Andrea's Family Restaurant 1498 Havendale Boulevard Northwest, Winter Haven, FL 33881

"Andres's is one of our favorite eateries. They have a wide variety of food on the menu plus the daily specials. The portions are very generous, and everything we've eaten there has been great. If they have the pineapple shrimp and chicken as a special when you visit, I highly recommend it. The staff is friendly and efficient. I highly recommend you try Andrea's whether you are local or passing through."

"Nothing at this restaurant is perfect but all the quirks make this one of the most charming spots in Winter Haven. Some of the dishes like the fried chicken are out of this world good. The fried catfish, gyros, souvlaki, and Greek salad are also really good. Would recommend for lunch especially."

"Andrea’s Family Restaurant offers a variety of dishes in a cozy and inviting atmosphere. While our visit provided a decent dining experience, the restaurant fell short of meeting our expectations in certain aspects, resulting in a mixed review. Upon entering Andera's, we were greeted by a friendly and attentive server who promptly seated us. The service throughout our meal was exceptional, with our server displaying professionalism, attentiveness, and a genuine willingness to ensure our dining experience was enjoyable. The highlight of our visit was the beef onion soup, which was a favorite among our family members. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the portion size was generous. It was evident that care had been taken in preparing the soup, and it was one of the standout dishes of the afternoon. However, our overall impression of the food was not as favorable. While it was not necessarily bad, it also did not meet our expectations. There was a lack of consistency in the preparation of the dishes, as some seemed to be merely reheated rather than freshly prepared. This resulted in a loss of freshness and flavor, which was disappointing. The portion sizes at Andera's were commendable, as they were ample enough to satisfy our appetites. However, the quality of the ingredients used in some of the dishes left room for improvement. While the flavors were adequate, there was a noticeable difference in the quality and freshness of certain ingredients. In terms of ambiance, Andera's exuded a warm and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant had a cozy and family-friendly vibe, which added to the overall dining experience. The seating was comfortable, and the staff maintained a clean and organized environment throughout our visit. While Andera's did not fully meet our expectations, it is important to note that our experience may not be representative of every visit to the restaurant. It is possible that our visit coincided with an off day in terms of food preparation. We acknowledge that every establishment can have occasional lapses in consistency. In conclusion, our visit to Andera's Family Restaurant provided a mixed dining experience. While the beef onion soup and the service were highlights, the overall quality and consistency of the food fell short of our expectations. We appreciate the efforts of the staff and the inviting ambiance of the restaurant. It is our hope that Andera's will take our feedback into consideration to enhance the overall dining experience for future patrons."

"EDIT: Changing up my review due to latest visit October 15, 2023. My wife and I ordered a catfish dinner and a chicken dinner from the specials board and while waiting for the soup and salad that comes with the specials, didn't receive said soup and salad. The waitress was seen standing around shoooting the breeze with the cashier and then went back to the kitchen to bring out the entrées. When I stated that we didn't get the soup and salad she said, "I didn't think YOU wanted the specials." The solution to their fail was they would send it home with me. For ruining my wife's birthday dinner out and not making any effort to make it right, I change my review to one star. Great family dinner appreciated most by an older clientele. Prices are much less than a chain restaurant’s prices. Nothing pretentious, just good food."
