“ Great tasting barbecue always consistently good. Great value for the money. Fresh buns and tasty slaw. ”
“ Simmon's Barbecue is one of my favorite barbecue restaurants to go to. The barbecue is so flavorful. The service is pretty quick. They don't have indoor seating, but they do have outside park benches. The area is usually well kept. ”
“ I was pretty pleasantly surprised with Simmons! I often find that drive-through only bbq is very hit or miss, but this place is a hit for me. Like I said, this operation is drive-through only, so all meals are made to-go. I got mine shortly after work for a late lunch. City harbor is a short drive away, so I toodled over there for a view of the water while I ate. The drive through line moved quickly enough. The menu has bbq, the less fancy bbq sides (beans, slaw, chips), family pack meals for a variety of crowd sizes, as well as loaded potatoes and nachos. I selected a pork loaded baked potato with a Diet Pepsi (iirc - don't think it was Coke). I think my lunch ~$12, which isn't too bad for the serving sizes. The lady at the drive through was polite and welcoming. My pork tater was quite large and came with liquidy butter, cheese, and dollops of sour cream and bacon bits on top. The bacon bits, while the pre-packaged salad garnish kind, are a pleasant surprise - you don't often get those on bbq taters without asking. The potato was cooked nicely, still warm and soft. I genuinely enjoyed the Que, enough so that I'd get it on a sandwich or on a plate without the goodness of a potato there as backup, lol. I don't like bbq sauce on my taters but I did dip a small piece of pork in the cup they gave me. It's a more vinegar based sauce, but it had enough sweetness to it that I still enjoyed it. Thanks for a quick, easy, and tasty lunch! ”
“ Food is delicious and service is fast! My favorites are the BBQ potato and the red sauce. 10/10 recommend ”
“ I love Simmons. It's one of my all time favorites. I've traveled the south and live in California and I still get a hankering for a delicious bbq chicken sandwich, even after 12 years (2011). The first time I had Simmons was in 1998 and instantly fell in love. I wish there was a way to ship me a sandwich today! ”
“ Drive-thru only with big portions. The food was food and you get a lot of food for your money, so a good choice for country BBQ. ”
“ Great for BBQ take out! There is no dine-in option, drive thru only. But really excellent BBQ. Great prices too. ”
