Simpson Restaurant & Bar was an amazing experience. The Jamaican food was divine. The oxtail was tender and fall-off-the-bone delicious, and the rice and peas were so flavorful they could stand on their own. The BBQ vegetarian chicken was also a hit.
The Bob Marley drink was yummy, and the Jamaican Black brought back childhood memories of Jamaica. The restaurant itself is beautiful, very sophisticated decor with a nod to island culture, great photos, and music that sets the vibe without being too loud.
A wonderful place for authentic Jamaican flavors. Highly recommend!

My family had an amazing time at this lovely restaurant. Authentic Jamaican flavors flowed through every dish, our portions were appropriately large for the price and hot at service. Each server was wonderful including Jameer our friendly star of a server, Demetrius the bar back and server, Savannah the Manager that checked on our experience midmeal and Aneesah the hostess who took our picture. The other guests for the night were having a great time as well so it was great energy. I didn’t get pictures of our drinks but we got virgin strawberry daiquiri and Pina colada type drinks. They were cold, delicious, and tasted like the natural raw sweet fruit. We will definitely be eating there again. Shout out to Chef Simpson for making an awesome experience of a restaurant here in Atlantic City. More blessings to you and your family.

While in Atlantic City for the day, we randomly ran into this Jamaican/Soul food spot and let me tell you the restaurant is a whole vibe! The old-school music playing the entire time was such a nice touch. There’s nothing better than jamming while you’re eating!
Now let’s talk about the confusing part… the menu situation. There’s a menu placed on the tables with a QR code (see picture), and there are also printed menus. Naturally, we scanned the QR code only to realize it was the menu for their New York location. Every item I asked about, the waitress just looked at me confused. She finally looked at my phone and said, “Oh, that’s our N.Y. restaurant.”
So you’re telling me you place a menu on the table that you don’t even serve from?? Bizarre. Note to self: do NOT scan the QR code menu on the table!
Now onto the good stuff
My fiancé ordered a Bob Marley drink it looked amazing, and you could definitely smell the alcohol from it!
We started with the spring rolls nice crispy outer layer with a yummy dipping sauce.
He ordered the oxtail with mac and cheese and completely devoured his plate. He said everything was seasoned perfectly.
I ordered the jerk chicken with rice & peas and seasoned veggies. The jerk chicken was to DIE for so moist, flavorful, and it came with a side sauce that had the perfect little kick at the end. The rice and veggies weren’t my favorite, but that chicken absolutely carried the plate!
Overall, the restaurant is a vibe with a fully stocked bar, great music, and flavorful main dishes just be prepared for a little menu confusion when you sit down.

Simpsons restaurant is absolutely amazing! The food and service was a 10/10. The drinks were strong yet delicious and the portions were great. Our waiter Tobey was on point je offered me gloves so my nails don’t mess up and recommended the BEST Hennessy cheesecake I’ve had I Would absolutely come back! It was worth the 1.5 drive. Again AMAZING

My husband and I went for our valentines day dinner on the 13th to escape the rush of the actual day . With that said I loved how they took the time to decorate and greeted every female with a long stem rose … Nice touch ! Our server was knowledgeable and helpful .
As we’re sitting eating our appetizers and vibing to the music, which was great and not too loud. We saw the owner walking around and recording the vibe of the restaurant , not once did he stop to say hello to any of his customers! That to me was very poor customer service, its also took away from the overall experience. When you see the owner walking around, it naturally raises your expectation that they’ll acknowledge you — even just a quick smile or “Thanks for coming in.” When that doesn’t happen, it can land as:
Indifference
Arrogance
Disinterest in customers
Or simply poor hospitality awareness
Appetizers- 1.Bourbon BBQ ( which tasted like bbq jerk, and could’ve been fried just a little longer to ensure that the skin maintain its crispness.
2. Tostones and dip ( guacamole was good)
Entrée – My husband
Dry Aged Cajun Bone in Ribeye
He requested for it to be charred/ medium well but it wasn’t, and lacked the Cajun aspect!
Me- Bourbon Jerk Lamp Chops
I request medium well , they came well done and hard to crew .
Mash potatoes were real
The veggies that came with the meal , i really enjoyed. So much so that I made them for our family for Sunday dinner .
Drinks – Exceptional
Hubby – The Notorious
Me – Rum punch
In conclusion- The food was ok , drinks are exceptional and a owner who doesn’t take the time to say hello to his customers took away from the overall experience of customer service!

The food was great. But the service could be much better. Not sure if they didn’t have enough staff. But to have dinner on valentines day you should be fully staffed. Our drinks came after our meal. Oh and they told us they had no more lamb chops. And while I walked to the bathroom. I clearly saw lab chops. By the kitchen ready to be served.

The restaurant was great, and the food was seasoned very well. The drinks were pretty and tasted amazing. The only issue I had was that they didn’t have mashed potatoes and gave me rice instead without letting me know first. That was a little disappointing, but overall they did a good job and I really enjoyed my meal.

We decided to come to Simpsons Atlantic City for Super Bowl Sunday from Philly. The service Jameer provided was superior. He was excellent with his delivery of explaining the menu and the special that they offered. We also were met by the manager for the night and she was extremely helpful. To assure that service was beyond superior. My wife and I ended up getting the trio/biggie sampler and pasta with salmon. The drinks are also amazing. I totally recommend this place and the food to everyone.. it’s very chill and low key.

The Service and Atmosphere were great!! However the food not so great. We ordered the Bourbon Jerk Lambchops with mashed potatoes and it came with seasonal veggies. The lamb chops were not flavorful and were not tender. Mashed potatoes and veggies lacked flavor also. We had the shrimp cocktail and that was okay. They brought out salsa instead of cocktail sauce so we had to ask for it. We had the Rum Punch drink and that was delicious!! No complaints with drinks!! It was also my husband’s birthday so they did bring out cake and had everyone say happy birthday to him so that was great!!

Jameer was an amazing waiter! He was very attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. His service really stood out and made the whole experience even better. If you come here, ask for Jameer — you won’t be disappointed
