    After we finished eating. All that was left was my ramen, our fries, corn and some potatoes.

    5 stars! 10/10! Great food! Our server was amazing! He was very sweet and personable. The whole restaurant was empty on this Monday afternoon, which kinda surprised me because where we came from (Atlanta) the crab spots are full almost all day. But since it was empty, we were seated immediately and the food came out very fast! The ambiance was great because the music played was current hits, the tables were clean, the seats were comfy, and it was just very laid back. The food....my god... THE FOOD! It was so freakin good. It reminds me of the Juicy Crab in Atlanta where we used to eat at all the time. The sauces were good. I got Cajun and my husband got the garlic butter sauce. BOTH were delicious. The fries were sooooo good and hot. Like FRESH! The cheese sticks for our appetizer was amazing. My husband's fav appetizer is cheese sticks and he said these were some of the best he's ever had, so that's saying something. Everything was fairly priced and it was overall a great experience. This is our anniversary so we hoped it would be good and it exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be returning.

    Shrimp basket w sweet potato fries

    First time coming to this restaurant and we certainly won't be coming back. The best part of the meal were the crab meat fries although it didn't get a whole lot of crab meat with it. The catfish basket was very bland and it literally tasted like Andy's seasoning was used. The shrimp basket fries were pretty good but the shrimp tasted overdone/rubbery. Waitress kept ghosting us and we never got refills of our drinks. We waited 20 minutes to get our bill and that was also after she went to a different table to get their order first then came over to us. Men's bathroom was disgusting.

    Came here for a girls night out. I was looking forward to the DJ and karaoke they supposedly have every Saturday night but unfortunately nothing was going on this night. Bummer! So the service was not great. My sister got her food like 30 minutes before everyone else so we had to watch her eat while we waited. Also the server was not great at remembering our orders, we had to repeat ourselves numerous times about our orders. The food was great! I ordered a crab leg and shrimp boil, you can choose from like 4 different flavors. I got the garlic butter it was delicious. The boil only comes with one corn on the cob and two potatoes, you have to order sausage and eggs separately. The drinks were good. This place would be a lot better if the service was better and the bathrooms weren't that clean either.

    Clean restaurant, friendly staff and the food is very delicious! Good for families, large groups or date night. Can't wait to go back and try more from their menu!

    2 stars only for the amount of food you get, 1 star for the flavor. The food temperature was hot (good) but the boil was lacking flavor! Plus I got the special #1 which was over $40.00. Which is typical for a nice size boil. But it was lacking flavor. The restaurant was quiet with a few parties inside. My waiter was nice.

    The food is okay but it is overpriced. The complaint I have about the food is that it is overly salty to the point it overtakes the food.

    My husband didn't put the turkey wings in the oven when he was supposed to so we had no dinner. I…read moretold him to put on something pretty because I was taking him out instead. I gave him 2 choices we both opted for the cheddar biscuits. Parked right up front and was seated immediately. I was used to there always being a wait no matter which day of the week you went. Our waitress was nice. She was efficient and because the place was empty we felt a little rushed. She kept offering refills of my drink and it wasn't yet at the half way mark. We came for the biscuits and they came out at almost room temperature. I really wanted a hot biscuit. However, I felt with the efficiency of our waitress, if there were hot biscuits we would have had them. They don't offer a salad with your meal anymore. I didn't know. We haven't been in a while. I went to the restroom. It was clean but gave me a chance to walk through the restaurant. I have never seen it so empty. Our entrees were arriving when I got back. My husband enjoyed his shrimp. My pasta was good but salty. As a result I couldn't eat much of it. The two of us had a good time laughing and talking over our meal. Around 7pm it started to pick up. I was glad to see that. I don't want the location to close. Times are just different I guess. I'm used to the crowd that was and not the shell that remains.

    So I was in Fairview Heights Sunday and found out it was the last night of the AYCE shrimp so here…read moreI am. Been craving the Walt's favorite shrimp. Probably get a couple orders and a scampi. Bay biscuits are delicious as ever everything cooked perfectly...

    I want to really like Andria's, they almost have it. I would say 3.5 stars, but not 4. I had…read morefriends discourage me from going when I initially said we are going to Andria's to eat. For what they aim for and the prices they charge, I think they could improve. The restaurant is the same classic building they've always been in, I do appreciate the historic vibe. Service overall is not terrible, but that's where it fell short for me. The food is above average but below great. All of which could easily be refined with just a little bit more effort. Server was unpolished for trying to be a nice steakhouse. I'll leave it at that. Cocktails I ordered were basic, no complaints there. I did request and get served what I wanted, but the receipt rang up a different higher priced vodka, whatever. The food was good. We had the marinated mushroom appetizer. I did intend for the stuffed mushroom. I didn't complain once it got to the table, not worth it. It was great. Main was chateaubriand for two. Sides were Brussels sprouts, French fries, and vegetables. The side dishes were all great. The steak we asked cooked rare, but it came out cold. The server did scoff at us when we initially requested rare, trying to push us to med-rare, I said "then let's make it rare+, like 128° center" and server said they would note exactly that. It came out as pictured.. we ate it all and enjoyed. I do like the char/grill taste with the Andria's sauce. Must ask for extra dipping sauce. I did buy two bottles of sauce at the store to take back home with me out of state. I didn't complain on anything and still tipped cash above 20%. I hadn't eaten here since 2019 and also got the chateaubriand back then. I think I will stick to coming back once every 7+ years for nostalgia and taking the sauce home instead.

    we joined the Napa Valley dinner event and it was fabulous! The food and wine pairings were superb…read more looking forward to more events like this.
