One of my favorite places. Such a delicious menu and the owner is wonderful.

Charming restaurant in Decatur. Our server was nice enough, but I wouldn’t describe him as friendly. The menu is full of meat and seafood; however there is one vegetarian option — mushroom ravioli with veggies. The veggie of the day was broccoli so I was expecting mushroom ravioli with broccoli. Boy was I wrong. My mushroom ravioli was topped with broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, asparagus, and carrots. Even the carnivores at my table commented on how fresh and delicious my plate looked. The mushroom ravioli was just ok, but I would go back for those veggies! I also would recommend the house salad dressing for your salad.

I was so impressed with the quality of food here! We sat at the bar and had Mushroom Caps, I had the Salmon and my boyfriend had the Filet. The salmon was unreal. Seriously — whatever glaze they use on it is so tasty. My boyfriend typically hates filets but made the comment that it was one of the best filets he has had — it was cooked very well. Honestly, I want to go back and eat a billion of their mushroom caps. The melted cheese along with the mystery sauce they use is to die for! I loved the live music and atmosphere at this cute little place. I’ll be back if I’m ever in town!

My wife and I went here for a graduation party. It was both of our first times here and we had high expectations for the food. However we were severely let down. The food was mediocre at best and the service was extremely poor!

Great service, delicious food, good entertainment and atmosphere. There is nothing better to me than to go to a locally owned restaurant and find great quality food. I enjoy supporting local places when I travel and this place is great!

R cotney … It not fine dining. there entrees are the worst looking and tasting(didn’t eat much) ! Dry salty and not worth the price. Does not have steak sauce , that’s fine if you have a well seasond not dryed out piece of meat, be it the pork roast or filet mignon the d let was well done. It looked like a incinerated chunk of meat. Even the grilled asparagus was charred beyond eatable. over service was also very poor. The band sounded good though. not a fine dining place.

Very good food overall and interesting atmosphere. Well worth a five star. But rating had to be adjusted because of the service. To put it in a nice way would be to say it was very uneven. The only area that was right on was filling our water glasses. Our waiter was mostly invisible and when he came by, it was like a flash. Took over 45 minutes to get our soup and salads and overall it certainly did not deserve an 18% gratuity – we were a party of 10.

The food was good… not great. The pie was amazing. The ambience is awesome, beautiful building, great details, wonderful music. The service was aweful. We were seated promptly by the host but it took over 5 mins for our drink orders to be taken(close to 10 minutes). The host chatted at the bar the whole time. At a minimum, he could have taken our drink order. TEAM!!! However the delay in service did not resolved once we were waited on. Decent food. Poor service. Great atmosphere. Would I eat here again? Probably not.

My husband and I worked together at Simp’s when we first started dating 20 years ago. The food is as spectacular as always.

Love eating here. Lots of great dishes. I always order the mushroom caps with every meal. Even though they have a wonderful entre menu, they have a tapas menu as well with the best fish tacos around. Downstairs has a good vibe with local artists and classic old school bar with upstairs feeling a little more upscale. Trust me, You will enjoy this place

Decided to host my husbands 70th birthday party at SIMP’S…it was the best decision I have made in a long time. There were 11 guests and the food could not have been better! Everyone loved their meals(thanks to our waitress, Whitney) the wine was perfect and the setting was all we could have asked for! We have always had wonderful food at this restaurant and it has turned into our favorite dining place in Decatur. Wonderful ambiance, great wine list but the food… simply amazing!!!

I love this gem in the middle of the historic district. We took my daughter and her family here, including my almost 2 year old granddaughter, and it was great. Our server, Andrew, was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. As a seasoned server, he was intimately aware of the menu, made great recommendations and answered questions honestly and thoughtfully. We had a gluten free guest in our group and they were very accommodating. We ordered a variety of appetizers and entrees, including the fish tacos, the oven roasted duck, the pasta Alfredo and my personal favorite of the evening, the bone in pork chop. All were prepared perfectly, not an easy feat for the duck and pork chop, and served promptly and hot. I will continue to visit this great restaurant, a former brothel, back in the day, every time I’m in town and I highly suggest you do, as well.

In the center of the historic district this restaurant and bar fits right in. The food is a little pricey but the quality and selection are outstanding. The $ 5 cup of gumbo was worth every penny and the Crystal Shrimp was a gourmet delight.

Ordered based on recommendations and had the fried green beans which were delicious, as a main course I had the roasted salmon, separately the salmon was deliciously prepared and the spinach in a berry vinaigrette was delicious as well, I didn’t like the combination but that’s just me and individually very good. Service and atmosphere were good, I would highly recommended.

So, I am a business owner and have visited this restaurant several times. Sometimes it can be a little loud. However, the food makes up for all of that. I use this place as an olé stand by when I have a client or two come to town. Last night was no exception. The service was great, the food was extremely good and we left very happy. We had apps, salads, entrees & drinks. The only problem was we had no room for dessert. Nice portions, very tasty and quite reasonable. I’ll be back!

Service was good… but they have changed the menu. They no longer have my favorite pork medallions(which were excellent). I opted for the Tapas menu steak medallion. It was very tender and cooked exactly the way I ordered it. But I didn’t enjoy Simp’s as much as I have in the past. I would say it was no better than a chain restaurant. Probably won’t make a point to return.

Worst steak I ever had tuff as shoe leather. This place has no idea how to cook steak. No one ever ask how my half eaten steak was… Really save you money. Go fast food. It’s all over Alabama… lol

My first experience at Simp Mcghees was during third Friday downtown. The atmosphere there is great with the location inside of an old downtown building and a big beautiful bar downstairs. They have outdoor seating as well as two stories of seating indoors. We ate inside on the second story with a view of Bank Street down below. The only thing I think that could make the décor better would be if they removed the white paper that they use over the top of the tablecloths. I understand it makes cleanup simple and practical, but it really cheapens the look of the table setting. I started with the drink special for the night– Peach Bourbon Sweet Tea. It was so good! It was just the right amount of peach flavored and not overly sweet. My husband, Cody, and I shared the crawfish egg roll appetizer and I had a house salad while he had a bowl of gumbo. The crawfish egg rolls were fantastic and came with a sweet Asian dipping sauce. They were crispy and had that traditional egg roll taste with the surprise flavor of crawfish. I was very impressed with this creative dish. The house salad was good, but Cody’s gumbo left a little to be desired. It wasn’t very flavorful and just didn’t have the punch that good traditional gumbo has. Even our waitress admitted that true gumbo lovers find the dish a little bland. The menu had a lot of great choices for the main course, but Cody and I both settled on shrimp pasta dishes. I had the«Shrimp Garcia» which the menu describes as «gulf shrimp in roasted garlic cream sauce with fresh tomato and basil over penne pasta.» This was the perfect creamy pasta dish. The pasta was cooked perfectly, not too firm, and that cream sauce was to die for! I was really impressed with this dish and its fantastic flavor! Cody got the«Shrimp Ridgeway» which is «gulf shrimp, smoked sausage, caramelized onions in four cheese cream sauce over penne pasta.» Cody really enjoyed it and loved the Cajun-style pasta flavor. I had a bite and the sauce had a little too much of the sausage flavor for me, but I’m not a big smoked sausage eater to begin with. After those filling pasta dishes, Cody and I were STUFFED! But of course there is always room for dessert. :) We decided to share the derby pie and I’m so glad we did. I have never had derby pie before and it was amazing! This traditional dessert is a chocolate walnut pie that has a consistency similar to a brownie. It was perfectly crispy and went great with the vanilla ice cream drizzled with caramel and chocolate sauce. This dessert is truly heavenly and I can’t wait to go back and have it again!
