My granddaughter and I ate here for lunch on last Tuesday while we were attending a youth…read moreconference at Harrah's in Atlanta city. It was some of THEE BEST soul food I have had in a long time. Too bad I forgot to take pics of the food. I ordered fried Cajun catfish, potato salad and collard greens. The Cajun catfish and potato salad are to die for, you hear me???? The collard greens were okay but were not seasoned the way I would have liked. Also, they don't serve bread with their meals. Would have loved a piece of white bread or cornbread. My 14 year old granddaughter ordered fried chicken wings and was sucking the bones. She also ordered the Mac n Cheese which she said was to die for! She, too, felt the collard greens were okay but nothing to write home about. Neither of us ate our greens. We wanted to order sweet iced tea which is usually a staple in most soul food restaurants but at 2:30pm they had already run out. Also, we wanted to eat in the dining room but they said the dining room closes at 2:00pm :-( so we got our food to go and ate in the car. Mind you, it was about 90 degrees outside but we turned the air conditioning on in the car and enjoyed our lunch. Too bad I discovered this place on the day before I left the conference because otherwise I would have been eating here everyday of the conference.

I went in and was excited to order, but found out they had a large order that they were filling and there were only two or three items on the menu that were left as everything else was going to fulfill the very large order. So I was excited when I heard that oxtail was still on the menu and since I also love, collard greens and sweet potatoes, I was in good shape. Everything was very good and hot. The service despite the fact that options were limited on this day. was still very good. The restaurant is in a bit of an untraditional space. But they make it work. I would definitely recommend and we'll go back and try this place again.

Holy crap. I was not expecting to be blown away at an Atlantic City soul food spot. This order is…read moreso good, I'm writing this review as I eat. Ordered from Grub hub and delivery was quick with great communication. I am a picky soul food eater so there first thing I tasted upon opening this take out was the collard greens. On first glance, I was sure that this would be homemade and not "out the can". As expected, it was savory with chunks of turkey meat. A+ Lemon Pepper wings was equally savory. I asked for extra lemon pepper which did make it slightly salty. However, the wings were whole lightly fried And not greasy. A Now everything can't be marvelous. The potatoes salad was just ok, it complimented and balanced the party in my mouth , although it seemed that it was missing something.... B Prices was reasonable and far less than rivalry limited soul food AC spots. I dare not eat this entire plate... It's early afternoon and I foresee this is nap producing...

Simpson Restaurant Atlantic City - Good Food, Good Vibes... and a Side of Tea…read more Food Quality & Taste Let's start with the star of the show--the wings. Baby...they were seasoned just right. Not bland, not doing the most--just a perfect balance that even my hard-to-please husband had to nod in approval. Now that says a lot. Hubby also tried the brown stew fish with rice and veggies...and yeah, he wasn't impressed. To be fair, he doesn't impress easily, so take that with a grain of salt (he's a spice guy, so that may have won him over). I had the pasta, and I'll keep it real--it was simple. BUT once I borrowed (okay, took) some of hubby's veggies and mixed them in, it leveled up real quick. Round two, the next day? Much better. Hubby ran it back with wings and tried the curry goat--and this time, full approval. If we go back, we will try the oxtails. Value for the Price First visit: near $120 (not including tip) for 1 appetizer, 2 drinks, and 2 entrees. And listen--if we had added oxtails? Easily pushing $150. Second visit (wings + curry goat): just over $50, which, for AC, I guess that's about right. So the value really depends on what you order. Choose wisely, my friends. Cleanliness No issues here. The space felt clean and comfortable--no side-eyes needed. Customer Service The hostesses set the tone--very warm and welcoming, which I love. The waiter? He was nice, just a solid, nice. No complaints. Wait Time & Convenience Everything moved at a good pace. No long waits or confusion. It's giving smooth operation, especially for a busy Atlantic City spot. Presentation & Atmosphere It has a sports bar feel--on the darker side, but they do provide table lighting so you're not out here guessing what you're ordering. Now let's talk atmosphere...because baby, it was lively. Lots of birthday celebrations, music, and energy. The table next to us? Loud enough for me to learn way too much about their personal lives. I now know who's dodging child support and who's dating Benjamin Button So yes, it's a vibe--but not a quiet one. Red Flags or Warnings It can get loud, so don't come expecting an intimate whisper-over-dinner moment. Some dishes are hit or miss--stick with what works (wings and curry goat, oxtail are safe bets). Now I do have questions...why are the fruit slices in the drinks paper-thin? Either someone was showing off their knife skills, and we got the remnants or the mandolin was working overtime. Maybe the fruit budget is under review because those slices were darn near see-through. Overall: Simpson Restaurant has good energy, strong wings, and a fun, lively atmosphere--perfect if you don't mind a little noise and a lot of personality around you. Just be mindful of what you order, because everything doesn't hit the same. My stamp on this place is... "Queens' Quest"

Immediately, Taste Buds was recommended on DoorDash once I opened the app. The ratings on DoorDash, Yelp & Google said that this spot was worth the try -- and yes it was! It was worth the zillion fees DoorDash tags on your food orders (not the business' fault). Let me get to the good part. I ordered saucy shrimp with 2 sides ( candied yams, mac & cheese & cornbread) and dessert (oreo pudding). I don't think what I ordered; which was "saucy shrimp" and "oreo pudding" was available. They sent me what looks like fried shrimp, candied yams, cornbread, banana pudding and beautiful mac & cheese. Everything was fresh, cooked with LOVE and overall AMAZING! The portion size was large.

Would definitely dine-in next time and I believe the owner gave us some samples of a crab mac that tasted great. Ordered the Bayou Boil and the fish and chips and they gave us utensils, plenty of napkins, a bib and some gloves which was great. Fish and chips were solid but the boil was truly some of the best my wife and I have ever had. Huge portions and lots of crab legs, crawfish among others. Don't really write reviews but wanted to alleviate some concerns if potential diners had any. Would highly highly recommend this place!

While one co-worker and I waited for the other two to show, we decided to order one slider each. Sat down and a young woman greeted us and immediately let us know that food is made to order so it will be a wait. No problem...or so I thought. The rest of our party shows up a few minutes later and we place our orders. Nothing major; chicken, fish and sides. It took about an hour and 45 minutes for our food to come out. And no, they were not busy. There were two women eating and a family of four that came in well after us. That's it. The food itself was okay. I enjoyed the fish more than the chicken. Didn't care for the cornbread. Mac & cheese tasted like it had garlic powder in it. Not my favorite. Oh and the sliders? After an HOUR & FIFTEEN minutes, we still didn't have the sliders. When the young lady finally came to the table, she only had one. In what world does a small piece of chicken and fish take that long? I told her I no longer wanted it or the other one. I understand things being made to order but that is WAY too long for chicken and fish. At the max, 30 minutes. I'd even excuse 45 minutes if it was packed. The sides should already be done so not sure what the holdup was.
