Good food, good prices, great hours.

by patrickbad

I read the review where the people had to wait outside. Well, duh! If you have been inside you know how small this place is. I know some people dont care how the server is going to get you the food, but trust me on a busy night with drunk people everywhere, you need the space to deliver the food. Besides this place isn't your repsite from the rain anytime you need it. Grow up. This is a diner. You are not the center of the universe. So, if someone wakes you up ,you throw a fit and write a bad review? I have ate here many times. The food is good, the hours are great. And the service could be better, you get what you pay for.

• Pros: Food, Price, Hours
• Cons: Parking, wait, more choices

The Line is Outside - Rain or Shine

by cxarli

I've been eating at Orphan Andy's for more years than I care to admit to. It has always been the policy that if seating is not immediately available, you must wait outside. Nor is Orphan Andy's the only establishment that has such a policy (e.g., Kate's Kitchen and The Pork Store).

Orphan Andy's is your basic American short-order kitchen with average portion sizes. Depending on the cook, food quality can range from tolerable to very good. I can't recall when I had anything I'd call "excellent." Service can be a bit slow at peak times or if there's a rush when only one server is working.

The main reasons to eat at Orphan Andy's are: (a) you're hungry when everything else is closed; (b) you like to watch the rainbow of people passing by; (c) you like looking at the cute guys (and the occasional gal) behind the counter; (d) you fancy a Monte Cristo Sandwich and can't think of anyplace else that has it on the menu.

• Pros: Ambiance, Location, Open 24-Hours
• Cons: Parking
