Stopped by Simmzy's in Manhattan Beach and had a really enjoyable meal. The atmosphere is laid back, the service was friendly, and it is the kind of place that fits perfectly with the beach town vibe. The standout for me was the birria fries. They were packed with flavor and had just the right amount of richness. Every bite was delicious, and the toppings worked really well together. My only complaint is that I wish there had been more meat on top. At $15.50, you are paying quite a bit for fries with toppings, so a little extra birria would have made the dish feel like a better value. The Caesar salad with chicken is an absolute must. Sometimes a simple salad can be overlooked, but this one was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The chicken was cooked well, and it made for a satisfying meal on its own. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back. The food was flavorful, the atmosphere was fun, and there is plenty on the menu worth trying. read more

The location is great with adequate of parking around the area. The server was very attentive to our group. I got the poke bowl and it was fresh and delicious. I would definitely recommend that dish and this place. read more

Will not be returning. I know it's always usually crowded, but no excuse for poor service. There only seemed to be 1 waiter for everyone, so service was very slow. Ordered a medium-well burger, but it came out raw and bloody. Asked for a new one, and the waiter seemed put-off by my request. Couldn't flag down the waiter for water refills. Just overall not a good ambiance/environment, wouldn't come back here. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

We were excited to try Simmzy's. We were so disappointed. It was a slow Monday afternoon and there were only a few other guests being served. We ordered chicken tinga to share, Chicken Apple Walnut & Drake Farms Goat Cheese salad, bacon blue deluxe burgers with fries, peach sangria, beach cruiser blonde beer, and a couple of cokes. Service was terrible and food was unremarkable. The burgers and fries were cold. No waters were brought with the drinks, not at the beginning or end of the meal. No offer of refills on the sodas. Service was terrible, especially since the restaurant was not busy. There are so many food options in the area- will not be returning to Simmzy's. read more

Great little spot a few blocks from the beach! It was pretty packed on a Sunday at lunch which makes sense, and we were still able to get sat after only a 10-15 min wait. The Bloody Mary and the margarita were pretty good! We got the burgers and a salad, the burger was delicious and cooked perfect. Sweet potato fries are a must in my opinion. The only negative thing was my friend asked our server for her opinion on a few menu items, asking what was popular to better help her decide on what to get, and it seemed like the server was annoyed to have to answer. It was very off putting and uncomfortable. Overall enjoyed my meal and would go back if I was in the area. read more

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. read more

Always a busy spot, with a burger worth waiting for. The line/wait time fluctuates, I've been lucky and was able to get a 2 top under 5min on a Sunday for brunch, and I've waited 30+min on a random Wednesday for lunch (also 2 top). You never know until you get there. The service is efficient, and despite the crowds food comes out at a decent pace. I've tried other items on their menu, but I tend to go for their burger. It is consistently delicious. For somebody who does not like blue cheese, I am repeatedly surprised by how much I like this burger. There are a couple tables with ocean view. Wait time for those may be longer. I would recommend this for party of 2-max 4 people. The space is small and cramped. P.s.: If you want to go because of the burger (not because of the view/location), try Lil Simmzy's at The Point. There's a big parking lot and more space. It's a different vibe, I like it. If you, like me, go for the burger and live in the area, give that one a try. It's a bit more convenient and you can hang out longer. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Had the fried fish taco and chicken sandwich last night which were pretty good, tried to go again today and the waitress wouldn't let me order my food until I ordered drinks (told her I was not going to order drinks) and then went off to flirt with another table. Wasn't sure if the kitchen was closed (but they gave us food menus) - also the seating area is pretty small but the wait staff seems overwhelmed and disinterested, crappy way to spend our last night of vacation. read more

its a great burger. nice to sit on the patio and do a little people watching with a drink. wings are also very good.

We had a weekday lunch here after going to the beach. The kids enjoyed their chicken tenders - and the fries were crispy and delicious. The 15 minute wings were so good- the sauce was sweet and savory. Not spicy. The fish taco was delicious as well. Wife enjoyed her citrus miso salmon salad. The pickled veggies and tangy dressing paired well with the salmon. read more

Only had to wait around 15 min on a Sunday evening. The staff were friendly and attentive. Great drink and food menu, highly recommend the nachos with birria for starters. The traditional sangria was also real tasty. A great place to grab food and drinks that's walking distance from the strand. read more

We had a few hours to kill in Manhattan Beach and this place seemed to have a good vibe and good music, so we figured, why not? We sat at the bar and the service was surprisingly quick, even though they were very busy on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. The drinks were solid and the food (my wife and I split a gigantic bowl of chicken tortilla soup and some nachos) was pretty good -- not great or anything, but one step above my baseline expectation for a crowded beach bar. I don't know if I'd make it a destination for dinner, but it's an awesome place for a quick bite and a drink. read more

I started going to this Simmzy's location about 15 years ago, probably not long after they opened. The beer's good, the vibe is good, service is good, sure... whatever... I moved away from LA a long time ago and don't get back as often as I'd like. When I do visit, a friend and I usually meet here for old time's sake. Simmzy's is where I first convinced this friend to order his burger rare. He didn't want to at first, but tried a bite of mine and was instantly hooked. One of my biggest food pet peeves is when a restaurant asks how you want your burger cooked and then messes it up. I don't care if your burger is a smash burger that's meant to be cooked through, that's fine and delicious. But if you ask me how I want it and I say "rare," then deliver. Beef is also pretty darn bad for the environment, so I'm not giving many chances anymore to places that can't cook to order. It's a waste, and it's an easy way to get a mediocre review. In a country where ordering a rare burger feels like a gamble, Simmzy's has been reliable for me, and very tasty, of course. Honestly, it's been so reliable that the Simmzy's burger is basically the only thing I order there. (Granted I only make it in once a year or less now; Portland-to-LA isn't exactly a quick commute.) I can't guarantee they'll nail your burger the way you want it every time, but they absolutely have for me, and I appreciate that more than I used to. So yeah: get the Simmzy's burger, order it rare, thank me later. And look, their meat is good. Red meat is not great for you or the planet and we should all eat less of it. If you're going to eat it less, you might as well eat it well (and I don't mean well done). read more

I was not wowed by the food here. I've been wanting to come here for years and heard great things about the burgers. Unfortunately, they were all past overcooked and quite pricey for what you get. Service was friendly, and the food was ready quickly, but I feel the prices do not reflect the quality. Our family and friends thought the same, unfortunately, not worth returning, not horrible, but not memorable either. read more

My husband and I wanted to get out of the house so we took a. Little walk in manhattan beach--- We decided to stop at this place for food because my husband saw wings on the menu and that's his go to haha We were sat very fast ever tho it looked to be pretty busy. We had a table for 2 on the patio which was nice because we were able to see the beach. Jean G was our server... he was the nicest person I had met. Very personable, nice smile, explained items on the menu- just a very pleasant person. I remember he stated that he was from Brazil. Jean noticed that my husband was playing Pokémon go.. he stopped to have a quick chat about it ( which I think was nice) Randomly I started to choke on a piece of salmon... Jean was very alert and ready to give me the Heimlich !!!! Luckily I was fine but I do appreciate him being alert and ready for action!!! Very satisfied with the whole visit --- we will definitely be coming back :-) I feel like we're family at this point. read more

A great little spot to catch a game and have a drink. The service is fast and the staff is very friendly. The food is hot or miss, the burgers are the best item, but there are not a ton of different options. 3/5 - Simmzy's Nachos: not that flavorful, pretty basic, no guacamole or avocado on them, and the salsa is very mild. I would skip these here. 5/5 - Bean & Cheese Chimichanga Taco: very flavorful, small, but definitely tasty and worth it! 4/5 - Simmzy's Burger: tasty, nice fries on the side, nothing super special, but a solid burger. 4/5 - La Rosa Margarita: very sour, but I really like that, it looks sweet, but it's actually much more of a nice sour flavor.

Went on a Wednesday night and it was almost full. Really lively causal spot with multiple monitors if you want to watch the game or watch downtown MB with their open patio. Service was attentive and friendly. I got a Russian IPA on draft and the Billionaire burger with Wagyu and my partner got the Blackened Salmon Sando. The beer was really refreshing and I like how they have rotating draft options. The Garlic Aioli and fries were good but the burger itself was ok. I got the burger medium rare but it was a bit dry towards the middle. The blackened salmon was better and tasty throughout. We got the Churros to finish it off and it came coffee ice cream but the churros were pretty tough to chew and seemed like it was frozen originally. Would come back for the vibes, beers and fries! read more

Fell into this trendy spot in Manhattan beach CA and it happened to be taco Tuesday. Never expected to walk out of a food place in California under $70 for such a great experience. Normally this place ive seen completely full. (it's not big) but it's the place to be. Not excited by too many food places in this town. Couple expensive steak houses and a great sushi but otherwise Simmzy's was a nice surprise. Sit at the bar for a wine and people watch. Chill vibe. You get the munchies you're sorted here. read more
