Why go
Simms Steakhouse is a practical Lakewood pick for a classic sit-down dinner, especially when the group wants an occasion-friendly room without chasing a hard reservation. It is stronger for dining in than takeout or delivery, since the steakhouse format depends on timing and atmosphere. Cross-shop 240 Union Restaurant for broader contemporary dining or Great Divide Brewery & Roadhouse for a more casual night.
About Simms Steakhouse
4 PM is the key planning clue for a first-timer in Lakewood: Simms Steakhouse opens at 4 PM Monday through Saturday, with a separate daytime and evening schedule on Sunday. It works when the brief is a direct visit to Simms Steakhouse rather than a more loosely defined night out.
The strongest planning detail is the schedule. Hours are 4–9 PM Monday through Thursday, 4–10 PM Friday and Saturday, 10 AM–2 PM plus 4–8 PM on Sunday. The listed dress code is business casual, so plan for a polished but not overly formal visit.
Choose it for a scheduled Lakewood meal
Use Simms Steakhouse when you want a Lakewood option and can plan around its posted hours. The restaurant is primarily an evening choice during the week, with Friday and Saturday running an hour later than Monday through Thursday. Sunday is the exception, with both a daytime window and an evening window.
There are fewer details available here on menu specifics, pricing, service format, or kitchen leadership, so treat it as a practical Lakewood pick rather than a credential-led recommendation. First-timers should plan around the confirmed hours and business-casual dress code.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Simms presents itself as a restrained, midwestern-style chophouse that prioritizes the ritual of steak over theatrical design. The dining room deliberately recedes: muted lighting, a purposeful layout and a calibrated noise level keep attention at the table. That restraint reads as confident rather than austere, and it makes the room feel intimate and quietly focused. Regulars are part of the picture — the floor operation is tuned to steady service rather than flash — so guests encounter a space that emphasizes consistency and comfort over trend-driven theatrics.
Best For
Simms functions as a steady neighborhood steakhouse for West Denver diners who come for reliably well-executed beef and an unfussy dining room. It is particularly well suited to evening meals — date nights, business dinners and celebrations all fit naturally here — because the room’s focus on the table and composed service foster uninterrupted conversation. Locals and repeat guests are a key part of the scene; the restaurant’s longevity on the 6th Avenue strip signals a place built on consistency rather than novelty, making it a dependable choice for special evenings.
Ordering Tips
When ordering at Simms, stick to the strengths listed in the venue’s signature repertoire: the Center Cut Filet Mignon, the Bone-In Ribeye and the Prime Rib. The editorial description underscores the restaurant’s focus on beef and its well-honed floor operation, so trusting staff guidance on doneness and portion is prudent. Because the room is calibrated to center the table, plan for a classic steakhouse experience that prioritizes the main cuts; the kitchen’s consistency is the primary draw, so keep selections straightforward to appreciate execution.

Restaurant context
How it compares in Lakewood
Simms Steakhouse is the safer choice when the plan calls for a traditional dinner room and an occasion-friendly format. 240 Union Restaurant is the better cross-shop for diners who want a broader contemporary American meal rather than a steakhouse-led evening, while Tstreet is a stronger fit for a more casual, flexible group meal.
For value and ease, Davies Chuck Wagon Diner belongs in a different lane: choose it for daytime comfort and low-ceremony dining, not a dressed-up dinner. Great Divide Brewery & Roadhouse is the pick when beer, volume, a relaxed room matter more than a steakhouse setting.
Coriander is the out-of-metro comparison, so it only makes sense if the cuisine brief matters more than staying in Lakewood. For first-timers choosing within Lakewood, Simms Steakhouse is the practical dinner pick; 240 Union Restaurant is the broader restaurant alternative, Great Divide Brewery & Roadhouse is the easier casual backup.
