Restaurants near Albany

“We’ve driven by Almost There many times. The parking lot is always packed. But to our surprise they had more than ample seating inside and out. We opted for the Thursday special of fish & chips, which was lightly breaded Yankee style haddock. Two fish & chips for $23.99 (regular price $17.99 each) From the time we walked in and had no waiting (at 630pm) to our amazing service. The food was definitely delicious. Yes great seafood in the mountains 😊. Since it is just 40 minutes (pretty much normal timing) to this restaurant we will definitely be back to try out much more of their menu.”

“Pure Magic. visiting from Florida and was dragged into this little gem. decor is very cool. a "Wizard of Oz" theme and cupcakes that would make the wicked witch chuckle in delight... bought 2, then bought two more the next day and had to bring a few home with me... the Turkey Club was MASSIVE... hint for families.. its sharable.”

“We had Cheese Louise cater our wedding, that had a music festival theme, and they knocked it out of the park! The appetizers were incredible, and everyone loved the variety of the grilled cheeses on the menu. The food really tied the theme together!”

“This is our go to ice cream place in the summer ... I usually get Moose tracks.. however I tried the breakfast for dinner .. So good ... my new favorite... their Ice coffee is great also .. my daughters enjoy the maple ice cream as well .. the best place for ice cream if you're in the area.”

“As a celiac of 28 years this place is a dream come true. The owner and her staff are the most lovely people. They always accommodate my needs and never make me feel like a burden. Every single thing I’ve ever eaten or drank here is mind blowing-ly delicious! The biscuit breakfast sandwich is some sort of magical epiphany. You would NEVER know that it’s vegan! I am not vegan, but that biscuit with the vegan eggs and sausage are not just good enough they are top notch culinary excellence. I drive over an hour and a half, one way to get a taste of these culinary delights! Don’t just eat here because you have to, eat here because you should!!”

“Best grilled cheese and tomato soup and the secret sauce to top it off! Highly recommend!!”

“We ordered pistachio ricotta, triple chocolate and raspberry lemon mousse as well as torta del nonna, tiramisu and cannelloni to serve as desserts at my daughters wedding - and they were all absolutely delicious. Everyone commented on how amazing they all were. We were so lucky to find Cafe Italia and Lory - who was amazing to work with and so kind - and what a talented baker!! Would highly recommend for any event!!”

“Amazing place, great donuts, the best anywhere. The staff is so helpful and friendly, they honestly enjoy what they do. You can not go wrong, unless you’re too late, because they sell out quicker than you’d think. Good, quality products will do just that! Good variety as well, BRAVO!!!”

“We had trails end ice cream provide an ice cream truck at our wedding!! We loved it so much and Nancy was awesome! All our guests loved the special touch and Nancy even brought an extra fall pumpkin flavor free of charge. She let the bride and groom go inside the ice cream truck to take pictures! Highly recommend if you are looking for an ice cream truck for your wedding! One of the best parts of the night.”

“You must dine here! In addition to the food being delicious, the staff are so welcoming and friendly. The service my boyfriend I received while dining made us feel right at home despite it being our first time in. This restaurant, and the people who work there are bright lights in this world!”

“Update 9.25.2025. I visited today and am happy that Dave and the crew take comments seriously. I appreciate them listening . I'll be back again. Staff this morning was phenomenal!

UPDATE 9/20/2025 - I agree with another poster that the more you order the more they become aggravated and don't want to be bothered with you. This woman wanted nothing to do with us and wanted us in and out even though we ordered sandwiches, cream cheeses and bagels to go this time. Spent a small fortune. Older woman was unprofessional and rude. We're done.

(Original ) Not sure if we got someone new but she didn't know what she was doing. One complaint would be they put all bagels in one bag so when we got home our cinnamon raisin and sesame bagels smelled and had the taste of the onion ones.”

“Really excellent little bakery serving delicious pastries and breads. We tried the cinnamon roll, blackberry spice scone, granola, and organic sourdough; all were outstanding!”

“😃Great food, I am still thinking about the pasta I had 4 days later!! So good, service was great and very family friendly.”

“Maple iced latte is my favorite, spro beans are great for home espresso machine as well. Love this place”

“This is definitely my favorite Irish restaurant/pub and wish it was closer to me. The decor is pretty cool and unique. My family and I enjoyed dining there. The service and food were fantastic.

I had an Irish coffee with Bailey's and it was so good I had to have another. For my meal, I did the Irish sampler; 3 bowls consisting of Shepard's pie, beef stew, and pot pie. All were amazing but my favorites were the beef stew then the Shepard's pie. Overall, a great spot for some Irish food and can't wait to go back!”

“Underground Bakery & Cafe was a recent find and will be a daily stop while we’re on vacation! The iced coffee is amazing and has coffee iced cubes so it doesn’t get watery. They have homemade pastries and treats, we tried the ring ding and salted caramel cake which were both 10/10. I highly recommend this local gem!”

“ABSOLUTELY THE BEST PLACE in the area to enjoy a beer and pizza! Trivia Night is phenomenal, musical guests are such an added bonus! Large gatherings/events are easy and communication is top notch! You honestly can’t beat Tuckermans for beer, food and ambiance!!”

“If you find yourself in North Conway—whether for the slopes in winter or the trails in summer—do yourself a favor and make Bagels Plus your first stop. The combination of freshly made bagels, inventive menu items like the Boissant, and warm, genuine service elevates it far above your typical breakfast cafe. By the end of your visit, you’ll understand why locals and tourists alike keep coming back day after day. Simply put, Bagels Plus isn’t just a bagel shop—it’s a North Conway institution that consistently delivers on flavor, quality, and friendly hospitality.”

“Best meatball sub I have had in a long time YUM!!”

“Gotta say best place on RT 16!! Awesome food and drinks! Service leaves much to be desired (jk Danielle🤪) they’re the best! Highly recommend!!”

“It was our first time to this restaurant although we frequently come to the area. Our waitress was Addie. She was exceptional, kind, attentive, personable and efficient. Our food was outstanding and we cannot wait to come back next time we are here! Our kids loved how their pictures made the menu covers!!”

“Needed 2 plain chocolate cupcakes. She made them on the spot. Many delicious things available, but my audience wanted plain and simple chocolate and white frosting. (They were devoured, by the way).

Owner is very nice, friendly, and, in my case, accommodating.”

“Beautiful setting. No crowds. Great staff. Great menu and absolutely the best fish sandwich you'll ever have!!!”

“I wasn’t expecting much from an Asian restaurant located in an outlet mall, but this one definitely surpassed my expectations. The satay bowl and Khao Soi were great and hit all the right spots. I would say one of the best Asian food I’ve tried in the New England area!”

“The service and food were both top notch! The open face wagyu was absolutely delicious! We had two little ones with us and very accommodating staff. The food was ready quickly and served piping hot. Absolutely one of our favorite go to places now.”

“Great staff, Great Food, Great View”

“Went with a large group, some of our friends had subs which looked amazing. My wife and I split a pizza which was the best we’ve had. Prices were reasonable and the staff were all fantastic. 5/5 stars.”
