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.

    Went there on Valentine’s Day before an event at the Garden. The whole experience exceeded my expectations! The staff was accommodating and attentive. We ordered calamari, onion soup, roasted chicken and steak. All the dishes were so freshly prepared. Everything came out in stages, piping hot. The onion soup was one of the best I’ve had in decades! Steak cooked perfectly! Roasted chicken was yummy. Most importantly, we got out in time for our event! 10/10. Will definitely be back!

    Our service was excellent. They put our group of 8 in a private room which was perfect. Chef was accommodating with making changes to a meal which was greatly appreciated. Everyone loved their meal.

    Johnnie's is very popular for all the right reasons. The food is so good, they have an incredible bar selection, and the service is always on point.

    Solid brunch spot, reasonable prices and came with a good amount of food. The only thing I want to suggest is to not go here on Reggae Sunday if you are hungover. When the live Reggae band was playing it was so insanely loud, I thought my brain was going to explode (this is mostly bc I was battling a hangover) if you too are fighting on Sunday morning after a night out maybe pick somewhere else 😂.
