About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Lively
Johnnie's is a collection of memories for all. Personally autographed pictures and genuine memorabilia of your favorite movie stars, politicians, athletes and musicians. Casual, upscale dining in a great location. Set on the side of the "Old West End" just blocks away from North Station, the TD Bank North Garden, historic Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market. The decor consists of a combination of light and dark woods, copper, brass and luxurious leather with huge floor to ceiling windows that you must see to appreciate. The menu consists of contemporary American classics with various, multi-ethnic influences. We open at 4pm every Tuesday through Saturday for dinner,as well as our famous Reggae brunch from 11am to 3pm on Sundays. We are also open Mondays with Garden events and we do open early for afternoon games and concerts. For reservations of groups larger than 6, please call to check for availability.

    Can’t go wrong with a trip to West End Johnnie’s. We were running a little late and I messaged them informing them, which they said they would hold the table for us, which was great! Much appreciated. Services was great, along with the food. The lobster Mac and cheese is my dad’s favorite. Great place to eat at.

    West End Johnny’s always delivers a great experience and given his location. It’s an easy stop before Celtics games. They seem to have some of the same staff year over a year, which is great to see.

    I made a reservation with ease a day before. The app and restaurant were excellent at communication! I had to change my reservation to 1 less person the day of. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed so I emailed them. I was shocked when they replied back to me immediately changing my reservation! Awesome! Then we got stuck in traffic on 93 and knew we’d be late so I messaged the restaurant on the app asking to hold my reservation and they responded immediately “no problem”! Amazing! We walked in and were sat immediately! A carafe of water already on the table, smart! Greeted by a pleasant young lady within minutes. Had drinks and salad within few minutes (all tasty and fresh) and entrees within 10-15! 3 of us got the pineapple chicken sandwich (delicious), hot crispy ff and 1 salmon dish was devoured! In and out in an hour! Music was great (rock) which we loved. 5 stars across the board! Well done! :)
