Such a knackered institution. But its a great resource to have near by. Great options, very fast service, great prices and good g Food. It has its quirks, the parking is a disaster. Double parking and people making radical unexpected U turns to got to it. I wish the city and the owner would invest in fixing up this place, especially with the arrival of the Blue Hill Ave commuter rail stop. The neon ice cream cone on the roof is such a delapidate mess, its such a shame read more

Simco's on the bridge has the best take out seafood. My fiance and I always buy the seafood platter. My mother loves their fish sandwiches. It is piled with mouth-watering fish. The milk shakes are thck and smooth. I can not finish a whole shake. Simco's food selection has expanded. I drove 5 people to Simco's last week and they all ordered a seafood selection. It is worth the trip. Em C, you are right because I always get hit on when I go to Simco's. read more

The best traditional hot dog you can get anywhere. Nothing fancy or gimmicky, unless you count the fact that it's "foot-long". One huge factor separating this from other dogs the bun. They don't simply toast the bun, the bun is buttered before being lightly pressed on the same grill as the dogs, so it's got small traces of grilled dog char on the golden-brown toasted surface. The dog itself tastes exactly like a hot dog should, real hot dog flavor, with just the right amount of charring and texture, the right snap to each bite. You will always wait about one minute for it, because they always make sure you get it hot off the grill, and I mean hot. Not warm, but very hot, like be careful about taking a big bite too quick. They put the condiments on for you, and they somehow get it perfect almost every time. I've been here many times over the years, and I did get one poor hot dog here months ago. I've been back several times since (they were on three star probation for a little while) and it now appears that all is well. I usually get the hot dog, but I've had the onion rings several times, they're great, my kids have ordered the burgers and fries, those are good, and I ordered the fried clams once on an impulse and was very pleasantly surprised at how good they were. I love fried clams and not-so-good clams anger me. These made me very happy. Speed Dog's in Newmarket Sq is the overall best dog in Boston, but they are in a different class, very fancy, four times the size of a normal dog, soaked in cider before grilling, and much higher priced. One of those dogs is $8, you can get a dog, onion rings and drink here at Simco's for about $6. Both places have the perfect hot dog in their own class. You have to try both places read more

Best hot dogs in town ! Foot long, all beef, perfectly toasted, everytime. 2 for $10 with 16 oz bottle of soda. read more

Awesome hotdog stand. I get two chili cheese dogs and one with mustard and kraut and mix it with a rasberry lime ricky. All the reviews here are legit. Walk up window, cash, no seating. Eat in your car. White people, don't be afraid of Mattapan. read more

Why is the fish and chips on the recommended list? Mine came unseasoned and tasteless. Had a shitty day tbh, and that fish&chips made it worse. Is the quality better during certain periods of the day or something? I love fish and chips, and thats probably the worst fish and chips ever given to me. read more

Literally had to download this app JUST for this because talking them wasn't getting anywhere. I ordered through Uber and never got a driver after 30 minutes so I called asked if I can pick it up one lady said yes. I another lady at the Uber window wants to give attitude because I came to get my food when I clearly showed her I don't have a driver.Regardless my food is paid for!!! Security had to get my food. Now I'm speaking with the First Lady and she really said "well there are a lot of orders coming in" so wait.....because you have tons of orders coming in that gives you the right to disrespect and slam your window shut in a paying customers face?? Is that what I'm hearing oh ok. I'm only one person but y'all lost me for good. read more

Hot dog nicely done, with a little bit of snap when you bite into it. Meat has some spicing, not extraordinary. Chocolate shake average, not terribly chocolatey. Onion rings with very light coating, not greasy. However, strangely sweet and bland. Be prepared to add ketchup, pepper, hot sauce, paprika, garlic, whatever. read more

If your feeling adventurous, here's another great little gem in tha hood. you know the food is good when you have a crack-head running down the middle of the street eat his food and not dropping anything! seriously the food is great! read more

See all

This is the only place I've had a remarkable hot dog in Boston, and that's really saying something because for a while, I really searched around for exceptional dogs. In New Jersey, where every other town has a hot dog place that takes seriously its claims to be a local legend, hot dogs are often grilled to within an inch of their life, and best of all plunged into hot oil until they split. Simco's grills their similarly -- the outside leathery and red, the inside bursting with juicy flavor. Best of all, they're a foot long, and they don't waste your time with an overwhelming amount of bread. They're Jersey-worthy dogs, a rarity in this town. Really, hot dogs are a delicacy and need to be treated as such. If you're going to enjoy one properly, it's worth taking the trip out to Mattapan and have one at Simco's today. read more

I wish I could give a negative star! I paid $33 for a Super Fisherman Platter with onion rings no fries and clams with the bellies... Y would u put clams with the bellies at the bottom so they can absorb all the grease from all the fish, scallops, onion rings and shrimp. I called and spoke to someone and the man asked me to bring it back and he would give me a new one. Now I try not to believe the stereotype that just because were in the hood we can't have anything good but to pay $33 and when I get my remake it's just a regular fisherman platter with fries but u put my clams on the side... NEVER WILL I EVER GIVE THEM ANOTHER DOLLAR IN MY LIFE!! TERRIBLE SERVICE AND BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION AND ITS NOTHING BETTER AROUND PPL WILL CONTINUE TO PURCHASE SO DIRTY ASS SIMCOS WILL CONTINUE TO GET OVER! HORRIBLE!! read more

Truth be told, I'm a Hot Dog Head and I don't care who knows it! Simco's without question is in the upper echelon of hot dog joints in the city, serving probably the biggest dogs around. Not to mention they toast and butter my buns. Ooh lah lah. The workers are friendly and efficient, which is choice especially if it's cold out. The onion rings are crunchy and fresh, just be sure to have a breath mint after indulging. Make that two. The area may be a little sketch-tastic for most, but I like to think it's misunderstood. Walk-up service only. No seating areas or public restrooms, which is also a bit of a drawback, but PERFECT for 'drive bys' as in grab n' go, not so much the gun part (but in all honesty, maybe). Hot dog head forever homes! Word to your Moms. *BeanTowns_Finest* read more

Fat G. coming in with a review about Simco's, a place I decided to go to in preparation for another event. Across the street form Jubilee Christian Church, I heard that this place was famous and checked it out for a snack. The place reminds me of Nathan's in NYC or one of those boardwalk places on the beach. Simco's is located on a busy main street, but is reachable by the 28 bus. Anyways, their menu was pretty standard. They had the typical fried food stuff - hot dog, pizzas, subs, etc and have their own specials as well. I ordered the Hot Dog basket, which came out to $7 and comes with your choice of onion rings or fries. It's a thinner, but longer hot dog. It was cooked longer and tastes better than ones you get at the market, but not by much more. The bun was buttery and the fries were ok. Service was pretty quick. The only thing I didn't like was that there wasn't a seating area and that it was cash only. The nearest ATMs are a block or two away, depending on your bank. I'd probably go there again if I were in the mood for that beach food feel. Recommended for: boardwalk feel, fried foods. read more

I grew up in Mattapan and was really psyched to visit Simco's after a 40 year hiatus. Simco's is known for its foot long all beef hot dogs. The hot dog was perfectly cooked on the grill and kudos to the buttered bun. The hot dog was just a little too salty but that is a small price to pay for a perfectly cooked dog. The onion rings were also perfectly cooked in a corn meal batter. They were a little under salted , but that was easily corrected. Skip the Rasberry Lime Rickey : it was made with a (gasp!) Sprite base as opposed to a soda water base and we had to send it back as way too sweet. I then ordered a mocha frappe: it too was sweet and had a Hershey's chocolate taste and too little coffee flavor. Nevertheless I was glad to visit this childhood icon . Don't expect a view, table seating or much ambience . DO expect a perfectly cooked hot dog and the opportunity to support a local institution that has been around for over 50 years. If I could I would score it As a 3.5: Points off for the beverages. read more

Hot dogs, seafood, beverages, burgers, the list goes on. This place is exactly what you need after a late night out, or just for a meal. The strawberry milkshake was delicious, such a shame I couldn't finish it because of the other food I ordered. I had the hot dog and fried shrimp/clams plate. All of it was good. I love simple places that don't try to hard, just keep it the way it is. One day i will try everything on the menu. read more

Simco's - Hot Dogs Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Just so good. Chili cheese fries are on point every single time, good looks to those guys. Hotdogs to die for and a reliable slice of pizza.

Everything I ate was inedible ! The food taste like it was made last night and they just re fried it today. Can't believe this because the food use to be great back in the day. Not sure what happened. read more

Sweet extra long hotdog on a grilled buttery bun. Yum!! This place is in Mattapan, but close enough to the Milton line that you can get in and out in a short time. It's on street parking only and everything is ordered through a walk up takeout window. If your a Twinkie lover or just a fat bastard they have deep fried twinkies to order. read more

Quintessential throwback boardwalk diner food. If you're after a hot dog that's way too big, giant greasy double cheeseburgers or fried twinkies, this is your spot. It's a curbside restaurant with a vintage aesthetic, walk up windows and a huge neon sign. They're open late and they have everything to satisfy your late night munchies. The extra long all beef hotdogs had the perfect texture and flavor and were topped generously with "everything". The double cheeseburger was bigger than my whole hand and it was the best cheeseburger I've had in a long time. When you went bigger than life portions of your favorite classic all-American comfort food, this is where you want to be. read more

I thinks this place is the TOPS! I grew up right around the corner from them so I might be a little biased but ...F' it ...I love this place. I even sold two paintings of this little gem...I should've given them a chance to see them before I hawked them but ...I needed the money...whatcha gonna do. Great hotdogs...great Steak and Cheeses (probably the only spot in Boston that makes a decent one (Besides Stashes on Blue Hill and Columbia Road) and friendly service. Love that freakin' place PEACE to my NIECE with HAIR GREASE! read more

Ordered the chicken tenders, small fries and buffalo wings for some late night cravings. The tenders were definitely homemade and not frozen :) the food was just a bit soggy but other than that good! read more

I gave this place 3 stars because the food was really good but......I got food poisoning! My husband and I couldn't find a decent place that was open late so we agreed on Simco's. Surprisingly, it was my first time here even though I heard so much about it while living in Boston. Simco's is located on a small bridge in Mattapan. It's a very busy place but the workers are pretty quick. They are famous for their hot dogs but I didn't think to order one. I got a steak and cheese sub which tasted like perfection expect the bread was toasted too much. Their menu was the typical pizza store menu. Prices were average and they only accept cash. The next day my husband and I both felt sick. He had a pizza and thought it tasted good until we got sick. I'm back and forth about trying this place again, at least to try the hot dogs. Boy, how I miss the Sausage Guy . read more

Quality ingredients, great portion size, fairly priced. Excellent hot dogs, Italian subs, fried fish.

Right from the first bite this was so good! I'm definitely ordering from Simco's again.

Very rude customer service especially late night hours. Very rude. Everyone who picks up the phone including management. Stop buying from these people who disrespect us. read more

They got horrible customer service. Do not come here if you get uber eats cause they will mess up every time. And blame uber eats. The Indian lady rude and disrespectful read more

Let me just say growing up in Boston, you HAD to have had simcos. Of course like everyone else, I thought it was delicious. Especially the seafood, pizzas and calzones. Well guess what. I'll never order from here again EVER. The last time I ordered (a few days ago) The guy answered with an attitude and when I received my order not only was my food cold (least of my worries) I also purchased a drink (red plum Nantucket). The drink was not only already opened, it has some type of bodily fluid inside. It didn't look like spit, it honestly looked like male ejaculation!!!! I kid you not. True story. I'm not 100% but I can't say it looks like anything other. I wish I took a picture but my boyfriend threw it out before I thought of it. Prior to that I called them back and complained ... all they say was to bring it back and they'll give me a new one or my money back. Sadly, NEVER AGAIN! read more

This spot is the truth! If you go, order the chili cheese dogs. The only reason I'm giving the four stars instead of five is that it's pricey as all get out. The aforementioned is about $5. read more

Order the Haddock plate regularly on Fridays around noon. Whoever cooks it does a fantastic job. Cooked just right; I get the rice with it sometimes but either the rice or french fries are good. Highly recommend! They are nice when you call in always. Haven't gotten a rude person ever there. read more

This place is what grow up on. I want them to keep holding the city with good old school cooking and stay in the neighborhood.

Good Food. I just think it can get a bit pricey. But other then that good food, good people and great hours for people who get out late.

For hot dogs, yes, this is as good as it gets. Simco's by the bridge has been a Mattapan icon probably from at least the 1940's. This is a very old establishment and the hot dogs have not changed a bit. These hot dogs are specially made just for this restaurant as they always have been. you cannot buy them in a store. The rolls are buttered and grilled just like the old days. No seating, you eat outside standing up. There is a wide window ledge you can use if you wish. These hot dogs have been served here for about 75 years so one would imagine they must be somewhat exceptional, and they are. Check out Simco's for a walk down memory lane and a taste of Americana. read more

Best Fried clams with belly ever!! They were big and juicy and so were the scallops. I am going to be dreaming about those for some time to come. This place is not in a very nice area of the city but I felt fine and I would have gone into Iraq's war zone for these babies so no biggie.They only take cash so keep that in mind. Also, this is not a eat in place. You literally walk up to a window, place your order and that is it. Highly recommended! read more

The prices have gone up considerably since I used to come here as a child compared to other local favorites.seafood is not bad though!

Best hotdog you will find in Boston and a piece of history to go with it. Pull up right in front at the convenient 15 minute parking curbside go up to the window and grab your dog. read more

Grew up around the corner from this location and man I can't believe it's taken me so long to write a review. I grew up when Simco's had the dark kitchen and sold the sour dill pickles from the jar. Could't believe it when the fire happen and then it took a couple but it came better than ever. Having a foot long dog is a blast back to my childhood every time. The dogs are always cooked to perfection and paired with a lime Rickey you're good to go. Moved to Dorchester awhile ago but I know that whenever I want a hot dog it's a 7.25 min drive away. read more

Food is very good but prices are a little up there so you may or may not think it is worth the money for a takeout place. Also don't forget they are CASH ONLY! read more

Simco's by the Bridge - the best hot dogs ever! been going there for years ever since my mother used to stop there and get us lollipops on the way to houghtons pond. and believe me that was a very long time ago. anytime i am in the area i will stop there and get a hot dog. you just park in front and walk up to the window to order and then eat in your car or take with you read more

Classic hot dog walk up joint. The longer-then-the-bun dogs are simply outstanding. In fact the last time I went to the once fine event known as the Hot Dog Safari I simply kept returning to the Simcos line because they were sooooo awesome. The location may not be convenient for everyone but it's worth a trip to try the hot dogs. I've never tried anything else so I can't comment on it read more

We always order the Fisherman's platter with clam stripes, fries on the side and extra tartar sauce (they have the best tartar sauce I have ever tasted.) One of my favorite places to eat seafood and it tastes fresh year round. I also love the Oreo milkshakes - though I do put mine in the freezer for a little bit because I mine to be a bit thicker. read more
