Dive Dining with MAXsouth

As you walk into Andy's BBQ, a WWII era block-shaped building, you'll meet a full bar with good beers on tap and a décor that is basically a shrine to Joe Montana. All this would normally give them a four star rating. Unfortunately the place is a little too well lit and a little too clean for our liking - we are divers after all, aren't we? - almost placing Andy's into the "Too Nice to be a Dive" category. A South Bay tradition since 1965 and well worth the trip. Call Blair Cambra at 408-473-2205 to reserve. Andy's BBQ is at 700 East Campbell Avenue, Campbell, 408-378-2838.
