Dinner experience, from start to finish was as fine as it gets. All of it was perfect. Sit upstairs if possible...
Good food,good service,nice atmosphere and great long Island tea's.
The food was very good and I had the ponchotrain with a side salad. however execution was terrible food came out before the salad they asked if I wanted a bread basket that never came and the bartender was slow on the drinks.
Wanted to try this Restaurant, even called ahead to make a reservation but was told they don't take reservations for parties for less than 6 but since we were arriving around 5 :30 to 5:45 on Saturday evening we should be fine anyway. We walked in and we're seated upstairs. Waitress came took our drink order. Drinks were slow getting there ( that should have been our first clue to run) then she took our orders. Salads finally came and 2 hrs in (I am NOT exaggerating) when are dinners still had not come out at 7:45 my husband ask our Waitress for the check, and told her we were leaving. Now mind you, they close at 9. I asked for the manager whose name is Cameron and he was back tending bar, which appeared to me that is all he wanted to do was fill you up on alcohol and forget about getting the kitchen to move to get any food out.This will be our ONLY time at Simp Mcghee's
This could be an outstanding place to go, but they need work. They offer several dishes with a Cajun theme but it falls was short in flavor. My food was really bland as was my wife's. We were a party of four and each of our meals came to the table cold. We sent them back and they were kind enough to make them over. I still can't get over Cajun food being so lacking in taste.
I might be willing to try it again, but will be sure to tell the chef to add some spice to it.

Drag queen brunches? Nope. This is how you go out of business. Stay focused on serving food, not debauchery.

Wonderful New Orleans themed dinner location in downtown Decatur. Beautiful historic building with nice views, upstairs dining, downstairs bar and some outside seating. Prices are reflected by the selection and quality selection. Great attentive service and friendly staff.
We ordered steak which was delicious and a couple appetizers- also delicious!!

Much Wow! Walked in and was taken back a couple decades by the feel of the place. We were seated by the wall on an old hardwood table. The first thing I noticed, as two big men were seated there.... The table.... It didn't WOBBLE... At all. VERY odd. Almost old horror movie type disturbing... You'd expect it to wobble, and it didn't. We looked around, as of we were going to be murdered.. Jk.
We got an appetizer, Deep fried Green Beans. Amazing (the dipping sauce, much wow, get extra!)! We knew already what we wanted as I'd seen it described in a prior review of the joint. DEANS DELIGHT! It was scary for me to order, because it didn't say the price of it, only stated "Market Value". When I ordered the waitress said, how do you want your steak... Which I replied to, "It's Prime Rib, didn't think it mattered..." ?. Then she laid the big one on me... I don't know why they put that on there, it's a filet (It came out like a Big Chunk of Meat!)... In my mind, holy heck how expensive is this thing?!? Still ordered it, my friend did as well. I'll finish with saying, I cannot describe to you the tastes of the dish, as my tongue had no idea what to do or how to read it, but it was nothing short of out of this world!!! With that said, you'd be a fool to order anything else. The filet, perfect. The gulf shrimp, perfect. And the filler, bowtie pasta in a Cajun cream sauce... Even better. You will not be letdown. Oh, and back to the market value thing, the meal was 40 dollhairs at the time of this post. We left, fat and sassy. AND, I will go back again whenever in the area!

Great food, little pricey but great. Nice decor, two floors, upstairs a little loud due to metal ceiling and echo conversations. Nice bar.

Neat place....nest ambiance. Our service and waiter was great! They do not know how to cook prime rib though. Drinks and other options were good, but not the prime rib.
