I finally got to Andy's after everyone telling me I had to try it out. I was not disappointed! If you are a fan of hotdogs, you must try what Andy has to offer. I tried The Pig Dog and a new option that wasn't even on the menu yet. He warned me it would be a LOT of food and he wasn't kidding, but it was so good I managed to finish it all. Try it out, then go back and try again!I will definitely be returning.

Good variation of toppings to choose from, the hot dog is good. Whenever you can sprinkle some bacon on anything I’m happy, the chili turned out to be the best topping however.

The Hot Dogs and Service are outstanding. Andy is one of a kind and a true gem. Each time I stop by the experience gets better and better. I highly recommend the Chili Dog and the endless ways you can make a custom pile of fries.Long Live Andys!!

If you love hot dogs this is the place! Andy and his wife are super friendly. The place is small with only 3 tables, i would recommend taking the order to go.

Long time Andy’s customer and I’ve since moved out of the area but when I come through North Jersey I never skip an opportunity to have the best and most creative and delicious hotdogs. Andy‘s is constantly giving back to the community and partnering with the local school system for fundraisers. It’s a true example of a local community restaurant. Don’t get a Boring Dog. Try something unique

Awesome hot dogs and fries. My favorites were "Stay Puft Ghost Pepper Dog" and "Roscoe's Modern Fries". Really unique flavors! Very friendly staff.

I’m not sure how this isn’t rated as the best hot dog place in jersey. Andy’s will give your mouth the orgasm it’s been craving since Davy’s dogs has become trash. Go to Andy’s, eat at Andy’s, have a mouth-gasm at Andy’s and buy a shirt at Andy’s.

Recently saw an article written by Peter Genovese with a ranking of the top 50 Hot Dog rankings in New Jersey. Was pleasantly surprised to see a Morris County hot dog location make the top ten and happy to see that Andy's Roadside Dive was ranked #5. I've been know to take long road trips for a good dog and was happy this spot was close to home.Stopped in for a late lunch and a few others had the same idea. Prior to arriving, I never really looked at the menu and was planning on achilli dog. However, once I arrived and saw the menu, my plan quickly fell apart.Was intrigued by the hot dog creations that were available, and while wanting a classic chilli dog, realized I had to pick a specialty dog.I picked the Han Tsolo (Mtn Dew rice, steamed broccoli, chicken nuggets, General Tso sauce, and hot crushed pepper blend) mainly because it was a new menu item and asol because I probably will never come across this combination again. Also ordered Dive Fries (Fresh, Hand-cut Freedom Fries with W’ham seasoning)The meal was spectacular! While the combination may sound off, it was a great lunch. The freedom fries were also a great addition to the meal. While I often grab meals to go, was happy to have ordered to dine in. With outside and inside dining options available, being it was nicely air-conditioned, I opted for the indoor experience.After eating the dog and fries, had some room for one more and went with the Dive Dog (Andy’s chili & Andy’s onions all over your dog) which was also a fantastic combination.Definitely will be back again to try some of the other creations that were on the menu. While waiting for the food and eating, had a nice conversation with Andy himself and he was a great guy to talk to.Having been there since 2011, I'm a bit bummed that I've never heard of this place before, especially since it's so close to home. Will definitely be back in the future.

Andy is a weenie wizard! A weenie artisan if you will. His specialty dogs are amazing. They rotate often so make sure you follow him on social media. Might even catch wind of experimental new dogs. I've never met someone who's so specific about what he does. He really goes all out everytime. He's the only one making and serving all the hotdogs. Specifically for quality control reasons. I enjoyed watching him prepare our order. You can see he's very passionate about what he does. Love all the art on the walls. I would 1000% recommend it and would happily go again! I do advise trusting our good weenie master when he says to trust him and try something more daring than a chili dog. You won't regret it. I had "the Mac to the future" and "the stay puft ghost pepper dog". Both were great can't decide which one I loved more!Kid-friendliness: I feel this place is kid friendly nothing there is inappropriate. They may enjoy all the drawings and pictures all over the walls. Nothing to color didn't notice booster seats or highchairs but it's not really a restaurant type place. Has a sit in area and outdoor spot to sit.Parking: It's in a small strip mall it's shared parking with the other businessesWheelchair accessibility: I don't recall seeing stairs but everything appears to be street lvl. May need someone to help open a door if your wheel chair bound but I admit I didn't pay that much attention. The seating areas could easily be adjusted fir a wheel chair if need be

Awesome local hot dog shop, really creative hot dogs and cool theme. Owner is pretty chill, price point is a little high (for a hot dog), but the food is good and the place is definitely worth checking out!
