This restaurant offers an excellent dining experience. The oxtail is cooked perfectly, falling off the bone. The fish is well-seasoned and crispy. It is definitely worth a visit on your way between Houston and Galveston. View all feedback.

I would pay double for a small part of the food here at simps, I would go bare foot in Texas heat for this eating if I only $20 to my name and I needed gas I would buy a teller of eating simps because the heart bless those who sacrifice. this juicy soul food is the best I have ever tasted in my life and I am a cream woman from the south. please do not hesitate to stop here at simps for a hot south meal. trust me, it's good

I have enjoyed the authentic American kitchen of simps for many years. the family-run restaurant soul food offers 4 or more main courses with 4-6 meals. of delicious ochs tails, fried chicken, pork warmers, fried fish and garnel and more, they can not go wrong. portioning is much more than generous. I usually get 2 meal times for one. look at yourself.

Platz is filthy. health protection to the berichtshof. the owner is one of those figures that are less interested in that the villains crawl in the whole kitchen. if they like rusty and raw eggs in their kitchen, then this is the place for them. much fun.
