Here's a revised version of your review that naturally weaves in a shout‑out to the wedge salad and keeps the flow tight and polished: --- We visited on a very busy Friday night, but despite the crowd we were seated immediately (party of four). We started with the seafood trio appetizer -- stuffed mushrooms, scallops, and a crab cake -- all delicious. We also ordered the wedge salad, which was crisp, generously dressed, and one of the standout starters of the night. For entrées, the pork chop was extremely flavorful, the baked scrod was a hit, and the jambalaya was excellent and plated creatively in a ring around the rice rather than the usual stew-style presentation. Service was outstanding; our waitress was friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. We finished with the chocolate Kahlua bread pudding, which was absolutely mouthwatering. The only downside is the noise level -- the restaurant is shockingly loud throughout, to the point where you have to raise your voice to hear each other. Overall, great food, great service, and a fantastic wedge salad -- just be prepared for a very loud dining and bar area. read more

I take it back. New manager. Food not so great anymore. But everyone is struggling with prices so I understand. Will still go, but nowhere near as often. read more

Excellent service at the bar. South shore bar pizza was quite good. I had sausage and garlic. The specials and the drink menu looked great! read more

Fun atmosphere and a great local bar option! In a small town, it's hard to find a place for good apps and drinks without driving to the waterfront or Duxbury, but this spot delivers. My go-to drinks are the Mudslide and espresso martini--so good I even brought my 89-year-old grandmother for one and she loved it. Staff has always been kind and welcoming. Bonus points for having gluten-free options (like wings if you ask), which isn't easy to find around here. Decent clam chowder too! I don't enjoy sitting at table for eating here more enjoyable here at bar read more

The pizza here is pricey but one of my favorites. Got pizza takeout tonight for dinner. They messed up the order. The hostess said she needed to talk to the manager which she did, and she put in the pizza that I originally ordered telling me it would take 8 minutes. It took 15 and meanwhile the other pizzas are just drying out on top of the oven. I get it, and mistakes happen. My problem is that the manager did not come over and apologize or do anything to try to make it right. Maybe a free pizza or a gift card? Heck, they didn't even offer me the pizza they got wrong. The other 2 people didn't finish or enjoy their pizza. They said it was too dry. Come on, if you mess up, at least do SOMETHING to indicate to the customer that you care. read more

Gotta go 5 stars. West End Grill is a great spot to stop for a full meal, sandwich, appetizer, pizza, and/or desert. Nice selection of options to choose from. The food is nicely prepared and has always been fresh. Service has been spot on every time we've been there. Lastly, this place is very clean. Very noticeable that they pay attention to things. We love being able to stop and enjoy something regardless of how big our appetite might be. Nice location and convenient hours. Enjoy! read more

Food is consistently delicious. It is our go to! Usually get sirloin risotto but have tried all chicken dishes. They are awesome!

Uninspired to go order. Small portions (5 asparagus spears) and just one meatless entree, one app, two sides, I feel like this was a waste of money. Down $62 with gratuity. And tipping on to go orders is always a leap of faith. On this occasion, no cutlery was provided, leaving us the unenviable decision of either eating cold food after hunting down some silverware at the hotel, or use our fingers. read more

The wedge salad was over the top! Good job. My friend had the clam chowder and loved it.

I wanted take out as I was too busy to cook. I had never tried the West End Grille in Kingston, so I ordered from them. I was not disappointed! In fact, I was sorry that I'd never eaten there before. I ordered steak tips with rice and a vegetable. Each item had been perfectly seasoned. The tips had a pleasant marinade, and the rice was also seasoned such that it stood out on it's own. Veggies too; a summer squash combination that was cooked perfectly and also well-seasoned. I must say that I am sorry I'd never eaten there before; and I definitely will go back! read more

Our waiter Tom was great. He was friendly and always made sure we had something to drink. Our waiter brought some fresh rolls and butter to start which was good. For appetizers we got the pulled pork poutine which was delicious. (It was my favorite thing.) We also got the dumplings which were equally amazing. My husband got the burger although it was a little messy to eat I think due to the bun there were no other complaints. He got a loaded baked potato as his side. I got the special they were having which was steak with a mushroom sauce baked potato with broccolini. The only complaint I had was the broccolini was a tad salty but that could have been my fault I didn't see that they were using a flakier salt and I lightly salted it as well before tasting it. My steak was cooked perfectly. We didn't get dessert but saw a few other people ordering it and it all looked delicious. Overall a nice meal. read more

Bar pizza was okay, linguica cheese pizza. Excited to try but it fell short in my search for the best South Shore Bar Pie.

They have bar seating so without adding in plastic dividers the tables are placed next to the bar so you are facing the people you are with vs. the bartenders, which is completely fine. I'm just very happy to be able to sit back at a bar. I went there by myself that day and ordered a glass of wine and the steak tips. While I was there, the place filled up quickly, the bar area but again it was socially distanced so there was no problem with it filling up. They have the QR code (if that's what it's called) so you can get the menu on your phone. I was kind of craving chicken wings but I didn't see that on their menu so that's when I went with the steak tips. After ordering I noticed they have chicken wings on their dinner menu and the bartender said you can order those, even though it's lunch. Good to know for next time. The only downside thing for me is when it came out with 3 steak tips, albeit it they were big ones, the plate looked sad to me. They also weren't as tender as I would have liked. I literally ate every bite of what I had and was still kind of hungry when I left so if it was a man who orders that meal, they better order chicken wings too. They have some photos on their menu that look great, such as risotto and scallops which is my favorite meal to order when going out so I will go back with my better half and try some other options. The bartender was super nice and friendly which makes for a nice lunch when you are eating out by yourself! read more

Good take out bar pizza, no laced cheese crust and limited toppings but a solid bar pizza if that's what you are looking for! I'm new to the bar pizza scene but this is the best spot close to me in Kingston. The bar and dining room seemed welcoming and inviting but I was on a take out mission all 3 time I have been in so far! Keep making great pizza and I'll be back! read more

I was traveling in the area and really wanted some bar pizza, as it had been well over 20 years since I had some!! Yelp brought me here and it did not disapoint! I sat at the bar and ordered iced tea, side salad, and cheese bar pizza with grilled chicken and bacon- YUM! So good and crispy, light, and perfect! Salad was decent too. Service was friendly and prices were very reasonable. read more

My husband and I had our date night here over the weekend and it was amazing! We both got the scallop risotto and it was excellent! Service was great as well! Highly recommended we will be returning soon! read more

Had dinner there on Saturday evening. Both had burgers which were just OK. Felt very rushed. The atmosphere is fine, a bit loud. The bar was packed and people seemed to enjoy themselves there. We've had take out pizza here a couple times. They know how to make pizza and I recommend that you try that. read more

Food is always great and we have never have any problems with our service! Food comes out fast and correct and the staff is awesome! The ambiance is outstanding!! ----Definitely recommend to people coming through...or locals:) read more

Fantastic cocktails, service and great friendly vibe. Definitely get the Buffalo chicken dip. Also, it's amazing in the Mac n Cheese.. Great fish selections and the sandwiches are delicious. Check it out! The locals love it! And if you are an Orangetheory addict like myself, the studio is very close. After workout drinks!! read more

West End Grill is a nice, big restaurant in Kingston located in the Stop n Shop plaza. The food's goof, the servers are mostly young providing good service, and the parking's free. They've got a big menu and the pizza is good, bar-style. Never had a bad meal at the West End Grill. Good place. read more

Photo of how they served up ketchup is a good indication of how our meal went down hill quick. Being part of the Waterfront family, and good reviews of the food we had high hopes. The waiter was quick to answer questions but missed the mark. We asked if the olives were fresh in the Greek salad, did not write down our order and delivered a Cesar instead, no olives. Menus were dirty enough that the pages were stuck together. Could not find a beer list and asked for our fav. Being a sports bar you would assume there are a few on tap but when asked the waiter recommended a number of non alcoholic ciders. Based on her recommendation we tried a maple old fashioned. Bar over did the bitter and citrus, maple non existent. Tacos, most prevalent flavour was the lettuce as it's nice and fresh. Will try again in a few months time, maybe it was an off night, but not impressed. read more

Had the statler chicken dinner. It was very good. Also tried the pizza which was a pretty good bar pie. Overall great food, will be back. read more

First time at this location. Been to Randolph location a few times. Service was excellent. Waitress was one of the nicest and most attentive we've ever had. Food was good although pricey. Calamari was 50% peppers. Had to really look for the actual pieces of calamari. Little disappointed there. Tips and stuffed shrimp were very good. Ambiance was nice. Sat in bar area. Would be a great spot to come and watch the game. Acoustics/sound was very loud (so much so that I received a decimal warning message on my Apple Watch), but that's probably my biggest complaint. Would still recommend. read more

Never had anything but great food here. Awesome short ribs, baked haddock is excellent- even as leftovers!

Im going start by saying i heard nothing but good things about this place. Came here on a Wednesday night place is located in a stop and shop plaza 1. So the inside was very clean looking and somewhat upscaleishhh ! Lets start with the menu good options and everything sounded good even though somewhat pricey. Decided on salad and soup something you cant mess up right??? Wrong French onion Luke warm and made wrong with a huge bay leaf tucked away! Clam chowder watery and cold! Caesar salad lettuce with two pieces of cheese had to ask for more! Oh wait i forgot my daughter ordered fish tacos! What a joke and insult to fish tacos!!! They had lettuce shredded cheese from stop and shop across the way and what looked liked a $tree fish nugget of some sort!!! Cheese wasn't melted so my daughter asked for it to be and when it came back there was a 2lb choking hazard of stretchy cheese! Gross horrible uneditable food! Pics posted and i never felt so cheated ojt of a meal in my life. The one good thing was the waitress unsure of her name and manager who cane over because clearly she knew food was bad! Manager even stated that the sues chef had emergency and whoever was there basically saying he sucked! Pics don't do justice of this meal read more

The restaurant itself was really cute but the food was really average. My plate came out and the food was cold, and just really bland in flavor. My husband got a chicken sandwich and his chicken was burnt all the way around, the buns were really hard too. It was overpriced for how mid-tier the food was. The service was good though, fast response with refilling our drinks read more

People that work here are great and it can be fun to just hang out at the bar. Other than that it's a place in a strip mall that includes Stop & Shop. What do you thinks it's going to be? Here's advice on this spot - can't think of somewhere to eat, live within 10 minutes and are sick of pizza places? Go for it. Just pick a dish that isn't expensive because it isn't worth it. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this delightful restaurant! The staff is outstanding! Service is quick and friendly! And the food is outrageous!!! I highly recommend the eggplant salad! You won't be disappointed. read more

I like to order take out. The pepperoni pizza and chicken wings are terrific. If you enjoy bar pizza, try the West End's version cooked in a coal oven. read more

Haven't been disappointed yet. I love the location because it's very convenient to stop in on my way home from work/ grab a drink, takeout or meet a friend for dinner. There is something for everyone on the menu. The salmon is delicious and comes in two portion sizes, which is great. The bartenders are very friendly and attentive. My favorite cocktail is the Green Tea. Buffalo chicken dip, French onion soup, pizzas, salads.. all good so far. read more

Service was really good, the food was okay we got an an entree and an app to share and they were a bit tasteless

Best South Shore Bar Pizza- thin, crisp - ask for laced edges. Great balance of sauce and cheddar with good undercarriage. Bar itself is clean, bartenders are professional and friendly, great vibe. read more

West End Grill - Kingston - Best South Shore Bar Pizza - seriously! - Pizza Near Me - Kingston, Massachusetts

Good food, very good service and very nice and clean restaurant. Portions are good size and the prices are extremely fair.

Very average. Only waited about 20 minutes to get a table. The Guinness was not in a Guinness glass which is always a let down :( Other than that the food was okay. The Buffalo wings are extra spicy. I love wings and they were too spicy for me. The calamari is heavily breaded and fried. A little heavy. The Parmesan truffle fries were actually delicious. That was my favorite part of the meal. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was nice, it was didn't go over the top for me. We did get pizzas to go and they were really yummy! Even after the car ride home they were still warm. read more

Ordered takeout for my family and was told the food would be ready in 30 - 35 minutes; this was good news because my children were hungry and it's about a 15 minute drive. Upon arrival (35 minutes after ordering), approximately 7 people were waiting on takeout and several people complained they had been waiting for over 10 minutes. There is no adequate place to stand and wait for pick-up orders and the hostess simply asks your name and tells you to stand in the entrance/exit of the restaurant until further notice -- this results in massive congestion. 48 minutes after I ordered the food and 13 - 18 minutes after I was told it would be ready, a woman came to verify my name. Cool, thanks. Minutes later, my food was brought to me. WHAT IS MOST Disappointing was when I had called in my order I asked the salad my wife chose be served without onions because she is allergic, only to be told when it was handed to me the salad cannot be made without onions. Not only is this unacceptable at this stage in the process, but I was then told that she had meant to call and tell me but had gotten too busy. It's fair to say we will not be going back to West End Grill. read more

It was very loud but clean. The burgers were very good. The service was great too. It was also very busy. I would try again in the hopes it wasn't as loud. read more

Foods great! Drinks great! Staff is great! The only major issue we have here is the music! The clientele is older so switch to some 70's or anything besides this whiny new stuff with zero instruments. It makes me want to plunge a fork in my hand. Go to the bathroom and then the horror of the tunes is really pulsating read more

Sitting here now. We were seated, waited 10 minutes and nothing. Had to ask the hostess who our server was. Finally she came over, took our order and brought our drinks. Food came, one meal short. Everyone was out of drinks and no sign of server. When we finally got servers attention and asked about missing meal she was puzzled and said she'd check. Never asked if anyone wanted a refill on empty drinks. 10 minutes later the manager came over to apologize and yes'd us to death. Still never got asked if we wanted refills and still missing one dinner. The missing dinner finally came after everyone else was done. Still no drinks. It's unfortunate because it used to be a good place. Service quality has hit rock bottom. Server could care less. read more

This place definitely crapped the bed!! Used to be good and reasonably priced too. Just ordered two chicken fingers w/fries and the total came to 41.00... fries were cardboard, no ketchup or ranch like I asked for. All done. Last I'm I order anything from here. read more
