Lots of regulars here - sitting at the bar - always. Cool decor inside. The food is consistently good - burgers, sandwiches, pizza - all of it. Service is fast and friendly too. Classic dive bar scene. read more

Kono's, great early morning conversations, Kono's opens at 8a. Even with a lot of morning regulars at the bar, still welcoming. Excellent service, love Ashley, Donna, and Tonya. South shore pizza ! read more

Johnny Kono's Bar & Grill - Bars Near Me - Weymouth, Massachusetts

My wife and I went here for lunch and the place was packed. It's a small place but a great, dive bar feel. The woman behind the bar was also taking care of tables and she was awesome! Very fast and somehow stayed nice while busy. Sandwiches are the thing for this little place. Great sandwiches. But don't come here expecting fancy beers or fancy people. It's just a great little place for regular folks. read more

Stopped in just after playing a round of golf nearby. Bar was hopping at noontime! We sat in the dining room. There seemed to be only one server who was also tending bar. I wished I'd gotten her name--she was amazingly doing it all! On her recommendation, I had the Turkey Gobbler sandwich with THE best onion rings. My friend had the cheeseburger sliders appetizer as a meal. We both loved the food! My turkey was real and the cranberry sauce homemade. Bar was vibrant--loud music and even louder patrons who'd maybe had too much liquid lunch, but the vibe is good and the food terrific. read more

The food here is amazing. The service is always great. The place is the perfect dive for food in drinks in the area!

I don't get the hype. I see many people like this place. my arm stuck to the dirty bar, and the pizza tasted like cardboard, with canned sauce. maybe I was there on an off night,.... both times . bar tender was friendly, and quick....thats about it. read more

Based on the reviews I was stoked to try this place. What's better than a dive bar with great food? But the food wasn't great. The clam chowder was terrible. Watery, no flavor. The rest of the food was okay, but the burgers, potato skins, and pizza were average. There was nothing memorable about the taste that would make me dream of my next visit there. But the service was fantastic. The place has this wonderful small town vibe. I just wish the food was as good as the ambience. read more

Consistency is key and I wish this place had it. Even with the inconsistencies, I still love this really cool tiny spot! I've had the most perfect bar pizza here; thin crispy dough, great sauce/cheese combo and nice lacing. And I've also had what seemed more like greek pizza with thicker dough and no lacing. I've had delicious chicken wings while my friend had a feather sticking out of hers (yikes). The fried chicken sandwich is probably one of the best I've had anywhere, but on the flipside, my burgers always get overcooked for medium-rare. The nachos and tater tot nachos are above average, however the tater tots and fries that come as sides with your meal are sad in comparison. It's hit or miss. Overall, I'd still recommend checking out this fun little spot. read more

This place is a 5 star dive bar! It's not even that divey! Back in the day, Alumni cafe in Quincy was way dive-ier. I like Konos better than Poopsies. Plain cheese bar pie for $9.50! I crushed this entire pizza . Great stuff. read more

The buffalo wings here are super good. I really like their food in the waitresses are really nice.

A review of Kono's wings. On the menu the wings are listed for 17 dollars, they ended up being $23 which is a little prices. Just be honest with the prices. They were pretty good and meaty. The service wasn't terrible for a pickup. But there is no access to the pickup station. It's across the room and you have to sift through all the people to get to the register. It needs rails for people night at the bar and moved near the entrance. I literally had to climb over people to get a pick-up. We pickup to avoid dealing with people, you are forced into the riff raff to get your order. The thought crossed my mind to walk away, but I was already there and didn't want to waste food. The pickup time was accurate which is a plus. The place is way to small for the amount of people. Perfect if you live across the street, but not worth driving to.. read more

We went there last night, Tuesday around 6:30 for dinner. The waitress totally ignored us. after about a half hour without even an acknowledgement even though she was at the waitress station right beside us we got up and left. It was not crowded Will not be back. read more

My fiancé and I moved to Weymouth a few months ago and one of the first places we went to eat was Johnny Kono's. At first, we were thrown off by how few tables there were, but once we settled in and the food started coming, it has become one of our favorite places to eat. The El Chapo wings are some of the best we've ever had, great spice and flavor with a some acidity to tie it all together. The burgers are incredible, even the Louis lunch burger, which although very simple, always is delicious. They really live up to their claim of being a "Five Star Dive Bar." We're excited to keep coming back and trying more menu items. read more

service could be better - - we were treated lousy... We will miss going there because the food is great...

True Score: 4.5 Stars Great Spot Just like the name says Johnny Kono's is a dive bar. The food is excellent and the drinks are good. It is decorated in a Key West theme. The bar is the spot to be plenty of regulars and new friends alike. The food is good with some imagination. I had crab (pretty sure blue crab) tacos and the chicken parm calzone. The 2 tacos serving while good not an entree for me. The chicken was huge. My take on Johnny's is if one is looking for a place with comfort food with pleasant service you will be happy. If you are looking for a place with some ambiance, cloth napkins, nice silverware, many healthy options or you would be uncomfortable in a basic bar environment it may not work for you...perhaps take out would be better. Overall, we really enjoyed Kono's. Very solid food, strong drinks, cheap beers, and some great music on the jukebox. Add in some super friendly diligent service and really got something here. Wish we lived closer. We'll seek the place out again when we're in the area. Thanks read more

Good food and a friendly staff. It had a very nice neighbor joint feel. It was busy, but the service was very attentive. I will be returning. read more

Love konos! Great food great service awesome bar definitely check it out, special menu is always full of creative and delicious options

First of all, what the hell? There's a door for "Dining Room" and a door for "Baaaaar" (no typos) and both sides are connected through the neckdid, and neither sits more than twenty comfortably. But the food! Cheesesteak swimming in the goods, and on really solid bread, with a side of tots for like $10. Wife's burger was bacon loaded. Bottled Bud Lights (don't judge, it works) were ice cold, and as a testament to the local day drinking scene, not a seat was empty on a Friday at 11am. At the bar. Before noon. Anyway, this place shouldn't be called a dive. Mostly because they serve food, and it's damn good, but they are, so yes Johnny Kono, you are indeed a five star dive bar. A good day, sir. read more

My wife and I and another couple enjoyed our time mainly because of our Server Meg. It was busy as we sat to eat but Meg made sure we were seated comfortably. Meg was very busy with many guest but she remained attentive to us and others. Meg was very pleasant and didn't seem overwhelmed. The pub style menu was as expected and very delicious especially our burgers. The servers behind the bar were also as pleasant. As a self proclaimed "Dive Bar" it was very welcoming. Even the bar crowd was gracious to open seats for us. We definitely will revisit Konos and hopefully Meg is available. Families were welcomed at Konos. Give it try. Thanks Meg!! read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now. There are always cars out front so thats a good sign. Walked in and it's all men at the bar and it was packed on a Monday afternoon. We sat at a table in the restaurant side. Ordered two specials. One was Corned beef Reuben and cheese burger with blue cheese. One came with fries One came with thin onion rings. Burger was very good but the Corned beef Reuben was excellent. A LOT of meat in it and very tasty. They have alot of TV's and keno. Would be a great place to watch the Pat's game. Definitely a Townie bat because everyone knew everyone. Definitely going back even though we aren't Weymouth Townies! Wish I took a photo of my Corned beef Reuben. Next time!! read more

Me and the wife decided to go for a drive to see if we can find a place for a beer and some food for lunch. This place just popped up and man we were glad we found. Place is small but pretty cool with the decor. Beers were SUPER COLD and food was good as well. Definitely will be coming back to try out other dishes. read more

This review grade is based on service food was very good. A road trip took us to the Scituate area. Looked for a local place to have lunch. The description of Johnny Konos was exactly what we were looking for...a place with a cool local vibe. Johnny Konos is like a surf shack...think Beachcomber but much smaller. The place was def full of local residents but wasn't uncomfortable. We ordered lunch. Food came out hot and delicious. We all ordered different. I had a special and a side of onion rings. Onion rings were thin and crispy and cooked to perfection. I didn't order a cocktail but they had some fun sounding drinks. Other orders were the Mother Clucker sandwich which had a huge breaded chicken breast, the long board burger, and the turkey sandwich. Great portions and all enjoyed their meals. Okay, the negative part was the waitress. I was willing to overlook some of her attitude but when it came to the check she angrily refused to split it up with several credit cards and in turn gave us separate checks. Not a big deal, more work for her. Then before we left we asked her to take a picture of our table because we had out of state family with us, one of whom is going through chemo (and very obviously). Her reply was a snarky "You're going to have to wait 5 minutes". You might think I am nit-picking, and I might be, but this was the 3rd time we got attitude from her. To sum it up I would give the food 4 stars and the service 2. read more

Pizza and all food is very good at Johnny Kono's. Small place that is always very welcoming. Service is good too.

Bartender was amazing! We were at a table and didn't have a server but the bartender was incredibly accommodating and kind every time we came to the bar with a request or to pay. Food was great as well! read more

GLUTEN FREE PIZZA IS AMAZING!! Head to Johnny Kono!! They have a very laid back dive bar feel but this is certainly a hidden gem for food. Friendly staff and delicious so far Wings / burgers / wedge salads / pizzas all great. read more

The food is very good the portions are very good try it out it's a fun little place. I will be back there seafood looks delicious.

I don't have the opportunity to come to johnnys often. But every time I do eat here the food is amazing. I had the longboard burger with fries for $12.00 such a good price and great food. My friend had a broiled haddock with rice. He loved it. It's worth the trip. read more

Great food great service. Will be back Johnny Kono Burger is awesome Thank you for a great lunch read more

What a gem! I was going to "The World's End" in Hingham and heard Kono's had good South Shore bar pizza. Man, was I not disappointed. The inside is a surf-bar/dive feel with soft music and a mellow vibe. Lots of regulars having a drink or two around 2:30 in the afternoon. Ordered a pepperoni, salami and hot-honey pie with laced edges and holy fucking shit! This was a perfect pie! If you had a hammer, you could tap the pepperoni and it would shatter. The crust was perfectly caramelized with cheese and sauce and might have been the best part. If you order the pie's laced it might take 30-40 minutes. But it's 1000% worth it. On top of that, they had friendly service and a nice townie clientele. I'm a good 40 minute drive from this place but I am already in the process of planning my next visit. Thanks to the owners and the staff for a truly unique and amazing experience! read more

Cuz it not good bad me me meatbull. No thanx thatz all Know more to ad. Go for cheese sandwich. read more

We decided to try this place while driving through due to its high ratings. It was lunchtime on a Tuesday and the place was full. It was obvious this is where the locals go! The decor was like a surf dive bar and grill. There were some neat signs on the walls. The burgers and fries were great--two in our party had those. I had the Turkey club sandwich. It was pretty good--I was expecting deli meat and it was turkey breasts. The service was slow, but perhaps that's part of the ambiance and environment. Plus it looked like the one waitress was the bartender so she was busy. Definitely a decent place for lunch. And fun seeing a place that was filled with love from the locals. read more

I recommend it! Go for a drink and dinner and you won't regret it! If you like a dive bar with friendly locals, do it!

If you're looking to try a new spot that looks like great dive bar food, atmosphere and beer, this is NOT the place to go. The waitress seemed like she's the only one covering the dining room on a Saturday night, so we waited patiently. For an hour. The table next to us ordered extra fries and apps after getting their food and it came right out. They said wow it was so fast!! The waitress told them "oh yeah we just took it from the next order that was already ready." We waited so long and didnt even get one appetizer. We left after a half assed "I'm sorry I'lll go check on it" from the waitress but she only went and talked to her regulars at another table. She obviously gave our order of apps to the table next to us. It's not that she was so busy she couldn't handle it. This place only caters to regulars and treats you like sh*t if you're not. Don't come here. read more

Really great food, and fun menu in a dive bar setting! This is the type of neighborhood spot that you roll up in wearing whatever and can partake in some interesting people watching... BUT the food is great! read more

Nacho are an abomination. Sriracha sauce as a drizzle? On nachos?? No pico,no jalapeños? Please don't call these nachos. Hardly any toppings, looks big but all filled with chips with nothing on them. Pizza was ok. Far from what the reviews claim as the best bar pizza. Not even remotely close. Service is ridiculous. Sat dining room side. Waitress took forever and always seemed aggravated.. We sat with empty drinks for 15 min while waiting over 50 min for a pizza. Pizza came out with cheese already congealed. Clearly it sat there for a while. Two other tables had their pizza and finished while we waited for ours and they ordered right before us. We had to ask three times for the check. read more

Well, this is my kind of place. There is absolutely zero pretense, a thorough menu with lots of great options, an ample choice of beers, and Donna, an amazing server. I've been there twice - once last week and once today. Donna remembered me, my name, where I sat, and what I had to eat and drink last week. Also, this afternoon, she called almost every single person by name and asked if they wanted their usual. The only exception was a couple who drove more than an hour from Cape Cod just to have lunch here. It was like Cheers, but more crowded. Also, they have a very loyal following. Almost everyone I saw there today I also saw when I was there last week and they all know Donna's schedule. She's awesome. Last week, I had the Mowie Wowie Burger with fries and today I had the Attack Burger with Tater Tots. Both were good and more than I could finish in one sitting - to that end, they do not hold back on portions. Both burgers were hard to fit in my mouth and today's burger had an ample amount of bacon. They also crank out the food, so you're not waiting long. And, for whatever reason, I love that the majority of the regulars were drinking Bud Light, Bud, or Coors, and playing Keno over and over and over again. I'm definitely going back and getting the Bar Pizza because it looked incredible. If you're in the area, I'd encourage you to stop in and give it a try. Just be sure to use a GPS as the restaurant is in a fairly residential area and isn't the most intuitive place to find. When you go, I hope Donna is working - she's really great. read more

Good food and fun atmosphere!! We went there during Covid for the outdoor seating and remained customers as a result.

We stopped into this place today after seeing it on the Phantom and boy are we glad we did!! I can't believe we hadn't known about it just a town over from us in Quincy. I got the bacon cheese burger with cheddar with a side of crinkle cut fries and a side of thousand island dressing - (thank you! this is hard to find in most places). My boyfriend got the Mother Clucker Sandwich Just so he could just say the name 3 times! and he also got the crinkle cut fries (so good!) We both loved our sandwiches and I forgot to mention the chicken tenders we got before our sandwiches were so fresh and very yummy!! It's our kind of place! The beer was cold and a special thanks to Laura our waitress for making us feel welcome, we look forward to visiting again soon! read more
