21 Best American 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.“

“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!“

“Recently stopped in for lunch. Beers were cold and food was excellent. Would highly recommend!“

“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 server. Forgot his name. But real nice guy. Big dude. Food was great. Bill was reasonable. Kids and wife were happy therefore I was happy.“

“Got a flight of mead, it was all great. Also got a burger (forget the name) but it had peanut butter. Staff was friendly“

“Our snowmobiling tour guide, Tyler, from Northern Extremes, recommended your place. I must say your food quality is outstanding! I dine out regularly at award wining restaurants in the Mystic, CT area, and they got nothin on you! Service from Luke was perfect. Drinks were incredible. Duck and scallop appetizer, Gnocchi and Ribeye were all off the charts delicious! Dressing on the steak side salad was a game changer and I image it's made in house. 10 out of 10. Seriously!! Worthy of a 4 hour drive!“

“We happened to come to Barley & Salt twice and both times we were so impressed with the host, Jessica and how friendly and accommodating she was. It was a great experience start to finish. Thanks!“

“The Black Cap Grille was a perfect stop,
Onto the bar stools, we did drop.

She enjoyed a drink called the Blue Bird,
With her, top shelf is absolutely preferred.

For me, the blood orange Cosmo did the trick,
The drinks were amazing for me and my sidekick.

She built her own burger, and she likes them plain,
No veggies for her - she always abstains.

I tried the trusty 2369,
I added red peppers to make it mine.

And so from this happy hour, we adjourn,
We'll absolutely stop by to return.“

“Just stopped in on a whim and ordered roast beef sandwiches. The beef was extremely tender. Some have complained that the beef was not flavorful. Without all the added salt, the beef taste came through loud and clear. My husband and I don’t need all the extra salt so it was definitely to our liking. Great friendly staff as well!“

“This restaurant was just average for me in terms of food, but to be fair, when you're traveling in the mountains to enjoy the scenery, finding a spot like this is already a plus.
The food itself was okay—nothing particularly memorable. The fries seemed a bit old and hard, and the beef balls were on the dry side. However, the setting really makes up for it. The view from the restaurant is beautiful, and the atmosphere is lively, especially with the live music playing across the way. It’s clearly a popular spot, as it was quite crowded when we visited.
Overall, while the food may not have stood out, the location and ambiance made it a decent stop during our trip.“

“First time visiting Delaney's. The waitress (and all the staff) excelled. Service was immediate. Drinks were creative, large, and tasty. Tried a NH Sushi appetizer that was probably the best we ever had. It was quick fried to give a delicate crunchy coating and we would drive back for that alone. Requested a side salad and the vegetables were like they came out of the back garden. Ordered the rib and beef tip combo which was just cooked to perfection and so full of flavor. Had to try the dessert and shared a mud pie. It was HUGE and beyond delicious. One of our best dining out experiences in years.“

“We stopped in Big Dave’s to get breakfast sandwiches for the road and we’re glad we did. The bagels are fresh and warm. The service was friendly. We got a half dozen bagels and 3 bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches to go. There were lots of pastries that look delicious but we didn’t get any this time. We’ll be back again!“

“I had the steak tips.. and they, were delicious❤️“

“We enjoyed a really delicious meal and drinks here. It is a very nice place. The charcuterie board was probably designed for a table of four to share because it had quite a few options and plenty of each but it was totally worth it. I had a special and the meat was so tender it came apart with just a fork. The food is definitely worth the price.“

“First time trying 110 Grill and I have to say what an amazing experience! They were really busy and we watched the manager Steve jump in on the line and help out! It was so fun watching the cooking action! It was like you are right there on a food network show! Kudos to him for jumping in and working with his team instead of just barking orders! Our server was Preston and he was so nice and very easy on the eyes! He helped me pick my meal because I couldn’t decide and he was spot on! He made our drinks table side which was a treat cuz come on what could be better then a hot guy shaking your martini!!! I will definitely be coming back here when we visit again!! Highly highly recommend!!“
