“ I've been to Andy's now a couple of times, once for the prime rib, the other time for a pizza. I was not disappointed either time, the food was excellent and well prepared. There's a nice bar, with friendly people chatting. The waitresses were nice and prompt and very pleasing. I was very happy with my meals and would highly recommend Andy's! ”
“ Great atmosphere, great menu. Everything is made fresh. Prime Rib Wednesdays are worth the trip. Andy is an awesome guy and he runs a great restaurant. ”
“ We were looking for a place to stop for lunch with 9 people on the way up to VT. We luckily found this amazing spot! Everyone there was so nice, such a cool vibe, the food was delicious and our entire party was happy Including the 5 kids. Even the blue cheese dressing was homemade. This place gets a 10/10! ”
“ Great food! Great service! The burgers were fantastic and grilled to perfection and the roll griddled which made it great. So good we went back to try the pizza and it was great. So great to see food made with love and passion! Awesome. ”
“ We went here Wednesday night and were also here over a month ago and pleasantly surprised at the food each time. More of a mom and pop type atmosphere and we prefer to sit on the porch with the natural light, the dining room is a bit dark. I've ordered the waffle fries and salmon both times and it was so good. I ordered the salmon special this week with the sundried tomatoes hollandaise and julienne veggies and prefer it to the regular menu item. My husband had a perfectly crispy chicken parm and previously had the pizza. Best Shirley temples around and attentive service. Lots of menu items I'd like to try in the future. ”
“ We stopped in here for dinner tonight as we'd been wanting to check it out. I haven't been in since it was called Bentley's, same name as the other one near Dunning Street, so it's been a long time. The atmosphere was nice, ambient lighting and nice wood on the walls. We were given a nice spot in the front. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful. She took good care of us. The food was great, very fresh. Their fries are fresh cut on site and everything was fantastic. Prices were very reasonable for the huge potion sizes. We were too full to check out dessert but maybe next time. We will definitely be back. Thanks, Andy's! ”
“ To say this is upscale bar food is an understatement. If you know you know and this is the definition of a locals joint. Barry behind the bar (alliteration!) is the Sam Malone/Dr. Doolittle of Saratoga. Prime rib night. Every Wednesday is freaking delicious, wings are fantastic, the soups are always on point, and the old standby like linguine with clam sauce, chicken, Parm, steak and cheese sandwiches, Rubens, are all what you would expect from a joint like this. However do not sleep on the specials board. Always a few amazing things to check out. Oh yeah. Good pizza too. ”
“ We went to Andy's today, late afternoon. I ordered a burger which was cooked medium rare and was perfect, with cheddar, and NO tomato or lettuce please! I chose fries for the side, I do love their freshly cooked fries. My son had the linguine alfredo and added shrimp - five huge shrimp. It was delicious. Yes, I had to taste it just to make sure it was ok for him to eat. I did share my fries with him tho. We took home two chicken parm dinners. One to share later and one for my husband who practically inhaled half of the huge portion. The dinners came with salads and fresh rolls too. We thanked our waitress, Tammy, for our excellent service while she was able to service the entire restaurant. I asked her, since she seemed like a "seasoned" pro, how long has she been a waitress... she's only been at it for three weeks. She's that good. Thank you Tammy, you're a natural ”
“ For years we've driven by Andy's and wondered if the place was worth checking out. Now we know we've experienced many missed opportunities. The menu leans toward Italian dishes, and we already had plans to go to a different Italian restaurant tomorrow, so we shied away from the obvious Italian food and made mental notes to return in the future if we had a good experience tonight. There was a nice selection of craft beers on tap from which we settled on pints of Wolf Hollow's Lock 9 Porter ($6.50) and Adirondack Bear Naked Ale ($6). Both of these brews have lots of flavor. One of the day's specials was their Tomato Bisque ($4.25/cup). My wife ordered it and while it could have been served hotter, it tasted really great. A little bit of sweetness, but thick with pieces of tomato. My wife also ordered the Phelps Philly ($12.95) sandwich with optional waffle fries ($1.50) in place of their skin-on, fresh cut French fries. As the name would imply, there was a slight resemblance to a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. In a fresh baguette roll was thin sliced beef sautéed with onions and peppers all topped with mozzarella. A side of delicious au jus was also provided for dipping. We both agreed that this was a really tasty and filling sandwich that would be worth ordering again. I decided to try the Big Slide Burger ($13.95) with optional sweet potato fries ($1.50) and Melba on the side. The patty is a half-pound of freshly ground sirloin, flame grilled, served topped with apple wood smoked bacon, bleu cheese sauce, and as I write this I realize that I never got the onion rings mentioned on the menu. But I have to say that I apparently didn't miss those rings because the flavors that came through from the beef, bacon and sauce on the fresh brioche roll were excellent. The pieces of bacon that extended beyond the roll, I broke off and added to the bacon on top of the patty. Nice crispy crunch with each bite. I was never asked how I wanted my burger cooked, so I was really surprised to find it cooked to a perfect medium-rare. It's so nice to have a burger with so much flavor without having to resort to adding more than two toppings. I had heard a dessert being described to another table but was already quite full after cleaning my plate. But I asked anyway and our server described a chocolate cake with a peanut butter ganache frosting ($9.95). He had me at "peanut butter." I asked to have it packed to go. Once at home later in the evening, my wife and I opened the container and were amazed with how the top layer looked like at least an inch thick of peanut butter on top. We were expecting it to be very heavy. But we were pleased to find that the chocolate cake portion was very moist and the ganache was much lighter and creamer than expected. Such a large portion, there will still be some to enjoy again tomorrow. Service was excellent and the casual environment with pine, wood paneling even gives you a bit of that Adirondack feel. ”
