hen you walk through the doors at Johnny
Kono's Bar & Grill or to the walk-up
window and Jenna's Drive In, located
mere yards apart on Park Ave. in South
Weymouth, you are guaranteed to find fresh
food prepared by a great crew. If you are in the mood for an
ice cold beer – served at a chilling 32 degrees - and fresh Mahi
Mahi tacos or Korean beef burritos, then I strongly encourage
you to walk in to Johnny Kono's to check out the "Five-star dive
bar," according to owner, John Perette. If you are in the mood
for Bacon and Cheddar Tater Tots (which I can personally assure
you are fantastic) or some fresh seafood or fantastic ice cream,
then you must check out Jenna's Drive In, open seasonally from
April into October. After meeting this father-daughter ownership
tandem, I can promise you that serving only fresh, quality food is
key with both.
Perette and his daughter, Jenna, have years in the restaurant
business. While Jenna's Drive In is close to completing its third
year of business, Johnny Kono's Bar & Grill opened this past
