Good food, pretty diverse menu and a fun atmosphere! It's usually pretty crowded on a weekend night and the wait for a table can get long but the drinks are good (fish bowls are awesome) and the prices are fairly reasonable. We went for dinner this Friday around 7 and put our names down for a table and sat at the bar. The wait was probably about 45 min for a table of 6. Once we were seated we ordered and the food came out very quickly. Service was decent, we did have a hard time getting more drinks once we were seated. The food was really good, no matter what you're in the mood for you should be able to find something on the menu. read more

Not too bad of a dinner place to stop by. Service: Average, hostess and servers are attentive. Responsive when needed. Food: Average, I got the steak tips and was slightly disappointed. It was overly sweet, the side vegetables were too salty and the fries were not really special. Atmosphere: Average, it's a nice place to chill and meet up with friends but it is a bit loud, so not a place to really have talks. read more

Assembly - Steak tips - American Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

This is a nice bar but I have never experienced such poor customer service. Do not go here if you want nice service.

The food was good, the drink service wasn't bad either. They billed my card for another bill that was not mine. I found out about this two days later when I reviewed my Credit Card bill. After calling back, they were able to tell me that it will take up to 7 days to put back on my card. Ruined a good experience at the place. If the waitress would of just told me when I was there, instead of me having to follow up I would not of been upset. Beware! read more

My husband and I dined here last night on a whim. We originally were searching for seafood on the Wollaston shoreline, however this place caught our attention. The atmosphere was just what we were searching for. Very laid back, live music, and sports on every TV. Now let's get to the most important part, the food. The food was not to die for...however it was not bad. I loved my broiled salmon, and my asparagus was cooked exquisitely. But my husband's dish was simply not acceptable. He ordered the fish and chips, which is not something that is hard to prepare. I don't think I have ever not liked this dish anywhere. But the fries tasted like they were made a week ago and thrown into the microwave. I'm not trying to be rude, but this did not taste like the crispy hot fries one would expect. At this point we were a little buzzed and were enjoying the music so we didn't bother to complain. Overall I had a great time and absolutely LOVED my meal. But.... how can you mess up on fries? We'll try it again next time. read more

Assembly - American Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

Was visiting a friend in the area looking for a good Sunday brunch spot. Wow did we find one! Loved everything from the brunch cocktails which included DIY Bloody Mary bar and also brunch punch made with Gatorade! Short rib hash was amazing and my friend had the open faced steak sandwich which she also loved. Was tempted to try their hangover pizza, maybe next time.. I was also very surprised at the amount of local craft beers they had there as it's been a while since my last visit and don't remember them having a great selection. Even the service was great considering how busy it was. All in all 5 stars, can't wait to go back! read more

The overall ambience was nice/enjoyable. And knowing that this restaurant mainly serves American food, I decided to try their chicken tikka masala, however I knew that it wouldn't be authentic. I will say that it did taste good, but it was pretty much a curry instead. Just disappointing that they would put dishes on their menu from other cultures but don't prepare it in an authentic way. read more

Consistently delicious. Fish tacos are my favorites and my boyfriend gets the turkey tips. Service could be given with a smile and more attentiveness but the food is the reason we continue to come back. read more

Good food, clean and modern place, more than just a bar for sure. I would have given this place more stars, but I am disappointed that they have a bunch of high tops at the bar that they will kick you off of (speaking from experience) unless you order food. Although I understand their thinking.....it just makes no sense. I understand if you take a table at the bar, then you should use a server so they can make a living. However, it is common knowledge that drinks yield more profit than food. This is close to some very large offices, and we enjoy heading to the local spot for a few quick drinks after work from time to time, but everyone seems to agree that it is strange that we cant take a couple high tops to congregate. read more

I really like this place, they have a great atmosphere and very nice staff. I wish they had a few more vegetarian options that were on the healthier side. They have a great rotating beer list, this has been great for me and a hit with my friends as well. read more

I have had the fries a few times there lately. Please change the oil more frequently. The are burned in the out side and uncooked in the In the inside. It's been the same problem for the past month. read more

This is a horrible place because of the hostess!!!! We got off a flight from LA (6 hours) then headed to Assembly to watch the Super bowl. Since the Patriots were playing, we thought our neighborhood bar was going to welcome us with an amazing ambience. No! No! No! We were very wrong! The hostess at the door barely wanted us to walk in despite empty tables. Then she won't manage the 2 tables with 3 customers to give us space. We had to do it ourselves and ask a nice gentleman to join him. Then she denied us ordering dinner!!! If it wasn't for the waitress telling us that the kitchen will close, it would have been horrible! She wanted us to wait till after the game despite knowing the kitchen would have been closed. Going to Mcdonald is a better idea for next time! read more

Two words.. fish tacos.. two more words... five stars! But seriously check out these martinis! Great food and drinks this is my new spot!

I moved to the neighborhood recently and hoped this would be a good place eat and drink. I'll echo the other reviewers by saying the customer service is not good. The manager guy walked past me a few times as I waited for acknowledgement. The hostess sounded downright hostile as she greeted me. The food is meh, but at least they have good craft beers. The blonde with the long ponytail behind the bar is the only one good at service. I'll try it again, hoping it gets better but I'm not holding my breath. read more

I always come here on Sundays for the Bloody Mary bar. I usually sit at the bar because the bartenders are much more prompt than the waitresses on the floor. My past experience we sat at a booth and our waitress was absolutely miserable. Didn't greet anyone just approached the table and asked if we were ready to order drinks. I had to ask her for a water three times before getting it, and even then it took the table pushing all of our empty drinks to the end of the table to get her attention after 20 minutes of them being empty. We were all eating our meals with no drinks and got about half way through before they arrived. I love the food, and love the bartenders, however your servers on the floor have been lackluster for as long as I have been coming here. Please either fix your training procedures or hire more approachable people. Lesson learned: only sit at the bar. read more

Hands down the best brunch place in Quincy! The build your own blood mary bar is incredible (bacon? Mozzarella sticks? Its unreal!). I get the wake up tacos every time and they never disappoint , but I noticed they went from homemade home fries to bagged/frozen ones... :( Hopefully they switch back because I love everything else about this place! read more

We live within walking distance so come here a lot. The food is always amazing and the service is consistently terrible.

The old Murphy's Pub on Hancock Street New look, great food and a good place to watch a football game. Service was friendly and prices reasonable. I enjoyed my burger and Guinness! read more

I agree with Emily D. I was SUPER excited to see a new, cool place in N. Quincy. The atmosphere was great. I went in on a Friday night to meet a friend for dinner/drinks. There was a short wait, so we saddled up to the bar for about 15 minutes. The crowd was mixed- locals, younger, older, etc. I got the turkey burger and it was just OK- nothing to write home about. The pizza looked really good, though, so next time I stop in I'll make sure to try that. read more

The only good thing about Assembly is the location. My co workers and I come here often for after work drinks since we work so close. The ambiance is nice as well but that's pretty much it. Food is mediocre. it's your typical bar food. The fries are actually pretty good though. Cocktails are okay but the beer list is just lacking. It'd be nice if they threw in a few craft selections here and there. But the real reason for the 2 stars is the service. I've been here countless times and service has always been sub-par. I've noticed that the younger servers love to congregate in the back left corner to gossip and mingle. If you're going to do that, at least stay out of sight of the customers or act like you're doing something. read more

Amateur hour at the Assembly. I gotta agree with Ryan's review and it sucks writing this cause I live so close to this place that looked promising. Service from a particular waitress was terrible and the worst part was, the waitress and the manager were made clearly aware of the shortcomings of the service and didn't put forth the effort to make it right. I get it, we all have off days and that's fine, but when you find out that even the manager doesn't give a flying puck about your complaint and doesn't offer a resolution, then that's a HUGE problem. read more

Assembly is night and day from the cheesy, award ceremony assemblies you grew up with. This place is a nice change for North Quincy. Honestly, I am a fan because of the amazing decor. The lighting fixtures alone give this place a cool hip vibe. The exposed brick doesn't hurt either. The beers are cheap at $4! The nachos are yummy and loaded with toppings, the fries are served in a tiered holder (sort of like an ice cream cone holder), the buffalo chicken pizza was not my favorite but mostly because I didn't realize it would come with bacon on it. Now for the major downside. It seems like they hired newbies because the service feels so lack luster and slow. read more

Came here for dinner with hubby. The place was packed and we had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. The waitress was friendly enough but the service was slow. We ordered the wings and nachos as appetizers. The wings were good, the nachos not so much. It was so dry and over baked. I ordered the surf and turf and only the steak tips came out. The crab cake came out later but wasn't even hot. Overall the food wasn't as great as other yelpers have claimed. The restaurant was extremely loud with the bar and TVs. Also, I noticed the waitresses kept flicking and touching their hair and then serve. As long as I don't see it happening then I'm ok, but sadly I did. We probably won't come back and give it another try. read more

Chicken Tacos with that addictive Chipotle Sauce for the win! So so so good! And the fall white sangria was seriously tasty as well. Service was a little slow starting out - took a while for the server to come over and greet us but shaped up from there. Everyone I was with was very happy with their food and the Halloween decor was really cute - not over done, just enough for some seasonal fun. I would love to come back here and try other menu items, so many things caught my eye. Loved that there was easy parking in the area as well, always a plus! read more

Great make over, unfortunately the crowd is a bit too douchey for me...put your collars down on your polo shirts fellas, this isn't Southie.

The fact that they sometimes have live musicians and that a handful of my old friends from high school hang out here are the only good things of which I could think to be able to give this place so much as a single star. Other than that, this place is really just awful. It seems to attract some very rude people who just look at anyone who appears different from them like they don't belong there, and if you're by yourself, you're basically screwed. Allow me to vent about this one particularly BAD experience I had one Sunday night. I am an avid user of my TouchTunes iPhone app, and so I played a few, mind you, JUST A FEW songs on the jukebox with it, and then a group of a**holes started complaining like a bunch of big babies when the first one came on (not surprising, since they were RAP fans), and when they went so far as to make a fuss about it to the female bartender on duty... My goodness, I kid you not, she gave in, and handed THEM, the customers, the remote control that allows the staff to bypass songs, and, needless to say, they skipped the ones I played, that I PAID MONEY to play! Plus, NONE of the songs that I played were even remotely anything that would have frightened the average person. The heaviest it got was AC/DC! Also, when their stuff (which, by the way, I hated with a passion) was playing, I didn't even make the slightest bit of a fuss; I just endured it like an adult would do. Typical RAP fans - they just cannot accept anything that differs from their taste even the slightest, and when things don't go their way, they throw a tantrum. Such babies these guys were! However, when I told the bartender what the deal truly was, she was VERY apologetic, and told me that if she had known the songs were mine, she would not have accommodated these jerks in the way that she did. I understand some people might say that I should have told her that I was going to play a few songs before doing it, but the TouchTunes app is becoming more and more widely used, and it should become known. But still, nothing like this had ever happened to me before, and despite her apologies, I left no tip for my drinks. In fact, I wish I could have gotten my money back. I will NEVER come here again! NOT after knowing the type of scum this place can attract! Thank you. read more

Don't go here for take out. I spent over 50.00 on 4 different meals and they were all soggy and cold. I called the restaurant and spoke to the manager. His response was "I can't guarantee how our food will travel"which is true for the most part but all my food was awful. He was less than helpful and really could of cared less. It's very unprofessional in the restaurant industry to tell someone you can't guarantee your food will be good. It's too bad I really liked it there I guess I'll be taking my business to the four's from here on out. read more

So so food, expensive drinks. This place is great if you're with a person you don't want to talk to. The house music is so loud you can't even hear yourself think. My husband and I were screaming at each other just trying to have a conversation. Won't go again. read more

I love it here I don't know why they don't have more stars I used to come here for lunch and drinks after work all the time when I used to work in Quincy. The food is always really good their wings in particular are so good and juicy!! read more

I usually get take out from Assembly. Food taste good and price is reasonable with good portion. I usually get the steak tips and they are tasty. read more

Assembly does not take reservations but we were assured that our party of 9 would be able to be seated soon. There was a table open with capacity for six. It took my son suggesting that they add 2 extra chairs -- and nearly half an hour-- before the hostess could solve the problem (there was a banquette). Then the waitress walked back and forth past us for another 10 minutes before taking our order. It was very frustrating. It's a real shame because the food was very good across the board (and not just because we we were starving by then). The menu is really broad; everyone found something they liked. The scallops and braised ribs were especially well received. Nobody was interested in dessert, though, because it had taken so long. I recommend the restaurant for the food, as long as you're not in any hurry. read more

The food is really not good and the service is so rude from the hostess/manager to the servers. This has happened on multiple occasions too. Over this place. read more

Service was awful! We came here on a Sunday for lunch. It was definitely on the busier side. It took about 10 minutes before the waitress even came over to greet us and take our drink orders. Food came out of the kitchen pretty quick though. Once the food came out, our waitress kind of just disappeared. We asked for another round of drinks. And she never came back with them until we were almost done with our food. And we also were left to find our own ketchup, which I thought was pretty ridiculous! read more

I love Assembly! Great Staff and Awesome food. You are always guaranteed a GREAT Meal in an Cozy Modern restaurant. They have a great rotating Beer list from Local IPAs to Sour beers. Weekends they usual have an amazing Fillet special. LOVE LOVE LOVE read more

Loved the steal tips at this place! Good service though it was crowded and I always think of those steak tips and coming back

I should've know better. The bar changed from a dive bar known as Murphys to Assembly. I think everything changed but the food. Terrible! I liked Murphys. Atleast the food - value was better. I call this the Lincoln - Southie of Quincy. Yes. Great atmosphere. Yes. Great beer prices. But the worst food eva! Turkey burger was like styrofoam and the fries were well, well, well, hell overly done. I've eaten here a couple times but tonight seals the deal. Never ever again! read more

I went to Assembly on two occasions recently. The first time I took my brother who was visiting , to assembly for dinner and beers. The place has a ton of potential. I liked what they did architecturally. The bar is situated nicely and there are various tables with bar stools situated up front near the large glass windows that open to the street. The TV's where large and perfectly situated. We sat at the bar. I ordered a Magherita pizza and my brother the Fish Tacos. I received a cheese pizza which was not what I ordered. I wasn't in the mood for drama so I ate it. it was decent. My brother said that his fish tacos where just OK. The 2nd issue I had was the tap beer. it was definitely not cold enough. it wasn't warm but not really cold. I went there a 2nd time a few nights later and the beer was a proper temperature. It would seem, that if they could bring someone in to run the kitchen and manage the bar a little better, that this place could really take off. A bar that looks this nice should have above average food. The food at assembly is not above average. read more

Assembly was actually a pleasant surprise compared to what it was ( Murphys) the inside has had a complete renovation, its clean, and I love that all the windows open to the sidewalk, the food is yummy I have tried the Beef Skewers, Fish tacos, the cranberry walnut salad with white balsamic dressing is my favorite! A great healthy choice. Every server or Bartender I have had has been very informative and friendly :) read more

Good food, but awful service. This was my second visit and I was hesitant because the first visit had poor service as well. The table did not have napkins or silverware when we were seated. This theme continued through the appetizers and we had to ask specifically for those items. Service visits were at least 15-30 minutes apart. We were delivered food and didn't see service for the next twenty minutes. Then from the time we finished eating it took 30 minutes to clear the plates and then another 10 to get the check. The waitress spent most of the time talking to friends or customers at the bar and not really paying attention to seated customers. read more

I love their brunch menu. The short rib hash is DELICIOUS! A must try if you're looking for a good hangover yet tasty cure. Some of my other favorite dishes consist of the the crispy fish tacos and the southwestern wrap. Their wine pours appear to be more generous than most places around the area and everything is very reasonable priced. read more
