Our Story

Mike Simms and his brother grew up running around the kitchen and under tables at West Hollywood’s French Market and Manhattan Beach’s The Kettle –– his father’s and grandfather’s restaurants.

Mike Simms attended Cornell’s prestigious Hotel School. After graduating, he immediately started managing restaurants and immersing himself in food. Simms began connecting local eateries to surrounding farms, brewers, and wineries.

In 2009, Simmzy’s Manhattan Beach was born, opening alongside the Simms Restaurant Group’s Tin Roof Bistro. The location for Simmzy’s was found first, and Mike knew the vacant space was perfect for brews and burgers.

Now ten years later, Simmzy’s has six locations. Simmzy’s prides itself on homemade craft beers and food worth savoring. A SoCal native and father of four children, Mike looks forward to serving that family-feel with vacation vibes every day.
