Our Guestbook
“ Andy’s is one of our favorite local diners. We love the laid back and friendly atmosphere. The staff is always friendly, prompt, & go out of their way to serve the customers. The food is always hot, fresh, & delicious! I order the turkey dinner often and it’s the best in town. Their chicken fried steak, aka, country fried steak, is also great. Delicious burgers and fries too! Don’t hesitate to give them a try. ”

Whether you're craving classic eggs and bacon or a hearty omelet, everything is cooked to perfection. The hashbrowns, in particular, are a standout—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and absolutely delicious. If you visit later in the day, don’t miss their homemade soups. They’re rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care, adding to the cozy, comforting feel of the restaurant. Andy's is the kind of place that keeps you coming back—great food, a warm atmosphere, and exceptional service. Highly recommended! ”
“ It's great at this restaurant! The servers are nice, there are many options on the menu, and the food is great! I also like that there's a glass display case with food/desserts, which you can buy, in it. I only go here with my grandparents to get breakfast when I visit them, but still, getting breakfast here is great! I love the cinnamon butter and the teas. ”
“ the food was amazing and the service was really fast but I had a really weird experience with the server who was an older lady. For background knowledge I’m a server. So I’m there with my boyfriend and she comes over but he’s not ready to order yet and she said “no rush but I don’t like to be pushy so put your menus at the end of the table and that’s how I’ll know you’re ready to order” I’m thinking like okay girl that’s smart I’m using that. so she comes back when we’re ready and I order the pancake combo, which is pancakes or French toast, 2 eggs, and 2 bacon or sausage links. I get pancakes, bacon and ask to substitute the eggs for toast. She says “they won’t do that” so I’m thinking what the hell kinda place doesn’t do substitutes? So she continues “so what I’m gonna do is tell them no eggs and then I’ll find a way to get you toast but it has to be our little secret” so now I’m thinking okay??? girl we were gonna tip you good regardless you don’t have to pretend like you’re gonna get fired for giving me toast instead of eggs. Two pieces of toast instead of eggs for the same combo price is a win for the restaurant in today’s egg economy. Also making it is faster?? I look around, the entire clientele is old people. I know they’re subbing food up the a**. I think she thought I was younger and naive? She was very kind but it rubbed me the wrong way? Just to clarify none of this was in a joking way either. And when she dropped off the food she goes “I know nothing.” Really weird but the food was delicious and the service fast. ”
“ Great food, wonderful people. I had an absolute blast with my 4 yr old grandson eating breakfast at Andy's. ”

“ Friendly family owned place we frequent weekly for the great food- big portions too, the wonderful service- waitresses are the BEST!, and feeling like we are part of the Andy's family. Best Friday fish fry options too. Never had a bad meal. Highly recommend!!! ”
“ Lots of choices - 2 full pages ranging from traditional breakfast to newer stuff. Can get a hearty breakfast of ham, eggs, hash browns - all the way to vegetarian with egg whites, potatoes, feta cheese, and everything in between. Regular refills. Quick service. ”
