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.

West End Johnnie's offers an "awesome atmosphere" perfect for sports fans and event-goers. Savor "amazing food," including the popular reggae brunch with its "fun atmosphere" and live music. While service can vary, the attentive staff often enhance the experience. It's a "hidden jewel" for dining near Boston Garden.

    Staff was great. Food was not. It was great to walk in and not be rushed before a Bruins game but there's unfortunately a reason that there's availability. Caesar salad that claims to have white anchovies has none and doesn't even have Caesar dressing but vinaigrette (if that). My burger was flavorful and cooked perfectly but a soggy bun wasted the effort. Bottled beer tasted old too.

    Love this place. Food is great and staff are so kind and attentive. Not sure why they cram tables so close to door. I get wanting to maximize space but makes for an unpleasant experience on what would otherwise be so great.

    We had a fantastic time. A friend recommended it and so happy we reserved a table there. Service was awesome. Great vibes and cool decor. The food was delicious. My family all eat differently and everyone got something they were very happy with. That rarely happens. Good value on pricing and portion size. Highly recommend

    West Side Johnnies is a hidden jewel near the Boston Garden. Great dinner, at a low price. Great service. No wait, even within an hour before the World Champion Celtics tipped off against the LA Clippers.
