The two stars go exclusively to the patient and friendly waitress ( a young woman with short ,dark, up swept hair) and the busboy and host. They were very sweet and attentive. No stars for the food. It was my friends turn to pick the spot for a late lunch. I hesitated when she said Andies, because about three years ago I had a really mediocre veggie plate there. But my friend seemed to want to give it a shot, so I agreed. I ordered a kefta with dill rice and the rice tasted like a moldy dish towel. The kefta was dry and chewy. I sampled my friend's dish, a angel hair sea food pasta. This also tasted like dirty laundry. We did not complain, mostly because I was under a time constraint, but I won't be back here to drop another $50 on leftovers. read more

I order a curried dish and it was not very good at all, served cold! My grape leaves were buried in the hummus appetizer, it looked like a mistake and I've never eaten it like that. The service was slow, too. read more

Went with two friends last weekend after staring at it as I walked by. My friends got the chicken lemon soup (perfect!) and a few appetizers which they each loved. I got the vegetarian combination #3 and loved it! Basmati rice, dolma, stuffed artichokes, falafel- what's not to love? Definitely going to go back and get that and many other things. Plus, they have specials on wine flights and display the glasses really well. Go check it out! read more

Wow! Service was outstanding (thank you Jessica!!) and the meal was outstanding! The gluten free pita was such a treat for my mom coupled with the homemade hummus. The amount of delicious and tender chicken and salad you get with the 1/2 greek chicken/greek salad was incredibly priced. Great atmosphere and location. I will definitely be back!! read more

I have been eating at Andies since they first opened. It has always been a reliable option. But the last two times have changed my mind. To be fair, both times have been delivery, but you should be able to deliver the same quality as if I were dining in. However, that has not been the case. Both times, the quality and quantity of the food has been lacking. The food has aslo been cold. I don't know what has changed, but they have been removed from my Droid. Sorry, Andies.... read more

My family really likes Andies so I go here often, but honestly, I find their food to be a bit underwhelming, sometimes even on the bland side. They do make a very good doll rice, and I like their dip combo appetizer that has various dips like hummus and babaganoush. Their entrees though leave more to be desired. Friendly staff and nice space. read more

This is the worst food I have ever received from a restaurant. I just threw out $40 worth of food. Steak kebab and beef, charbroiled, supposedly, charbroiled - don't ever get it. I have written maybe one review out of the hundreds of times I've ordered food, good or bad. It takes a lot for me to write any review at all. Vegetables warmed up not cooked, as well as meat. Absolutely revolting taste to both. Everything was a waste. read more

Came to Andies with friends on a Friday night for dinner and drinks. We were seated right away, our server Matthew was great but I can't say the same for the meal. We ordered feta & olives as an appetizer which was ok, I mean you can't really go wrong with that. However our meal was subpar at best. I ordered the sautéed spinach with garbanzo beans. From the description I was expecting something amazing but what I received was room temperature dill rice topped with something that resembled creamed spinach with about 6 garbanzo beans on the entire plate. My friends ordered the crab cake salad and the other had curry vegetables with couscous (which she loved, maybe I should've ordered what she had). Anyway 3 stars for service and 0 for the food. read more

Ordered through Grubhub for delivery and had to contact the restaurant after after waiting over 90 minutes. Spoke to 3-4 people after being repeatedly placed on hold and hung up on several times. Was initially told the order had been made for pick-up, then was told it was delivered despite receiving no notification from the driver to pick up our food from the lobby. Food was cold and looked as if it had been assembled last minute. I had the gyro dinner and it consisted of a few shreds of gyro meat on a pile of fries. I paid for extra tzatziki and instead received extra tahini sauce. Overall a very disappointing experience. I will not be back again. read more

Me and my wife love this place. A neighborhood staple. They have the friendliest service every time we go in. The food never disappoints.

After our reservation was dumped by Lady Gregory's across the street, my family of eight adults and one child went into Andies and were welcomed with open arms. It was a wonderful turn of events. Andies is pretty, with a hearth, and is very inviting. The layout is conducive to privacy and yet has an open feeling. the food is a delicious fusion, and there were fresh and fabulous choices for the vegans as well as the meat-eaters in our group. The glogg was great! There were several good choices for brunch drinks. The friendly and attentive waiter, and kind and welcoming host/owner made Lady G's just a bad memory. We want to try Andies at all times of day. It will be our favorite restaurant from now on. read more

Food is fantastic! You can never go wrong with their seasonal risotto's. Their cheesecake is great too. It's nice when the have the doors open because the foot traffic in Andersonville is full of great locals and their pets....everyone is so nice in the area. I have been able to take my two children here without being placed in a dark corner away from everyone (because I understand people don't like being seated near children, but they're not all bad!) Service is always great, and they are very tentative, but not smothering. They have beautiful presentation....well, more like the food sells itself! I just went there again this past Saturday with my son and have the Autumn Squash Risotto...it was fabulous! Try out this restaurant. Sometimes they have groupons. They have Gluten Free, vegetarian, and vegan options. Those options are not necessary for myself, but I think it's good to pass along that info to others so that those who have diet restrictions know they can be accommodated. read more

My wife and I stopped in at Andie's tonight for dinner. We've lived in the neighborhood for 5 years, and have never tried this place, so we decided to check it out. The service was prompt and friendly. We ordered some wine and some baba ganoush as an appetizer, which was quite good. After that, things went downhill. I ordered the "house specialty", the grilled ribeye with mango salsa, and my wife ordered the gyros plate. My ribeye was pretty bad. I ordered it medium rare, and it was cooked well done. Additionally, the cut of meat was something that you would expect to buy at Jewel, and over 1/3rd of it was a big chunk of fat that I couldn't even eat. The couscous served with it was good, but the grilled veggies were pretty bland and awful. The gyros came without a pita! My wife asked why there was no pita, and the waiter said that you can use the pita chips that were served as bread on the table. Additionally, the lamb was also well done, and a little tough. The dessert tray looked pretty bland, so we skipped the dessert and called it a night. While the service was good, this restaurant is below average at best, and with the amount of other great restaurants in the neighborhood, I would recommend skipping this one. I know we won't be back. read more

A Mediterranean restaurant that denotes the vegan options right on their menu. They have creative options to contrast the standard mediterranean fare that are surprisingly tasty. (Hello Potato Chop!) Atmosphere is comfy but the service can run spotty. They have another location nearby on Montrose. read more

I see "Andy T" the business owner lurks here so I hope he responds. My guess is he won't but I'm not beneath shaming him into explaining what is clearly a pattern. We went here on New Year's Eve with a guest from out of town. It was a horrible snowstorm but we ventured into the city solely because Andie's offered free parking. The food was fine, nothing spectacular but a decent value despite sub-par service for a holiday evening. The bill pre-tax and tip for 3 of us came to around $75, however, which was a great deal. We left happy. Then we ventured out into the snow directly to get our car to go home. It was gone. It had been towed by Lincoln Towing. We had parked in a legal spot, the car right that was parked next to ours when we arrived was still there. We returned and the manager was familiar enough with the story that before I even finished he had stock answers already prepared AND Lincoln Towing on speed dial. He wasn't very enthusiastic about getting our car back and quickly shooed us out the door and into the blizzard with $10 for cab fare even though we'd just ate there.. Outrageous. They're clearly in cahoots with Lincoln Towing. There was no follow up, no offer to cover the expense not even an effort to placate us with a complimentary whatever on our next visit. "This is a pretty rare thing," we were told and we must have parked illegally. His words were still hanging in the air when two more couples returned to the restaurant with the same problem. The bill to get our car out was 2x the cost of dinner and they clearly continue to rip off customers with this scam. I plan to complain to the neighborhood Chamber of Commerce as well as the Alderman. read more

I was in the Andersonville nieghborhood and the only reason I ate here was because there was outdoor patio seating. The ownership is kind- and they are there to please you. It's a good chatty environment for families with young children and the buffet deal is so cheap so if you're not looking to eat anythign special, then just come here. The food is mediocre but it's not terrible. I would just never come back. read more

I have been to Andies enough at this point to say it would be a disservice not to write them an upstanding review. My visits have included; dates, dinners w/friends, carry out...a nice cross-section. I've ordered a number of different dishes and have been very pleased. Two standouts are the gyros and the seasoned kabobs w/dill rice. They also have some amazing starters, and the baklava is so rich and indulgent it makes you feel like royalty (even if you just scarfed down a gyros and fries). Each time I have been in the staff has been extremely attentive and friendly. Sometimes even to the point of flirty...but who's complaining?! I think this place is especially nice in the warm months, you can sit out front and enjoy downtown Andersonville. It's definitely worth checking out. read more

While longtime loyalists and those who don't care about the quality of their food may disagree, there hasn't been a good reason to eat at Andies since 1993. In recent decades, the North Side has suffered from an overabundance of inexpensive, delicious middle eastern cuisine. Andies fails in both of those respects, delivering milquetoast renditions of dishes that might otherwise function as nouveau comfort food for the contemporary urban bourgeoisie. There are so many better options in the immediate vicinity that unless you have a severe mobility impairment or no taste buds, look elsewhere for your hummus and falafel fix. read more

I heart Andies. Basmati rice, flaming cheese, avgolemeno, kabobs.......who could ask for more? Oh you COULD ask for more you say? How do you feel about two working fireplaces and bottomless (delicious) pita bread? Still not sold? Maybe the Glogg will whet your whistle. Well, perhaps not. While I love Andies (and they love me too, in fact I got a call from them saying I won 50% off any entree in their business card drawing just yesterday!) the one area in which they are lacking??? The falafels. They are a little dry and not too flavorful. Go for something (nearly anything) else and you won't be sorry. read more

I enjoyed the food and service. The food itself was good and fresh but a little bland. And on their menu, it states "Turkish" coffee, when in fact, it's not. It's Greek coffee. I was expecting Turkish coffee based on the menu stating that. read more

What ? Great martinis, great fresh dishes, and great service. You have to go to andie's right away! Their chicken dishes plus ka-bobs and soup/salads are just sooo Mmmm good. Check them out! read more

Overpriced gyros and they ran out of pita. By the time we got the pita our gyro meat was cold and the pita was scorching hot. Slow service..a hole in the wall Greek place is probably better and cheaper read more

I went to Andie's on Clark for the first time a couple of days ago with my aunts and cousin. I have walked by this place a couple of times and never thought how nice the inside was! It's nice! But, the food was really good too! All of the people at the table seemed to really enjoy their food! My dish was very beautiful and delicious! I took some food home and ate it the next night and I have to say, it was even better as seconds. I recommend this place for a fun date night or just a sit as a group dinner. The staff all catered to needs of our table and there was never a glass empty with water. KUDOS!! read more

After not being here for a few years, things have actually improved since I was here last. I thought Andie's was a great place for Mediterranean food after the first time I went, but now they've got that traditional edge with their style of cuisine as well as some GLUTEN-FREE PITA. I've been on a hunt for a long time for gluten-free pita, and I always imagined finding it and having to spend an outrageous amount of money for some. However, Andie's treated the gluten-free pita the same as regular pita, and they brought it out free of charge at the beginning of our meal. Gluten-free items are also clearly labeled on the menu which is not a usual thing for most restaurants(although a lot of restaurants are starting to catch on to the trend, thank the lord). Aside from Andie's becoming my new GF savior, the food was delicious. We got the sampler plate with the usual hummus, ghannouj, patata, and harissa. The harissa was probably the best thing on that plate. It was spicy, yet surprisingly sweet. I went with a simple chicken and beef kefta kabob order. I was in need of some solid Mediterranean staples. Nothing to complain about there. Our server was extremely friendly too. My friend and I were there to catch up on the past five months where we had barely talked to each other, and although we didn't tell him this, our waiter caught that we weren't in a rush at all so he gave us some space. We also left with some five dollar gift certificates for the next time around which I hope will be in the near future. Also just realized that it's called Andie's because it's in Andersonville. Like it's Andersonville's restaurant or something like that. Very clever you guys....... read more

I've ordered from Andies several times and they never disappoint. Our most recent visit was takeout due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We had the chicken kabob skewers that come with fresh vegetables, pita and tzatzki sauce, grass fed braised lamb shank with vegetables, and the curry chicken couscous with the mild tomato sauce. The menu has a great selection of Mediterranean items with vegetarian options. read more

It can get busy here but it's well worth it if you come by at off hours. I'm more of a beer person but their Sangria is to die for. I've had several different plates here but my favorite thing to do is get hummus and pita and just hang out and people watch. read more

The meat on my entree was basically inedible yet I'm giving this place a solid five star rating. Why, you ask? Well, its all about customer service. We decided to bring an out-of-town guest to Andies upon her arrival to Chicago last night. Remembering the fabulous meal I had there last month, my mouth was salivating at the thought of another great dinner at Andies. However, when my entree of kabobs arrived, I was incredibly disappointed. The steak kabob was particularly chewy and gross. It was like gristle. Getting through the first bite was tough and by the second, I ended up having to use my napkin to spit out my food. Urgh. Such disappointment. But at the same time, I was engrossed in conversation with my dinner companions so I didn't say much. After a bit of time, our server came to check on us and noticed my plate was barely touched. He immediately inquired and I politely told him why I had stuck to the couscous and left the beef. He was very apologetic, without being overbearing and offered to bring me another dish. By then, I'd filled up on the couscous enough that the thought of another meal was just not something to consider. He apologized once more and instructed me to let him know if I changed my mind. A few minutes later, the manager came over and we had a similar round of conversation. I never felt pressure and he certainly didn't waste time on being defensive which I appreciated. Instead, it was clear his genuine desire was to make it right. He insisted on taking the entree off our bill and in tern, I assured him that I was full enough not to require another meal prepared. We continued on with our meal and as my friends finished their entrees (which they said were delicious), the manager came out with a complimentary baklava. It was amazing and left the meal on such a positive note for everyone at the table. What it boils down to is this - despite a poor entree, Andies has secured a spot as a Chicago favorite for one simple reason - I know that if I go there, they will do anything and everything to make sure I walk out a happy customer. And really... what more can you ask for? read more

From Hummus to Cous Cous from Lamb Kabob to Dill Rice, it's ALL yummy! Delivery is as good as in restaurant. Service is great. I just LOVE this place. Try the vanilla ice cream - to die for! What can I say, I'm a fan . . . read more

I like Andie's overall. It's a bit of a blast from the past with the Lebanese/ Mediterranean faux decor etc... I love the European glass front that opens into the air. It's just a pity that traffic on Clark is usually so heavy & the street almost butts right to the tables that you end up eating more exhaust fumes then food if you sit there but that's Chicago. With any restaurant that has a great many items on the menu, quality will always suffer as it will when a restaurant is so popular that it's often totally packed and so it is with Andie's like on weekend nights. It's a trade off, you either go to Greece or Italy or Lebanon or get a meal that is reminiscent of it, at places like this. So what we have here is a basic tourist Feed Hall and the tourist can be actual tourist from like Iowa or Nebraska or working in Chicago residents that are also from like, allover the map, sort of resident tourist. One last thing is, I thought the prices, though not really high, were pushing the envelope a bit for the quality of the food. But then perhaps one must pay a bit extra for the illusions that the place might afford one with a very vivid imagination??? read more

I found this restaurant on Amazon and wasn't sure what to expect. What a nice surprise. The food arrived hot and well packaged. Everything was delicious. I had a traditional gyro, side of vegetables and the avgolemon soup. The gyro meat was delicious and the soup was authentic. The side of veggies was very large and yummy. It's not easy to find great delivery options other than pizza. Super content. read more

If you really want delicious Mediterranean fare, go next door to Reza's. Andies isn't bad but for the price you pay, Reza's has better food quality and ambiance. read more

Made the trip to Andersonville for a friend's birthday party. The service and ambiance at this place are really great. The decor is Mediterranean inspired and our server made sure every need was taken care of. Unfortunately the food quality and price do not make for a good value. Some of the vegetarian dishes were decent but my braised rabbit was bland and uninspired. It was definitely not worth the price. Sadly this bunny died in vain. My recommendation: Give them a try based on the service alone....and avoid the wabbit! read more

We have dined here for brunch, dinner and take out. I find that most of the food is fine and tastes good, it just isn't a memorable place. Ordering gyros for take out seems to be our norm the last year. It is a quick phone call and easy walk to pick up dinner. Two things that happened which I felt were kind of odd. The first while at dinner I did not order alcohol and was pretty much dismissed. Fine so be it. However, when picking up take out after drinking (and not fall down drunk) I was asked if I would be waiting outside? Ummm no I am going to sit right here on this bench. I get it...as long as I am purchasing your alcohol it is ok. read more

I ordered lunch to go. I thought for sure that this would be the spot for some Grecian chicken. I think I served the leftovers from the night before and over cooked it. Very dry and disappointing. Perhaps, I will give them another try some day, but they blew their chance at a good first impression. read more

I walked into Andies on Mothers Day. They have a special menu and a buffet. We order an appetizer of Saganacki Oppa for $9 and split an order of 3 Cheese Baked Mou-saka Gorgonzala for $16.95. I get the bill and there is a menu included. I look at the menu and see the same items Saganacki $7.75 and 3 Cheese Baked Mou-saka Gorgonzala for $12.95. The guy overseeing the restaurant comes by and asks me how everything was. I point of that he has jacked the prices up for Mothers Day. He says well today is a special day. He is right it is a special day to take advantage of his customers and doing so all the while providing a convenient menu to see the mark up. A square piece of Saganacki is the same size and constancy Mothers Day as it is M-F. I give this 1 star on ethics. When I pointed this out there should have been a price adjustment. And by the way our waitress was very pushy to get us to order. I had to tell her to back off and let us talk for a few minutes. read more

A trip to Andies for Easter brunch was enough to make our palates come alive!! I especially loved the endless supply of olives and baba ganoush. The service was great, considering it was a busy Sunday, and the live music (only on Sundays) was as sweet as the baklava. read more

Stopped in for lunch with my husband and our baby (five and a half months old at the time) on a quiet Tuesday afternoon. The food was quite good - I had the lamb burger and my husband had the new biryani, which was gorgeous. What really impressed me, however, was the waiter's attitude toward our son: he asked if we needed a high chair, a drink for him, or a nibble. It's the most person-like our kid has ever been treated by restaurant staff, and the most thoughtfully we've been treated as parents as well: just a simple recognition of potential needs, the idea that there were three people at the table rather than two-plus-a-fraction. read more

Andie's has delicious Mediterranean food and a very good atmosphere. In the summer, their window/doors are wide open and very inviting. I definitely recommend going here to try out the food and enjoy their drinks. The staff is very friendly and helpful, so head on up to Andersonville to get a bite anytime! read more

Food was amazing and loved the waitress Tara. This is a must try and make sure you stop in if you're in Andersonville

I just recently ordered from Andies for the first time. For about $30, my friend and I had a FEAST with enough leftovers for two more lunches! You get a ton of food and it's all delicous. I especially love their chicken-lemon soup. Delivery was really fast and everything arrived hot. read more
