Crazy good food! This is a counter order place with delicious, healthy bowls with options like…read morehatch chili farro, salmon, kale caesar loaded with cashews, herb brined chicken breast, falafel, umami broccoli... Just so many good choices! And then at the same time, they serve fried chicken and chicken sandwiches. And the prices are very reasonable. I got two sauces with my bowl and didn't end up using either because everything had so much good flavor (yep, brought those home). My sister and I showed up at lunch and got easy parking just on the other side of the street. We ordered at the counter and as it was our first time had a number of questions. The staff was super helpful and my food came out much quicker than I expected. They have lots of coffee and other specialty drinks but there's also water available in the counter area where you also get your silverware and napkins, a perfect arrangement for us heavy water drinkers The decor is funky and fun and definitely heavy on a chicken theme. I try out a lot of good places but this is at the top of my list of restaurants I need to return to soon. I was glad to see they have a total of four sites in different places and my sister who lives up in New Hampshire is hoping they will open one up there.

Ya know, I once navigated to this place on accident before? Yeah. Still not sure what my GPS was…read moredoing that day. Because I normally go to the one in Salem. But on this day, I thought to myself, "Self, I really hate making that busy-as-hell left turn on South Broadway in Salem. What if we took a journey to the Andover location instead?" And so it was. I enter this cozy little restaurant carefully tucked against a slightly submerged parking garage. Although, I probably shouldn't say "little" because the interior was noticeably larger than its Salem counterpart. It's also noisy AF in there when it gets busier than a New York subway. So naturally, I ordered my usual to-go (a Country Classic with an extra egg and hashbrowns for those who don't know). Only it wasn't *quite* ready on time. Which, to be fair, is kind of a minor point. Thing is, they have to shout your name whenever your order is finally ready. This in and of itself can prove to be quite the challenge when bellowing atop the already roaring crowd of customers impeding the otherwise accessible pickup shelves. I'll do my best to describe the interior since I wasn't really able to take pictures. But try to imagine an L-shaped dining area with the longest part hosting a row of countertop seats facing the windows. Beyond that sits a rather modest dining area with a few more tables. Next to that sits the gender neutral restrooms. It's strange and cramp, particularly when the place is packed tighter than a sardine can. Sufficed to say, I'm not much a fan of the interior design here. Being the partial recluse that I am, I offer the following best practice for a place so riotous: mobile order that shiz, cuh! Seriously. I had to put in my noise cancelling earbuds to appease my misophonia. The good news is....the food is still awesome. The eggs? Creamier than crème fraîche. Taters? Eh, I don't why...but these seemed way more seasoned the very first time I tried them. Fortunately, they actually pair rather well with their refined version of ketchup. The bacon? Well...let's just say I wish it were served well done. Not sure if I'm able to request that. But I'll scope out my options next time and get back to you all. That's it though. Nice place, WAY easier to get to than its Salem counterpart, but a bit too cramp and noisy for my taste which means....I'll likely ever dine in here. It's all good though, because I'm still giving Crack'd Kitchen & Coffee in Andover 4 Country Classics with all the fixins out of 5.

Can only speak about there donuts (sampled their Boston Cream and Maple Glazed), but we enjoyed…read morewhat we tried! Definitely want to try a breakfast sandwich or an omelette next time. NGL I've driven by this place a ton of times when they've been closed but I work weird hours and they close early and I think sometimes they just decide to not open for whatever reason. In my somewhat limited opinion I would call before heading down. Note: Saturdays only open till noon. Tue-Friday till 2pm.

I've been here twice since first finding out about it a couple months ago. They have some amazing…read moredonuts, and it's probably my favorite donut place as of now. I'm typically not the biggest honey dipped donut fan, but I highly recommend theirs. A few others I've really liked include the maple frosted, vanilla cream, and tiger tail. Their chocolate honey dipped cake donut is also surprisingly good, and I'm usually not that fond of cake donuts. They're pretty expensive at $3.50 a donut, with some costing a bit more, but if you order half a dozen or a full dozen, you get them for cheaper. I also recommend going there within the first hour of them opening, because it seems they can sell out of donuts pretty fast. The second time I went an hour after opening, they were already sold out of the vanilla cream donuts and tiger tails. It's not the biggest place, but they still have some tables for people looking to eat there.

And what do you get at a place like this but the Johnny cakes? You'd think they'd taste different from regular pancakes, but no, very similar!

We recommend.

I had a memorable night with my sister and mom at Monica's cafe. I always appreciate going to a…read moreplace that has their own unique take on cuisines. Monica does exactly that! Every dish was executed with flair and flavor. We tried the Yogurt Bombs, Palak Crunch Chaat, Masalatini for the appetizers. Masalatini is a must try, and we loved how crunchy the Yogurt Bombs and Palak Crunch were with every bite. Then we had the Saag Saga with Paneer and the Melt-In-Mouth Lababdar with Kofta. Both dishes were delicious. Soft homemade paneer and again crunchy kofta with velvety gravies. Lastly, can't forget about the Mithai. You usually can't compete with Mithai in India. Monica's takes it a step further, maybe India can't compete with her? She has a wonderful family, and we had such a great time talking with them. Looking forward to coming back!

The Naanza is absolutely delicious, every flavor is bursting through and the textures are perfection, would highly recommend. The chopped kachumber salad was very fresh. The yogurt bombs were funky and a little spicy. Overall, really enjoyed eating food that's out of the ordinary and again, highly recommend the nannza!

Cocktails were great and the meatballs were great with the sweet ricotta! The chicken LaRosa was honestly a show stopper. The sauce was on the lighter side and creamy and the chicken was still tender and crispy. The vongole was great as well! I love a thicker noodle with clams so I really enjoyed it! I did opt out of the chili flakes on it just cause I'm a bit or miss with spice! Overall, it was a great dinner and we are definitely looking forward to going back very soon!

I'd come back again to try the bolognese.

We were greeted by Emily a pleasant Hostess/Waitress! Andiamo had a nice Pub atmosphere and we were seated in a corner booth! We started with 2 Martinis that were filled to the brim which Emily very carefully brought to the table so not to spill a drop! We had checked the menu online and were both interested in their Chicken Piccata which had gotten rave reviews from fellow Yelper's and that dish didn't disappoint, we both loved it, the chicken was tender and the pasta cooked perfectly El Dente, and it was a huge portion, enough to satisfy the healthiest appetite! For dessert we opted for the Tiramisu that we took to go! After we got home we were looking forward to our tasty treat later in the day! Since our Chicken Piccata entrees were so delicious we thought that the Tiramisu would be as well, it wasn't! We both agreed that it was the worst Tiramisu that we've ever had! Instead of it consisting of the traditional ingredients of coffee soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone cheese and whipped egg yolks, it was like eating a three by two inch high square of cool whip that was topped with a sliced Strawberry, which BTW, was the only plus of this dessert! Don't know if they have their own pastry chef or they get it from a local Italian bakery but whoever makes this needs to be spoken to and at $12 a slice it was, to put it mildly, a complete ripoff! Emily, The Martinis and the Chicken Piccata were all five Stars but please skip the Tiramisu!
