I'm going to be honest, I have drove past this unassuming building in Johnstown for years without…read moreeven knowing it wasn't deserted, but that it was diamond in the rough. In this part of Johnstown, it definitely is a rough area. Parking is either on street or across the street in a gravel parking lot beneath a billboard. If you do park in that lot, do be carful crossing the street as it can be a busy one. Plus there is a slight curve that a driver might not see you while your rush across the street. Once inside you can tell that it lives up to the bar and grill in its name. It has this look inside that gives off this 80s dining vibe. One that calls back to those eateries once found in the mall. You know, those ones where it's almost too dark to see yourself let alone the menu. One where it is very dark wood, heavy on the brick, and all things that make you feel like your in and old time inn. Once settled at a table, we had our menus in hand and were given some time to look them over. Our server came back, took our drink orders and left us for a few more minutes to finalize our decisions considering the menu. Once we decided orders were place and we just waited for our food to come out. It gave us time to look around the place and take in our surroundings. When we first got here, there weren't many people. As we ordered, there were more and more customers that came in. Filling up the tables and making it feel warmer. We were in the midst of conversation and our food came out. I ordered the Franklin Street Bar & Grill Famous Meatloaf. This comes with a slice of the thickest homemade meatloaf I have ever seen. Plopped on top of a pile of mashed potatoes then topped with fried onion rings and smothered in brown gravy. This thing, even though not exactly as described and pictured, was delicious. Not sure if it is fame worthy as I have never heard of it, but hey, I will make sure to remember this when in the area again. To note, entrees are served with your choice of soup, salad, or applesauce, and comes with a homemade dinner roll. The service here is stellar. They all go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and their memory is like a vice grip. One thing you do need to keep on your toes about here, watch your step. With the dimness and small step ups, it would be easy to trip. They do have signs everywhere, but they can be hard to spot if you aren't aware of your surroundings.

Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. We sat at the bar for quite a while before…read moreanyone acknowledged or greeted us, even though the restaurant was not busy at the time. While we were eating, several staff members were having loud and inappropriate conversations with each around the bar area, which made the atmosphere uncomfortable and unprofessional. The most concerning issue was with the food allergy handling. A friend in our group has celiac and clearly informed the waitress that he needed gluten-free food. He was told that both the wings and fries were gluten free, but after eating, he became severely sick, indicating there was likely gluten contamination or misinformation about the menu items. For someone with celiac, this is a serious health issue and should be treated with much greater care and attention. Overall, the service, professionalism, and allergy awareness were far below expectations. I hope the restaurant takes these concerns seriously and improves staff training and food safety practices moving forward.

The drink was pretty good, and I started to feel like we were on vacation. Then my plate arrived... wow!!! First, they gave me a LOT, so I got two full meals out of one. Second, the cheesy grits were done well - not everyone knows how to make them. Third, I did not expect sausage slices on this thing - andouille? It was amazing. The flavors blended expertly, and I was a happy camper. (I had to pick off the peppers, but it's not their fault that I get heartburn.) The shrimp blended with all the other flavors and I couldn't stop smiling! Our server was great, and our loft table was good, too. Overall - great times!!

The atmosphere is fun and welcoming, with live music that brings great energy to the room without overpowering conversation. If music isn't your vibe for the night, they've got pool tables, Keno, casino-style arcade games, and plenty of sports playing on the TVs--there's truly something for everyone. The menu is packed with delicious options, and every single one of our meals was absolutely amazing. Whether you're a foodie or just hungry, you'll find something you'll love. Special shout-out to Kelly aka Pickles, our server--what a total gem! She was sweet, helpful, funny, and super knowledgeable about both the food and drink menus. She made our night even better with her warm personality and great service. Westwood Grill is perfect whether you're visiting town, flying solo, or planning a fun date night with your spouse. It's the kind of place that makes you feel like a regular, even if you're just passing through.

The waitress seemed annoyed when we ask her to check our order. She returned and said our food would be out soon. You get the idea.

At that point we wanted out of there and declined the offer for new fries. The grilled peppers and onions on the sandwich were raw, not grilled. Bad service and cold food. Big disappointment.

Located on a busier street with limited street parking, but with ample off street parking available in the private parking lot.

You are greeted by a friendly bartender ready to pour you one a small selection of beers on tap, or a strong cocktail. The menu is mostly simple pub food, but fresh and well prepared. An ample covered outdoor seating area with tvs is a great way to enjoy a warm summer day out of the sun.
