Simp McGhee's

Colorful history and a delectable menu rival one another for the spotlight at Simp McGhee's, Decatur's signature restaurant. Located in the Old Decatur Historic District, Simp's saloon atmosphere lends credence to fascinating stories about the goings on of a riverboat captain who docked there in the 1800s. Experience the history while waiting to enjoy seafood-filled mushroom caps; snapper topped with shrimp, crab, mushrooms and green onions; and beef tenderloin marinated and cooked to perfection, all enhanced by daringly delicious desserts.
