    Seating Area
    Katie K.

    This place is always packed to the gills. I figured it had to be good. We came at a good time, when it wasn't too busy. It was a Tuesday, so it was Taco Tuesday, of course. They have a good selection of beers. The seating is packed, but it's fun and festive. We got the 15 minute wings. I have to say, they were just okay. For the price, I'm not sure they are worth it. The sauce is a little sweet, and no one at my table thought it was as amazing as they claim. Don't get me wrong, they have good crunch and all that, but they end up being almost $3.00 a wing. I got the simmzys burger that's kinda like a smash burger. I didn't love the texture of the meat. I don't know what grind they are using, but it felt like a cheaper grind. It had some bits that were chewy. My husband had the other burger and he thought the same. Didn't love the meat. The fries are thin and you can mix with sweet potato fries which is fun. The tostada was a great deal for the price. I liked the place. I just wasn't blown away. They do a good job. But I've had better wings and burgers. Worth a try. I'd come again and order differently.

    Came here for drinks with my brothers. I had wine, and they tried the Moscow mule, which was a bit disappointing--there wasn't much flavor, and they were expecting more. We only had one drink before leaving. The service was fast, and the ambiance was nice. This place is always busy, but it's still a good spot for a quick bite or a casual stop.

    Stopped in to get out happy hour pizza and to our surprise they do not service it. Very small compared to Long Beach and the happy hour menu had items I didn't fancy. I also noticed this location does not offer full bar. Large open view and surround by many other restaurants. If you're seeking low foot traffic with chill vibes.. this is the place: if you'd like full serviced bar, expanded HR menu and view of 2nd street go to LB!

    World Series action at Simmzy's

    TLDR: Great atmosphere, ocean views and fresh air. Friendly service, mediocre food. Lorraine was a friendly face that greeted us when we walked up to the restaurant when I was busy Wednesday evening. Kids were still running around in Halloween costumes, the Dodgers vs. Blue Jays World Series game was on and there was a really good vibe. The we ordered some wings to get started which were piping hot (temperature-wise) but the flavor was sort of bland. Neither sweet nor spicy. Texture was good, nice crispy outside and moist inside. But there were only six. I ordered the Bacon Blue burger with mixed sweet potato and regular fries. The burger was decent. Good flavor. But I ordered it medium and it came out Medium Well. Not too big of a deal but just a little drier than I preferred. The best part was seeing the beautiful Manhattan Beach sunset in the distance, feeling the crisp (for the area) fall air and enjoying the vibe. Service 8/10 Location 9/10 Food 6.5/10 Would I come back?... absolutely!

    Simmzy's is a fun place. It's also in a fun place that I happened to really enjoy during our trip to California; Manhattan Beach. We happened by and had actually started out with plans on having dinner somewhere different, but we ended up here and it was a nice experience. The edge here is that it has a beachfront brewery vibe to it but in a nice compact space tucked along the side of the main drag headed down towards the water. I also enjoyed the selection of beers that they had available, although it was IPA heavy, although that seems to be everywhere anymore, being nearly impossible to find a nice clean lagered brew of almost any type anywhere. The menu was everything you would expect from a place with a fresh and interesting offering and the staff was fun and upbeat. As you may know by now if you have read any of my other reviews, when the menu has many choices that all sound good, I have a bit of a hard time making a final decision. But the gentleman behind the bar that was helping our table was fully engaged in making our meal a success. The sandwich I had was pretty good although I was jealous of Hayley's poke bowl as it looked really great. Everyone else had nachos as usual and fries. Where Simmzy's really seemed to excel was that they really didn't shine in any one particular way, but they didn't flounder in any way at all either. It's one of those places that just feels good to go to, I feel this would be especially true if you live nearby. Being able to stop in for a lunch or dinner or any small meal in between and have all the common favorites with interesting things thrown in every once in a while. If we happen to have the opportunity to take another trip back to Manhattan Beach in the future, I am positive that we will likely stop at Simmzy's again and I will be looking forward to it.

    The service was great and was impressed by the food will be going back soon. The wings were recommended and was definitely worth the wait.

    The food was delicious. We ordered the garlic seasoned fries, goat cheese salad, 15 minute wings. My favorite was the wings. I could eat two orders by myself! But we shared our wings, salad, and fries. The service was fast, friendly, and attentive. The ambiance was loud and lively. The seating was a bit tight but the service staff and guests navigated the aisles with some close calls with derrières and field of views. But no one seemed to mind. Overall I would definitely return. There are burgers that looked fantastic on nearby tables.

    Baja fish tacos, ahi tostada, salmon sandwich
    Julia T.

    Really nice spot in Manhattan Beach. We street parked which wasn't too hard to get a couple blocks away on a holiday Tuesday. It was taco Tuesday so we got Baja fish tacos which were my favorite thing there. Ahi tostada was also flavorful and crispy. We got the salmon sandwich which they graciously split for us into two plates and the mixed bag fries (sweet lotto and thin crispy potato) were delicious. Nice and attentive service. Pretty small spot but had a nice outdoor patio. Definitely would recommend this place for a good spot in downtown Manhattan Beach!

    Inside seating.
    Travis S.

    Stopped in here for the first time and really enjoyed it! Came in around dinner time, and it was packed. Definitely recommend making a reservation if possible. The inside is very small but a great beach bar vibe! Good music playing and plenty of TVs throughout to catch the game. Our food was delicious! Ordered the California Chicken Sandwich w/ the half garlic fries and half sweet potato fries. So good! We also got an order of the 15 Minute Wings and those were very good and big. Would recommend those for sure! Drink wise, the Beach Cruiser Blonde is fantastic. A very good beer! The only negative of our experience was the space/seating. You're right on top of the other tables, almost uncomfortably. Other than that, very happy we stopped in and would definitely come back again!

    15 Minute Wings

    So the wife and I were craving a new spot last weekend and came across this place on yelp. It was pretty busy but we were able to find a table. It was pretty loud and crowded on a Sunday afternoon but the menu looked good. Our waiter was nice enough to help with beer suggestions. For starters we got the 15 min wings (but worth the wait) for an appetizer and those were nice and crunchy. We also got the sweet and spicy crispy cauliflower appetizer which was delicious. For our entrees we spilt the little gem salad with a piece of salmon. They were nice enough to let us split the plate since we had a big amount of appetizers. We hope to go back and try the burgers and cocktails next time. Salad and salmon were so good I forgot to take a picture.

    Crispy-Crunchy Vegan Bowl

    Simmzy's in Manhattan Beach delivered an excellent dining experience. Perfectly located in downtown near the pier, the restaurant has a lively yet comfortable beachside atmosphere that works well for families and casual dining. The service was fast and efficient, and the entire staff from the manager to our server who was friendly, attentive, and professional. Everything we ordered was well prepared: the kids' grilled cheese with fries was simple and satisfying, the Simmzy's nachos were flavorful and great for sharing, the crispy crunchy vegan salad bowl was fresh and well balanced, and the Lil' Simmzy's burger was juicy and delicious. Overall, great food, excellent service, and a welcoming environment. Highly recommend if you're in Manhattan Beach. we'll definitely be back.

    I picked up my large order, few simmzy's burger well done, but it was all pink inside. Very disappointing, this happened to me before. The tacos, salad, and kids food was OK. I don't think I will go back.

His espresso martini was so delicious! It was my first time trying one and it did not disappoint. My partner and I had the crispy rice with spicy tuna and the shrimp taquitos, while on the pricier side it is definitely worth it. The spicy tuna crispy rice was so rich in flavor, and the crispy rice truly was crispy. The shrimp taquitos were unlike anything i've tried before! I was expecting some classic taquitos filled with shrimp but this place really goes above and beyond with this dish. The shrimps were wrapped (as you can see in the photo) and it was so good!!

The day of the reservation, the host manager called to confirm that we wanted to share the news at dessert, and if there were any other accommodations we needed, which was very sweet. When we arrived at our table, they had a card signed by staff congratulating us, and it was a night to remember. Great food, great service, and the warm hand towels after my dad demolished the baby back ribs were the cherry on top! Our group also ordered the chilean sea bass, salmon, and bistro plate. 10/10. One of our final meals as a family of two was Valentine's Day 2026. It was our first time being seated indoors, and the ambiance was dim and romantic. The meatloaf special was fantastic! Fast forward to June 2026, and we brought our 3-month-old son to his first NIck's meal (unfortunately, he could not partake) and to celebrate my husband's first Father's Day. On this reservation, I put in a request for outdoor seating that gave us enough room to park our stroller and car seat, and they were able to accommodate that. They were also understanding when me and my husband were running a few minutes past our reservation time due to fhe baby, and we appreciated the flexibility. Noise level was moderate, but definitely quieter outside. If you get nothing else from this review, just remember this: ORDER THE WARM BUTTER CAKE. YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT. Thanks for the consistent hospitality and great meals, Nick's!

The Strand House offers good food, goodservice, and amazing views and vibes at reasonable, but upscale prices. We came with my family for an early dinner on a Sunday afternoon. Off the lunch menu we had the Italian panini ($29), which was a surprisingly complex sandwich with mortadella, salami, onions, lettuce, fresh Marzano tomatoes, and many other vegetables. It was served with an exceptional set of fries, which had a great amount of garlic and the perfect blend of crisp on the outside and softness on the inside, along with tangy ketchup. The children got the pasta bolognese ($14), which was a standard bolognese, although the pasta was a little overcooked. We also got a child salmon ($21), a surprisingly generous piece of fish, well cooked with a somewhat crispy exterior and soft interior alongside broccolini and whipped mashed potatoes. The service was decent - our server collected our order, checked on us appropriately, and generally took care of us throughout our visit. As the pictures suggest, the interior is quite upscale, scattered across three floors with a view overlooking the main road and the beach itself. This led to an excellent, breezy atmosphere and spectacular views, perfect for a hot day. Prices are a little on the elevated side, but not excessive, given the highly popular location of this restaurant and excellent views. Overall, The Strand House offers an appropriately upscale lunch or dinner at an elevated price for the discerning customer looking for good food and excellent views with a price to match.

We started with the ceviche in Clamato with pieces of crab and avocado served with a delicious tortilla chips. I absolutely loved the flavor profile and couldn't get enough of the Clamato sauce.

Definitely suited our sensibilities to be close to the heart of this treasure, plus it can get cold out there! When our friendly and helpful server learned that we'd never been to FwD before, we were both treated a tasty amuse, a Peruvian scallop, one of their specialties. Served chilled, absolute heaven. Simple, fresh, delicious, and very pretty atop its shell. We ordered an appetizer, a different scallop dish, Pan Seared Diver Scallops. (Parsnip-potato puree, brown butter ponzu, capers). So good. Succulent, perfectly cooked and devilishly satisfying with its rich, savory flavor. We enjoyed the one dish that have been on their menu since the beginning, Koshihikari Rice. (short-grain Japanese rice, overnight chicken dashi, shrimp, uni, blue crab, cage-free egg yolk.) Wow. So much happening here, and yet it's a complete package. All the ingredients meld together sumptuously. It akin to Paella, or perhaps to a stuffed Risotto, although the Koshihikari Rice was very much its own dish. The server swerved and mixed the egg yolk on our plate, and we loved it. Our strategy to try a number of dishes and yet still have room for dessert worked. Many great choices, and I doubt we'd be disappointed with anything. However, we had heard from the table next to use that the key-lime pie was must. Happily, they were right. This Key Lime Pie is just sweet and just tart enough. Though I am not Key Lime Pie expert, this one struck me as imaginative with its meringue colony crowding the pie's surface for additional dessert debauchery. There nothing overwhelmingly citrusy about it, and it was light enough to help you feel satisfied and just right. The coffee was good, too. This is a low-key yet lovely dining experience in Manhattan Beach.

So I will begin my focusing on what I thought was our servers faux pa. My friend Conrad and I hang out on spin mode, with the cycle never really stopping. So we kind of have an implicit expectation that sometime during our time together we will break bread. But on this ocassion, I had already eaten and he had not. This does not mean that his hunger would be true until we parted ways. We could eat together, even if I was not eating. We were by the joint so we decided to eat there because I wanted to share with him what I have found to be consistently solid and pleasant. While we were there we got a table for two. We informed our server that only Conrad would be eating, since I had already. And he gave a look. Yes, a look that I interpreted as a mix of confusion and judgement- which together makes out of place bewilderment. Why? I can totally see a pair of folks being too embarrassed to go into a restaurant, especially, a nice place like Manhattan Beach Post if only one was eating. Again, I can understand that easily. I mean people are shy and unwilling to insert themselves in situations that are non standard. But then there is other people. The people who wear PJs to the store, who rock hair of a purple shade, and well, others have grown so old that eating with a friend while they are not eating, is not embarrasing, rather just the steps of an unplanned evening. To be more specific, I think the server should have saved his "not even a drink" and proceeding confused face to himself. Conrad and I had valid reasons for entering and not dining as a duo and he should have responded with undersstanding, not just like I had said I was so hungry I could eat bigfoot raw. In short contrast, I offer the host of the place, Crystal. While eating with Conrad I did taste just a wee bit of his four cheese ear shaped pasta- Orichette- and his biscuit. The biscuit is strong but with the maple butter it sings hard, give this buttered biscuit a stage at Madison Square garden or that famous opera house in Sydney. The Orichette was also super good but one of the cheeses had like this chalky taste. It did not taste bad, but also not good, which made me engage with the dish at an analytical way. And personally, when food makes me think, I love it. Crystal heard a version of this dialogue and engaged with me saying that she feels the same way because it makes her feel like a food critic. She also asked me to go when I was hungry. Service like hers makes a place shine. Service like the server gave us makes me question why there was no guard at the door ensuring that both of us had an appetitte. The decor of the place is one that I have seen in the recent the weeks---- brown with live plants. It is lovely. It is both muted and alive. This place has been around for years and will survive my review. And I do plan to go again. And I will make sure to be hungry. I am not sure if I can guarantee that for the person I take but I will try my best.

    Um... wow! Everything was delicious here including (hold on...) the anchovies on the white bean…read morebruschetta!!! Ohhh my... and their lemon meringue pie (while I would say it was more of a key lime pie) was pretty darn good. The Pig & Fig flatbread is a must try! There was no little tiny pieces on there but full-blown chunks of fig! Yum!!!! The prosciutto wrapped melons drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette was so refreshing paired with my G&T! Service was outstanding & the restaurant was extremely accommodating! Great spot to bring a group if in the area.

    My wife and I celebrated our 9 year anniversary yesterday and I decided to take her to Tin Roof. We…read morehad gone there for one of our very first dates and we loved it then and it still holds up now. Made reservations a few days ahead and Gary reached out to see if there was anything he could help accommodate with to make our evening special. That was a very nice gesture. There have been many changes to the place since we've last been and the ambience was very nice outside and in. Could lean fancy or as casual as you'd like. We had the roasted Brussels sprouts, steak frites and the scallops. Everything was amazing! Good quality, cooked well. Steak was exactly medium rare and scallops were cooked to perfection. Word of advice, if you get the Brussel Sprouts, get extra bread to soak up the sauce as you enjoy the sprouts. Can't wait til the next time!
