$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

Has Been under new Management for awhile and the service is great. Your order is taken promptly and the food is great, server's are wonderful and attentive. The diner is neat and clean and parking is always available. A great local friendly business. Try it and see what an enjoyable meal is like. read more

So, it's now called the Route 206 Diner. (How can that change on Yelp?) Stopped by last week for lunch and had an Israeli Chicken Shwarma, which was awesome. (Next time I'll ask for the fries on the side instead of in the pita) Service was seriously friendly, and I will definitely be a repeat customer. (Do you notice on Yelp it's either the best, or worst? That's why I'm going middle of the road.) read more

Overall decent food for a decent price have been countless times with no complaints. Good service nice friendly people.

This is the place to go when you want to keep it simple. The food is always delicious and the service is always good. When you're here, you can feel the comfort of a small town diner. Between the staff, the food, and the small conversations from the tables around you, it feels like home. read more

Just came here from camping over night, and very hungry. We were met with kind waitresses, and very speedy service. We got our food in a matter of minutes after our order. The food was better than expected. I highly recommend this dinner to anyone in the area. read more

Food? Awsome. Service? Great. The ppl are really nice there and they really seem to care about you and your orders. 5 stars.

The food was good however the waitress took our check with my credit card and when she brought it back I noticed a non-cash charge of $2.55. The review right above mine by Sue K. noted the same thing and she stated she would not go back. They charge 3.99% if you use a credit card. This is not noted anywhere except there is a small sign up by the cash register. I never went to the register therefore I was not forewarned of this. I should have been told when my card was taken by the waitress so that I could have used cash if I wanted to. On their website it states that they gladly accept cash, visa, master card, etc......nothing about a 3.99% up charge read more

The new diner is good. It's clean. I had a great Spanish omelette w sausage. And the staff is nice. AlwYs good to support local business. Enjoy read more

This is the last hold out of a real NJ diner! Great food, good prices, great service. The food is well made, never burnt. Currently they are updating inside and out to bring it to a more modern. read more

Just had maybe the worst meal I've ever had from this place. We live right down the road so my wife ordered breakfast that was intended to be via curbside pickup as advertised, which they rudely advised her they don't do because they "want to make sure you pay." When she got the food home, the "poached" eggs on top of my sausage patties were completely raw and sliding around like a waterbed. She called and asked them if she could bring the food back because the eggs were raw, and when she got there she was greeted rudely by the cook regarding the eggs. They pretty much deconstructed the entire meal and redid it for me in separate components, which was fine. She got the meal back home to find that the scrambled eggs were partially raw, the microscopic biscuits that the sausage were on were both moldy, and the sausage patties were like hockey pucks. My wife had ordered a wrap for herself, which contained nearly nothing that the menu said it would contain. All in all, this place is horrendous. Avoid it like the plague unless you want to eat something that makes you sick. read more

Andover Diner - a piece of food on a tray - Diners Near Me - Andover, New Jersey

I am giving this a 2 because we stopped by at 9:30 in the morning, the door was open and as we entered we were told that they weren't open yet. They were still waiting for employees to come in. I can honestly say I've never seen or heard of a diner like this. I have been here in the past and the food was excellent and it didn't matter what time of day you were there. Back then it had plenty of people to prepare food and a good waitressing staff. Today they didn't seem to have either so I couldn't even comment on the food. While I would be tempted to come back at another time I'm going to wait and make sure that they are open first and have their problems worked out. read more

An amazing diner with amazing food. This was my first time here and I will definitely be coming back. Food was very fresh ! Very tasty ! And reasonably priced! The chef even came out to say hello ! Staff was extremely nice and we were served on time ! read more

We recently stopped at the Andover diner for a bite to eat. The outside was nice and the inside was clean. It was a typical style diner with a cool mural in the back. Our waiter Nick was pleasant and attentive. I got the California panini which had chicken, mozzarella, red peppers and spinach. It was very good and my fries were crispy. My son got the chicken and cheese quesadilla. It was bigger and better looking than I expected. It had chopped peppers and onions on it and there was a side of chopped lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream. He enjoyed it. My daughter loved her Belgium waffle, which was light and fluffy. She also enjoyed her chocolate milkshake (well who wouldn't). My husband got a Greek chicken wrap. He felt it need more chicken. Lastly, my other other son got a burger and a side of waffle fries. I quickly regretted not ordering waffle fries when I saw them. He said everything was good. The atmosphere was laid back and a little on the slow side but it gave us a good opportunity to talk with our kids. We didn't get anything fancy but I would go back. Our only issue was the fee they tack on for using a credit card. It seemed a little much. Unfortunately more and more places are doing this, maybe to survive; I don't know read more

Andover Diner - Mural in the Andover Diner - Diners Near Me - Andover, New Jersey

Waited for 30+ minutes on a takeout order of two wraps. Only two! It's ridiculous. There was not another single customer, and it took them more than ample time to give us our food. I will never come back here. read more

We came here around lunchtime on a Sunday. The wall mural features the very worst artistic rendition of Elvis I've ever seen in my life. It was incredible--even worse than the unwell Marilyn Monroe he was eating with. The waitress seemed unhappy to see us, and unhappier to answer any questions that we might have about the menu. For example: what's in the side salad? The answer seems to vary extremely widely from diner to diner, and sometimes includes meat. IMO, a reasonable question, but she seemed to find it absurd/insulting. We ordered eggplant parmesan, french toast, and the aforementioned side salad (which had an iceberg base and then had tomatoes, cucumber, olives, onion). The French Toast was fairly dry and lukewarm. The eggplant parm was fine. The waitress got much friendlier when she handed us the bill. read more

Went to eat at Andover Diner for lunch for the first time since before covid, and the food was not the same, it was not good, no taste, like old food thats been in the refrig for awhile, stingy with the food, and a lot more money, but I figured it was that good before so it'll be worth the money...NOT!!!! Maybe new cooks, not sure, but I will say that i will give lunch another try, later on down the road, but in the meantime I will try breakfast... hopefully they don't mess that up. read more

Outside looks great, inside is a disaster! Got seated and left, roof was leaking everywhere. Water was dripping all over tables and chairs, peoples food and the coffee machine. Place was disgusting didn't want to risk eating the food if the inside looked like that! Who knows what the kitchen looked like! I wasn't in the mood to get sick. I used to go here as a kid all the time, was a great diner and had great food, I don't know what happened to it. If they just fixed the roof and ceiling panels it would be great but to be okay to sit a party of people at a table that clearly has a leak over it and reassure us that the ceiling isn't gonna fall on us is ridiculous. read more

I order for pick up often and the food is great. Pleasant service, food is typically ready or still extremely hot, and inexpensive. read more

Andover Diner - Sally - Diners Near Me - Andover, New Jersey

My son and I took a big hike in the Andover area and wanted to try someplace new. Well, the Andover Diner isn't exactly new but it was to us. Classic looking place. Just what a diner should look like. We ordered the usual. Chicken fingers and fries for my son. Onion omelette, well done home fries and rye toast for me. Food came out quickly and was delicious. Good food, good service and a nice owner who seats and chats with customers. We'll be back. read more

Went to new 206 diner for the first time since name changed. I ordered the broiled stuffed sole with CRABMEAT STUFFING and my husband ordered open face turkey with BROWN gravy. His turkey came with yellow turkey gravy and was good but not what he ordered. Mine came with NO CRABMEAT STUFFING at all. I told the waiter and he said something I did not understand. The management came over and asked what was wrong. I told them about the my order being wrong and did not mention my husbands was wrong also. The manage did bring a bowl of crabmeat stuffing for ME to add to my plate. It was very good stuffing but the meal was not what we ordered. With so many great diners around we will NOT be returning to the New 206 Diner since they can't even get an order correct. We should have know it was not a good place since no one was in there at dinner time on a Saturday night. read more

In appearance, this seems like a pretty average Jersey diner. Somewhat smallish but with typical chrome on the outside. The food was a surprise though. They make great potato pancakes and those go well with the weekend special, which is the Yankee pot roast. Service was great too: well-paced and attentive. read more

Good food. Good service. Nice outdoor dining area. Socially distant tables. Cleaning protocols in place. All good except one waitress wearing her mask on her chin the whole time we were there! About an hour! So if that's important to you... read more

Nice people def will order from here again. Went out of there way to thank me for the business

Had to wait 15 minutes to get the check. Food was typical diner food. It's supposed to be "New and improved". Looks like they just changed the sign and painted the railing outside. read more

The ONLY reason I give this place 2 stars instead of one is because the food was better than it has been in a while. We were meeting my brother and sister in law who were visiting the area, and I thought this would be a good place to eat. The meal was without incident, but it was after the meal when the trouble began. We paid the bill and left a cash tip and proceeded outside only to be followed by our waitress who shouted out "gratuity is not in your bill! " I told her we knew that but was curious as to why she would say that. My husband went back in only for the waitress to say the bus boy had taken her tip! She did not apologize to my husband or our family. I also count on tips as part of my income, but I would NEVER chase someone to the parking lot. Incredibly unprofessional and disappointing. (Note: she was also wearing a sheer shirt with a neon green sports bra underneath as was in her late 40s or early 50s). Once again, VERY unprofessional and disappointing. Two thumbs down read more

Went here today for breakfast, great food and excellent service ! Eggs Benedict was amazing !! read more

This was my second time here recently. We didn't much like our meals the first time and the service was almost non existent. Tonight I could not eat any of my meal. I ordered spinach pie and salad. The lettuce in the heavily dressed (were they hiding something) was brown. I sent it back. The spinach pie was also inedible as it was drowning in oil. My friend and I shared her eggs benedict - barely edible and super salty. Tables and booths had not been cleared - perhaps because there were only two waitresses working the whole place. By the way - I am not a picky eater. Three words of advice - DON'T GO THERE read more

Not good. I am not sure what happened at this Diner it is now called the Route 206 Diner. We were starving and this was going to be dinner for us because we were moving all day and we were exhausted. I ordered a simple grilled chicken caesar salad and my boyfriend ordered a wrap. I'm not a cook and I could have done a better job on my salad. There was little thought put into it the croutons that were placed on a salad were definitely slices of bread that were put in the oven. When I saw the $26 bill for these two items which also included a glass of soda I was really disappointed. That will be the last time I give them my money. They really need to invest in a better cook or somebody who gives a crap about how that place is run. If I could give this no stars I would. read more

We went there for my grandfather's birthday. The staff was very attentive and friendly and helpful, There was 12 of us and everyone's meals tasted amazing, we all really enjoyed the new presentation with the beautiful flower it added a certain ambiance to the plate. The new owners are so nice and friendly and really care about our experience and came out and talked to everyone asking them how their meal and experience was and were completely willing to bring us anything we needed. My family and I have been here before with the old management and it is a complete turn around from before and we see a 100% improvement with the food quality, taste, and presentation! Overall loved my experience and will be back!!!! read more

Older decor but very clean. We ended up here by default on a Sunday when everything else was closed. Food turned out to be quite good, I got a bacon Swiss omelet and pancakes, my partner got a chicken parm sandwich with fries. Very large portions and everything was tasty. If we're back in the area, which isn't often, we'd definitely go back. read more

New ownership is very friendly and doing and excellent job. The food was cooked perfectly and the service was superb
