The Scene
The 12,000-foot franchise, with its countrified, distressed-wood bar, framed "Gump"-isms and stellar view of Times Square from its tourist-trafficked tables upstairs, is chock-full of movie memorabilia. Framed still images from the film line the walls, and Depression-era props perch on shelves. Smiling servers quiz diners with movie trivia, but forget to fill their water glasses.

The Food
Popcorn shrimp, peel-and-eat shrimp, shrimp po' boys--practically every Southern-style preparation Bubba ever conceived is available here, in huge portions for not much money. Kids will love the "Bucket of Boat Trash": crisp-fried, mild mahi and golden shrimp, spicy hush puppies and extra-long fries in an aluminum pail. Grown-ups should try oversized coconut-fried shrimp with sweet-tangy citrus marmalade, or ultra-fresh peel-and-eat shrimp boiled in beer. But stick with crustaceans: Fried chicken arrives dry, ribs lack flavor and clam chowder tastes very little like clam.
