Best jerk chicken I’ve ever had!!! hands down. My husband and I just left Simmer Down Bar & Grill Inc, and wow… the food was absolutely incredible. The chicken was the best I’ve ever had perfectly seasoned, juicy, and full of authentic flavor. Highly recommend! I can’t wait to be back!
The atmosphere was chill, homey and inviting. The service was above and beyond – the people there are wonderful; very polite. Not to mention the smoky and flavorful Jerk Chicken and the sweet and spicy sauce that accompanied it. The oxtail was tender and savory; perfect when paired with the rice and peas. Overall, pretty inexpensive for great food, big portions, and good service.
I’m a foodie and I don’t mince words when a place is not good. Simmer down delivered you hear me. Was visit Florida, looked up a place liked what I saw and I’m glad I went. We had oxtail with the rice and peas, jerk chicken with the rice as well, and the macaroni salad….. everything was top tier and we went late, Closer to closing time. The young man at the counter was very friendly and pleasant to us. Good conversation as well.
