“I liked the fries which were gluten and dairy free. The location was crowded by seagulls who are only worthy of extermination. This ruines the atmosphere of the place. They were quick and helpful though.

Vegetarian options: Potatoes is vegan

Dietary restrictions: Dairy and gluten free minus the cheese

Parking: So its on a boardwalk and parking on the boardwalk is illegal

Kid-friendliness: The seagulls would eat your kids if they were small enough

Wheelchair accessibility: There is ramps onto the boardwalk but i would not advice they come here as they will not be able to out run the seagull“

“We were there yesterday (Friday 28th)….,,, game day of course it was busy that’s expected .,,. Put our name on the list for a seat weighted and watch the game of course for three hours to find out our name was taken off the list somehow….. we are not a complaining type. I understand it’s game day things happen. It gets crazy completely understandable. Still had a fun time watching the game. !!!!! …….. but I like shout out a big thank you to Mike one of the managers there forgetting us a table and being so kind to us….. Thank you again from your Scranton Pa peeps!!!!“

“First time stopping here. Not much to look at outside but once inside the newly renovated bar is great. It is open, clean and plenty of tv's with multiple games on. Great place to watch sports. It is very loud even when it is not busy. Food was just ok. They make homade chips that are crunchy slices of potatoes with absolutely no flavor. The tuna steak sandwich is a good size of tuna but without flavor and real fishy. The salmon wrap was very good. The waitress was awesome and pleasant.“

“Great service and good food.“

“Alexa was the best server“

“Bartender's (Tom, Kate, Mira, and others) are wonderful! Been coming here for over a year. Good bar food, cocktails, and ice cold 40oz fresh bottled beer in a ice bucket with a frozen glass at an amazing price. Short walk to the Havana Tower and Parking Garage....perfect for us when we just want to kick back and have fun in a sports bar setting. Located on 2nd floor in The Quarter above Carmines. Highly Recommend this Bar!“

“Great place, great food, great service. My waitress Heather (So sorry if I didn't spell your name right) was more than amazing. Our food came fast and the feeling and vibe was like chilling on the beach eating fro yo. Food was well priced and it was delicious. IN LOVED THIS PLACE too bad I was just on vacation. COME TO THIS PLACE!“

“Great local bar/restaurant! Come for the king crabs 🦀 comfortable and not touristy!“

“great for kids exceptional staff / Bartender (Allie) great food and service.“

“I held a tasting for Bella promotions and events / alliedbeveragenj and they were amazing host! They treated with me w amazing hospitality and selling ghost tequila went off like a hit during their Halloween / Phillies World Series 1st game! Very memorable night plus they have two of the BEST BOUNCERS !“

“Stop scrolling. Just stop. Simpson Bar & Restaurant is a whole vibe, and I mean from the second you walk in. You’re hit with that unmistakable Jamaican aroma that immediately tells your tastebuds, “Get ready.” I stopped by after a convention at the Hard Rock (4 min Uber – thank me later) and instantly knew this was worth every minute.

💙 Ambiance: Dimly lit with deep blue tones, perfect for a night out or post-convention chill. The music? 90s & early 2000s R&B/hip hop slaps—giving major NYC Barclays location energy.

👑 Service: Really good, especially considering this spot’s only been open 2 months. Shoutout to Jameer & trainee Bianca for being honest about the menu (so refreshing) and making us feel like VIPs. Hosts, servers, busboys – all on point, checking in, making sure nothing was off.

🍴 Food & Drinks: Let’s talk about it. I had the 673, friends sipped on rum punch ultra (a touch syrupy for my taste, but not bad). The Bourbon BBQ wings? IMM-A-CU-LATE. Finger-licking goodness. Oxtails? As a Jamaican, I co-sign—slightly spicy, bell peppers peeking out, perfection. I even eyed the jerk chicken my friend ordered (looked and smelled divine) but was too busy tunnel-visioned on my oxtail heaven.

🍰 Dessert: Small hiccup—the tiramisu arrived frozen—but the staff immediately comped it. Classy recovery, zero stress.

⏱️ Timing & Experience: Fast, fun, effortless. No wait (Thu evening in early March), just good vibes, full plates, and killer music.

🏁 Final Verdict: 10/10. Highly recommend. Normally I photograph everything, but this food smelled and looked too good—photos didn’t even stand a chance. Go. Eat. Thank me later.“

“Applebee's is a fun place to go with all kinds of different foods to choose from. It is reasonably priced and the food is good quality. The late hours make it convenient as well! They can handle larger parties, or just two people on a date. They usually have nice bar areas to sit and talk as well. Just an all around good place!“

“Came here to watch the games at the sportsbook and overall had a really good experience. The sportsbook itself is nice, spacious, and it’s easy to view all the screens no matter where you’re sitting. It’s a great setup for catching multiple games at once.
One of the biggest highlights was the bartenders and servers — they were all very friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of. Security was also present which made the environment feel safe and well-managed. We actually had an incident where some people took our reserved seats, but security handled it quickly and professionally with no issues.
My only suggestion would be to have a physical drink menu or even a QR code menu available so guests can clearly see what’s offered and what the prices are. There was also some confusion about food — one server told us they didn’t offer food, but later we found out they do have limited options like wings and hot dogs.
Overall though, it’s a solid spot to watch games and hang out. Would definitely come back.“
