The food here is wonderful! My family and I go here every Sunday for brunch, and they never disappoint. All the employees are very friendly and helpful. We always get their amazing coffee and some kind of new scrambler when we go. I recommend this speedy old-school diner to everyone!

Someone said it in a previous review and I want to reiterate: They make you feel like family here. If you’re looking for a good local diner this is definitely the place. Been coming here since I moved here 7 years ago. I came very regularly with some guys for a while have been less frequent in recent times but it’s always a great spot. If love that home town diner feel then this is it. The service is always friendly and personable. The food is basically what you’d expect from a small-town diner. I do love their coffee, which is bizarre because I’m a 5th wave coffee nerd. The atmosphere is your classic diner with the counter and everything. Im always down to go here if someone mentions it.

An Old School locals iconic restaurant. This place has been around since I was a kid. Great to see it still striving and surviving. 42 Years! Same great food and service. Nice to run into people I’ve known from the area from 22+ years ago. My two go tos when ordering… Biscuits & Gravy -or- the classic eggs benedict. I grew up on Woodland Dr. only a few block away from it. That was in the 70s. Anyone born and raised here, or living here, goes here. Great place to meet business contacts, or mingle with “us” local natives over a hot cup of Joe. Very extensive menu to chose from, with a lot of choices. Very relaxed atmosphere. If your planning on moving and living here…This place is a “must” on your list. Lots of friendly and helpful advise being given by people that have been and lived here in the area a very very long time. Welcome to our neighborhood! This is (1) of the area greats that has stood the test of time. Great job gang! Still got it going on. AAA+. Efcharistó! & Grazie! Wonderful. See ya again soon.

This place is awesome. We have driven by many times and today we decided to stop… one of the owners, Angie, made this stop incredible. Our server, Jamie, was also a great addition to this experience. The food, atmosphere and service was one of the best we have had in a long time. We will be regulars going forward. I encourage anyone to stop in and have the incredible experience we did. The chicken lemon soup is one of the best I have had. Thank you to Andy’s! We will be back often.

We love Andy’s. The breakfast is fantastic, and there’s always something tempting on the specials menu. We also love the fish fry on Fridays. The folks who work here are always so friendly and welcoming. Check it out for some home-style comfort food!

A very decent spot to get breakfast lunch or dinner. I had the tuna sandwich, and they had gluten free bread as an option! So I chose that for my sandwich. It was fantastic! The waitress and atmosphere was very nice. Would come again.

Fantastic little diner. The breakfast was amazing. The customer service was second to none. Angie is a great owner, very proud to see her continuing her fathers legacy through this lovely family owned diner. This was my first time here, however, it will most definitely not be my last.

I will say alot has changed since Andy’s passing. The food has always been one of my favorites, but it’s not so much anymore & ownership has taken a turn for the worst. Me and my son sat at the counter & I witnessed a horrible encounter of the owner yelling at a waitress in the most degrading way. The waitress tried explaining what happened & the owner yelled so loud ‘this is why my food cost is so high’. Turns out it was a side of hash browns was the only mistake. How much does her potatoes cost?? Owner was way out of line & problematic it seems. Also heard her complaining about her life to almost every person who cashed out at the register right behind where we sat. Her alone will be a reason I probably will never return.
