I normally only like Lobster roll with drawn butter and not with mayo, but I thought I would give it a try and I was pleasantly surprised. It was so good. The kids love the chicken fingers and fries. We went back and had the King Crab Leg special and they were big and full. The staff is amazing and we always enjoy our meals when we go.

Overall excellent experience; friendly, fast service- our family gives these menu items an A+: all salads were very fresh, delicious warm bread, pecan-crusted salmon “wowed us”, ribeye very tender, homemade mashed potatoes perfect! Our family would change these things: disappointed in frozen french fries (didn’t follow suite w rest of meal); must change to fresh cut fries, cocktail sauce was like jelly- made too far in advance; I didn’t care for the crab cakes at all (my fault, I should have asked more questions- they were not Maryland crab cakes). Without a doubt, we would return! Our waitress, Danielle, was superb!

My wife and I celebrated our 33 year dating / 30 year wedding anniversary at Simko's. I had clams on the half shell for an appetizer and my entree was the blackened tuna over Faro Rice Special. My wife's entrée was the Baby Back Ribs. For desert we enjoyed the chocolate Moose cake. Both of our meals were fabulous. Simkos entrée pricing is a great value as the their food is 5 star quality at very reasonable pricing. Service was excellent. Our server Barbara Burke took our orders accurately and quickly. Donna , our maître'd also made sure that my wife got her favorite chardonnay wine with dinner. i enjoyed the hpuse Merlot as suggested by Barbara and was very happy with her recommendation. The interior layout is very family friendly with plenty of room and the decor is very warm and inviting. Outside the restaurant, the evening sunset views are also very nice and compliments any romantic outing (date or anniversary). We walked around the pier after dinner just to reminisce about our first date 33 years ago. Simko's also has a very large bar area , so if you have to wait for your table , you can wait at the bar and have your favorite drink until you are seated. Parking is on site with plenty of space, but during the peak summer season months, plan to arrive earlier than your seating time in order to ensure a parking spot. We very much look forward to dining again at Simko's over the rest of the season!

This is a gem of a rest! It may be tucked away but it is worth going to. I have eaten here many times and every thing I have had has been awesome! My favorite is the garlic steak! I would recommend this restaurant to everyone I know.

Had 3 entrees 2 fish and one pasta. My Parm. crusted dinner was excellent. My mom love her pasta and my girls salmon she liked. Our drinks that were made perfect. Owners stopped by to check on us also which was nice.

We went here for Jersey Shor restaurant week. I had driven by before, but never noticed the place. The food was very good, especially the grouper. Good portions at good prices.

The food and service at Simkos is outstanding. Everything is made to order and delicious. Desserts are home made too. You will not be disappointed!

Nice! Great tasting shrimp bisque and the “early bird” Shrimp Scampi was a decent portion and mighty tasty ... Broiled Seafood combo was basic but well portioned. Good service reasonably priced drinks and big selection between the menu and specials plus aforementioned early bird choices.

The inside of the restaurant is nice but not large. My wife and I had the flat iron steak and the grouper. Both were very good. The vegetables could have been cooked a little more.
Simko's offers several diverse lunch options that include soup or salad. On this visit, I got the $10 chicken pot pie (seriously, just $10!) and chose the salad with no additional charge. The chicken pot pie has tender chunks of chicken in a broth that included veggies. The broth was a little soupy, but it was really delicious, with a wonderful pie crust. I loved it! My friend has a short rib wrap for $13, and she was also very pleased.

Went for the breakfast buffet to celebrate my nephew’s birthday. It was ok, but nothing special. $15.95 per person was a very good deal for what they had to offer. If they charged a few dollars more and made it a brunch, I think it would be a hit especially for the area.

The lights need to be dimmed, and the food needs to be better. Not as good as Brielle once was. Hot turkey inedible ... turkey gravy was sad and tasteless.

The food is good, the fried calamari was very good. The servers could be more friendly. The waitress made us feel as if we were in a diner.

I'm not sure whether we caught them on a bad night but I (and the rest of our party of four) thought we could have done better at any of the other local establishments in the Belmar/Avon/Brielle/Bradley Beach area. Perhaps this new location didn't have a proper kitchen and wait staff? Overall, I doubt we'll be back anytime soon, especially given the plethora of eating establishments in the area.
