Simon's clam chowder is amazing! It's New Year's Day and raining, we wanted some clam chowder and tried Simon's and we are so glad! The chowder is thick and creamy with an excellent flavor! We can't wait to try his other menu items! Simon was sweet and his place is cute, very clean and cozy. I'm sorry I didn't get a picture! We enjoyed it too fast! His service is nice, he taped up the quart container and stapled the container in the bag so it was nice and secure. It was a perfect choice for this rainy night! read more

I had passed by this spot many times but never stopped in because it always looked so empty. It's definitely a hole-in-the-wall kind of place, with a dated interior and a simple, old-school menu. When I finally decided to give it a try, I was greeted by a quiet, older gentleman who seemed to be running the place on his own. While the atmosphere might not stand out, the food definitely does! Once I got the fish and chips home, I was pleasantly surprised--the fish was crispy and flavorful, and the fries were just right. This is one of those "don't judge a book by its cover" spots that serves up solid, no-frills comfort food. Pro tip: While you're there, grab some dessert from the shop next door to round out the meal. read more

Cute little shop hidden away with fish/ocean decor. I ordered the 3 piece fish and chips to go. It took about 10 minutes because every order is made fresh. It was still crispy when I got home which is a great sign and the tartar sauce was super delicious! I'll definitely be back. I need to try the clam chowder on a rainy or cold day.... The man working there was also very kind. He definitely knows what he's doing! read more

We went there tonight and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fish and the preparation The owner was working alone and taking care of the entire restaurant and doing a fantastic job I had the two piece fish and chips and Gracie had the combo with 1piece of cod, 3 shrimp with fries The price was very reasonable I guess that we won't be going back to Temecula for our fish for a while Everything was wonderful so please give them a try read more

Before becoming Vegan, this place serves the BEST fish ever! The fries are OK, but the Fish are to die for. I am not sure if the only person making the food and cashiering is the owner, but if so...it's a quaint Mom & Pops hole in the wall kinda place that you just need to discover if you love quality deep fried fish. His prices are not cheap, and the wait isn't fast...but as a foodie...I would highly recommend this place. I also love supporting small businesses. Go and try it out yourself! read more

Wasn't expecting such a delicious treat. Was craving fish and chips but didn't expect much due to the options around my area. This small one man show caught me by surprise. A bit of a wait but everything is made fresh upon ordering. We ordered hush puppies , beer battered onion rings, fried zucchini's and an order of 3 pc cod fish and chips. All of which were amazing . No wonder why this place has been open for decades. A hidden Gem and staple in Hemet. I will be a returning customer. read more

The cod and the shrimp seemed like good quality, but the cod was a little underdone as the breading was soggy. Regarding portion size as reported by others, I believe we have differing ideas of what constitutes generous portions. Definitely a one-man show but he was courteous and thorough, not only bringing out my order to my table (I expected to pick it up myself from the counter), but he brought out a basket of napkins with wrapped, plastic utensils. The shrimps were good but no different than the frozen ones from Costco. I would come here to support local business, for sure, but not a go-to place if you're famished. read more

Food is delicious!! Cheap paper plates that get holes from the cheap utensils, grease and malt vinegar. Recommend getting your order as take out, or bring your own plates & utensils. read more

Simon's "WAS" great, but I personally confirmed that they are permanently CLOSED as of 2/15/26! My wife and I enjoyed their Fish & Chips several times and found them to be consistently excellent. They will be missed. read more

Simon is quite literally the sweetest most humblest person I've met. Immediately, you are met with a smile and a warm welcome, he helped me get a better understanding of what I should order and even what combos to mix to get more food while paying less. The food was fantastic and fresh of course. Will definitely be going again!!! Thanks Simon!! Support small businesses!!!! read more

The fish and chips were good and Simon treated us very well. I would go back for the service alone.

Haven't been here in a while and have missed this deliciousness!! Simon's has the BEST fish in chips around!! Everything is fresh and the fish is NOT greasy at all... we ordered the family pack so that we can have some for later so they awesome owner offered to fry that right before we leave. He's quiet but so amazing ! I always feel bad and wish this place was busier because his frying skills and ingredients are awesome! If you like fish I highly recommend this hidden gem... you'll definitely enjoy yourself. read more

Service is lovely. The same nice man who has been here forever still greets everyone with a smile. Occasionally folks have to wait a bit longer than one expect if the place isn't busy but honestly that is very rare. Prices are a bit high but the fish is always spectacular. Tartar sauce is homemade and the owner seems to always throw in extra goodies such as lemons, vinegar, you name it. After 30+ years, there really is not much to complain about. read more

Fairly new to the area and stumbled upon this place and so glad that I did. My husband and I have now tried this place twice and both times the food was excellent.

Highly recommend! read more

I visited Simmons place a few times. I don't always get a chance to swing by because I'm always in a rush to get somewhere. The owner is genuinely very nice and he just wants to serve you fish. I'd like to get his premium fish two piece and a soda and I always ask for extra tartar sauce and he never complains when I do. The ambience is a little kitschy in somewhat outdated. But who cares! The food's goodso read more
