Kailua-Kona Restaurants : Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, Southern Style

* Address: 75-5776 Alii Dr., Kailua-Kona, HI

* Phone: 808/

The Famous Forrest Gump Movie also has a famous restaurant chain to go along with it.

TV screens all around you play the movie on repeat, and there is a large selection of t-shirts to take home and show your Bubba-Gump pride.

The food is good, although I prefer Keahole Prawns over their shipped-in shrimp any day.

Recommendations:

The "Run Chicken Run" salad boasts a combination of chicken, Gorgonzola cheese, walnuts, and cranberries.

Their Bourbon-Street Mahi-Mahi is savory deep-fried goodness of fresh-island catch fish, served along with crispy hush-puppies containing bits of onion, corn and carrot.

Breakfast is sure to please, also.

Wonderful Ocean-front lanai (porch) dining is available.

Kid friendly, Medium Priced.
