50 Best American Restaurants near Andover

“Just used cafe Pierrot to cater a sprinkle I was hosting. Everything was amazing! Placing the order was extremely easy- I sent an email and someone called me right away and quickly responded to any email questions I had. Everyone enjoyed the food and LOVED the cupcakes. Was able to pay in advance online so all I had to do was send someone for pick up the day of the party and everything was ready right away I think food is one of the hardest parts of planning a party. Never know what to get or how much. Being able to simply give them a number of guests and all I had to do was decide which type of salad I wanted, made this part of the party so simple and stress free! Love the one stop shopping aspect where I could get my food, sides, and even cupcakes all from one place. The spread they provide is the perfect mix and they provide the perfect amount, for an awesome price! Definitely recommend using them!!!“

“We had our small wedding at Andre's this past weekend, and I am still in awe of how fantastic the event was. Tracey is an all-star. From coordinating calls, decorating our table, marrying us, to keeping us on schedule. Andre had our whole group raving about how great the food was. From the appetizers to the cake, we really couldn't have asked for better. On top of it all, the location is STUNNING! The staff helping to serve us were so friendly and pleasant and together they all helped make sure our wedding day was the best day of our life. I can't recommend Andre's enough, and we will certainly be returning for a meal!“

“Great place! Fantastic staff, always; great food, specials; very reasonably priced.“

“I had a lovely lunch with my friend. The food was delicious and the staff were so sweet and friendly. It felt like grand dining room at a gorgeous country side. I was very happy dining here today. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Service and Food are always excellent!“

“Farmer's Daughter Restaurant is a five-star restaurant all the way around.“

“Great lunch, great staff, clean and friendly atmosphere“

“Lovely atmosphere. Very good food and great staff.“

“We celebrated a milestone birthday in the dining area next to the terrace with delicious food and great service. The bar had a large selection of beer, wine had a dozen options, plus mixed drinks. The staff let me taste a couple beers before I chose one to go with my calamari appetizer which was very large and well prepared. I do think the standout appetizer was the tuna which had an amazing citrus flavor. For my main I had the sea bass while most of the others had streaks. I thought it was delicious and the rice delicious. Maybe a tad too much butter for me, but no complaints. I skipped desert but the chocolate cake and apple tarts looked amazing. Service was top notch, my water glass was consistently filled and the staff present but not too much so. A great late afternoon dining experience.“

“We had our rehearsal dinner for our wedding at The Windlass and couldn’t have been happier with our experience. We were having a Christmas wedding and the Windlass was decorated so nicely for the holidays! It fit the vibe perfectly! Donna helped us plan our dinner every step of the way, promptly helping us with any questions we had. The waitstaff was excellent, food was delicious, and the lakefront location was gorgeous! We highly recommend the Windlass for any dinner party you may be having or even just a night out. We’ve also eaten at the restaurant on a normal night and had a great experience as well!“

“I enjoyed some aspects of this restaurant but not others. It was hard to find a parking spot. The atmosphere was very nice and friendly staff. They seem to have a lot of fried food which I personally can’t eat too much of.. and the grilled chicken was thin and dry. The wait time for our meals was long despite not being too busy.“

“Wonderful meal and service ! Highly recommend!!“

“We enjoyed The Bistro and walk on the grounds“

“Everything about Polo’s is amazing. The food is amazing the atmosphere is perfect. I know they are only in November but the Thanksgiving Egg Rolls are mouth watering perfection. Staff is friendly and attentive. Thank you for all your hard work.“

“Amazing food on a seasonal menu served by a lovely staff. Love their takeout also. Also love their off site bbq events and catering. Our favorite spot in the area.“

“September 26 2025 we had a 50 person wedding at Alice’s I can’t not say thank you loud enough, to the entire staff. The most professional, caring staff I have ever seen. The food was amazing the buffet was never empty, came in well in our budget and the views and that sunset. A special thank you to Emily she does the event planning for Alice’s from start to finish she was there with the greatest personality and smile. Being in the Event world my self for 25 years she’s definitely in my top 10 planers I have worked with..“

“Spurs are THE best chicken tenders…..my go too every time…..one of our favorite spots for good food, friendly staff…..did I mention the spurs?? And the burgers are great too!“

“The Circle is a whole experience. The interior is decorated artfully. The staff were all very polite and attentive, our waitress was so sweet and very knowledgeable about the Chefs intentions as well as the dishes. The dishes were beyond phenomenal. The presentation was beautiful and the favors were perfection. Can’t wait to return!“

“My husband and I celebrated our anniversary there last night. I requested to dine in one of their rooms. We were escorted to a small room where we enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Our waitress, Ava, was awesome. We were given a small complementary bottle of Processo which was so nice! We have been there many times before and never had a bad meal. The vintage decor there is fabolous! Highly recommended.“

“Always good service and great food.“

“Always love this place. Great variety of food, cozy atmosphere, great drink. We live 10 mins from 199, almost 30 mins from 517. I’ll take the extra 20 mins any day!!“

“Haven't been there in years. Went back to try something new. Happily surprised. Went on Friday. Brought the whole family back on Sunday. The service is excellent and very personable. Met the owner. Very nice couple. You don't feel rushed. The food is very good. Large portions so be hungry when you go. Great value. I also enjoyed the music. I just missed the piano player because I had to leave but I'll be back.“

“I can’t thank the staff of The Jefferson House enough for putting together the most perfect day!

It was far my first experience there, but this time I was the bride. The amount of pressure their event team took off of my shoulders was incredible. Their level of support and attention to detail earned my trust instantly. From handmade bouquets for me and my bridesmaids, boutonnières for my dad and the ring bearer. We all now have a timeless keepsake! They made my rustic fall lakeside dream come true with the centerpieces and decor. Michelle and Boomer ROCKED! Patty took immaculate care of the room and Sue and John kept the drinks full and on point! Service was fantastic on all fronts.

We had our ceremony out in the beautifully decorated gazebo. They reserved the downstairs for us as well in case the weather didn’t hold up, and set up an hors d'oeuvres area for the bridal party during pictures! Chef Mario’s food was spectacular from start to finish. The prime rib was absolutely divine!
I ordered a plain white cake from a local bakery and Michelle their event coordinator added roses to it to go with the theme of the ball room.

I highly recommend this venue for any party. They absolutely blew me away. I was overwhelmingly grateful for every bit of time they put into planning and executing our dream wedding. When I was nervous about the order of events they were there assuring me we were on schedule. When I wasn’t sure what poses to do for our photos, the owner stepped right in and took charge resulting in some of my favorite shots. You can tell they truly care about events as if it were their own and I’m glad it seemed as though they had fun doing it!

Thank you again J House crew!❤️
Everything was PERFECT!🥰😍“

“Drumell is hands down the BEST Applebee’s employee I’ve ever met. The guy was explaining the apps and drinks like he designed the menu himself. He knows his stuff so well that when I found out he’s only been here about two weeks, I couldn’t believe it. I would’ve guessed two years — maybe even twenty with how smooth and confident he is.

The energy he brings is contagious. He makes you want to order everything just because of how well he describes it. Honestly, he’s wasted not being a server. If Drumell was my server, I’d be throwing money at him left and right.

Applebee’s, if you’re listening: promote this man. Drumell is the kind of employee that makes people come back again and again. 🌟“

“Went on Saturday 11/8/25 Food was great and the service outstanding! Never a bad meal or experience!“

“Service and food were top level! Very attractive dining space as well.“

“The food here is FANTASTIC! You can tell they pay attention to detail, truly know flavors and how to cook. I didn’t know a gyro was supposed to taste like this! Absolutely delicious, I highly recommend. Can’t wait to come back and try more of their dishes!“

“Awesome pancakes this morning! We have eaten there for breakfast several times. Food is always fresh & delicious!“

“small spot but amazing food and vb great staff.“

“We had a 50 person party yesterday I was pleasantly surprised with the buffet they put out for us and I have to give a HUGE shout out to Matt (I’m pretty sure that was his name. Big smile and his hair in a bun). He was the wait staff taking care of all of us and he killed it! Super pleasant and he worked his butt off to serve us all. If you get Matt, take good care of him!!!!“

“Everything! The incredible food, the immaculate service, the personable staff and just plain good taste in presentation and decorating. We had our daughter's wedding catered by Krave and everyone raved about the experience. I would highly recommend them. Thank you Kate and Rich Hashway! You are the best!“

“Amazing Food! Anytime I order everything is so good! The desserts are out of this world!“

“Awesome place. Great staff great food.“

“Haven’t been to any Fuddruckers in years since they closed in Wayne,NJ. Was amazed to see a location still open. They have a large game room for the kids. One upsetting thing they didn’t have fresh bakery like other locations. Food was hot and fresh. Plus unlimited fries . Was well worth it.“

“Always have had great experiences here. Ops are consistently here but I’m separating that from the overall experience. This is not an admission of guilt, but I think one could easily take a cup from here every visit and potentially have over 14 now.“

“It's always so nice to go in there ...they are all so friendly and the food is really really good. Coffee is great. So many good conversations with the staff they make you feel so welcome. They do care about the food tasting great, it's not just like whatever here you go.“

“This is a great place to meet friends, enjoy the food and drinks ?. The food is freshly cooked and yummy choices. The atmosphere is wonderful with outside dining when the weather permits and inside has a warm, cozy atmosphere. I have introduced this Pub to new neighbors, that are new to Sussex/Warren Counties. They love it as much as I do!!

Kid-friendliness: Went for Father's Day with my adopted grandchildren and their parents ❤️ We di n Ed outside which worked out perfect.“

“This place is so charming and the food is incredible!!! We sat outside and enjoyed pancakes with berries and the special sweet potato bowl with spinach, mushrooms and pulled pork. They also have espresso drinks and my cappuccino was served with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a lovely touch. This is a wonderful spot for breakfast or lunch“

“Great little family run deli!

We get take-out sandwiches (breakfast and lunch primarily) fairly regularly from G&S.

I've only been disappointed once by a slightly stale sub roll, 99.9% of our sandwiches have been perfect, so the one roll was just a fluke.

We are ALWAYS satisfied by their terrific comfort food. I highly recommend G&S!“

“Came for dinner with another couple. The tapas eggplant was delicious, light and flavorful. Just lovely. We had two burgers and two steaks. All delicious and perfectly cooked. Service was excellent and the restaurant is beautiful, however, there is a huge bar in the middle of the restaurant. Which normally would not be an issue but this evening four young women were “working” the older men sitting at the bar. It became clear as the evening progressed that this was going on. None of us could believe what was happening right next to our table!! As the targeted men left the bar the young women quickly moved on to their next victims. It was all very obvious and pretty repulsive. Such a shame to have this type of thing happening in a lovely restaurant. I would hope management will be alerted by the bartenders that their establishment has become prey for this type of behavior. Quite unsettling.“

“Super friendly! Great food!“

“The food was good but the waiter was rude and tried to add another beverage that I did not order.“

“The Beacon was so accommodating since I planned my entire wedding dinner within a month. I needed as few headaches as possible. Edna coordinated everything! The staff was very polite and attentive. Everyone LOVED the food and atmosphere. I will be coming in regularly to try the other dishes on the menu and maybe a little line dancing.“

“I was looking for a place to hold a small(er) afternoon party for about 60 friends & family members, and McQ’s came highly recommended for great food, wonderful atmosphere, and top notch service. They did not disappoint. The general manager, Alexis was a pleasure to work with, and was helpful with menu choices, and whatever additional asks I had. (A table area for a display, AV hook-up for a slide presentation, and complimentary drink “coupons” for my guests. The entire staff (including the kitchen) was friendly, and determined to make this a fun (and delicious) event. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I give them 5 stars 🌟 out of 5.“

“Great food and service. We were a large group and the food came out all around the same time and was delicious.“

“We love this place:) Great food & friendly staff.“

“Great food and drinks.“

“Justine and Lindsey are the greatest!! Perfect experience at st Moritz this evening!“

“We always have the best experience here and highly recommend next time you’re thinking about dining out. Food is awesome. The staff is so friendly and attentive. Service is fast, the restaurant is always clean and the overall atmosphere is so welcoming. Keeps us coming back regularly!“
