Recently I was at the Andover Diner in Andover, NJ. It’s close to one of my favorite airports: Aeroflex-Andover Airport. Anyway, since I was in the area, I decided to stop at the Andover Diner. Which, for now, seems to be my last New Jersey Diner for a while.
Like all of New Jersey restaurants, the Andover Diner is only open for outdoor seating and takeout. We chose to do takeout.
Andover Diner Atmosphere: A
The Andover Diner has recently gone through an owner change, and it looks fresh and well kept. The outside is very spacious, if not one of the best outdoor seatings I’ve seen in New Jersey. All tables have their own separate tent and table. If you are going in for takeout, there are multiple signs that say wear a mask and they also have a one way entrance and exit. It’s clear they are not playing around, which I am thankful for.
Andover Diner Coffee: X
I didn’t order coffee this time around since I was already dehydrated enough.
Andover Diner Food: B
The Andover Diner menu has everything you want in a diner. There are plenty of breakfast, lunch, and dinner specials. They have everything from eggs, pancakes, omelets, sandwiches, salads, and dinner specials. I wasn’t sure what I was in the mood for and decided to keep it simple with a BLT. I can’t remember the last time I ordered a BLT. I added french fries. The BLT was good, but there wasn’t anything unusual about it. The french fries were the typical diner french fries: frozen and reheated. The Andover Diner wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t anything unusual.
Andover Diner Service: A
The hostess was friendly and our food was done in 10 minutes. Everyone was wearing a mask and I felt as though they took the pandemic very seriously.
Andover Diner Cost: $
For my BLT and french fries, it was $7.50. That’s the cost of fast food!
Overall Thoughts/Would I come back to the Andover Diner?
I liked the Andover Diner, and they did a great job of making sure everyone was safe and socially distanced. While the food wasn’t anything unusual, I would definitely like to go back and try other things on the menu.
