Both times I've been here I've loved it! The service was great both times, the beer election is in point and the food is tasty. Great restaurant and bar for locals and friends. read more

Food was decent. Waitress and/or kitchen forgot our appetizers entirely! Someone other than our waitress brought out our meals, I explained that I had ordered appetizers (which I realized were taking an unusually long time to come out so I inquired and was told they'd be out soon), the lady said okay I'll go figure out what's going on. Turns out the kitchen just failed to cook any of my 3 appetizers. I said I'd wait for them I was told by the waitress at this point the kitchen was too busy to make me my appetizers. (There was a max of maybe 15 people in the restaurant) Terrible service and communication between staff. read more

My go-to spot when I'm out and about in Quincy. The atmosphere is fun and the staff is very friendly! The do-it-yourself Bloody Mary bar on Sundays is the perfect hangover cure! read more

Amazing brunch and great drinks gets real loud if the Pats are playing. Service was also great

I've been here a million times now and this place has yet to disappoint. Everything I've ordered has been delicious and the service is always amazing even when it's super busy. Whatever they are doing they are doing it right! read more

After my first visit to Assembly, I've got to say I'm a fan. The new decor is awesome, the lighting, exposed brickwork and layout looks fabulous. The staff were very friendly, although they were run off their feet with a full house early Saturday night. My husband and I ordered margaritas, and were a little surprised that the enormous bar does not have a blender, maybe they need a house warming gift from somebody. I ordered the chicken curry with jasmine rice, which was absolutely delicious. Subtle flavors, plenty on the plate and steaming hot. My husband ordered a cup of clam chowder (which didn't arrive till after the entree) and the salmon with onion rings and asparagus. He emptied the plate which suggests it was very good, the chowder went uneaten back to the kitchen. Every new place needs time to settle in the staff and systems to ensure a smooth running operation. I believe Assembly will be around feeding and making the people of Quincy and beyond happy for many years to come. Just try and get those appetisers out a bit before the entrees. read more

Living around the corner, I frequent this watering hole a fair amount. Not my favorite spot over all, but as far as Quincy goes its probably the only place I enjoy. Service is good, not great, food is good and reasonably priced for the most part. Beers are priced fairly, drinks and cocktails seem a bit pricy being served in a rocks glass for the most part, but you are atleast getting a cocktail and not a pint of soda with a splash of booze. I try to go here for games, but the sound is so muffled that you cant understand the commentary, If you guys have an equalizer turn down the bass. read more

Walked in at 7:30 on a Friday night and was given a 45 minute wait time. The hostess took my phone number to text me when my table was ready. She also repeated the number back to me to be sure it was correct. And she said it correctly. We went to wait by the bar. 1 hour later we still didn't have a table and others who came after us were being seated. I went back to the hostess to get the status of our table. The hostess said "I've called and texted you more than once and you never responded so we gave away your table" I asked her to look at the phone number and she had switched two of the numbers.... Needless to say we didn't stay. read more

Bartender is an absolute babe. My first sandwich here was a bit sloppy. Monterey chick lots of sauce. The thing is like a slip and slide cant wait to try somthing else read more

Solid food options. Service is good. The environment is cool. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area.

Great atmosphere, food and bar! Try the steak tips and the nachos, they will not disappoint!

Went there last Friday. Nice place. Cheese steak was really good. Prices were reasonable. I'll definitely be back.

This is one my favorite bar/restaurant. Beautiful place, great food and reasonable prices! Me and my husband have been here a lot of times and we were never disappointed. read more

Food was actually pretty decent, can't complain about the beer selection either. It's a perfect place for how close it is. Having a family in the hospitality industry and also spending time as a bartender and server myself, I don't rush to judgement if I have one bad experience. I gave it two more chances. Don't understand the smugness here. Must be a trickle down effect. read more

I've been here with family and friends on many occassions. The food is usually great, the service is above average and the atmosphere (although rather noisy on weekends) is comfortable. Highly recommend this to locals as an above average eatery. read more

Went last Sunday to watch Copa America and had a nice salad with sangria. Everything was really good and they even got rid of the music to have us listen to the commentators so we can enjoy the game. We'll return! read more

This is my go to spot whenever I want great food and great drinks. Service could not be better and the food is always great and the portions are great. If you're looking for a nice low key spot with a good atmosphere to grab some drinks and a bite to eat this is the place to go. read more

ZERO STARS if possible. Girlfriend and I used to be frequent guests but service simply has deteriorated with time. However, since the food was adequate, we continued ordering takeout. Nonetheless, last time we dined there, we felt it at its worst. We walked in after a couple and before another couple. Both couples were white meanwhile my girlfriend was Asian and I was Hispanic. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, we felt the resentment; we were treated different and not even acknowledged. The hostess reminded the servers about the other couples (the pair that came before us and the pair that came after us) but failed to remind anyone about us sitting at a table. The hostess was visibly seen using her cellphone and giving us her back; we waited for 15 minutes and decided to leave. No, I am not using the race card for that one incident; unfortunately, it's not the first time that we get treated inferior. The previous occasion, we had a server who was all smiles to the table next to us and simply didn't care to engage in conversation with us other than ordering our food and bringing us the check. And before that, same thing happened to me with my best friends. I had vouched for this restaurant so they were very excited to go to this place that I had spoken so highly of. All 3 of us, Hispanic guys, walk into this American restaurant and simply walked out with utter disappointment. The server's attitude and the lack of attention from the hostess were too much to bare with. Each single time, I kid you not, EACH SINGLE TIME that we have ordered takeout, our order gets messed up with the last occurrence being on 12/3/2018. Animals get better treatment than that and the fact that you can't get it right while eating there or simply ordering takeout not only prevents you from having repeat clientele, but it refrains them from complimenting your establishment and instead having to knock it down with negative feedback. Definitely not a place where minorities are welcome. read more

Decent beer selection and the giant TVs make it an ok spot to watch a game. But the food is ordinary at best. Last time I ate there, the menus were dirty (with stains from previous diners - gross), the service was slow, and the waitress couldn't have been less attentive. She was more interested in talking with friends at another table. Overall, not great. read more

We went to Assembly on 11/1/12, so the restaurant is still new and will hopefully improve over time. I don't usually bother to write restaurant reviews, I just won't go back to a place if I don't like it, but I'm thrilled to have a new place in Quincy near my house, so I'm hoping that they do well and stay in business. I was never a fan of Murphy's, but Assembly will be our new "go-to" bar if the food improves. Ambiance: The decor is fantastic. Very classy and a huge improvement over the standard Quincy establishments. It was packed on a Thursday evening, and we had a short 10 minute wait to get a table. It will be interesting to see if it stays popular after the "newness" wears off. Service: Our waitress seemed inexperienced, but the bartender/assistant manager assisted as needed. I would give her a 4 out of 10, he gets an 8 out of 10. I think this will improve over time. Drinks: For drinks we got beers and the "Assembly-tini" ($11) The draft beer was good, with a proper pour. The Assembly-tini should have been better since they named it after themselves. I ordered 3, and each one was made differently, which is not acceptable for an $11 drink. Food: For the appetizer we got the beef terriyaki sticks ($11, I think). They were fantastic and came on a little bed of rice. It was almost a meal by itself. We loved them and will definitely order them again. I ordered the shrimp scampi ($16) as my meal. It was a total fail. The shrimp were big and generous, but slightly overcooked. The pasta was a choice of penne or linguine, but I prefer angel hair pasta for scampi. The sauce was not scampi, I really don't know what it was, just a mound of onions and tomatoes, with what tasted more like marsala sauce. It was definitely not a garlicky scampi. I will not order it again. They should check out Cafe Tosca for a fantastic version of scampi, or rename this dish to better describe what you will actually be eating. My companion ordered the steak tips ($14, I think) (medium) with rice and onion rings for sides. What arrived was some medium steak tips, while others were completely rare, a big pile of rice, a big pile of gross looking carrots, and three lonely little onion rings. He really liked the steak tips (even with the cooking inconsistency) and the rice, and liked the onion rings, he just wanted more of them. We did not try dessert on this visit. Price: It was reasonably priced, but the quality of the food and drinks need to be improved to match the prices. Suggestions: The bar stools at the high tops don't have backs, and there were no hooks on the wall or under the table, so the girls had no place to put their purses. Every bar should have hooks! No one wants put their purses on a dirty bar floor, and we had to sit on our jackets the whole night. Overall: We enjoyed it and will definitely be back. Follow up: I meant to post this after my initial review, but I never got around to it. As I mentioned in my review, they did not make the "Assembly-tini" properly. One of the 3 had very little pineapple juice, and one had none. I had asked the waitress for some pineapple juice so I could fix it myself. Well when I got home that night I realized that they had charged us $5 for the pineapple juice, even though I was using it to fix their improperly made $11 martini. Not cool Assembly, not cool. Now I either don't order a drink while I'm there, or I just get a single ingredient beverage like wine or beer, that requires no mixing from the bartender. I also haven't tried any other food since then, I just keep ordering the beef skewers as my meal because they are absolutely fantastic. read more

Service here is completely ridiculous. I can save someone over 5 times, have them make eye contact with me and they still won't come over even though the place was basically empty. It's your job to at the very least acknowledge your customers. And these are probably the same waitresses that complain that people leave them crappy tip. I'm sorry but 20% tip is earned, not given. Learn how to serve customers. I've been through McDonalds drivethrus that had better service. read more

So Murphy's always smelled of heavy cleaning products and dirty mop water so when I heard the Shenanigans people of Southie were taking over, I couldn't wait. We finally went for an afternoon beer to check it out and see what they were offering on the menu. This place has so much potential. For a night out with the guys or girls, kicking back to have a few drinks-it's great. The layout is terrific and it feels open and spacious. The decor was done right-you could be in anyplace in downtown. Now, for the menu. The pizza the couple across from us ordered looked tasty. And while it is a bar, and I imagined they would have bar food, i'm just so disappointed at the lack of creativity. I got perked up when I saw an "Irish BLT." I imagined some inventive corn beef creation, but alas, it is just bacon, lettuce and tomato on bread. Don't try to pander to my heritage my putting "Irish" before food unless you're going to slap some serious meat and/or potatoes on that plate! Just standard bar fare, though. Such high hopes. I had hoped this place would parallel DBAR in Dorchester: Great bar, FANTASTIC martinis and a really creative but simple menu (please, God, get the gnocchi if it is still on the menu and you try the place after reading this-you won't be disappointed.) I really wanted this to be my go-to place for any weeknight whim. And for a drink with some friends, it may be occasionally. But I will not pay for an over-priced "Irish" BLT or other standard bar food. I make better food at home. Assembly - get creative, or at least slightly adventurous on the food. read more

Always the same...bald bartender never smiles but is attentive. Good beer selection and the food is consistently good.

I went to assembly the other night and ordered a burger with fries. these are some of the worst fries I have had at a restaurant. They were some how soggy, under cooked on the inside, and oily on the outside all at the same time. The only flavor they had to them was of the oil they were cooked in. the burger itself was cooked well but they put a huge piece of red onion on it that overpowered all of the other flavors. If you are going to go out in the north Quincy area I would suggest going to any of the other restaurants. There are many excellent and different Asian style restaurants in the are that are all better quality than Assembly read more

Busy place! Stop in before or after peak hours and leave time to find parking cuz Hancock St is full of traffic. I love the cocktails here. My go-to meal is the lamb and steak. Staff can be slow cuz it's very busy but they're very nice people. They do their best to get customers in and out. Check it out. read more

Assembly is my go to spot in Quincy. The menu is diverse and the service is impeccable. Also the drinks here are incredible if you come here you have to make sure you get a Pistachio Martini I can't recommend it enough. read more

Ordered the steak special med rare, came out well done. Hate sending food back, worked in restaurants a long time. Bartender asked me to cut into it again to prove it was over cooked, what a joke. Friend got the the lamb special ordered med rare as well, came out well done. Told the bartender 10 minutes later I was OK with the steak. He asked me if I was serious and told me that's two steaks I wasted. Asked for the check and couldn't get out fast enough. Only thing that was done well was the butchered meat we were served. Don't sit at the bar if mediocre tattooed bald bartender is working. read more

This place is horrible to their customers. I'm here for the AFC championship. I got here 3 hours before the game to get a table. The tell me as the game starts that they have to move my group to the corner because they reserved those seats before and forgot to hold the seats. Well that's your fault not mine. And then she insulted me by saying I ordered water? I order appetizers and a meal while I waited for game. Sorry I am not an alcoholic drink at 12:30pm by my self. They weren't even apologetic at the time. This isn't the first time they were rude to their customers. This is just the worse that I've experienced here. Won't be coming back here. Also I come in here all the time and I never heard of this "raffle" that these people won. I guess it wasn't for paying customers since that's what I am every time I come in here. Then they said they would comp us a few rounds. We got the bill and we didn't get one round for free read more

I went in there on St. Patrick's Day, I was there trying to get a late dinner in seeing how I was busy for most of the day. Taking a look at the menu a waitress came by asking what we wanted. Not 100% sure we asked for a little more time, but put in an appetizer of nachos whish were standard nachos nothing special. Right after this our waitress kept disappearing for long periods of time. I expected her to come out with someone else's food or drink but she was just walking around talking to the bar most of the night. When she finally came back to take our order, that is where she disappeared for.the longest time. We we're able to finish our meals and just say there waiting, looking around to find our waitress, but only to see a woman who was obviously over served make out with the guy she was with. I know it is St. Patrick's Day but over serving someone is dangerous. She was stumbled her whole walk out if there. After witnessing that whole thing I finally see my waitress chatting once again at the bar not giving us a second look while I see another waitress walking around checking on her tables multiple times. I don't remember her name I just remember the one doing a good job was blonde. read more

You're thinking about it? Don't do it. AWFUL. So we just moved back to Boston after three years in NY. We've been spoiled with the restaurants there, but we wanted to find our little neighborhood spot and though Assembly might be it. Like I said, we just moved back, so funds are tight. Assembly seemed to be a great fit considering it's cheap, just renovated, and the yelp reviews weren't so bad. Here's what happened start to finish: We enter the doors, expecting a hostess to greet us since that's what happens when you go to a restaurant. She stood there, staring at us, completely overwhelmed at the fact that we had just walked in and there was a party of 6 waiting. Clearly nothing else for her to do, yet my boyfriend had to go over to her after about 3 minutes of waiting before she let us know there was a 40 minute wait. 40 minutes? Definitely didn't look that crowded but whatever, we were fine with it and just grabbed beers at the bar. Can't beat $4 Sam Summers! So then, after about 15 minutes she seats us. We get to our table which is super cute, a hightop right in the front window. Loved it. Our waitress comes after about 15 minutes, which was too long, but we weren't in a rush so it was fine. She takes our order, and we put in for our apps and dinner at one time, obviously thinking it'd come out like it should. We ordered the crab cakes (not good, basically just a fried thing with barely any crab at all), the terriyaki skewers (my boyfriend loved but I thought were just ok), and for dinner we ordered the lobster mac and cheese and the grilled chicken sandwich. Lobster mac is good, not a lot of lobster but the taste is good, and the grilled chicken sandwich was exactly what you'd expect, nothing special. HOWEVER, ALL of our food came out at the same time! Huge no-no. The girl who brought us our food had zero clue as to what was going on. I asked her why everything was coming out at once and she said, "ask your waitress" and basically threw the food on the table. I get that she isn't the waitress, but she doesn't need to be rude about it. Obviously there was miscommunication somewhere, whether that was between the cooks or our waitress we'll never know, but all they did was give us two free beers. Thanks for the $8 bucks. This is my first yelp review and I am not a complainer by any means, but we literally haven't gone out in a month since we moved back to Boston and we thought Assembly would be awesome and the $60 we spent to go out tonight was such a disappointment it literally makes us sick. And, no AC. It was 101 degrees today. Really Assembly? read more

Recently had the pleasure of dining there on New Year's Eve and was more than pleasantly surprised. Usually over the holidays restaurants are hit or miss. This place was great. We had seafood and the mac and cheese. All were great! It was early - music a little loud, but place is clean, good size bar and again Food was great. read more

I'm always pleased when I go to assembly. It's clean, the bar has a nice updated look and the food is always tastey. I've enjoyed the pizza, steak salad and the classic burger. I've had the shrimp salad as well but that wasn't a favorite for me. read more

Refreshing! Friendly! Good food! Yummy steak skewers, fish tacos and burgers. That's all I've tried so far, and they get high marks from me. Service is very friendly, professional and attentive. Plus I felt I knew the people who work there, because I recognized them from Shenanigan's in South Boston. I am impressed at being remembered there despite crowds weekend evenings. They are open for lunch, too, if you like quieter time to have a conversation and gossip a bit ... for instance, I learned the twin brothers who owned the previous establishment "Murphy's" are making a movie with the money they made from selling the bar. Can't wait to see it, and to catch up on more gossip the next time I visit Assembly. One more note, the decor is quite unusual and appealing... A rugged, industrial, open feel puts you at ease, with gorgeous teak paneling, high ceilings, brick and really cool light fixtures. And what was it I heard from a friend I saw there last week? He thought the bolts in the teak panels are made of silver? Or so he had heard... Pure conjecture!.... I asked and they are not made of silver!! Very nice addition to North Quincy! read more

I want to like this place but the service is so touchy - the bar staff does alright with the right amount of buttering up but not the friendly warm and cozy that yields 25% tips. My last visit we pissed off the hostess by seating ourselves at a bar high top - it was dead so there wasn't a line but this apparently set off the passive aggressiveness of the staff because we were on the "pay no mind" list for a while and the attitude continued to flow even after we were finally acknowledged. I do like the food but there are plenty of decent places in Quincy where I can eat good food and get good service minus the attitude. read more

The food here is consistently good, but the noise level is abysmal. If you're sitting across a table from someone, don't expect to carry on a conversation. read more

My 88 yr old dad hates going out for dinner because of lines and waiting. They were so helpful in making sure we got seated quickly and had a great family dinner! Thx! read more

I went there last Friday night for dinner/drinks with my friend. And I loved it! Food was awesome. Drinks were delicious. I ordered Lobster Elegante, a big plate with super delicious seafood. definitely come back here. read more

My husband and I came here for Saturday brunch and it was one of the most disappointing experiences I've ever had with food. Ambiance is ok - music is heavily country focused which is jarring at 11:30 in the morning (and grating on the ears after about 3 songs). The place is clean, well lit, and the staff are attentive and friendly. However, once we ordered food and it arrived it was all downhill from there. I ordered breakfast tacos, thinking I'd receive something fun and well seasoned; you know, like tacos. What I got were two cold flour tortillas with scrambled eggs on top of raw tomato and onion with two strips of bacon thrown on top. Nothing seemed to have been seasoned at all (honestly, we're not sure the chef knows about salt and pepper) which made for shamefully bad food. The home fries weren't - they were cubes of fried potatoes which, again, had zero seasoning whatsoever. My husbands chocolate chip pancakes were flat, boring, and similarly lacking in flavor. How do you screw up pancakes? We don't know, but they managed. The overwhelming flavor was sweet (it wasn't even good chocolate) and all I could hear was Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry saying words like clagy and sickly to describe the culinary disappointment that was this pancake. We will not be frequenting this establishment ever again unless we're taking the in-laws (who hate flavor). If you hate seasoning or your taste buds, this is the place for you. Otherwise - HARD PASS. Check out Idle Hour or The Fat Cat for a superior experience all around. read more

Great pub like place to meet friends. Large portions of good food at great prices. Can get loud.

Great ambiance/decor, lots of local beers, good food and a chill atmosphere. Wish there were more places like this in the area! Tip: its gets crowded so come early because waits can get long but overall I would definitely recommend Assembly. read more
