The Future of Bubba Gump's

[JoeCamel]

Amended NoC for BG's sign - is this the end or the beginning. If they are installing a new sign from Jones Sign Company then are the rumors of BG leaving premature?

Oh come on! Bubba Gump’s a really good restaurant!

Hopefully they’ll put in an arcade or barcade with games and pinballs in good condition.

Were there rumors of BG leaving?

Were there rumors of BG leaving?

There has been speculation for a while, and it heated up after Emeril's Orlando announced their closing.

Oh?

If Bubba Gump’s leaves CityWalk, I definitely see it popping up elsewhere in Orlando. It makes more sense on I-Drive to me.

I never saw any actual rumors about it leaving, just typical speculation-becoming-rumor talk. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the busiest restaurant in CityWalk. It probably has the most prime spot in the whole complex. I wouldn't be surprised if it was one of Bubba Gump's busiest locations, it's their largest restaurant, or at least it used to be.

 

[Imperius]

I mean it sits low on the scale of sit down restaurants in City Walk at this point.

Alene & I were just commenting during this trip that we haven't eaten there for a few years, and we were going to make a point to stop there during our December trip. Looking like it just might not be there when we go back.

I'd be amazed if it's not there. If they're putting in a new sign, it's not going anywhere

The sign that hung on the wall over mini-golf has been gone for several months. Maybe this is its replacement?

 

[Scott W.]

Bring back Motown Cafe!

Hope you're right. BG is a nice menu alternative. It's just that there's so many decent interesting restaurants in Citi Walk now, that there's only enough time to do a few each vacation.

Interesting you say that. I always assumed that it was a really empty restaurant because it was off from the main stretch of CityWalk

To people still eat at this place, it just seems so 90s to me. Like people that still eat at TGI Fridays.

 

[GAcoaster]

Bring back Motown Cafe!

 

[Galaxy Defender]

If you are going to have a restaurant based upon a movie in CityWalk wouldn't it make more sense to have it based on a Universal movie?

 

[Disneyhead]

I think they should turn it into an All Day Character Buffet. Call it something clever like "M&G Buffeteria".

Yeah I noticed that was missing after the hurricane. Not sure if it was related to damage from the hurricane or not, but that’s when I noticed.

If they’re doing work on the sign that would seem to me to indicate BG’s is staying. Otherwise they wouldn’t mess with the sign until a new concept was in development. If they’re spending money to replace the sign then it seems it would be safe for the foreseeable future.
