the rice was wonderful🤤. The first appearance of the rice was that it would need salt, pepper and butter - lies. It needing NOTHING. So amazing. I also ordered the key lime pie but it was only ok and that's because the slice was incredibly thin.😕

We ordered fish and chips. This is the first time I went there as we visited science museum. The food is fresh and tasty. The decoration looks great too. But it does take awhile for the order to come.

My daughter wanted to celebrate her 16th birthday here. Reluctant to make reservations based on mixed reviews on Google, Yelp, and Open Table, our family decided to go. A couple of things: I recommend calling and making reservations. The restaurant industry is hurting everywhere right now so expect this place to be empty. We went on a Wednesday evening and were the only ones in the entire restaurant at 7pm. They’re on Open Table but for some reason I wasn’t able to book online. Not a big deal. Our family of five enjoyed our appetizers and entrees. Everything was delicious. It came out hot and fresh. Our server was Jonei, and she was super friendly and accommodating. She shared that she’s only been there for a month but you can tell she enjoys working with people. She made my daughter’s birthday very special and added a personal note to her red velvet cake. Jonei may have even been the only server that night but that was a plus for us! She took the time to check on us and took some photos of us afterwards upon our request. She was great. Despite other reviews, I found the restaurant to be clean. We sat at a corner table facing the harbor and the view was very pretty. I did agree with other reviews when it came to friendliness and attention of the hostess staff. When I walked in, there was staff of maybe 3-4 sitting at a table. It took a minute or two for one of them to notice me. One of them looked up and said to another “there’s someone at the front”. The hostess was nice but the welcome could’ve been more inviting and friendly instead of feeling like it was more of an inconvenience that I “interrupted”’their phone time. The rest of the staff at the table continued to focus on their phones. Surprising considering the entire restaurant was empty. They weren’t busy. It takes a lot for me to get upset about the little things so as long as the food was delicious and our server was super friendly, that’s what matters. Shout out to Jonei and the chefs who prepared or dinner on October 13th. Thank you! You all are appreciated. :)

Very fun restaurant in a great location in the Inner Harbour. Service was quick and friendly. The food was good, but nothing to rave about. Still a worthwhile place to visit, especially if you are a Forrest Gump fan!

I went here with my significant other, my best friend and her son. We were told they had a 25-30 minute wait, we were okay with that since we were in the mood to wander. The wait was only 20 minutes! We ordered Crab dip as an appetizer, it was hot and really delicious. Out of ten (ten being the best) we rate it between a 6 & 7. My friend's son got a crazy good slushie, which he rates 8 out of 10 Forrest Gump's. (He says that's a wonderful rating of Gump's) My significant other gave the Mama's fried shrimp a 6, my best friend ordered Jenny's special she wasn't impressed she gave it a 3 due to the taste (too salty) and the spinach was not looking good or tasting good. Her son gave the Shrimp heaven a 7, the coconut shrimp isn't his favorite. I give my dish the accidental fish & shrimp a 7, it was super good but way to much rice. Our server Abby was very attentive and fun, she really made our first experience wonderful. My friend's son says she is "an amazing waitress." The view here is fantastic, I love how it's right on the harbor. The ambience is really chill, diffently a good place to go to get away from the heat and unwind.
