We’ve dined here twice now, and each time has left us eagerly anticipating our next visit! Every dish we’ve tried has been absolutely delicious—bringing something fresh and much-needed to the local food scene. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is both stylish and inviting. We’re thrilled to have found our new go-to spot!

We had an amazing family dinner at Cork and Batter here in Simi Valley! 🍽️🔥 It was a beautiful afternoon—perfect timing to enjoy a meal with my 90+ year-old mom, my sister visiting from Florida, my nephew, and his daughter. Everything was delicious! The Brussels sprouts 🥦, cornbread with jalapeño butter 🌽🌶️ (a MUST!), mashed potatoes 🥔, mac & cheese 🧀, and the mango & peach teas 🥭🍑—phenomenal (we kept asking for refills, that’s how good it was!). We also had the brisket, tri-tip, and baby back ribs 🥩🍖—all cooked perfectly! Coming from Celina, Texas (home of brisket BBQ!), I can honestly say this place knows what they’re doing. The atmosphere is awesome—great setup with pool tables 🎱 and a chill vibe that definitely gives off a Texas feel! 🇨🇱🤠 We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food and a cool place to hang out! 👏🔥

The brisket is very good and the sweet potato fries are the best in Simi for sure. The service was great. The drinks are weak. Overall, this is a great new restaurant. Update... Went for the second time and met up with friends. We had a good time and enjoyed our meals BUT I ordered the same meal and was surprised when it came. This visit I ordered a full serving of brisket for the second time I received 3 times as much meat! Also, it had pickled onions, jalapeños, and pickles, which I did not get the first visit. See pictures. I'm a little disappointed as I was obviously short-changed on the first visit. Also, the presentation of the sweet potato fries was less appealing the second visit. That said, the food was very good, and I will acknowledge it is a new restaurant, and they are probably still working out the kinks.

We recently visited Cork & Batter and we had an amazing experience from start to finish. The vibes were great, with a relaxed yet lively atmosphere, perfect for a night out. The food, drinks, and customer service were all top-notch. As parents with three kids, we know how challenging dining out can be, but the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. I had the rib-eye, which was absolutely delicious – cooked to perfection. My husband tried the sampler, which was a generous portion, perfect for sharing with the kids and even enough for leftovers the next day. We went early, so we didn’t get to experience the live music, but we’ll definitely be back soon to enjoy that next time!

Not the best BBQ but good for Simi Valley. Food was served cold and had to ask for BBQ sauce which let the meal cook even more. Disappointed for sure. The cowboy corn was good.A half rack (6 bones) of baby backs was $25 . Yikes. I was really hoping for better.

So glad Cork and Batter came to SIMI Valley! We stopped into Cork and Batter Roadhouse last night and sat at the bar. We were greeted and had nice chat with the manager, Billy. The super proficient and friendly bartender Chrissy made us great drinks and took excellent care of us. We tried a delicious meat platter and had very yummy drinks. So glad this place opened in Simi Valley! We had one of the best experiences ever, and considering this is newly opened, it will just keep getting better and better. Great service, great food, tasty drinks, super liquor selection—and really fun place!

Went in to for a quick bite at noon to check out this new place. Positives are it’s set up really nice. Great atmosphere. Beautiful interior. Nice bar area. Was not too busy. I sat at the bar. Took 10 minutes to be acknowledged and I had to ask for a menu. Took another 10 minutes and I had to ask one of the 5 people around the bar how I should order. Took another 40 minutes for my food to come out. And it wasn’t busy. So an impatient hour plus to get my food. I ordered the rib tips that were described as crispy and juicy. Not crispy at all! What I would describe as a dozen rib pieces. Not really rib tips as I’ve had them before. Could see where they were torn off some rib bones. Pretty soggy and fatty. Three sauces. Disappointing for BBQ is that they don’t have a spicy BBQ sauce. The two BBQ sauces that came with it were on the sweater side. The told me the Carolina mustard is their spicy sauce but honestly it just tastes like French’s mustard. For $18 the 12 rib tips don’t come with a side so I ordered the baked beans that were very good. I’ll give it another try and change my review if things improve.

Excellent service and great food! We were the first guests in during their first Saturday and we were all very satisfied. We ordered the Family Platter for 4-6 and it was very good value. The platter could easily feed 4 bulking body builders, or 6 regular people. Most new places in Simi tend to close, but I hope this one stays!
