    We came with 19 students and 3 teachers and the dinner was fabulous!!! They had the best staff- super friendly & helpful. Food was good overall- Mac and Cheese was terrible, but Potato Skins were beat we'd ever had! Lobster Roll was great, & so was Crab Cake burger. Kids all loved their food too! They forgot an item, but then gave a free lava cake, so again our service was EXCELLENT!

    Phenomenal place for dinner before a concert. The service, food, atmosphere, everything was fantastic! We had the fried salmon bites as an app - sooo good. The pineapple chicken sandwich was the best grilled chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. Just sooo good. I will def be back and HIGHLY recommend Fenway Johnnie’s

    We arrived early for dinner before a show at MGM but were seated right away. Nice selection of draft beers and cocktails. Our server Mary was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Food came out promptly and was delicious. Portions were generous without being excessive. (Slight deduction on ambience score for the recurring bangs of batbells(?) from the gym next door.) Prices as expected in the neighborhood but a better value than many we’ve had in the vicinity. We will definitely be back.

    Great place with great food and awesome music. The owner greeted us when we arrived (cool guy!) and we were sat right away. The service was friendly. He made a great drink recommendation. The food was delicious! (Chicken lollipops, ceasar with salmon, steak quesadilla and Caprese salad). And the music put us all in a great mood. Cool place and so close to Fenway. We will definitely be back on game days or concert nights.

    The Best place to go before a Red Sox game. There are so many great places to go in the area, but none compare to Johnnies. The owner is friendly and makes a point of ensure you feel welcome. The staff is friendly and the food is excellent! The world’s best potato skins and the fish and chips is amazing! Love the photos and local decor - our go to spot before every game!

    Nothing ruined our experience on the whole but I would recommend that there be a small selection of non-alcoholic beer for those of us that prefer non-alcoholic drink choices. Also-perhaps more kid friendly drink choices besides sodas.

    The place has a fun vibe for a sports bar. Great place to go to before a game. The food came pretty fast, which is always nice. The issue we had was the Johnnie’s House Burger that we ordered Medium Rare, was served Raw in the middle, not even rare. Don't get me wrong, I like my steaks Rare, so I'm not afraid of blood, but for burgers, I prefer medium rare. It was visibly soft flesh meat in the middle. I politely asked the server to have them cook it longer, and this time to make it Medium temperature. After waiting for it, it still came back as Rare. We decided not to return it the second time because it was pointless. Although, the Buffalo Chicken Dip was good. We chose this place out of all the other restaurants in the Fenway area before the Red Sox game to have dinner; it's too bad it didn't work out for us.

    The service was great as was the food. great spot to go and grab dinner before a Red Sox game. It has a pub like menu and atmosphere. It is only a couple of minutes from the front gate to Fenway. I do recommend this restaurant for before game dining.

    We had a reservation for 7:00pm. Showed up and the doors were locked. I tried calling the restaurant with no answer. Checked their instagram and it said they were closing for the night. Horrible customer service that they would close and not notify customers who had a reservation.
