First time at The Simpsons and I must say it was excellent!! My husband and I had no regrets. The food and drinks was the best so far in all the Jamaican foods we ate in Brooklyn. The server was always checking in to endure all was ok , never felt ignored . Was recommended by a friend to us and we already started telling friends to check it out.

Made my return to this restaurant for the third time to finally experience the happy hour menu. I tried the sliders, the wings and the hush puppies. Everything was delicious!!! To top it off I had two of their signature drinks called the Filé sour . My favorite drink right now is their seasonal cocktail their Winter sangria which is really like Christmas in a glass, however, it is not on a happy hour menu. Our server, Liam was friendly, professional, and kind and if you’re ever there celebrating a birthday, please request Patty, who has the voice of Jennifer Hudson meets Tina Turner to sing for the guest of honor!! if you have an experience this restaurant at least once I encourage you to do so signed a faithful customer!
