Oh yes, let’s talk Kilroy’s… during my visit home, my bestfriend and I were shopping as I prepared to fly out the next day and decided to do an airport outfit change. LoL. Understanding that we needed our bestie moment, I hopped on Yelp and searched for a “Good Chicken Sandwich” and at the top of the list was Kilroy’s. As we were so close we decided to walk over as I could indulge in what the reviews were calling a “must-try!”
Kilroy’s sits on the side street, however it is super easy to find. The ambiance of the square as a whole puts you in High spirits as the street is lined with local eateries. Upon walking in, the ambiance is super chill and was perfect for bestie time. The design is simple, yet plays on the deep gray of the inside with colored accent lighting. The floor plan is open and presents the high table setup with the black table tops. As it was just us two, and the smaller tables were taken, we decided to sit at the bar.
As soon as we were seated we were greeted by the smiling face of MaryKate. MaryKate welcomed us with excitement and truly set the tone for my Kilroy’s experience. I told her that it was my first time and I was excited to experience the “5 Star Dive Bar!” We laughed as sge provided us with menus and proceeded to take our drink orders.
As an avid Sweet tea drinker, I was hurt that they didn’t offer sweet tea, however, MaryKate took a superior customer service approach and told me she could make sure I got my sweet tea… when she arrived back with my drink, her blend of unsweetened tea and simple syrup was spot on and I was in sweet tea bliss!!
Scrolling the menu, the sandwich selection made it hard to choose as everything looked amazing. With a good chicken sandwich on the brain, I decided to order The Salem.
The Salem consist of Grilled Chicken, Romain, Tomato, Bacon, American Cheese, and Chipotle Mayo on a golden toasted bun.
I have One Word…WHOAAAAAAAAAA!!!
The grilled chicken was perfectly seasoned and grilled. The chicken was tender, juicy, and had the perfect amount of char on the outside without having compromised the inside. The bacon was meaty and crispy. The level of crisp on the bacon provided as the perfect texture shift as it was layered between the chicken and freshly cut tomato. The chipotle mayo adds a flavor burst that heightens the sandwich and takes it from good to GOOD! However, even with all of that, we count discount the role of the bun. The golden toasted bun seals the deal as the buttery inside glued together all of the flavor profiles, while the soft outside entices you to bite deeper anticipating every layer of the sandwich from top to bottom. Oh yes, this is a chicken sandwich done right.
Paired with well seasoned, golden crisp French fries, The Salem is a stand-alone champion as it makes you forget about the fries. LoL! However, the fries are def a main contender in the fight for taste bud attention.
Overall, Kilroy’s on the Square is my new go-to anytime I’m at my Bestfriends house. The Salem has the sun for now, however, I have my eye on The Wasp for my next visit. ?. Great food. Great service. Great prices. Great atmosphere. Great experience.
Until my best trip to Boston, I’ll dream of you, ‘The Salem’. ????????

Great spot. Bam is fantastic behind the bar. Tully's used to be here, an institution when Quincy was a heartland for ship manufacturing, but now is occupied by Kilroy's. A great spot to sit down for a sports game, or a casual meetup.

Every time I dine here, they always charge me extra when I open a tab. It appears as a separate charge of smaller amount even after the main charge settles with tip. This the second time Ive had to call to resolve this issue. DO NOT OPEN A TAB.

We live nearby, we were very excited to try the place. Since this spot has opened, it consistently has appeared busy, almost to packed to walk in at times. We decided to try it one Friday night and we were very happy we did!
The service was excellent, our server was very friendly and attentive. We dined in later (closer to 9 pm) and you could tell the place was starting to get more busy as the night went on, for people visiting for drinks only.
We tried a few different menu options. For drinks, I started with the “The McGinn”. I was told it’s not typically served on ice, but I did request ice. It was pretty strong, but tasty.
For food, we ordered the wings (Buffalo, not mentioned on the menu), The Winnie, The Wasp and The Kilroy. The wings were excellent, better than most in Quincy Center. The Winnie was very tender, it didn’t feel too heavy or fried as most fried chicken sandwiches do. The wasp wrap had a crunch to the tortilla, which was a nice touch. The Kilroy was great as well.
Overall - happy to have this space in Quincy center! Will definitely be back.

It's fine, wings were great. Kilroy (meatball sub) was ordinary, as was the salad, and street corn fries (steak fries with street corn toppings). One word for this place "uninspired". They identify as "a 5 star dive bar" but honestly there's nothing 5 star or dive bar about it. What's really weird is that it somehow feels smaller than Tully's, even though they got rid of the drop ceiling and added loft seating upstairs. Good for the area, but I won't feel the need to go back anytime soon.
