Burger bun was cold and stale. For $22, I'm expecting it at least warm.

Perfect location and chill vibe provided everything we needed for a delicious and filling bite before the evening's activities.The cozy ambiance, excellent service with reasonably priced elevated menu options is refreshing thus inspired my review and recommendation to definitely experience West End Johnnie's yourselves. I'll be revisiting soon and often to tryout more of the menu!

Went in there as “Steve Weave” there’s not much in there but it was fun by the way despite the food is overpriced, just remember me by when I am around, Steve Weevils may never know when I’m going to stop by next. Family Guy experience is alright in my book

Perfect place to dine before an event at the Garden, and we saw other NIN fans there, too. I enjoyed the fish and chips and my husband liked his meal, too. Well-chosen brewed beverages and a variety for everyone.

Always enjoy this place, went to the Family Guy pop up last night and it was really fun, really well done. Great cocktails. This place always has good food, really enjoy the cocktail they made with tin cup bourbon.

Classic restaurant. Got the clam chowder, it wasn't the best I've ever had but it was OK. For main meals got steak tip dinner and a portobello sandwich. The flavor was OK, a bit underseasoned so it just fell flat a little. Food seemed very fresh, all homemade from scratch and cooked perfectly. Portions were huge, prices are a bit steep! Got in without reservations, you have to enter through the Drunken Clam. Wait staff was very polite and did a really good job. Overall I would go again.

The best thing about this place is the pop up events, this review is focused on the family guy one.

You have to go on a Wednesday (trivia) or Thursday (karaoke) or else I don’t think it’s worth the cover. It’s nice that there is a drink included, the family guy cocktail options are all fun. But there is not much to do besides a few photo ops. Without the added entertainment I would not spend your money on it.

Stepping into West End Johnny’s during the Family Guy pop‑up is like being transported straight to Quahog’s fabled Drunken Clam think glowing neon signs, red booth seating, and immersive sets like the Griffin living room, Stewie’s bedroom and the Channel 5 news desk. Themed cocktails like “The No No Noooo,” “Shut Up Meg,” and “Cool Whip” are cleverly crafted and tasty, and the “Eat My Junk” menu brings tongue‑in‑cheek fun with items like the Good Old Fashioned Value Burger and Greased Up Deaf Fries. Add in trivia nights, karaoke, and themed Easter‑egg sounds around every turn, and it pulls off an unbelievably playful, nostalgic experience that’s more than just a pop‑up it’s a fully interactive Family Guy party you won’t forget.

My wife, my daughter and I came here for dinner before concert. It's a block or 2 walking distance from TD garden. Nice location, nice ambiance. Service is as quick, efficient. Food was excellent. The. Pineapple chicken sandwich was delicious. I'd recommend it especially for those attending game or concert or just touring north end!!

This review is for the Family Guy Experience event hosted at West End Johnnie’s. Unfortunately, it felt rushed and poorly planned, as if it were thrown together at the last minute. There was nothing particularly unique or memorable about it, and overall, it lacked the creativity and attention to detail you’d expect from something tied to such a well-known show.

The food was just okay—not enough to justify the cost or make up for the lackluster experience. If the organizers want this to succeed, they really need to put more thought and care into the execution. Right now, it’s just not worth your time or money.

If you're looking for a bar to have a drink it is fine. If you're looking for food definitely not worth it. The menu has six things on it and service is incredibly slow. We sat down at 4:30 to eat there were 4 other parties in there. The waitress took our order dropped off our drinks and food and never came back. We finally flagged her down for our check she ended up giving us a check and credit belonging to another table. She was extremely unfriendly. They also booked a graduation party in the bar during dinner time on a Saturday. All the party goers were standing in front of the bathrooms so you could not get to the bathrooms.
