Restaurants near Riverdale

“In the area and I needed something to eat. So I stopped in Andy's, got the grilled chicken sandwich and French fries. Sandwich was delicious, perfectly cooked, and the fries were the skinny shoestring ones, my favorite!

Great food and service, if you're looking for a place to get a good bite to eat, stop in.
Don't be fooled by its unassuming appearance”

“I ordered a small veggie fried rice. It was good but the container is SUPER small and the price is a bit high $10.50. I know groceries prices are outrageous but rice, 🥕 and 🍄 are still pretty cheap. Green peppers are on the expensive side if not on sale but there wasn't enough peppers to justify the cost. Thats my opinion.”

“Amazing tacos 🌮 and I put there sauce on everything now 🤷🏽‍♀️”

“Fast service and nice and hot”

“Was skeptical because of the negative reviews I read about the service and the food. But I must say I had a positive experience 😌… Got the catfish lunch Special, it was firer 🔥🙌🏽… Didn’t know what I wanted Initially, the cashier was helpful didn’t rush me or make me feel like I was holding her time. She even verified with the cook if I was ordering the right fish and helped others while I thought about what I wanted. Her name was Evelyn, customer service skills go crazy. Very pleasant and attentive to customers. Which is rare these days🤷🏽‍♀️. Best $10 I spent all week on some food 😋… so good forgot to take a picture… Glad I came in to see for
Myself or would’ve missed out..”

“I was visiting from Canada and we stopped here to grab a quick bite for lunch! The food was incredible, I had the rib tips and they did not disappoint! Thank you 🙏”

“When heading towards Beverly for a property management home inspection, I wanted to find a local coffee joint that I could get a coffee and a snack of some sort. Afro Joe's was calling to me. Walking in, greeted warmly, the adventure began. If you haven't been, check the menu before you go because you will want to order one of each item! Since it was my first time, most certainly NOT the last, I needed a lifeline. Charmaine to the rescue. I don't know if I manifested or she read my mind , but when I asked which sandwich I should order instantly , she said the short rib! Boom! Done. Next up, a drink choice. Again I was not led astray. The option was a blueberry lavender cold brew topped with rose cold foam. As she was suggesting the option, Charmaine lifted the one she was drinking and again instantly sold. No chocolate croissant available since it was later in the morning but the chocolate morning roll was there and three for three, the order was placed. I already know that I have to come back, time and time again.Just walking in such a chill vibe , perfect music, everyone tables either working or chatting with a friend. The open kitchen invites you to see the hustle and bustle. The garage doors roll up onto the patio for warmer days and what appears to be local art work adorns the walls. When I tell you, this is absolutely no exaggeration, every item was on point! The short rib was so flavor forward eith the bite of picked onions, there was a side of diced pickles and onions too. Also a hit. The warm bun had some fruit nestled in its chocolatey tummy, flakes and moist with the richness of cocoa. And for the latte, cold, sweet and the flavors all complimented each other so well. I did opt for whole milk because, why not?!? I had one too many client emails and texts to be able to enjoy grabbing a book from the shelf but note, they even had the sharpest of colored pencils to doodle or write a note with. I have not one complaint, well, maybe one, I wish they were in my neighborhood because this would be a staple place to visit regularly! Until we meet again and I can get my hands on a chocolate croissant next...or any one of the other of their baked goods. Support your Local Black Owned Businesses!”

“In 2017, I picked up my older brother at Midway to come home to the funeral of our youngest brother that committed suicide at 23 yers old. We swung over to Vito and Nick's to get a pizza and talk. It was our first time there. We ended up telling the waitress the situation because we had both been crying. Next thing we know, the kitchen had par-baked like 8 large pizzas of all types, and gave us a hand-written note giving us condolences and instructions on how to finish baking the pizzas. They said they wanted to make sure my family was well-fed in our time of tragedy ❤ And the pizza is INCREDIBLE ❤ SPECIAL, SPECIAL PLACE”

“As I had recently arrived from Denver, CO to pay my brother a visit. He treated me by taking me to the King of Falafel & Shawarma. The cook/cashier took our order; falafels with hummus and a mixed dish with rice and various meats (the Junior). I cannot stress enough the delicious flavors of every single food I put in my mouth. I was saddened to realize that I would have to go back home and not enjoy this food on a regular basis. So on my last day of vacationing, I went back and ordered numerous amounts of those delicious dishes, which I was able to take back on the flight and ultimately freeze for later enjoyment. I highly recommend this restaurant. Because aside from the delicious food, the staff were very courteous, warm and inviting. 5 stars out of 5!”

“Great cookies, great little pies and great cakes. They have different stuff every week.So, check the menu for the week.Then choose what you want.And you before you go there or you can go there and just look at it because they have samples sitting out you don't , you can't stand on there just there for you to see what they look like”

“This coffee shop is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is warm, inviting and perfect for relaxing, studying or catching up with friends. This place is also filled with beautiful greenery and gives such calm, and refreshing vibes. Ixxa coffee is top-notch- rich, smooth and clearly made with care and the teas are just as impressive. The baristas are super friendly, knowledgeable, and always make you feel welcome. Whether you’re here to sip a latte, browse the plants, or just soak in the cozy ambiance, this spot is pure perfection.”

“Una verdadera experiencia española, gracias estimada Sra. Blanca por sus atenciones”
