50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Albany

“I placed my Drive-Thru order on the mobile app before a chore run, well ahead of time, as I have done for years, at 6:21pm. I pulled up around 7:01pm and was handed my order immediately. A little confused, I shrugged it off though soon realized my food was cold and soggy.

I noticed on the bag that it was ready for pickup at 6:27pm, well before I was there. Upon returning to inquire, I was told that you cannot specify a time for Drive-Thru, and had to argue/insist that it's Taco Bell policy to not start making the order until the name is given at the Drive-Thru.

I had checked the website before leaving, so it felt extremely disrespectful to be argued with around the matter because they didn't want to admit the mistake. They finally gave in and remade my order as they should. I understand trying to get ahead of orders, but you shouldn't break policy to do so or this kind of thing can happen.

The situation was appropriately remediated and I feel bad if I stressed anyone out (thus the 4-star), thank you.“

“Sooooooooooooooooooo delicious“

“Family-run hidden gem for lunch among all the low quality and corporate options in this area. I was craving good meat and veg and Boochmania delivered. Perfectly al dente veggies with simple, tender meat. I modified the quinoa bowl which they were very nice about, and really enjoyed the blend of counter service (order everything at the register) and restaurant feel to the cozy seating. This is going to be my new go-to place every time I’m in the area for work“

“I just came to this restaurant for lunch and everything was amazing! The food was so delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. What made the experience even better was the customer service. As soon as I walked in, they welcomed me so warmly and made me feel comfortable right away. They were very kind and kept asking if I needed anything, saying they were there to help. It’s rare to find both great food and such excellent hospitality together. Highly recommend this place, and I will definitely come back again!“

“Town Fare is excellent. Just ate here at their last Sunday brunch which happens monthly. It was buffet style. Chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits were superlative. The location in the Oakland Museum is super stylish and classic. This restaurant needs to be supported.“

“If you’re anywhere near Richmond and haven’t stopped by Phila Burger yet, you're missing out on great food. I've tried most of the times in the menu, and I've never walked away disappointed. The food tastes amazing and hits every single time. Fresh, flavorful, and everything you want from a burger.

What really makes this place special is Sam. He’s the kind of person who remembers your face and name, your usual order, and makes you feel like more than just a customer. Honestly, at this point, I’m convinced he should just run for mayor of Richmond.

It's safe to say that many people in the Rich know about Phila Burger for good reason. But if you’re coming from outside of Richmond, do yourself a favor and give this place (and the city) a chance. If there’s one meal that’ll win you over, it’s right here.

Richmond, this is something to be proud of.“

“A good local spot that offers plenty of options and variety of food. The staff is incredibly friendly and the amount of food you get with your order is a lot. Would recommend going there and would also go back if we’re in the area again.“

“This place has absolutely amazing burgers! I come all the way out here from SF every once in awhile just to get some! I haven’t really tried much else on the menu but my friend got the wings and really enjoyed those as well, I did get to try the steak fries which I would definitely say to avoid they are pretty soggy and the cheese sauce isn’t very good, but I’ll continue coming back here and recommending it because it’s hard to find an actually good burger around here! Plus it’s a great area to go with friends cause there is tons of food options and also bars to hangout at! Just be ready cause it can get pretty busy over here on the weekends!“

“Amazing service and a small, clean atmosphere. The restaurant seats 18 people max, with one table seating 6, 2 tables sitting 4, and 4 single spots to sit facing the window. The patty was slightly disappointing on the “Cheezburger”, but the fries made up for it. Would definitely go again!“

“I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve been here numerous times and it never occurred to me to leave a review. My team and I will visit Angie and her crew whenever we have a break in the morning. I have NOT had a bad experience here… EVER! Always welcomed with a smile. Food is fast, hot and delicious!!
Thank you so much for being in our town !!“

“Definitely San Francisco Bay areas. Best burgers, amazing fish and chips very favorable, savory kebabs and great tasting Gyros.“

“The food, drinks, staff and atmosphere was excellent. This is my nephews favorite spot. Thanks Kelly for our family outing today.“

“I ordered a cheeseburger, fries, and a cold drink. The burger was served hot and fresh with a perfectly toasted bun and a juicy, flavorful patty. The fresh vegetables, melted cheese, and delicious house sauce blended together perfectly, creating a rich and satisfying flavor in every bite. The fries were crispy, golden, and seasoned just right, making them an ideal side to the meal.

The service was fast and efficient, and my order arrived quickly without sacrificing quality. The restaurant was spotless, well-maintained, and provided a comfortable dining environment. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were fair considering the quality of the food and service.“

“I got the BIG G and this is hands down the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. Super fresh and hot too! Usally when I travel I hit up different spots to try out as many different resturaunts as i can, But this spot was soo good I had to come back again. 11/10 would recomend!“

“i love in and out very much cuz of the food and the prices are very good and also they have items that are not on the menu and its always busy and i dont see them going out of buiness any time soon but if this had upgrade the store so more people can sit down that would be good and also the staff are very nice and they always get everything rite and the food is better then most fast food places so im coming here every time“

“Dude. It's In-n-Out. What more can I say? Just Do It!“

“The best Vietnamese food in the Bay Area! Prices are excellent. Get the Number 5 to sample everything. I would come here at least one a week if I lived nearby! Order to go if you don’t want to sit in the tiny 10-person space. The food is worth it!“

“I’ve been ordering the vermicelli bowls, banh mis, spring rolls, and pho regularly at this spot now for almost a year, and they have never missed. The ingredients are always so fresh and portions are super generous, this is genuinely the best Vietnamese restaurant I’ve ever been to, and I appreciate how much care is put into making the food and even the packaging to ensure for the best eating experience!“

“Good selection with a lot of options and they don't disappoint. It was my son's 1st time and he loved it‼️“

“Decent food good price. Friendly.“

“It’s usually hard to find a place that has ice cream for the kids, boba for me, and blended ice coffee for the husband. This place has all and more! Prices are great. The large honeydew boba was only 5.25 + .60 for boba and tastes like the Melona honeydew ice pop.“

“I tried the wraps from a work event and realized I needed to stop in and check it out.

I love the atmosphere, the individuals inside are kind and knowledgeable, great recommendations from them all.

I will be back to enjoy the view as well, please tip the staff!“

“We always get takeout from here and everything I've tried is delicious and satisfying. I most recently tried the steak and mushroom burrito! I was thinking about it for days afterward! The flavors were amazing. And the employees are personable and kind which makes it a top notch experience. Great job Red Onion Pinole!“

“The staff were extremely friendly. I ordered tteokbokki and a corn dog with potatoes and topped with lots of cheese. The tteokbokki and filling but I had to try their corn dog! The corn dog was crispy outside and very moist inside. I would definitely go there again. Next time I will try other corn dog flavors.“

“Great little spot with a nice interior, and space to eat there if you'd like. Staff is also super nice. Their tofu banh mi is great, and the portion sizes are plentiful -- I'm definitely full here, which often isn't the case at other banh mi places“

“The food and staff was excellent and the portions were large. Would recommend to anyone in the area. Just maybe mark a few parking spaces with their name.“

“Very good food and drinks 🥤“

“Great food and good costumer service“

“I've been coming here for over 30 years! Love their baby burritos and the best hot sauce ever!“

“Heathly food. The Shawarma wrap it's my favorite. I love it!!!“

“Every Table meal subscription is amazing. Delicious, healthy foods at a very fair price. 5 dinners only $38. The best part is my area has brick and mortar stores where I just walk in and buy my meal prep for the week...Meals cooked in a local kitchen by real chefs with local fresh ingredients. I'm busy all the time and although I love cooking it's hard to cook for just one person. The majority of meals are 600 calories or less. An easy way for me to stay in my calorie deficit. I just had the chicken schwarma bowl and it was soooo good. Tasted just like a home cooked meal. Highly recommend“

“This is one of the few Subway restaurants that follows strict sanitary guidelines. The place is always clean and inviting. The best part is they don't skimp on toppings and follow the company's guidelines for a great sandwich. You can feel the vibe that they care about customer service and will go out of their way to make it right. They have a clean restroom available on request for customers only. The restaurant decor is current and appealing. The place always has aroma of fresh baked bread so you can be assured a great sandwich with fresh ingredients“

“muy limpio muy buen sabor y la atención exelente definitivamente recomendado.“

“This is a great place to pick up a delicious burger and help support a small, family-owned business. The ingredients are always fresh, and the super-friendly husband and wife make you feel welcomed! Make sure to try the complimentary pickled cucumbers!“

“Note of appreciation to say that Hi-Way is the only burger place I've tried that not only offers a Beyond burger, but also clearly puts as much care into the veggie burger as the meat burger. Just as they seem to do with the meat patties (my partner enjoyed the cheeseburger), they smashed the patty so it was thin, crispy, juicy, and delicious, sesame bun was amazing, and all of the toppings were fresh and generously portioned (added fresh peppers, pickles, and onion were awesome with it). Loved their onion rings especially as well and staff were incredibly warm and friendly; great vibes.“

“First time having caspers since I was a kid. I live in Texas now but came to Cali to visit family. I ordered the chilli cheese dog but instead of tomatoes I added jalapenos. It was so wonderful!! This business has been around for years as I am now 31. Very much a staple in the Oakland Bay area community. If your ever flying into oak airport stop by this local historical spot for an amazing hot dog“

“Excellent food , as good as any Hawaiian BBQ“

“I visited today and when I tell you the fish was sooo sooo good I’m very upset with myself for not finding this place sooner and the young lady who took my order was very sweet I will definitely be back to support this establishment.“

“Steve went out of his way to answer a question concerning the food selection choices.

Internet google search showed this SF location maybe close because of the Memorial Day Holiday, but took a chance to walk down from Chinatown and was pleasantly surprised.

Bought meals for the day for myself and sister.

Thanks SF, Kearney St - Onigilly“

“This is My Daughter’s Favorite Restaurant.. We Go There Often. The Service is Quick and The Staff Is Friendly..“

“Love the chocolate flan, I get it every time I am here“

“I had the Chicken Mix Bowl with the smokey chipotle sauce and it was AMAZING. I am allergic to dairy, gluten, and soy so being able to not worry about that with my meal was so nice. I also have ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) and have a really hard with certain textures, usually chicken is really hard for me to eat but I had no issues with this chicken!! The texture was consistent all the way through, pulled apart really easily, and was just overall amazing. The portions are really good and the food is very flavorful. I'm really happy with my meal. Thank you guys for the amazing food. I highly recommend this place!!“

“I absolutely love this place! I had the best fish sandwich I've had in a long time. I was just driving by when I noticed this restaurant, so I decided to stop and order their fish sandwich with a meal. They give you a bag full of fries, and everything was delicious. The sandwich was great, the fish was tasty, and the sauce was perfect—no complaints whatsoever.

I'm planning to go back very soon to try everything on the menu. I still need to sample their milkshakes and ice cream, but I didn't have a chance on this visit. Overall, the food I had was stunning. The fries were fresh, hot, and crispy, and I really appreciate how generous they are with the portion. I can't wait to go back!“

“It was late night order and I’ve never had a burger dog before but wanted to try since frisco fried out them on the scene back in the day. Ordered my door dash and couldn’t wait. As soon as they arrive I could smell the goodness so I take my pics and dive in.Burger Dog: Hefty on the meat, felt like it was more beef than an actual burger and I wanna say easier to eat. Only change I would add bacon and that’s my bad. Very good burger dog!Bacon Hot Dog: Butterflied Beef Dog with crispy bacon! Another hit.Very simple menu options but they hit it out the park. Would definitely double back to this spot to try them fresh.

Parking: It’s on 20th street so not impossible but keep your eyes open spots get taken fast

Kid-friendliness: Burgers, Hot Dogs, Fries I think so….

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s in San Francisco it has to be accessible“

“when I'm not in the mood to cook the first thing I think about is going to them.“

“6th St between Market and Mission used to be the heart of San Francisco. Until the new jewish mayor Lurie stabbed it. We used to go out there, eat at Halal Burgers and then spend the night out. Without all the police state ruckus that is going on now end of Jan 26. But despite all the efforts of that obscene filth now sullying city hall, we still go out. And we still stop at Halal Burgers even though the scene has moved on. The food is excellent at prices that are very affordable. A chicken leg quarter, a potato salad and a drink is less than $10.
That said, they downsized the number of tables to sit at. That needs to be changed back.“

“Four stars because they clucked up one of the things we ordered. The Cali Cluckwich came with no tempeh bacon or avocado added on, and we didn't have time to get it fixed because we were crunched for time on a work lunch break. Without the cali ingredients added, it was a plain old classic cluckwich. Other than that, taste-wise the food was good. Also, I've always loved the customer service at the San Francisco location, the employees are always so happy and friendly. Hunny Hickory TenderClucks were delicious. I chose all fries, no slaw, and it might have been the largest side of fries I've ever got at a restaurant. Updated from previous review on 2023-08-07“

“I love this place. This particular location the food is always fresh and always made correctly. Today I tried ordering through the app and it kept giving me an error message so I decided to use my QR code inside because I was using my points for a free small frosty. Something was wrong with the system and they were not able to scan my QR code, which also explains error message. Fortunately Raquel said she would honor the coupon and give me the frosty. I was so very grateful and the exact right thing for her to do in the situation. Thank You Raquel for making my experience so pleasant!! Wendy's for the WIN for hiring good people, honoring their coupons and delivering a great meal/ experience!! Thank you Wendy's on International in Oakland!!“

“Really enjoyed Bongo Burger! The Persian burger was delicious—great flavor and cooked really well. The fries were crispy and tasty, and the kabob wraps were also really good. Solid spot if you’re craving burgers or Persian-style comfort food. Will definitely be back!“
