After walking past Sim's several times, we finally 'took the plunge' and went in - we are so happy we did. Amazing steaks, great value - even if the decor is a little dated, it's still a great meal and saves you having to go intro central London and pay double

I have been a customer of Sim and Aliv for many years and it’s always a joy to eat in their restaurant . My friend and I had been to see a show up town and made a pit stop at Sims on our way home . We received a warm welcome and enjoyed a delicious meal of dips with hot pitta, scampi and chicken stuffed with ham and cheese washed down with a couple of drinks . As always everything was freshly prepared and cooked by Sim . There is something for everyone on the menu including Sims legendary steaks which have to be seen and tasted to be believed . A local restaurant with great food and friendly service . Highly recommended . Booking advisable

Always made to feel extremely welcome. No time pressure to order anything and very relaxed. Menu is not just steak but includes fish, chicken etc. everything on menu is delicious and you cannot fault the freshness as it is all cooked to order. A little gem of a find in south east London . Call in I’m sure you definitely won’t be disappointed. Family run by sim and Ali. Can’t rate this place high enough.

I had decided to bring my friend here as he is a steak lover and would not believe me that we would be eating a good of a steak as he had ever had. Sim convinced us that the way to go was a TBone which we did, both requested medium rare. Upon arrival at our table the steaks were huge, perfectly cooked and as good (if not better) than most I have eaten in my nearly 40 years flying around the world. Fussy friend had never had such a wonderful steak. Not going to mention anything else as everything more than adequate and the hosts were delightful but not overbearing. A little gem.

We returned to Sims to celebrate my husbands birthday along with our friends. As always a warm welcome awaited us. We all enjoyed excellent meals , four out of six of us had steaks including one who took on the mighty T.bone steak with homemade peppercorn sauce and won !. Generous portions and everything served hot and fresh. Lovely to see a much loved local restaurant open again . Booking is essential due to covid measures. Highly recommended .

I’m sure the reviews on here must be old or people haven’t had a good steak before. Went here as my partner said he had been years ago and it was the best steak around. Unfortunately we did not experience this. My filet was over cooked and dry when I asked for medium and my partners said his t bone tasted boiled. For a £90 meal you expect a lot more.

Have lived locally for a good many years and kicking myself for not trying Sims sooner... we’re planning on going back very soon as it was brilliant! The welcome was warm, the service was perfect from all of the teamand food just exceptional. We were introduced to the chef, given some complimentary treats to accompany our wine choice which got is off to a great start! We shared the calamari and garlic mushrooms to start and then the fillet medallions (freshly cut and shown to my husband before cooking) and my seabass (also shown to me after filleting) were cooked to perfection for each of us and just good quality, honest food! I feel when (not if) we return to try more of the menu we’ll be made to feel equally welcome every time.... hoping we get back there as soon as we can as it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience in all aspects! Thank you all!

Fuimos esta noche para un regalo de cumpleaños con nuestro hijo de 10 meses y desearíamos haber visitado antes. Desde fuera parece bastante normal, pero el interior es muy auténtico turco y la comida es increíble. Teníamos calamares y vieiras para comenzar y un T - bone y filete como papas fritas, papas salteadas y salsa de jerez. Todos fueron fantásticos, pero el filete del hueso T fue excepcional. Sim y su equipo fueron muy amables, hicieron todo lo posible para mantener a nuestro hijo feliz y cocinaron toda la comida fresca, frente a todos en la parrilla abierta y con sonrisas enormes. No puedo recomendar este lugar lo suficiente y volveré muy pronto.

Un maravilloso asador local con servicio familiar super amable. Tercera vez allí, pero esta vez los 4 de nosotros. Carnes y salsas cocinadas a la perfección. ¿Un hueso de 630 g por menos de 30? No puedo ver cómo hacen dinero con esos precios. Conduje durante 45 minutos a través del tráfico de Londres para llegar allí el sábado por la noche para un 7. 30 reservas para 2 adultos y 2 niños. 3 filetes y lados, vino y refrescos por debajo de 100 es una buena relación calidad-precio, no estoy seguro de por qué esto no es más alto. Mi t - bone era perfecto - raro a medio, y sin embargo sabroso y casi dulce. Mi otra mitad ni siquiera podía terminar su Fillet Minion, y los niños partieron de costilla. También puedes traer tu propio vino, por lo que podría haber sido incluso más barato. Cuanto más lo pienso, más quiero volver.

Took a party of 15 to one of our favourite restaurants to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday. Had spoke to Sim prior to our visit to discuss arrangements regarding food and decorations etc and on arrival we received the usual warm, friendly welcome and everything was in place for a great evening . Due to number in the party we had pre-ordered our starters and main courses. Sims reputation for excellent steaks meant that 11 out of 15 chose steak .Different cuts and preferences to how it was cooked had been given beforehand. Everyone enjoyed dips, olives ,bread and the various starters. The main courses all came out quickly, each individual dish cooked to perfection. There were sides if salad,chips,saute potatoes etc, all replenished when required. The steaks were so good my godson who is a growing young man managed to eat two large sirloins !! There is no better endorsement than that. We then enjoyed delicious desserts ,coffee and after dinner drinks. It was a fantastic evening and everyone enjoyed the food and the friendly service. We have had a lot of family celebrations at Sims and they have all been first class. This is a lovely local family run restaurant serving great food and drink in relaxed surroundings. Everyone from couples, families and groups all get the same great experience. Thank you to you all

Un amigo me dijo que este lugar era uno de los secretos mejor guardados de Londres y, desde luego, no estaba bromeando. No hay mucho que ver fuera con solo una modesta pizarra con cortes de días, pero el saludo y el servicio fue muy amable e informativo de lo que se ofrecía. Luego viene el evento principal. El filete. ¡Todo lo que puedo decir es: Guau! Tuve el hueso - y mi esposa tenía el filete y el mío era sin duda tan bueno como lo he tenido si no hubiera sido mejor. Si alguien piensa que tiene que ir al extremo oeste de Londres para obtener calidad, créame que no está cerca de usted si vive cerca y por un costo muy razonable también. ¿El secreto mejor guardado de Londres? No por mucho tiempo, creo que no puedo esperar para volver.

We had a lovely dinner of bread, olive and dips and then steak with beer. We had a large ribeye each with sauce and chips and salad. The restaurant was quiet when we visited due to the bad weather, but the food was excellent and so was the service. We paid £77 for the meal which included two beers each, I thought this was very reasonable for the excellent quality. The family that runs this place could not be nicer. A local gem in Lee! I am lucky to live near to this place and we will try to come back more often!

Este es nuestro ir al restaurante local y ha sido durante algún tiempo. Visitamos otra vez anoche y como siempre no nos decepcionó. Disfrutamos de langostinos y halloumi para empezar, seguido de filete y ajo pollo. Como siempre mi carne maridos era de primera clase, le dieron un cuchillo para carne, pero no era necesario ya que la calidad de la carne y de la manera que está preparado es la perfección. Mi pollo era tierna y tenía una salsa casera, sin salsas hechas aquí. Compartimos grandes cuencos de recién preparado lado incluye la mejor patatas cuece nunca.

Huge, perfectly cooked rib-eye steaks, chunky homemade chips and side salads all tasted absolutely delicious.

Nice, thick hand cut steaks. This place has been here for years and it's like stepping into a time machine with the decor - and the prices! Very good value! The most expensive would be more than double the price up in Blackheath. The mixed starter was good too. Very friendly and family run. Sims had a talk with us after our meal to make sure everything was OK. They really should invest in an internal re-fit or at least some new windows (currently 1970's brown glass so you cant see inside) as this must put off others as it did us before reading the reviews here.

Visited Sims on Friday night and as we haven,t been for a while we were pleasantly surprised to see a couple of little changes. The menu has been slightly changed and is now presented in a smaller ,stylish format which is nicely laid out. One of our favourite starters is the Mixed Meze for two.On ordering it we were impressed with the new presentation of the dishes,it looked fresh and appealing ,of course it tasted lovely.There are a few additions to the menu including rib eye steaks and sweet chilli chicken along with all the favourites. The sweet chilli chicken is served both in a starter and main course format .I had it as a main course and it was excellent ,will fast become one of my new favourites.My husband enjoyed an excellent steak with all the trimmings. (steaks are a speciality of the house).There is a varied menu for all.As always a very enjoyable evening in a relaxed atmosphere .Sim and Aliv as welcoming and friendly as ever. If you are looking for somewhere to warm yourself up and enjoy a meal this autumn or celebrate the coming festive season with family, friends or colleagues then I would recommend you give Sims a try .Booking advisable

Since 1st visit we have been back twice and each time food has been superb. If you like good steak at a good price you must try... The staff remembered my name and the service is faultless.

Great food and service.One of the best steaks ever...a monster ribeye, with jacket potato n salad for £17.95.And with steak n potato served on a piping hot plate, as it should be.Sim the chef/owner obviously takes great pride in his cooking - and customer satisfaction.Sweet service, too.They've been around from 1989 for a very good reason...quality.

Saw reviews and thought we try as local. Wasn't disappointed and certainly be our new restaurant for steak. Sim cooks and prepares, huge steak cooked beautifully. Ordered far to much, large portions very good value and good service.

My family and I have been enjoying meals and warm hospitality at Sims for many,many years.It is our go to place for celebrations with family& friends or for a meal for two.There is always a warm welcome from Sim and Aliv,this is a family run restaurant and they welcome couples,families and parties.They are always willing to help plan a special celebration.The food is excellent,all cooked fresh at time of order.Steak is Sims speciality and he is passionate about the quality and freshness of his produce.Whenever we take friends and family for a meal the steaks are always a first choice for many of them.The rest of the menu is varied with plenty of choice for all tastes.Everything is well presented.Unlike some restaurants you are never hurried through your visit so there is plenty of time to enjoy a dessert or after dinner drink.If you enjoy good freshly cooked food in friendly relaxed surroundings with a warm welcome then Sims is the place for you.I was there on Saturday night and it was very busy so booking would be recommended.Sims will soon become your family favourite as it has ours.

Being local, and having eaten at most restaurants in Blackheath, I was feeling the craving for steak. I quickly Googled steak restaurants, and to my surprise there was a local restaurant with 5 star reviews. I've driven past the restaurant for many years, without noticing it. When I entered the restaurant I was greeted by Sim, standing over the grill. I immediately noticed that the kitchen and cooking area was in full display of the restaurant, and was clean. Both Sim and his server were welcoming, and Sim took time to recommend and advice me on the cuts of meat he had.If you want to eat at Cau, go to Blackheath. If you want to support an owner run local restaurant go to Sim's. In the US they call places like this 'Mom and Pop' restaurants. I will be returning.

This evening I found myself in Sim's Steakhouse tucking in to one if the most succulent and tasty steaks I have ever had the pleasure of eating. My only regret is not having been here before.

I always find it strange and somewhat off-putting when Steak Restaurants don’t mention where their meat comes from, almost like they’re trying hide the fact that it’s from the local cash and carry. That’s not to say the steak at Sims isn’t good, it is, but you get my pointSim’s is a lovely little traditional (albeit a little old fashioned) local restaurant, warm greeting, big smiles etc The menu is huge and a little odd, steaks are offered without sauce, with a sauce, steak cooked in a sauce, it’s too much confusion, why not just list the steaks and list the sauces, what muddies the waters further here is there is no mention of size/weight on the menu, my sirloin steak for example was priced at £13.95, you’d imagine would be 7-8oz, but no, it was nearer 12oz!! Sims Famous Tbone I now know is HUGE!!! But why not write on the menu that its 16-18oz’s? My sirloin was slightly undercooked, not enough to send back but I was expecting perfection from a restaurant that predominantly serves steaks. It was however well seasoned, tender and full of flavour. Strange not to see a Rib Eye on the menu? Pepper sauce, at an incredible £3.95 is decent, frozen chips good, but again I was expecting homemade. Dessert are unashamedly bought in frozen gateau’s/cheesecakes etc, gave that a miss Friendly service, good value for money, terrible music, will certainly return, with headphones

This was my first visit to Sim's as I'm not from the area. I saw a few decent reviews on Tripadvisor already and being fairly relaxed and usually impatient to eat, we settled on this place. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the experience. The restaurant's atmosphere was warm, hospitable and charming and we were welcomed in immediately. You could tell it was family run, something you can tell they're proud of. It also happens to be a huge plus for me, as I'm not a fan of chain restaurants where you're bundled in and out almost at their inconvenience. I don't like the impersonal feel of those places, I like to feel like my business matters to them, like I might be welcome again. This place certainly gave me a sense of that. Anyway, I digress... The menu offered a decent array of dishes suitable for all types and appetites. I went with a steak and my wife with chicken (although I ended up eating most of her's because she's small and I'm a fatty!) The portions of food served were sizable and the prices were very competitive. We both really enjoyed our meals and left feeling pretty satisfied by the service and value for money. The restaurant itself was cozy and open plan style. I like to see what's going in the kitchen, so that was a plus for me. I'd certainly be willing to recommend this to others if they're looking for a decent, warm, family-orientated, friendly atmosphere coupled with freshly prepared, sizable portions of food at decent prices. If I'm in the area again, I'll certainly pop in again. Check it out if you're near!

The food arrived very quickly and was delicious. Well cooked and plenty to go around. I would highly recommend it. Although not particularly cheap there was a large selection

Visited Sims again tonight but this time just me and my husband. We didn't book and decided we would try on the off chance to see if they could fit us in. When we arrived there was a engagement party going on and our initial first thought was that we wouldn't get to eat but just as before we were seated straight away. The fact they were busy didn't make a difference to the way were welcomed in and served. This time I decided for my starter to go for the garlic prawns as I enjoyed them so much last time and my husband had the avocado prawns. Also as we were feeling quite hungry so ordered a additional humus and warm pitta all of which were excellent. For the main meals I decided to go for something different so I ordered the sea bass which was fresh that day. My husband ordered the T.bone steak again as he hadn't stopped going on about it from the last visit. Potato sides plus salad again. Both delicious and what surprised me is that while the chef was cooking our meals he also had another 24 steaks going on the grill for the party which didn't make the slightest bit of difference to the quality of our meals. I was a bit cheeky and sneaked a quick photo while walking past! As that day it was very hot we both opted for the ice-cream Sundaes and like a big kid asked for both sauces plus extra nuts which was no problem. My glass was never left empty and I now decided this is now my favourite place to eat. What a lovely restaurant and family!

Visited sim's tonight and I've never been to a place where my family were made to feel so welcome. I found the restaurant after driving past a few times and decided to give it a go. Instantly you could tell that it was a family owned business and that was part of the whole atmosphere. I didn't have to wait to be seated and offered drink straight away. We ordered a selection of starters to begin with to suit all and that exactly what it did nobody wanted for anything. From mussels, garlic prawns, meze and even chicken bites for the children. What I most shocked about were the size of the mains and all cooked right in front of you. I ordered a sirloin steak and my husband a T Bone with both came with sauces made on the spot. Plus salad and a selection of different potato sides. My husband can eat a lot but this was a challenge. He managed every single bite mine included! Deserts again excellent probably the bit my children enjoyed the most! Excellent place to eat and take the family I will be definitely be going back.

Me and my boyfriend went here tonight for the first time and we will deffo be returning! My boyfriend had the T-bone steak (it was huge) and I had the fillet, both cooked to perfection! We have eaten in many steak houses before including the chop house in butlers wharf were the same meal as eaten tonight would top £200, and can honestly say Simms was a lot better and only £43 including a few wines and beer. Cannot wait to return here and would recommend this place to anyone.

Another great meal at Sim's.. Had the veal steak which was absolutely massive, same size as the T Bone.. We all had a mixture of steaks cooked to our liking.. Must recommend the freshly made pancakes.. Sim makes them there for you Plus the home made cheese cake is different everytime.. They can't do enough and cater to your needs, just ask them..

Found details for Sim's Steak House online and decided to pay a visit based on the reviews on Trip Advisor and am glad we did! The menu is very good with lots of choice, abundant selection of starters, fish, chicken & lamb dishes in addition to the broad range of steaks on offer. They also offer a meze for two people priced at £38 - excellent value. We both went for the t-bone steak which were delicious. Restaurant is a good size with somewhere between 50-60 covers. Meals are prepared in view of the customers, lovely place ideal for any occasion. We will definately go back again soon.

I would highly recommend this restaurant. I ordered the chefs favourite which was a fillet stuffed with feta covered in Sim's special sauce. It was very moorish. I have been to some of the best steakhouses in London which include Relais de Venice, Buen Ayre and Hawkesmoor. This ranks right up there with the best. Friendly service, excellent food. I will certainly be going back to try the Meze patter. What a great hidden gem!

Visited here last week, even though it's been here over 15 years! . We got served the biggest steaks I have ever seen, ask what they have fresh in, you will get a recommendation... Very nice food all cooked fresh for you. We were a party of 5, had different steaks etc, all cooked to liking. 2 of us had the meze sharer, this includes a mixture off all the starters hot and cold, then a main of the meats / kebab which are freshly available that day.. We had chicken skewered , lamb steaks, beef shish and steak.. This may be different yours.. If to like big fluffy pancakes, then you must try sims... He makes them fresh for you with your choice of filling and toppings.. I had banana and ice cream.. Lovley.. . The decor makes you feel like you are in a taverna in the med . Very friendly staff always on hand to help. It wasn't too crowded which was perfect for what we wanted.. . We will now make this a monthly regular place. . The price is very reasonable for the quality and amount of food you get. . Recommended you try this restaurant, I can't understand why they were not on trip adviser earlier.... Cheers

Overall a bit pricey and expect long queues at night. The prawns were good though and they were not stingy. Mac and Cheese was fab so was the rice and peas.

up there in my top three burgers ever. great chips too and service is quick. Nice geezers on the stand too. I just ate in the new restaurant in brockely. The burger was incredible, the fries were double cooked and mega crispy. Just the way I like it and perfection. I also tried the buffalo chicken wings. Lovely crispy skin and delicious sauce.
