We went on Father’s Day and they did a whole celebration around that with a DJ, decorations, etc. so we don’t know what it’s like on a typical day but we had a great time. It was an older crowd like 35+ which was actually really nice. The DJ was on point with the vibes, the drinks were strong and yummy, and the food was delicious. We plan to go back and try more on the menu! The prices are also reasonable. We had 4 drinks total, 1 appetizer, and 2 entrees for $157.

It took way too long for the waiter Khalief to come to the table and acknowledge us... then it appeared he had an attitude he didn't even introduce himself I had to ask him what his name was... however the ambience of this place is amazing and that alone makes me want to come back next time I visit AC

We had such an amazing experience at Simpsons. The food arrived quickly and was absolutely delicious. Our server was friendly and accommodating, moving us to a larger booth so that we could be more comfortable. The drinks were on point and the vibes were vibing. We will definitely come back!

Located in a previously abandoned seaside mall, this restaurant is the second location of the Jamaican chain, the first being at 673 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217. Despite service being a little slow, the food -- braised oxtail with brown rice and vegetables for her, curried goat stew with white rice and vegetables for me, sharing a macaroni and cheese appetizer -- was perfectly cooked and delicious. I had a chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream and a cherry with hot fudge for dessert. This place should be packed every night, and here's hoping that they maintain the excellent quality.

We waited over 2 hours for our food. Our waiter did not come back to see if we needed more water, drinks etc. until we complained to the hostess. I ordered the stewed snapper and rice/peas. They brought me white rice without and explanation. I was not told they were out of rice/peas. I haven’t eaten white rice in decades. Waiter blamed the slow food roll out with the kitchen but her service was bad too. We understand she doesn’t control the kitchen but her coming to explain what was going on would have been a little helpful although waiting for food over 2 hours is unacceptable. Plus, should not get an attitude with us. Communication is the key! The fish was good although it looked like brown stew in the photo; it was red bass when it came out. Everything else gets poor rating.

Sooooo I had to give this location another try after I went October, 2024 and go to the Brooklyn one often and I am glad I did. Much better and nowwwww tastes like Brooklyn! Also Chef was there and it was good to see him (also saw him 3 weeks ago in Brooklyn) so it is good to know that he is frequent at both locations. I always get the oxtails w/rice and peas and veggies and my daughter had the jerk shrimp w/rice and peas and veggies and they were both top tier. The brooklyn drink was also a strong hit! :-) Will be back .. to both locations of course
