Coming in we felt greeted like family thanks to Kaedia. She helped us with making a decision on what to eat and everything came out amazing. The jerk chicken was flavorful with an amazing sweet sauce that was such a great combination. Rice and peas tasted great and the macaroni salad, man, I'm not one to eat macaroni salad but this mac was so good! The roti and curry goat gravy was very flavorful and wish I had space to have ordered some goat. We also ordered the Rasta Pasta which so creamy and delicious and just the right amount of spice. All in all, everything was great. Can't wait to come back!

100/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food was bursting with flavor specially the steamed fish w deliciously made rice and peas 🤤🤤 the potatoes in the fish dish are cooked to perfection and melt in your mouth. So good! Ordered an extra one to take home. Their homemade juices were refreshing and super tasty. Staff were very attentive, welcoming and incredibly nice. Highly recommend.

As a Jamaican, I can honestly say Simmer Down Bar & Grill is the real deal! The food is incredibly authentic, flavorful, and reminds me of home with every single bite. You can taste the love, the seasoning, and the tradition in the food, it’s the kind of Jamaican cooking that takes you right back home.
And the staff? Absolutely amazing. From the moment you walk through the door, they make you feel like family. The warmth, hospitality, and genuine kindness make the entire experience feel like you’re visiting someone’s home rather than just going out to eat.
Every dish feels like a little piece of paradise. From the rich flavors to the perfectly seasoned meats and those unmistakable Jamaican spices, they truly captured the essence of the food I grew up with.
If you’re Jamaican and missing home, go to Simmer Down. If you’ve never experienced authentic Jamaican food, go to Simmer Down. Your taste buds will thank you!
This isn’t just food.. it’s a taste of home, a taste of Jamaica, and a little piece of paradise on a plate.
Kadian and team,
Thank you so much for getting it right! This is what I asked for and this was delivered and executed perfectly. I appreciated the opportunity to come and sit with you to taste test to see if this met my standards 😫. Yes, man standards high bad when it comes to food. The oxtail and jerked pork bone have mi a way cause dem get dead 2 time. Dem get minced out🤣🤣
Everything delectable and joyful was happening on the plate and needless to say, my palate was jumping with pride.
Jerked pork, jerked chicken, oxtail, curried chicken, stewed chicken and rice and peas gets a high five for me.
Thanks a mill.

Every month at our workplace, Ship Sticks, we celebrate an Employee of the Month who earns some great perks, including the chance to choose a catered lunch for the whole office. Yesterday, we had the pleasure of enjoying a spread from Simmer Down Bar and Grill, courtesy of this month's winner, Elorie.
Wow. Just wow. The food was phenomenal. We had curry chicken, oxtail, stewed chicken, macaroni salad, rice and peas, jerk chicken, and jerk pork, and every single dish was delicious and top notch. It's genuinely hard to find Jamaican food of this quality anywhere in the area. I'd highly recommend Simmer Down to anyone nearby. This was easily the best catered lunch we've had all year, and I'm so glad we discovered this hidden gem! DELICIOUS!!!
