Reviews for West End Johnnie’s in Boston, MA
I went there for a birthday brunch to listen to some music which was great! On Sunday the reggae band was good. That's what... saved the mail. There was a group of us about 12. The waiter took everybody's order. I had the BLT sandwich and I ordered a nicebeer to wash it down. After one set from the music most of the food came. Couple of people did not get their food at all and oneperson sent back their food and got their replacement and those people who didn't receive their food from the original orderstill didn't get their food. Very disappointed in the service. The food was good and the band was good. That's why I gave themtwo stars. Other than that, no accommodations were made. We asked for the manager. No one showed up at the table and the peoplewho didn't get their food ended up leaving because we're hungry. Very disappointed after hearing such good things about theirfood. The entertainment was on point but everything else bad. I don't know if I'll be coming back or recommend anyone to comeback if they can't handle what they advertise Read more
Had the wings,they were great. The steak tip dinner was good,just wish mash potatoes had garlic or something added. They were a... little plain. The drinks were good too. Overall,we liked it there. Read more
I go to Johnie's every Sunday because of live Reggae. Conscious Reggae Band is hands down the #1 band in Boston metropolitan.... Food is great n drinks. You gotta find your own parking on the street. Sunday is great coz it's free. Many birthday celebrationshave happened here coz the band personalized it. I love it. Massive! Read more

Our party had a great time before a concert at TD Garden. There are lots of decent spots in the area, and I've been to all the... old school places over the years. I've also been to a few of the newer trendy ones. West End Jonnie's fits in perfectly and justmight be my go to from now on. Attentive staff, great food and reasonable prices, this place in my opinion is a truerepresentation of a real Boston bar, not quite a dive but not pretentious either. The owner made sure to come over and offer totake a picture for us unsolicited. Nice touch! The menu had all the real Boston choices with fish n chips, clam chowder and ofcourse authentic New England steak tips amongst their varied yet uncomplicated choices. Definitely order the buffalo chicken dipas one of your apps... They had a good selection of bourbon and tequila, and while not a ton of beer on tap, my choice of Lunchtasted like it was tapped that day and they had Whirlpool which is brewed like a mile away. Also of note, it was a very cleanrestaurant. Give this place a try. Read more
Inside the restaurant is loaded with sports memorabilia. We ordered the burgers and they arrived over cooked and with stale... buns. The service was great and they swapped the buns out. I would return for drinks but not for the food! Read more

Try the Fluffernutter French Toast with Ice cream will not disappoint.Place can get really packed though sometimes and wait times can be crazy. Read more
Johnnie and his bartenders are phenomenal people. Had a night that looked to be a bummer turned around and made into an... absolute blast. The hospitality was amazing and the service was even better. Definitely will be back soon. Read more
