We had a wonderful experience at Andover Diner. José's service was exceptional -- he welcomed us warmly, seated us, and made sure everything was in order from the moment we arrived. He constantly checked in to see if we needed anything, which made us feel comfortable, appreciated, and well taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the prices are very affordable. It's definitely a place worth visiting. Thank you, José, for making our experience even better. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Good food & service. We went to Prime Rib Wednesdays. Cannot recommend. Well done, dry, not very good at all. First bad meal there.

Very nice small retro diner located in a beautif scenic town in Andover with many antique shops. Our family stopped in after a day shopping and we were very surprised how good the food and service was. The portions were big and delicious with such FLAVOR! Our waitress Sonia was very kind and attentive to our needs and our children. She made our experience worth coming back. read more

I was at Kittatinny state park and was looking for something close by to eat and decided to go to this diner. Typical diner with a huge menu with breakfast lunch options with many tables. I had the steakhouse burger and it was very good and good portions. It included big juicy fried onion rings which gave it a lot of flavor. The French fries were good as well, crispy and not overdone. Prices are very reasonable. Plenty of parking. We put in our order and they checked up on us at the end. read more

Stumbled to it. Really hearty portions and all very fresh for a wonderful Sunday late breakfast. Good omelet and eggs over easy perfect. Homefries yummy crispy. Place was really clean and decorated simply and with taste. Restroom super large and clean. Wait staff kind, prompt and friendly. Highly recommend read more

Absolutely the best food, and in great service, and what do you get? A diner you need to go to. Had a turkey/ham/ cheese melt panni. And my friend had the Dip Roast Beef. Both with crispy fries. What can I say that can convey how happy this food made my mouth. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY. Chatted with the owner, very nice guy, we talked about diner culture and how we love great diners, and this one is definitely GREAT. Don't miss it! read more

Love this place ! Great food very good service and the owner is a good guy! Never had a bad meal three , we go almost everyday read more

Excellent food and very friendly and professional staff. Love the old-fashioned diner ambiance.

Really friendly staff and conveniently located right on Route 206 S in Andover. Usual diner options PLUS a small smattering of Mexican dishes. Overall, average diner quality although the french onion soup was a tremendous flop. Would advise against ordering it and conversely, urge the chef to look into more accurate and authentic preparation. Last and something of importance, their hours are terrible. Never heard of a diner closing at 8pm ever, let alone on a Saturday???!! read more

The food is awful. Ordered a burger and couldn't eat it. The grilled cheese is white bread with American cheese barely melted on.

Great diner with nice decor and vibe. I had lobster bisque soup and a cheeseburger with fries. Owner and staff are very friendly. Definitely glad I stopped here spontaneously for lunch. Will be back for sure to try more dishes. read more

Loved the Mexican breakfast. So good!! Very different from your typical New Jersey diner!

The place is AMAZING! The service Amazing! The staff AMAZING. If you want some of the best food around, Andover Diner is the place to go. And they have all the regular great foods a diner would have plus the best Mexican food around! The staff is super nice and attentive and kid friendly! No matter breakfast lunch or dinner you can't go wrong there. Been going for years and always the tops! The inside is so clean and the decorations are so nice for each holiday. A lot of just great food and wonderful staff. Parking is very good too. I highly recommend! You won't be disappointed! Kudos to the Andover Diner! read more

This is mine and my family's favorite diner in Newton/andover area. The food is always good. Coffee is great, too. The service is always great! Love the staff. The atmosphere feels like home and I love the vintage design. read more

Went for breakfast with my girlfriend, we both had ham and Swiss omelet, ( they were good) she had bacon on the side I had taylor ham, ( no flavor at all ) we both had coffee. Staff is nice, the price not so much, $47.65 plus tip so $55.00 for breakfast is ridiculous. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this diner yet. By far the BEST diner in the area. We are huge breakfast out people and have tried numerous diners and breakfast places in the area. Until trying Andover Diner, we were left disappointed. Whether you want breakfast or lunch, the food is delicious, fresh and cooked with an attention to detail. They have numerous delicious Mexican inspired breakfast items (my personal favorite). Service is always friendly and attentive ! read more

My husband and toddler went for lunch and ordered breakfast October 5, 2024 around 1pm. Service was great and food was good. Our bill came to $33.55. I paid with credit card and left $10.00 cash tip. I just went into my credit card app, and was charged $41.89. I made sure when I signed to put the amount $33.55 and $0 in tip to only charge the $33.55! I did throw out the receipt so I'm not too certain if I can put in a complaint. I do scan my receipts to fletch app and that's the only proof I have. When paying please be AWARE! Horrible feeling to see this when going over your bills! We hardly ever eat out and then this happens. Dishonest! read more

I took my wife here for mother's day breakfast, we had a pleasant time there. The staff was very friendly , pleasant, and polite. The seating was fast and the service was also fast. The food was good as well. We would definitely go back, always go back to good food and friendly service. read more

I'll start with the svc was great. We heard good things so we wanted to try it out. I don't do bfast and maybe that's what it's known for. I ordered the special empanadas de carne with rice and beans. The empanadas were not carne (red meat) they were pollo (chicken) so that was my first warning. The beans looked waxed over and then they were cold. The rice was dry. I have no clue what the point of the cheese was bc I clearly said I don't do raw onion. My husband had the lentil soup after we asked for split pea but they were out. He got the soupy Cole slaw and Philly cheesesteak. It was a $40 meal that we were dissatisfied with. Would not return. read more

Our waitress was sweet but couldn't answer questions due to a language barrier. I had only been here once a few years ago, wasn't impressed then but was willing to give it another try. The coffee tasted like it had been sitting a long time. My panini (turkey, spinach, bacon, tomato, mozzarella on ciabatta bread) was somewhat tasty but it wasn't grilled as a panini should be. The bread was hard, as if toasted, the baby spinach & mozzarella weren't hot so my feeling is the bread was toasted and the ingredients added. An even bigger disappointment were the choices of desserts. Nothing special. Ordered carrot cake but the icing tasted like butter cream. It definitely wasn't cream cheese icing. A very disappointing meal. Won't be going back. read more

As a chef eating here I would recommend the wings with garlic butter and herb spinach with garlic butter and the rice pilaf

Very good Diner! Great options for Food! For those snow birds that love Sausage Gravy and miss it up in NJ, Andover Diner has excellent sausage gravy! read more

I ordered pickup for a steak quesadilla, recommended by a friend, hostess was nice, order was ready in ten minutes. It cost $15.50 plus a $4 tip. I get home, (15 minute drive) a few pieces of steak, but what really grinds my gears was there was... no cheese. Call restaurant, pass me off to a few people, instead of trying to solve it, start saying "the cook said there was cheese." I was like, "I mean want me to show you? There is no cheese." I dug through it and literally COUNTED three pieces of shredded cheese. Didn't offer to replace, I didn't even want to bother with this one. So here I am, leaving a review so y'all can make sure you have cheese before you leave. Why did I order a quesadilla from a diner you ask? They are AMAZING at the Hampton Diner. New owners since COVID. Wasn't aware. read more

Atmosphere: The Andover Diner has recently gone through an owner change, and it looks fresh and well kept. The outside is very spacious, if not one of the best outdoor seatings I've seen in New Jersey. All tables have their own separate tent and table. If you are going in for takeout, there are multiple signs that say wear a mask and they also have a one way entrance and exit. It's clear they are not playing around, which I am thankful for. Food: The Andover Diner menu has everything you want in a diner. There are plenty of breakfast, lunch, and dinner specials. They have everything from eggs, pancakes, omelets, sandwiches, salads, and dinner specials. I wasn't sure what I was in the mood for and decided to keep it simple with a BLT. I can't remember the last time I ordered a BLT. I added french fries. The BLT was good, but there wasn't anything unusual about it. The french fries were the typical diner french fries: frozen and reheated. The Andover Diner wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything unusual. Service: The hostess was friendly and our food was done in 10 minutes. Everyone was wearing a mask and I felt as though they took the pandemic very seriously. Andover Diner Cost: $ For my BLT and french fries, it was $7.50. That's the cost of fast food! Would I come back? I liked the Andover Diner, and they did a great job of making sure everyone was safe and socially distanced. While the food wasn't anything unusual, I would definitely like to go back and try other things on the menu. read more

Amazing food, service and prices. Truly one of the best diners to eat in and the Halloween decor was fun too. The taste and quality of the food was truly one of the best in the tristate area. Definitely worth the stop! read more

My husband and I ate here today and our waitress did not speak English, but that's ok . But she didn't understand what we ordered, didn't understand what we were asking for. We asked for diet soda got regular soda. Ok, no biggie. She asked three times what type of potatoes, and he still got the wrong side. She gave his meal to the table behind us then she takes it back into the kitchen and then brings it backout and gives it to him . Then he asked for gravy and she brought grits. We will not be going back anytime soon, if at all. read more

Great diner! Good food,fair prices, great staff. We have eaten in and ordered take out and always have a great meal . Definitely going back!

We've visited the Andover Diner in the past and it's a reliable stop for decent food along 206. On our most recent visit, we noted that the prices seem to have increased markedly, which we chalked up to the impact of COVID. That's totally understandable. However, when we went to pay the check, there was a small sign at the register noting a 3.99% upcharge for paying via credit card, with the menu prices being for cash customers. This policy wasn't stated on the menu, where people could read it and then choose their meals based on what they could afford. (Or if it was, it was far from obvious.) It's deceptive to inform customers of this upcharge after they've eaten their meals. Fortunately I had enough cash to cover the check, but I didn't appreciate the diner's attempt to position an upcharge as a "benefit" for those who paid cash. We've all been places where discounts are offered for paying cash, but you're given that choice before you've consumed what you're buying. In that case you have the chance to change your purchase decision. I may not have had the chance to 'put back' what I was buying, but I have a choice not to return, and I won't, at least not until the Andover Diner is under new ownership. read more

Went here with my elderly father. Food is very unappetizing. My breakfast steak was like shoe leather & tiny. "How do you like your eggs?" Up charged me for poached eggs ($2.00). Then with my breakfast, because I'm keto/low carb, I asked for vegetables instead of toast & home fries. Charged me an additional $6.00. UNBELIEVABLE! No wonder this place isn't busy anymore. Never again read more

Andover Diner is an okay spot for grabbing a quick and unimpressive meal. While in the area a few of us stopped in for Spaghetti and Meatballs, Beef Goulash, and Chicken Francaise over Rice. Pretty standard fare for a Jersey Diner to prepare and all of our soups and entrees came out just okay. It's a bit below your typical kind of Diner, it offers nothing special and no one really cares if you're happy with your meal or not.    I noticed it was pretty empty around dinner time when we arrived and after we tasted the food we realized why that was. It's just not that good. I felt that the Beef Goulash which I ordered tasted off. I'm used to this dish with a brown sauce, so when it arrived in a tomato sauce I was a bit surprised. The sauce, to me tasted like it might have been hanging around a bit too long. The Meat was not slow cooked at all and was extremely tough. The other two meals that we ordered were also 'not winners' and so the agreement was made that we definitely don't need to make a return visit here anytime soon. read more

So they have delicious burgers and the staff is great & friendly but the place is kind of a bait and switch. The prices on the menu aren't the actual prices. Apparently the owner raised them but is dragging their feet on changing the menus. Slick read more

I have been going to this diner for years, since I was a kid and have always loved it! Recently I ordered a delivery and the food never arrived. When I called the woman on the phone said they called me and knocked on my door. I never a got a call at all and was sitting right next to my sliding glass door. read more

Outdoor dining was lovely for dinner last night. I went there with my wife and mother-in-law who both ordered the eggplant parmesan sandwich. It was huge! they had to bring some home. I ordered the triple fajita special with shrimp, beef and chicken which was very good, and my favorite hot sauce which is Cholula. The service was wonderful - the owner's wife was actually waiting on us. Prices were very reasonable. read more

$68 for breakfast for 3 people who ordered eggs, a waffle and pancakes. A few strawberries on top of the pancakes were $6.00. Then I got charged $2 extra dollars because I used my debit card to pay the outrageous bill since I didn't have enough cash... On top of that they couldn't even make eggs over easy properly and the bacon sucked. $4 for three small strips... basically the place is a rip off and it's not good on top of it, that's an honest assessment from a New Jersey native who's been going to diners his whole life. read more
