Great food and service. Friendly staff and food portions that were more than enough. We had calamari and wood fired artichokes for an appetizer. I really wanted to try the mussels in white wine sauce so the waitress suggested an off-menu dish of the mussels over linguine. It was great. They even had live piano music on a Wed night. read more

I had spag w white clam sauce n my husband had a burger. Both were very good. The only thing I am down on ... I wish they would wash their windows. They are horrible. read more

Pizza from here is amazing. We ordered a take out cheese and margarita and it was so good! We had to try out the restaurant in person- the pasta is kinda disappointing, the sauce isn't that hearty. Tiramisu was also kinda disappointing, could barely find the lady fingers or the taste. Giving 4 stars because of how good the takeout pizza was. read more

Visited on a Sunday night recently. Not very busy Had to ask for bread like 2x when it should have been automatically provided to the table Very expensive for the portion size you get .(pasta wise) I was thinking. Jeez I'm gonna be hungry later. And then a lot of wasted vodka sauce. Got my entree way before my date. It was a good 15 minutes. read more

Truly, the food is just not good. And the price is ridiculously high - 32$ chicken parm Side pasta +4$... the pasta had the sauce poured on top... I'd never go back there ... Milanese was actually coated in oil . Like they must've poured oil on top to finish it ... its fried already it does not need to be soaked with oil Service was mediocre at best They had a piano player which was nice, but didn't turn music back on after he was finished ... I guess as a way to tell people at 9pm to finish and leave... I went at 8:30 read more

My family has been going to Andres for DECADES. However tonight we got the absolute worst pies ever. Like they made them way too salty on purpose so that we would never ever come back... read more

Appetizer took 40 minutes to get out of the kitchen. Eggplant was way overcooked and like mush. Chicken was overcooked and breading was soggy. Pasta was dried out floating in a pool of water. The bus person wanted to clear out table thinking that we had already received our meals. It took almost an hour to get them. Was really disappointed especially for what they charge. read more

Great atmosphere but they need to get someone else to cook their steaks. My husband and I are constantly ordering rare steaks in hopes they don't over cook it so we will get the medium cooked steak we really want and it never happens. The steak is always dry and way over cooked. If you're going to charge almost 40$ for a steak, make sure it's cooked right. read more

Andre's food is overpriced and mediocre. I have dined at Andre's 3 times. The first time my food took forever to be served and was the wrong dish. The second time every drink order we wanted to have was met with our waitress coming back to say they didn't have the correct mixers. Two tries and decided on pepsi. (Coke is non-existent at Brigantine) I can't remember what we ordered but I do remember thinking eh nothing special. This was last year. This year we tried Andre's again (choices are limited for dining out for dinner). Our dinner started with the same drink issue as last year. I ordered Chicken Parm. It came with salad, soup or pasta. I asked if I could have French Fries instead and was told no, you cannot have fries with chicken parm. Not even a let me check or it may be extra - just no. Again the food took forever and the rotini pasta I chose was probably cheap dried pasta with just a ladle full of plain sauce. I watched the waitress attend to everyone around me but she did not check in with me. No water refill. Nothing. Until time for the check. I don't know if she was insulted about the 'fries' request or what. Andre's is very busy and I don't get it. It is not great food. It is pricey. The service is not great. I hope better restaurants start finding Brigantine as a good place to open their doors - this community needs it! I will never waste my time or money at Andre's again. read more

Margherita pizza is to die for... seriously THE best Margherita pizza I have ever eaten I could probably eat 2 entire pizzas to myself. Always amazing service and such a cozy place to eat. Must visit! read more

First, the food was overpriced. I know it's the sea shore but if you are overcharging the quality must be good. The menu said steamed clams they didn't specify size. Well we got top necks good restaurants only serve little necks with steamers. Entrees came without salad or soup. The roll was very small pieces of stale Italian bread. I ordered spaghetti with whole clams. Again, they came with top neck clams not little necks as I ask for. My wife ordered stuffed shelves. She said it had absolutely no flavor. I will never go back to this restaurant again and I recommend not trying it. My bill was $94 and we only had one beer and one mixed drink and the entrées. read more

I love this restaurant. We have been eating there for 30+ years. Our favs: grilled chicken breast, bronzino, chicken parm, pizza, and especially the rosemary pizza! read more

Went to dinner expecting to eat dinner with my lady... she was finished before my food arrived. Manager told us how they are cooked at different stations. Sounds like excuses to me. Would have been nice to hear "I'm sorry". Had to ask for bread to go with pasta dish. And the waitress said I wasnt being very nice. Maybe, just maybe you, and the establishment could might need to self reflect. Small portions, expensive, and mediocre at best. I know this island lacks good restaurants, and Andres only reinforced it! read more

We ate there 3x while in Brigantine Beach. The first night we had the seafood special with shrimp, scallops and lobster over pasta in a white wine and garlic sauce-Amazing! Servers were attentive and friendly. Live music on Saturday night. Best part was it was across the street from our condo. read more

Lived on the island for years and have been here or ordered delivery many times. The food is ok. Service and ambiance are ok. Where Andre loses the stars for me is the value for money spent. Andres has always been pricey but now it's out of control. I get it, the cost of ingredients has gone up yadda yadda... well sure, but is a plate of ravioli really worth the menu price? The eggplant or chicken parm? Not to me. Sorry Andre... you have priced me out of your business. read more

You can't get better Italian food in Brigantine, New Jersey then Andres. Their families, personal olive oil is out of this world and their seafood and pizza are excellent. The staff is even better than their food. I can't say good things about these people. read more

Went in early afternoon very rude children working there. Was recommended by a friend I guess I came at a bad time. I left I didn't even try their food read more

Our team was in Atlantic City for a volleyball tournament. We made a reservation for 35 and we're running late. The staff was very accommodating and fed a group of 35 hungry people. Food was delicious, large portions and reasonable. Thanks again. read more

Great service, excellent wine list. But gross chicken parmigiana. Breading was soggy & undercooked... you could taste the uncooked flour. Sauce a sweet, watery puddle, and mozzarella a greasy mess that needed to be sopped up with napkins. read more

The worst eggplant parm I've ever had. The eggplant was mush. The rigatoni were not eldente. It was like they were run under hot water and served. Very disappointed considering the prices. We expected better. The service and ambiance were good. read more

The service was awful. Food was dropped and no one came back to ask if everything was ok or did we need anything else. Waitress refilled one water glass while the other five of us sat there with empty glasses. When we asked her she stated that she did refill one!! Too many other choices on the island. Will not be returning! read more

45min wait (4th of July weekend) but the service was SO quick once seated. Our server was very efficient. Could have used more bussing of the table as our plates accumulated throughout the meal. Started with mussels - the white sauce was very good. Everything came out very hot. Could have done without the sauce on the crab cake but everything was prepared well and tasty, as well as filling with the three different sides (included a salad too). Had a cannoli for dessert which was the best way to end the meal! read more

One of the few decent restaurants in Brigantine that actually stays open late(ish). It's a typical italian restaurant, I just wish it wasn't so expensive. Like many of the local restaurants, you end up paying a premium purely due to the lack of options. Will you leave satisfied with your meal? yes. Will you pay 20-30% over what the dish is actually worth? Also yes. Also respect the volcano pizza. It's called volcano for a reason. - but you can also order it with just a little hot. read more

Went for "Lunner" which is dinner in the mid/late afternoon. However the dinner prices were high and we didn't want to doggie bag anything. So we ordered a chicken Cesar salad and a pepper egg and sausage hero thinking they would be a quick meal. NOPE, we brought home half the hero. We were very impressed with the freshness of everything. The salad was crispy and the sausage cheese pepper hero was the best I ever had - hands down. Wonderful. Great service from Julianna who said the portions are also huge at night and she loves working there. Great service, large portions and a quick friendly staff that loves their employer. That says everything about this place. We'll be back. read more

We've been here many times before and it's been good but this experience ruined our night. Our waiter (bald, shorter man) ignored us and maybe stopper by our table twice. The food was flavorless, low quality, and incorrect but the waiter never bothered to stop by to check on us. We waited half an hour for our food and we never ever received our starter salads. The only helpful person was the bust boy with curly hair who was very apologetic and the only one who appeared to be paying us attention. When our waiter finally stopped at our table we informed him that we did not like the food and he was completely disinterested. He brought us one complimentary cannoli, but did not remove a thing from the bill. Cost $80+ dollars with tip for two pasta (one of which had been not been eaten more than a few bites as it was swimming in oil) and two fountain drinks. I have never left a review before but for what they change this experience was awful! read more

One of the best restaurants on the island. It is much better than many of the restaurants in Atlantic City. If you're in Atlantic City I would suggest driving over to the island and checking out Andres. They have an extensive wine list, wonderful menu of dishes, plus daily specials. Perhaps you're not looking to have dinner, they have a wonderful little bar that you can sit at and have an appetizer. They also do takeout, where you can grab a pizza or a cheesesteak if you'd like. read more

I have dined in here a few times, and recently picked up take out. The food is decent! The pizza was a nice surprise as it was well done and tasty. The chicken parm I was hesitant to order based on mixed reviews....it was not bad, but typical chicken parm is crispy pan fried chicken cutlets/breasts and these are clearly not pan fried or deep fried - it definitely seems just baked, so that's not my ideal but it didn't taste BAD. The muscles in white sauce had good reviews and were just okay in my opinion although they did provide a TON of them and overall great portions. read more

Insane cannolis, insane chicken parm. 10/10 always make a stop here when I go to brigantine. Didnt get a pic of the parm tho cause we were too busy eating it ;) read more

Placed a large order...pizza, flat bread pizza, salads with shrimp, antipasto & everything was excellent. Pizza was delicious.

Stopped in for a drink and a quick afternoon bite at the bar. Recommended by Ernest, the LaSammana next door hotel's charming doorman, Andres did not disappoint. Andres is an old school Brigatine neighbourhood Italian restaurant. A well regarded choice with the locals who all headed for their favorite tables when Andres opened at 4pm. Mussels in red sauce, one of the happy hour bar specials, were plentiful, spicy and satisfying. PJ the very friendly and competent bartender also provided some hot, crusty bread for dipping. A delicious bargain with a couple of drinks. PJ made a really good Margaritta that should be on a cocktail list at the bar. Decent selection of wines. Will go back to try more of the menu. read more

A very nice casual place with good traditional Italian food. Chicken Parm and Lasagna were excellent and very generous portions. Pleasant and responsive service. Very much enjoyed our meal here. read more

I know folx, it's hard to wait when you're hangry but if you wanna feel a part of a traditional Italian family then this place is worth the wait! My hubs, 9 yr old son and I ate there tonight and we had actual patience, remember that? Worth every penny! Felt like my imaginary Italian grandma was taking care of me, it was clear all those working there were busting their puhtootie's off and everyone cares a lot about what they put out. Amazing food, just please come with patience and it will be worth it, I promise! read more

Waited over a hour with plenty of tables open! Sat outside and ordered drinks while we waited. Hostess wanted us to get up and wait on the street even though no one was seated outside! Poor management Drinks were pretty good even though I had to personally order them. For those who complained about the cost, expect to pay more at the shore and especially after all this inflation. The spicy sausage sauce was amazing as well as the pizza. But it could of been the hunger pains of waiting. They said the kitchen was backed up. Idk. Not sure if I go back. We did have a great waitress read more

Went there twice while on vacation. The first time was good, the service was fine and the food was very good. Had enough for two meals. The 2nd time we sat at the bar and bartenders were so nice and you could tell they really liked working there! The owner came over and talk to us and was very nice and funny! Pizza and wings were wonderful! Would go back. read more

Issues with Andre's. Chicken parm and eggplant parm overcooked and sauce tasted burnt. Was told it would be an hour and 15 minutes for pickup. Received text in 45 that it was ready. Overpriced, bill was $60. It would have been $50 at our go-to restaurant at home and much better. Dinners come with soup, salad or pasta. We chose salad that was obviously made way ahead as lettuce wasn't crisp with some brown spots. If you order a pasta dish, you don't get soup or salad because it automatically comes with pasta. Wait, isn't the pasta part of the entree? Offer soup or salad with pasta entrees. What will it cost you? $.50? read more

I once left this place and rather negative review and I still by that, however; this place has gotten increasingly better especially their pizza. They have changed the ingredients and are back to a pretty decent pie again. I will say their hoagies are the best thing they make that I've had. read more

Their pasta's fresh. Their sauce is decent. Their food is not bad. But the food's a bit too pricey. I don't think I would pay the amount they are charging to eat there in comparison to the quality that you get. Better option would be driving to Philly, it would be money far better spent. This place is famous probably because Atlantic county doesn't have much decent restaurants.... read more
