Restaurants in Albany

“I recently visited with my brother and ordered a chopped cheese, and I have to say, the experience was fantastic! The staff (Sal) showed so much hospitality and made me feel welcomed. As for the food—absolutely A1! The chopped cheese was perfectly seasoned and fresh, and every bite was delicious. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great food and excellent service.”

“My husband is a breakfast connoisseur and said this is the best breakfast he has had ANYWHERE! The Rocky Mountain Benedict’s was delicious and the Cherry Amaretto pancakes were to die for!! The home is gorgeous and SAM was the best server, hostess all around amazing l person ever! This is a must go and eat when in Albany! 5+++++ stars!”

“Thanks for the pickle pizza!! You made this pregnant lady very happy 🥰🥒🍕”

“Such good fries- such great service- a gem in downtown”

“I now live in Texas , but every trip to Albany includes a trip to Miranda’s deli. The food is off the charts. The smoking hot chick who makes the sandwiches and the special-needs guy who runs the register are both Fantastic. There aren’t enough stars to rate this place.”

“Coccadotts did such a wonderful job on my son’s first birthday cake. Very professional, fast confirmation with detailed communication, and easy pickup. The cake was delicious, too!”

“Incredible dinner. Marina was our server and was an absolute gem! She always kept our drinks full and made sure that we were smiling after each time she stopped by.”

“All of the food here is amazing! Wonderful family and wonderful food!”

“Best hidden treasure in the Captial region. The food was so good. Worth the small time to wait. It's hidden in an office building. It's middle eastern food. I had a beef Ruben and my wife a Gyro. Even the fries were fabulous.”

“I didn’t go in person yet so I cannot comment on the service or atmosphere but I just ordered from here for the first time and I must say it surely exceeded my expectations! I knew it would be good but didn’t expect it to be this good. The tenders are huge but also well flavored and cooked, the Dave’s sauce compliments in sooo well and the fries are curly fries and fried to perfection. I enjoy ever bit and corner of my plate, I wasn’t disappointed once. I had the lite mild and it was exactly that, a little spice with the perfect balance of classic and crunchy!!! I will be coming back, this is my new fav spot for sure but I gotta go in person this time to see if the service is as good as the food! Dave’s hot chicken is a 10/10. MONEY WELL SPENT!!!”

“Great service and prices. love the lunch buffet!”

“I cannot believe this is my first time trying their cuisine! SO good and authentic. I need to have all the things! very flavorful, great portion sizing. 5☆! Banana sticky rice, coconut pudding, mango sticky rice, papaya salad, pad thai, thai iced tea, peanut lovers dish! All amazingly good! Delivery is worth it! Thank you♡”

“We had a GREAT experience. We did the 17-courses, which I highly recommend. Head Chef Chakma is very skilled, and everything he gave us was delicious.

Most notably, he took my dietary restrictions very seriously. When I told him I had celiac disease and couldn't eat gluten, he carefully prepared my portions separately from the rest. He changed his gloves each time and made thoughtful substitutions to keep my meal safe.

We'll be back!”

“This is a MUST every time we travel down from Maine to visit friends. Amazing food, creative wine selection, and the BEST service. We are customers for life ❤️thank you Athos! Ali, (aka Bob Ross), keep on keeping on!”

“Terrific food, great service!”

“Absolutely delicious. I've only had boba once before (at a different location) and it was so...bland? I didn't like it. I tried this place out on a whim with my friends and I was shocked! It knocked it out of the park in regards to taste. I got a milk tea with boba but it was so delicious that I'm still thinking about it! If you want boba go here. If you're nearby, get boba! I cannot hype this place up enough”

“Absolutely wonderful experience! I took 12 employees out to celebrate the holiday season and see a show in Albany. From the time we called for a reservation, right through dinner, the entire staff, and especially our server Casey were so welcoming and accommodating. The drinks, food, and service were all superb! Casey made us feel like we were the only thing that mattered in the restaurant, while the kitchen and bar handled some special requests with ease! In a world where the meaning of hospitality seems to have been forgotten by so many, this restaurant still knows what it means, and executes flawlessly. I highly recommend, and will definitely be back when in the Albany area. (I may even have to make a special trip back just for this restaurant!)”

“Oh my goodness!!! I had the BEST Mexican pizza Friday night. The barbacoa was so tender and all the other ingredients were as fresh as if they had just come off the plant. I’m already planning to go back soon to have it again. Would recommend this place 100%!!!”

“Fun night out….great staff and cool place with a good amount of different activities.”

“The best cocktails in Albany! (Get the Capital City Renewal!) I had the best birthday dinner there tonight. Thanks to the team for making it special. The appetizers were incredible!”

“We absolutely LOVE booking Nine Pin for our Lifestyle Program of events for our residents here at Adams Station. Nine Pin's booking process is effortless and timely. Jessica is an absolute joy to work with, in addition to every staff member she has sent us. Our residents love when Nine Pin comes to events, whether it's to set up a bar and serve their delicious drinks, or for the tasting events that let them learn the history and science behind the brand. Thanks for always elevating our events, can't wait to have you back soon!🍻”

“Best coffee in Albany, flavor and comfort guaranteed!”

“The restaurant offers a relaxing and upscale vibe. The food was fantastic. We started with the prosciutto and mozzarella, this seemingly simple meal was so flavorful I nearly ordered a second one. The chicken parm was arguably the best in the area. Finished it off with the tiramisu, can’t go wrong with that. Would recommend to anyone that wants an Italian meal that is a step above the rest”

“Ordered delivery, the sweet and sour chicken they make is the kind I grew up on! I've been craving it for months and couldn't find a proper spot, anywhere until Taiwan Noodle. I've also tried and loved their pork chops with lemongrass! Delivery is always more expensive though. Food is delicious!”

“We stumbled on the place by chance and were not disappointed. The bartender, Jill was very friendly. Our meals were full of flavor. My husband got the chicken parm and I the barramundi. Finished by a tiramisu martini with a side of tiramisu. Sooooo good. We will definitely go back! Oh! The fresh bread and olive oil topped with tapenade was delish as well!”

“Instead of recommending the restaurant or not I wish I could rate it with stars. I would give a 3.75 the food was the good. The service was good. The atmosphere was good. Nothing was stand out amazing. For the price I would think the entrees would come with a salad or bread for the table but they do not. Drinks of course were expensive as anywhere but I got the smallest pour of wine I’ve probably ever received. We went for a special occasion and I wish we would have went somewhere else. Maybe I’ll try again with friends again for lunch and hope for a better experience.”

“I definitely don't eat enough nutritious foods. I always wait too long and just grab whatever is easiest and quick. As I have aged I have become anemic. Being anemic can lead to depression and already living in a state that is cold and dark a majority of the year, depression can come on quick and be very difficult to deal with. The iron patches have helped immensely with how I feel, not being tired and lethargic all the time and have most definitely helped curb the possibility of becoming depressed. I highly recommend PatchAid, the prices are impressive for what you are getting, they are transparent with what you get and what can be expected, the patches stick really well and as someone who has sensitive skin, they do not irritate my skin at all. I am currently getting ready to put in an order for the kids multivitamin pack for my daughter for the daily multi-patch and sleep aid, I'm excited to see how they do for her with school coming up and how difficult it can be to get her to sleep.”

“Went to this location and had one of the if not the best experiences i’ve ever had . had the pleasure of meeting rodrick morris and he truly made my night best experience in my life ths man deserves a raise”

“Good dessert the place is very nice and clean, Daisies treat her customers with love, I recommended to everyone..”

“I have known about the Ragonese Imports since I was a child. The Ragonese Imports have great food because I can smell the foods while I'm waiting for the bus. I promised myself that I will return when I have the money. Forgive me for not returning sooner.”

“Amazing food and atmosphere! Definitely one of my new favorite places!”

“Delicious. Must go. Get that mantu!”

“Probably the best chicken over rice I’ve had... I’m even putting this above halal guys in NYC. Not to mention great customer service, was given fried chicken while waiting for our food to come out 🙌🏻 seriously delicious. Great food and people! Will be coming back.”

“first time here and I got to say the food. waitresses were amazing. I've never tasted such delicious food like this. Definitely coming back. I rate this place 100%”

“its triple so nice！”

“Grappa 72 has always been my favorite. ❤️here’s why. I hadn’t been in awhile- used to go frequently, so I grabbed a to-go order of their excellent fettuccini bolognese and some bruschetta to take home after a very long drive- ❤️❤️❤️and had a glass of wine at their friendly and comfortable bar while I waited. It’s 100 degrees outside- so I wasn’t dressed (shorts and an ocean city tee lol) but it was early.. so I popped in to wait for my order. From reception to bar to the chef popping out with my order- to the other lovely guests who were popping in as well and enjoying banter and kind conversation.. the bartender primo making everyone happy- I can’t tell you how much that atmosphere warms my soul. Good people, great food, no pretensions, phenomenal service.. and I can attest from so many previous visits- a warm and inviting dining room where when they have music you never want to leave. Soooo well done from every aspect. Thanks Grappa!!! I’ll be back soon, I’ve missed you while I’ve been away! Did I mention the bolognese? It’s better than my own- and that’s saying a lot! 😉Sincerely, Mary”

“Cheesecake is delicious. Love the peach cobbler. Double Dutch chocolate is well worth the calories. Part of the fun is waiting in line and listening to everyone order. Nice people.”

“Great food and service plus very friendly people there!”

“Office too cold in the summer? No problem, Kuma’s delicious soup will warm you right up! The Tonkotsu is amazing, the Tori is really good especially if you are new. This place is a gem!”

“Absolutely delicious!! The best authentic Jamaican food around! Super sweet ladies and amazing food!”

“Great sandwiches and coffee. Tradisional Vietnamese. The bread and everything in the sandwich was as exspected. The coffee was so good. Ivwish i could get this coffee every morning. Happy New Year!”

“Amazing place and they have lots of vegan options- go!”

“Looking for a spot to get a quick lunch. My son suggested this place. Food was great, service was quick, friendly staff and very reasonable. Definitely looking forward to a return visit!”

“Excellent buttermilk fried chicken sandwich and friendly and attentive staff!!”

“Pollo alla Rusa, perfection, bread and butter, perfection, vegetables, perfection, portion sizes ample. BYOB Chef seasoned my meal expertly! Atmosphere could use a bit of upgrading. Best real Italian meal I have had in Florida.”

“Amazing food, awesome customer service, and affordable prices.”

“Our firm enjoys gathering at Suga Foot's Soul Kitchen for team lunches. Great food, a relaxed atmosphere, and top-notch service keep us coming back.”

“Been going there for years. The food is excellent, competitively priced, and outstanding service whether in the bar, the restaurant, or for takeout. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a place to try. If you do, you will return.”

“4.5 stars. This is the NY style pizza i was looking for. I can’t say that I have a favorite place since not every place serves the exact same pizza the same way every time. I could probably go back on another day and not have the same quality. But for right now in the Albany area this is in my top three. The evening I went to get a study break and grab some slices of pizza while reading reminded me of my time in Brooklyn when I could get out of work, walk up the street to the takeout window and get a couple slices with garlic knots and finish them by the time I got to the grocery store. This was the flavor, this was the taste. A half a star removed since I wish the back crust, the part you hold, had just a little bit more flavor.”

“The best pizza I've ever had! (I'm old and have had pizza from MANY different places) I've enjoyed everything I've ordered, which has been most of the menu. They care :) The downside is that I'm within walking distance from them LOL!”

“Picked up some Boozy Moo ice cream at the Schenectady Farmers Market. I got the Kentucky Butter Pecan and the Whiskey Netflix and Chill. The Kentucky Butter Pecan is awesome!! It is the perfect blend of liquor and butter pecan ice cream. The Whiskey, Netflix and Chill?? Oh my gosh!! One can DEFINITELY taste the whiskey!! Both are delicious!! Will definitely be trying more flavors and going to the location in Albany.”

“I have been coming here randomly for the last few years and have never been treated less than family. I eat and drink all over ny and cannot express how good the vibe is. plus the food is amazing. hands down one of the best burgers/ wings in Albany.”

“This place is amazing. I didn't know what to expect going in to the all you can eat restaurant. I was happily surprised that it's not buffet style. Servers and bussers. The restaurant is nicely styled and comfortable. The greeters and wait staff couldn't have been kinder or more professional. $28.99 is worth every penny just for that. The longest we had to wait between orders was no more than 5 minutes. The food was fresh, perfectly presented and absolutely delicious! I really can't find the superlatives to describe it. Everything combined made this experience one of the best outings I've ever had. I HIGHLY recommend this place.”

“Came here on Schenectady county summer block party. Amazing food, and service!!! I so recommend. Always the food places that are hidden are the best ❤️”

“Food is simple but fresh and well prepared. We had Bolani which is like a thin crisp Samosa, falafel wrap and chicken over rice. Food came quickly, service was great and ingredients were very fresh. Homemade white sauce was excellent. Will definitely go back if we are in the area again”

“The space is cute, and they did a great job decorating it. The floor tiles and lights are perfect for the small space. There’s a creative and interesting list of specialty cocktails and the beef short ribs are completely amazing.”

“The atmosphere in Ralph’s Tavern is so welcoming. Tom makes you feel so special when you walk in. He remembered us from last year. The food was great and so was the service. You will not regret coming here!!!”

“The menu is definitely creative, flavorful and I've had every item off the menu. Been going here for 8-9yrs. Just tried their lunch buffet which is also fantastic deal with many options. highly recommended”

“I had an amazing experience with Elaine!!! The cake came out beautiful, I will be back, she went above and beyond! I had a tres leches cake!”

“My Husband & I had the perfect night at this location! Our waiter was Leon he was amazing, we loved his personality and the way he talked to us! You never see many waiters like that anymore nowadays! If this resturant could be in my day to day budget id go every week! This place is a must go!!

Parking: We loved how this location had a lot of parking space!”

“Perfect for business meals and client meetings. This upscale steakhouse offers exceptional service and masterfully prepared steaks in a sophisticated atmosphere.”

“An ideal setting for client dinners. Refined atmosphere, exceptional cuisine, and attentive service.”

“Local and welcoming. What more could we ask for?”

“Best pork dumplings (and dumpling sauce) ever. The vegetable dumplings are also very flavorful. The ramen is solid too. Highly recommend the peach jasmine iced tea. It’s an explosion of peach flavor with actual peaches in it and it’s sooooo good.”

“My first experience with Nepalese cuisine. I ordered three styles of momo, which is a type of stuffed pasta dumpling. More similar to a semolina dough,, not thick and glutinous like rice dough. Clearly hand made with care. Jhol Momo is steamed dumplings served in soup. Nothing was too extreme in the soup, it was balanced and savory. Kothey Momo is like a pot sticker,, fried on one side and steamed. I got paneer cheese stuffing. It didn't have lots of cheese, but rather savory vegetables to round out the filling. It's served with chutney, a traditional sauce. I really enjoyed this even though I was expecting more cheese. The C (Chili) Momo is bathed in a spicy and slightly sweet red pepper sauce. It has bits of onion and pepper and shaved scallion. I got chicken stuffed. If you like General Tso's you'll like this, if you like Chicken Cacciatore you'll like this. It left my lips feeling pleasantly warm after eating. I'm curious to know what kind of chili pepper they use. Medium heat level, don't fear it. The owner was very nice and answered my questions, and language was not a barrier. The interior is bright and clean with several tables. The exterior is fresh and new. It IS at a very busy intersection of Albany, which is why I went between lunch and dinner hours. Be aware that if you're driving finding parking nearby could be tricky, but also be mindful of holding up traffic as you search for a spot. If necessary, drive around the block and regroup. The food is worth any extra work you have to put into getting it. I felt safe in the neighborhood, but be aware of your surroundings, it's a busy area with several main roads coming together at that location. Perfect if you come by bus! I'll be going back to try beef and mushroom momo next time, and Mango Lassi to drink. 24 pieces of momo for $36 not bad. If you want a sampler order the Combo Set, hidden at the bottom of the menu. This place is going to be very popular very soon!”

“Genuinely great, good homemade tortillas with fresh food and some out of this world sauce. Great customer service as well, very friendly and helpful”

“Juices Forever was my 1st stop after getting off the plane from the West Coast. I was not disappointed. The food was great!! The customer service was pleasant, and on point. Love the atmosphere. This one stop shop has delicious tasting foods, and things that are good for your body.”

“We tried Mimi’s for the first time after seeing posts on Facebook. Food was great, service was super friendly, and we will definitely be back!”

“Super cute place. Oreo bubble tea is the best! 🧋”

“Oct 2024: Ordered via UberEats. We were so tired after driving from Vermont at midnight, wanted to have something hot, tasty in the nighttime. This place served us Falafel and Rice (all vegetarian) so tasty with sauces (I guess tamarind and hari chutney)

Vegetarian options: Falafel over rice”

“Italian deli. Soups delicious, wide variety of sandwich options, and excellent service. No eating, take out only. One of best and longstanding delis in Albany area.”

“This is by far my favorite coffee shop in Telkwa and Smithers. I probably spend far too much money then I should here, but I absolutely love it. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere is great, and don't even get me started on the coffee and the food. I don't know if I've had anything that I didn't like from here. I've tried pretty much everything from the pies, meat pies, the freshly made sourdough bread that is just delicious, and the burgers on Fridays. You also have things like the cookies, the brownies and so much more. On top of all of that there's even a lot that I have yet to try, the ice cream being one of them. She even went on vacation for a couple of weeks and that was probably the longest couple of weeks without a good coffee. Oh yeah and I almost forgot, the breakfast wraps are absolutely delicious. You got to try them. Try anything try everything try it all, I'm sure you'll love it.”

“Food was absolutely AMAZING. Got the chicken tacos, beef steak empanada, and they gave me a tres leches on the house (def add the strawberry). Super friendly staff and the prices are more than fair”

“We hosted our wedding at Albany Distilling and I can not speak highly enough of our experience. Natalie was amazing to work with and the staff were wonderful day of. All of our guests could not stop talking about the drinks, staff, and atmosphere. I would highly recommend for any event!”

“My teenager has summer crew practice across the way from Eggy’s at the boathouse. When I pick her up from the river we stop and enjoy a delicious egg sandwich at Eggy’s. My teenagers are so excited when I pull into the lot every summer. Thank you for being fun.”

“Delicious!!! Definitely returning! Well done!”

“Fast and friendly service! My toddler and I loved the food. And we enjoyed the retro diner vibes and chatting with employees who made us feel welcome!”

“Always a wonderful dining experience!! Brenda and staff always give us great service!! The dining room is clean and the food is great!! They have the finest salad bar of any Pizza Hut. It is a wonderful family atm”

“The service is always good at this location. I think the coffee drinks are great, but the teas are even better. America really does run on Dunkin!”

“My first time here, l ordered a White Broccoli and a Bella Philly Steak slice. All l can say is they were delicious and I will most definitely be back. Thank you.”

“Been going there for years. The food is excellent, competitively priced, and outstanding service whether in the bar, the restaurant, or for takeout. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a place to try. If you do, you will return.”

“A modest little Vietnamese restaurant with an extensive menu and very tasty offerings, Pho Yum is tucked into the corner of an anonymous strip mall on a busy 4 lanes highway. The automated tablet based menu, plastic utensils and paper table ware may be off-putting, but the charming help, the rich Pho soups and interesting selection of spring, summer and autumn rolls are definitely worth the visit.”

“Out of town working, read the reviews, previous review guy walks out because Fox News was on. I was all in. I wish there was more of him around. makes my visit that much more enjoyable . if you are looking for food this is the wrong place. If you’re looking to drink and hang out and have a good time, this is it. Darts pool, Jamison and Guinness and other beers but no Bud Light. Locals are extremely friendly ,met several new friends on the first visit”

“I now live in Texas , but every trip to Albany includes a trip to Miranda’s deli. The food is off the charts. The smoking hot chick who makes the sandwiches and the special-needs guy who runs the register are both Fantastic. There aren’t enough stars to rate this place.”

“I have been taking different kinds of medicine but yet no improvement until i saw testimonies on the internet of how Robinson buckler has been curing different people from different kinds of diseases, immediately i contacted him. After our discussion he prepared the medicine and send it to me, which i received and took according to his instructions. Now my doctor just confirmed me HSV2 negative. My heart is so filled with joy, thank you so much Robinson buckler for curing me. If you are reading this and you are suffering from HSV or any other disease or you want to fix your broken marriage/relationship or maybe get back with your Ex husband, Ex wife, Boyfriend or girlfriend you can contact this Email address: [Robinson.buckler ,,,........................”

“Looking for a spot to get a quick lunch. My son suggested this place. Food was great, service was quick, friendly staff and very reasonable. Definitely looking forward to a return visit!”

“They have one of the best chicken parm dinners in the area. Everything is so fresh and the home made sauce tale this dinner to the next level.”

“This place is amazing. I didn't know what to expect going in to the all you can eat restaurant. I was happily surprised that it's not buffet style. Servers and bussers. The restaurant is nicely styled and comfortable. The greeters and wait staff couldn't have been kinder or more professional. $28.99 is worth every penny just for that.

Everything combined made this experience one of the best outings I've ever had. I HIGHLY recommend this place.”

“Got pizza tonight and traveled quite a ways with it. So good. Worth the trip. Will definitely go back when in area again.”

“Drove past last night and noticed that they were opened. I have read online that their hours were a bit unpredictable, so it must have been my lucky day. Ordered the Gregorio personal pizza and was both satisfied and impressed. I often comment that after 30+ years in the capital district I do not have a "go to" pizza place; that may very well have just changed!”

“I order online frequently for home delivery. Food is excellent and usually arrives in about 30 to 40 minutes or less. They offer a wide variety of food, dessert and beverage options.”

“A friend just gifted me a cinnamon vegan donut from ‘Bitching Donut’, OMG I am hooked, will definitely be making a trip there and soon. I was the best donut I’ve ever eaten.”

“We had a 70th Birthday there and it was so amazing. The food is exceptional, the waiters are always there to assist, serve, the our waitress, Jessica, was the sweetest lady. She took all the orders, she waited through confusion. she repeated the menus, she was there popping in to see if we needed anything the entire time. Our guests all commented on the exceptional food and service. They deserve 10 stars!!! Highly recommend everyone go, just for the unique experience! The food alone is beyond deliciously, out of this world, good! Thank you Texas de Brazil staff and chefs. Thank you Jessica and Daniel!”

“First time visitor. Food was delicious. Staff was attentive, friendly. Would absolutely return to try more options. The lunch buffet is a step above others in the area.”

“My husband is a breakfast connoisseur and said this is the best breakfast he has had ANYWHERE! The Rocky Mountain Benedict’s was delicious and the Cherry Amaretto pancakes were to die for!! The home is gorgeous and SAM was the best server, hostess all around amazing l person ever! This is a must go and eat when in Albany! 5+++++ stars!”

“My sister and I visited the restaurant located in Colonie NY. This was our 3rd visit. We arrived and joined the wait list and were told it would be a 20 minute wait, 5 minutes later we were seated, yay! The restaurant was bust but the wait staff came over right away and took our drink order. Then soon after he took our dinner order, both the same thing a 6 oz sirloin. That is where things went south. I got up to use tge restroom, came back my sister had her salad, mine no where in sight. I waited and waited no salad, and couldn't get our wait staff's attention. Finally, I asked someone else. Meanwhile my sister's meal arrived, still no salad. The salad finally came, but not my meal. Twenty five minutes later my sister was done eating and my meal finally came. I don't know where the disconnect was but usually the service is perfect here”

“best French onion soup I've had yet. Meals were great”

“I went to The Scene this morning with my daughter in law and two granddaughters It’s a very charming place with cute decor. The service was excellent. My DIL and one of my granddaughters ordered from the lunch menu — a delicious panino and a yummy wrap. My other granddaughter ordered the Nutella Waffle. It was amazing. Alas, I ordered the avocado toast and it was very disappointing. It was very skimpy — very little avocado on one slice of bread. No poached eggs or burratta on the side. No fresh fruit. Very boring. Just seemed like an afterthought. I’ll be returning but will never order the avocado toast again.”

“We appreciated the welcoming environment and efficient service. Great place for productive conversations over a good meal.”

“I didn’t go in person yet so I cannot comment on the service or atmosphere but I just ordered from here for the first time and I must say it surely exceeded my expectations! I knew it would be good but didn’t expect it to be this good. The tenders are huge but also well flavored and cooked, the Dave’s sauce compliments in sooo well and the fries are curly fries and fried to perfection. I enjoy ever bit and corner of my plate, I wasn’t disappointed once. I had the lite mild and it was exactly that, a little spice with the perfect balance of classic and crunchy!!! I will be coming back, this is my new fav spot for sure but I gotta go in person this time to see if the service is as good as the food! Dave’s hot chicken is a 10/10. MONEY WELL SPENT!!!”

“Thanks for the pickle pizza!! You made this pregnant lady very happy 🥰🥒🍕”

“Ny friends and I met in Albany to celebrate after finishing up the paperwork for retirement from NY State employment. The appointment ran a bit later than expected but the restaurant was still able to accommodate us for a late lunch. Its such a nice, eclectic space and menu! Top notch service from our friendly, knowledgeable waitress. A great meal!”

“We can’t say enough about this place! My boyfriend and I had our first date here so it’s very special to us. We had a gender reveal here back in November and they brought out ice cream with blue sprinkles and sang to us. I went there yesterday; bought a slice of cheesecake and asked if they could put a candle in it and bring it out as a surprise for mine and my boyfriends 1 year anniversary. Not only did they do this but they also gave us an “anniversary” discount. Thank you for helping us make our special dinners even more special with your cooperation. ❤️”

“Lovely restaurant amazing burger options. My recent go to place.”

“Came here on Schenectady county summer block party. Amazing food, and service!!! I so recommend. Always the food places that are hidden are the best ❤️”

“This place is a total gem! The vibe is amazing, with a clean and organized space, cool memorabilia, and great music playing in the background. The staff is super friendly and always ready to help. The food is not only delicious but also incredibly affordable, and it comes out piping hot and fast. The self-serve drink dispenser is a huge plus, offering a wide range of options. And the best part? The soda actually tastes like real soda, not just sugary syrup. If you're looking for a fantastic dining experience, this place is a must-try!”

“Great old building from the old days. My server Christina was great. Prompt and courteous. Food was great and hot and fresh. The old style A frame was what I grew up with as a boy. Good memories. Thanks”

“While passing through for a short visit to the UAlbany campus, we researched some healthy and affordable lunch options nearby. We are so glad we found Simone's! This place is so cute on the outside, and fast, affordable, and delicious on the inside! The portions were huge, the food was fresh, and the prices were competitive with chains like Chipotle or Panera. 5/5!”

“Delicious pizza and great customer service.”

“The best food I've ever had, and what I liked most was that the food doesn't taste like old oil. Amazing restaurant.”

“I am very happy with my order. I ripped into the bag as soon as I got in my car. I grabbed some of the fries. They were so fresh and delicious!!!! I was doing a happy dance at the red light. I opened my burger and it looked so good. I took a bit and it was tasty. The meat was seasoned perfectly. The bun was fresh and soft. I’ll be going back to try the chicken soon.”

“Absolutely loved it was so delicious and was truly made with love i’ll definitely be returning”

“I am impressed!!! The atmosphere is energetic the food is amazing and the drinks are everything”

“Whenever I fly out of Albany Airport, I always stop by Hudson's for a pre-flight drink. I've consistently had positive experiences—friendly bartenders and quick service every time. It's also conveniently located near most of the airlines I fly with, which makes it an easy stop. I haven’t tried the food yet, so I can’t speak to that, but I definitely recommend grabbing a drink here if you’ve got a little time before your flight!”

“It far exceeded my expectations. Will definitely return!”
