We are staying in Mansfield for a dance competition and we looked for a decent place to eat. We landed on Genos and so glad we did! We walked into the "bar" side, and a super friendly and funny staff member, Melissa, greeted us and helped us get settled in the restaurant side. Ed helped us get started with menus, drinks and food, and was funny, personable and fantastic. My mom and I ordered off menu and they were able to accommodate us without issue; a chicken cutlet sandwich with lettuce and pickles. My friend got a steak and cheese. The French fries were to die for. YUM! The place itself was a little dated, but in a fun way. Very clean, very comfortable. When we were leaving, they were setting up for karaoke. Definitely will return for this! I'm not sure why there are any bad reviews for this place. We would DEFINITELY return! 10 out of 10 recommend! read more

Geno's Restaurant & Lounge - Chicken cutlet sub with French fries - American Near Me - Mansfield, Massachusetts

Good bar to grab a drink and some pub grub. Mostly a local place but everyone was friendly.

Disappointing Food Talk about an establishment that is right up my alley. A bar/restaurant with the bar separated from the dining area. It looks like 1982 in this place. Cool bar with old school lighting. Service was great and the staff is very friendly. Now the problem, the food. Sad to write this but antipasto with American cheese, chicken parm sub with frozen chicken patties, and a philly steak sub with low grade beef. The prices are good and the atmosphere is cool. If the food was decent this would be a 4 star review. Go for drinks. read more

Food was Fantastic. Friendly service. Seafood was great. Veal Parm was excellent. Very nice Italian sauce. Two thumbs up! And I am Italian! We ate at the bar and enjoyed the company in a very comfortable and inviting setting. read more

Really enjoyed dinner here. Really good Italian sauce on the pasta. I got a pasta combo with meatball, sausage and eggplant. Loved the sausage. Great service. Staff very friendly. First time here but will definitely be going back read more

A hidden treasure!! The food is excellent and the staff are absolutely wonderful. The owner made a point to go around and check on each table - such a rarity these days. Our first visit, but certainly not our last. read more

Amazing place for meatballs and Veal Parm! It also has a great atmosphere! The staff is extremely friendly.

Excellent food, drinks, service, clean and nice atmosphere. Very pleasant employees.

Geno's was a great place to be on Saint Patty's day! The bartenders were two very nice ladies and the place had sweet locals in. The rolls there were also delicious. Great place!! read more

Worse experience even,... Can food, horrible taste, such a disappointment,... I would not recommend this place. Tried pasta (over cooked and horrible plate) and salade (canned veggies and nothing fresh) read more

Great neighborhood restaurant with some of the best clam chowder I've ever had. The staff is very inviting. Drinks are priced for the guy who's in it for all 9 innings, but doesn't want to break the bank. Pub food is good too! Wings, burgers, etc... brew city fries are extra crispy and seasoned. I definitely recommend this place! read more

We usually go to Geno's to hear "Scuba" Steve play. We have been there many times despite the fact that it is a couple towns away. Geno's is the cleanest establishment I have ever seen. I went to the restroom and was pleasantly surprised at the condition. The floor, walls, sink, mirror all spotless. There was soap in the dispenser, paper towels in the towel dispenser and the hot air dryer worked. The hot spigot actually provided hot water and the trash can was not overflowing. When I returned to the bar area I looked around at the counter behind the bar, lights, fans, mirrors and AC/heating vents...all were immaculate. The bar seats about 10 and there are six tables in the bar area. The draft beer selection is about average with at least one microbrew. They have a good selection of liquor and wine. Flat screen TV's line the walls and can be seen from any seat. Prices are competitive. The restaurant area is separate from the bar and is much larger. It appears to be kid friendly. The food is very good. The evening I was there the entire place was packed and the bartenders did a great job of keeping up. I wish I lived closer, I would be there every week. read more

Geno's Restaurant & Lounge - a man playing guitar - American Near Me - Mansfield, Massachusetts

I was recommended to this place from a karaoke friend. They have karaoke every Fridays. The 1st time I went I was immediately welcomed like family from the bartenders and the regular customers singing karaoke. I recently met the owners, and they gave me a warm welcome as well. Food is very good, drinks are a full pour, and affordable bar tab. Highly recommend!!! read more

Very friendly staff. Food is always on point. Nice local pub for drinks and food. My go to has always been their wing dings and onion rings.

If you're looking for a great home style ambiance with a great staff, welcoming owners and some great fish and chips, this is the place. Sit down for a delicious thick, fresh piece of haddock accompanied by great french fries and finally a coleslaw without so much mayo. I love the fish & chips here and it's the only place I'll go when I crave f&c. Great place, great owners and staff, these are the places we feel good about supporting our local businesses. Fish and chips, trust me. read more

Went there with a couple of friends tonight, quiet night but great, as I don't like crowding and that place can really get crowded on a weekend night. Ordered the prime rib and OMG! Soooo good! The owner cooled it for me. He did and amazing job. Checked on us to make sure we are happy with the food. Overall, delicious food and great service. PS on Friday nights they have a huge crowd and karaoke! It so much fun!!! read more

So lucky to have a hometown spot like Geno's. John makes homemade style food, has ice cold draught beer and entertainment every weekend. Thanks John and Cathy for being such great hosts to your town :) -Kim read more

Service was great, very friendly. Food unfortunately was very bland and underwhelming.

My Husband and I stopped in tonight and enjoyed a great meal. We ordered clam chowder, fish 'n chips, and spaghetti with their homemade sauce - It was delicious - Our waitress was wonderful and friendly. We will be returning for another meal soon! Stop in, you will not be disappointed. Kristine & Al Mansfield, MA read more

I am really sad to see the bad reviews at Genos. I come into town monthly and Genos is my 'go to' spot. The bartenders are super nice and as some of the other reviewers said they hard pour! YAY! The food is good, plenty good for the price. I like the fried mushrooms and fried jalapenos. I have tried some of the pasta dishes and left feeling full and happy. The owners are super sweet and always give me a nice welcome back when I return. Give Genos a chance. If your looking for a quiet place during the week for some drinks and snacks, I would highly recommend it! read more

This place was truly authentic with delicious homemade Italian food! I'm from Detroit and got lost on Yelp directions and ended up here by accident. Great accident! Best New England clam chowder to start. Custom made Italian sausage, meatball and sauce with penne pasta. All served up personally by late Geno's son Johnny Spezio. Great clean lounge and dining area , Boston area ambiance. Character that you can't franchise! read more

Geno's Restaurant & Lounge - Wednesday is pasta night! Homemade sauce with custom made sausage and meatball. - American Near Me - Mansfield, Massachusetts

I love the clam chowder. Nice and thick. The clams are tender. I also love the Veal Parm sub. Real pounded veal with sauce that is delicious and tastes like homemade. And the fish sandwich & fish and chip are awesome and fresh! (I'm fussy about my fish) I ordered the brew fries. They taste like old fashioned. It's a small place with old tyme decor . A small corner restaurant where the owner is really nice. He sometimes comes out and says hello and asks how the meal is. read more

We live right around the corner from Genos and we love the the people, the atmosphere, and most definitely the food. For anyone on YELP who's rated this place 1-3 stars based on a single experience with the, "Chicken Parmesan," or, "undercooked Prime Rib," is obviously on some quality medication that is quite significantly altering both their palate and their ability to make sound judgment. The Clam Chowder, Fish n Chips, and Rotisserie chicken is phenomenal here! The staff is always attentive and very personable, especially with my fiancée, who comes here when I'm traveling out of town. There's always quality entertainment here as well with karaoke. read more

I can only comment on the bar section of Geno's as I met some friends there for drinks and to listen to some music. It's a tiny space, but they did have a live guitarist that night. The bar side has only a few tables and maybe ten seats at the bar and has a homey feel to it. The two bartenders were attentive and quite friendly ladies. I was surprised there was no pizza, but the menu features other traditional Italian specialties, although I opted for an Italian sub. It was tasty, but came with mayo on it, which I would have preferred not to have - but I did order it with everything (including hots). Geno's is famous for their soups, and as our friend, the entertainer, introduced us to John, the owner, he refused to let us leave without some of his famous soup to go. Very un-"soup nazi" of him, eh? So, tonight, I will sample his chicken escarole soup, and I'm sure I'll be going back to Geno's to try more of his Italian offerings. read more

Went before going to a concert at Xfinity. The italian wedding soup was terrible broth had no flavor and celery was hard. The owner was sweet and delivered the food personally after cooking it. I got the Wed special soup pasta with choice of meatballs sausage or eggplant I chose the eggplant. Marinara sauce was tasty pasta cooked well eggplant was mushy. When owner/cook asked how the soup was I said celery was hard he said it was al dente no....not cooked. Waitress was nice but continually was apologizing because she had to cover both sides of restaurant. Sorry writing this place off read more

Good cozy bar/restaurant to get a few drinks and a cup of chowder. Service was good and the owners were nice, periodically checking to make sure we had everything we needed. All in all it was a good experience and I would go back. read more

Geno's Restaurant & Lounge - Clam chowder - American Near Me - Mansfield, Massachusetts

AWESOME SOUP!!! Family style restaurant reasonable prices, good serving sizes. And really good soup & chowder. Real good place to stop before a Game (it is across from the RR station). Plus if you like Keno ... Thanks Bev for the GREAT SERVICE!! read more

Genos is always a good (Go to place for no waits and a very consistent Menu). The servers are very nice and the Homemade Soups Rock! Very kid friendly. read more

Great place ! Very family oriented. Amazing food, love eating there. Clam chowder for days ! So good .

The review from Robert A must have been after he fell down and banged his head ! Geno's is a VERY clean nice place, good food great staff and fun crowd that goes there ...the catman ....well if you like drunk staff ,sticky floors and an iffy crowd you will be all set there read more

For a small place they serve good food good atmosphere a little tuff for the handicapped but you can get in and the prices were good over all a good place read more

Clean but very dated bar and restaurant. You can get lucky with a special but most of the food is just OK. Can get a better chicken parm sub at most pizza places, good clam chowder. Drinks and beers are cheap, I have never seen so many plasitic booze bottles in one bar, their high end wiskey is JD. Good whiskey pour for the price read more

This place has some good eats! They usually have some good things on the special board like shepards pie, fish sandwiches, etc... The waitstaff is very friendly and attentive. Food is generally inexpensive, but it seems like it is getting more pricey lately. read more

Gag me! Go right down the street to the Catman for the best food in Mansfield! The have the best bartenders in town and Thursday and Friday Prime Rib is to die for! Don't be startled by the 90 year old woman in the leather pants, she's actually quite nice. read more

Never been there but heard your chowder is the best. My intentions are to visit, Have a nice meal good drink and enjoy. I am so close and why I don't know never stop by. Well thank you I will see you soon. read more

They have amazing fresh haddock sandwiches. They are large sub rolls packed with large filets of haddock. The fish is not heavy in batter so you get more fish then anything. But when order make sure to say the "fresh haddock sub". read more

I plan on GOING to the restaurant....I tasted and LOVED their soups at the MMAS Southern Massachusetts concert-at Mansfields South Common Best Soup and Chowder of Mansfield on Sept 18th. I voted forboth of their soups-they were unbelievable. I just went online to see who won and who made the soup. I plan on eating it a lot. :-) read more

I live very close to Geno's and I pop in from time to time. I generally go over to the bar, which is very small but the staff is friendly. The owners are almost always there and will come up and say hello. Drinks are good, and the food is decent. They usually have a guy playing guitar on Friday and Saturday nights, which is a nice touch. It tends to be a bit of an older crowd compared to The Catman Café or Casey O'Connor's. I had a minor issue once with a bartender saying that I didn't pay my tab from the visit before, even though I had the receipt at home. I mentioned it to John, the owner, and he said it was all set and I didn't have to go home to get the receipt, which I thought was quite nice of him. I sometimes come over when I feel like have a few drinks to myself and maybe playing some Keno. Very friendly, "homey" type of feel. read more

The food at Gino's is absolutely phenomenal!! They took my order correctly they made sure that they repeated the order so there was no mistakes and I was very happy with the service! Definitely would go there again! read more

My family and I use to eat at Gino's at least once a week and the food was delicious. Then they changed cooks and the food was beyond horrible! The last time I was there, which was over a year ago, I ordered haddock which came out almost totally raw-I had taken 1 bite which had a bone in it, and then realized the majority of it was raw!! My husband ordered the prime rib which was always one of the best foods on the menu- this time, however, it was fatty and dry. I would not recommend Gino's for it's food. read more
