Andys' Roadside Dive

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

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!

Several interesting combinations for hot dogs. For the adventurous, try The Count! The Identity Crisis was also excellent. 7/25/21 Just went to their new location. It's even better! Had the Everybody Loves Ramen and my son had the Mr. Potato Dog. Fantastic!!! This is a must go destination for any hot dog pilgrimage. 6/17/22 Enjoyed a Shnitz-n-giggles and of course a Dive Dog. Great as usual.

Andy's has the best and most creative dogs, period... He rotates the menu with new stuff and brings the old fans back from time to time.. Today as pictured I had a "Pig Dog", a standard menu item, and I was accommodated with an item not currently on the menu, but since Andy had the ingredients, I got my wish. A "Boom Shaka Lok" with a cyno algae cream.... yum... enjoy and don't be afraid to try something new...

We have been waiting a while to hit up @andysroadside dive. Snow has been delaying us. Between Andy & Katie not being able to open and the #BigDudes plowing...We finally made it ! The dawgs were amazing ! Joe had the #PigDog and the #DirkDoggler . I had the #MacToTheFuture and the #NachoDogito . All 4 were delicious.

Passed by this place a million times and today I stopped to support the Underdog in tte NJ Hot Dog Contest. Andy was awesome, shared some food stories.as he prepared about 5 different hot dogs. They were all outstanding. You can tell how passionate he is about hot dogs in every aspect. Dont judge the dog by its cover. No fancy way to order you hot dogs here, no corporate cookie cutter lines here, just great hot dogs. I wo ne back for more.
