Restaurants in Albany

“This has been my favorite spot for lunch while working for Amazon I was upset when they switched my delivery area cause I missed this spot so much I came in tonight had fried fish over rice and it was 10/10 as usual I've tried almost everything on the menu and the owner and staff always show love and treat me with respect if your ever in the area stop by you won't be disappointed.”

“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!”

“Always awesome food. Me and my fiancé stopped by before a show last night and I got the Buffmac Crunchwrap and I need more of those in my life. Will always be back to put a checklist next to everything on the menu.”

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

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

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

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

“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!)”

“I've been here twice now, and lived it both times! The staff was friendly, attentive and just fun to be around! This will be a regular stop when I'm in town for work!!”

“If you want to experience a truly unique and amazing sushi restaurant this is the place. From the moment you are seated until the last bite you will amazed. Every single bite is fantastic and it's hard to pick a favorite. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back.”

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

“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♡”

“Terrific food, great service!”

“The food was outstanding! We just got back from Italy and it seriously felt like we were still there. The meatballs were like my grandmother's and the specials were delicious. Their sauce, service and wine is all 5 star. This restaurant is a hidden gem! We will be back!!!”

“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”

“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!”

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

“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!🍻”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“My favorite place to get pizza! Excellent thin crust ny style pizza. The sauce and cheese are delicious! Generously sized slices. Two slices and a soda deal is great! Especially for sharing.”

“All the staff were very friendly. The food was delicious.”

“Some of my co-workers brought me out to The Copper Crow for my birthday! It was a wonderful experience. • Nice host, prompt seating. • Attentive and knowledgeable server. • Extensive draft, cocktail & mocktail list. • Great food, good portions, cooked well. • Excellent desserts. I look forward to going 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!”

“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!”

“Excellent customer service! Fast, friendly and always provide great information. I love the patches from PatchAid. I have purchased several types of patches for years now and my health has significantly benefited from them.”

“M&E PRODUCTION HEALING HART INC. The first and only nonprofit organization in the world that utilizes Art Therapy, Entertainment and Universal Education to Spread Love and Peace throughout HUMANITY.”

“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”

“I recently tried Cheesecake Machismo for the first time and OH MY GOODNESS! By far the best cheesecake I have ever had and I consider myself a cheesecake snob. My family tried: Ube, Hot Cousin-Peach Cobbler, Butter Rum Apple, Caramel Toffee, Cherry Amaretto, and Strawberry. My favorites were Caramel Toffee and Cherry Amaretto and my husband loved the Hot Cousin and Cherry Amaretto! An absolute must try!”

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

“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!!!”

“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.”

“Short and Stout Tea did not disappoint. Their tea was delicious and the service was impeccable. Their staff was extremely knowledgeable on all items within their store/Cafe. As far as I am concerned Short and Stout is my number one recommended tea stop!”

“We ordered the petite platter and a cutting cake from Coccadotts for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with both the experience and the final product! When we were deciding on our wedding desserts, we tried their wedding cake sample kit, and everything tasted so delicious that we knew we couldn’t go wrong with any of their desserts.

Coccadotts was super easy to work with and very responsive throughout the entire process. I had a few questions about how many dessert plates we’d need for the display, and they provided clear, helpful guidance that made planning simple. On the wedding day, our caterer was supposed to pick up the desserts, but when they didn’t show up before closing, Coccadotts actually called me about 10 minutes before they closed to let me know. Thanks to that call, my wedding coordinator was able to step in and pick everything up. Even though it was past closing time, they kindly waited for her arrival, which I was so grateful for.
The desserts looked absolutely beautiful and tied perfectly into our wedding colors, and our guests loved every single thing on the spread. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented, and very affordable for the quality. I would highly recommend Coccadotts to any couple looking for amazing wedding desserts and a wonderful, caring vendor experience!”

“Great food from beginning to end for both parents and kids! The service was so nice, our waitress was really friendly and knowledgeable.”

“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”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

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

“Delicious. Must go. Get that mantu!”

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

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

“The food was tasty, clean and fresh!! Lots of choices, plenty of room to sit. They even had dessert!! Plenty of food for a fair price. I’ll be back for more.”

“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.”

“Evan S provided excellent service. We enjoyed the striped bass special. It was tasty and had the right amount of spice. The ricotta ravioli special with a creamy tomato sauce was delicious. The tiramisu was one of the best we have had.”

“Our lunch experience at this restaurant was a satisfying one. We dined with family. The place is simple with minimal decor and basic seating.
While we placed our order at the counter, the food was served at the table without much waiting.
The lamb shank over rice was very good so also the other dishes. Reasonable portions and quite authentic flavors made the dining special. Priced reasonably, one can enjoy a hearty meal for as little as $20.”

“First time at this location of Mission BBQ- amazing service - the staff was polite and attentive. Food was delicious- I will be returning many more times. #HappyHalloweenteam”

“You can get a filling bowl with lots of good vegetables for a reasonable price here in the food court. Many of the sauces are vegan and they are very good. It's a great addition to the food court!”

“We enjoyed a delicious family meal tonight! The chicken was so tender and the flavor was delicious. Very generous portion - plenty for the four of us. And the best pita bread to accompany the dish. We added on some baklava for a sweet treat at the end and it was amazing! Thank you - we’ll be back soon.”

“I had the beef ramen and green milk tea and omg it was so good. the seating area was also cozy and the service was great. highly recommend.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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!”

“As always, this restaurant stands out as a superb choice for dinner. Scrumptious steaks, excellent sides, perfect class A service, and a warm friendly staff. Great place for any night and super for date night or celebrations!”

“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.”

“Excellent food! It was so hard to choose something on the menu because it all sounded 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!”

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

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

“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! 🧋”

“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.”

“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!”

“Mr. Mamoun is the best and everything I’ve ever tried here has been so good. I’m vegan and find it very easy to tell which dishes I can eat on the website - and there are enough that I still haven’t tried them all despite eating here pretty often. The pita chips are crunchy, the hummus is creamy and flavorful, and everything else is better than you can probably imagine. Take out only which works for me. This is the #1 restaurant I recommend in the Albany area.”

“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 special thank you to Jennifer who took my last minute order for a graduation cake for my niece! The cake was big & beautiful, super fresh and delicious! And so reasonably priced! I highly recommend Fiorello Bakery! Thanks again, Jennifer. And congratulations to your daughter on her graduation! 🎓🎉”

“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.”

“A jewel of a discovery. When we found other establishments on New Scotland Ave closing their dining rooms by 9pm on a Saturday night, SakeCafe was graciously open, serving delicious food (we tried a little of everything from sushi to Udon) and with the best tableside service I've experienced in literally years. Oh, and the hot sake is splendid and at $6/bottle an unbeatable value. SO happy to know they are just around the corner. Sorry bao buns place but you lose, SakeCafe wins.”

“What a fantastic place. The food was amazing. Small menu of items from all over New York, but everything we had was delicious! The on-tap beer selection was extensive and great. The bartender was very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. If you’re ever in Albany PLEASE PLEASE stop in and enjoy a beer, a Shirley temple(my daughter had 3), and the wings or garbage plate!”

“My son and his family were visiting from Alaska. I wanted to find a nice place for brunch that wasn't a diner and I'm glad that I chose this restaurant. It was very clean and well designed. Food choices were plentiful. The waitress was excellent. I only had a few concerns and I had ordered this ham and cheese appetizer and it basically was just cooked bread. with minimal ham and cheese on the top. A bit disappointing. Also, that was served lukewarm. I had eggs, Benedict and that was delicious, but also did arrive not as hot as I had anticipated. My family said that everything that they ordered was fine and they truly enjoyed it.”

“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!”

“BEST ITALIAN FOOD IN THE NORTEAST ,”

“The food was amazing. The flavor melted in mu mouth and the workers there are kind and patient”

“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.”

“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!”

“Tastes god and delicious”

“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”

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

“My son and his family were visiting from Alaska. I wanted to find a nice place for brunch that wasn't a diner and I'm glad that I chose this restaurant. It was very clean and well designed.

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

“Dave & Busters in Albany, NY came in absolutely CLUTCH for us today! I had my son's 6th birthday party booked at Urban Air, but 20 minutes in, everyone had to evacuate due to a ceiling pipe bursting and causing a HUGE mess. Feeling stranded, a guest jokingly mentioned Dave & Busters, and after a couple minutes of thought, we decided to give it a shot. Not only did they accommodate our entire group of people(about 25), we also recieved fantatic service and was able to enjoy the rest of my son's special day. Thank you so much to the staff in Albany, NY today for helping us save this day. We appreciate it so much, and will absolutely return in the future!”

“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 ❤️”

“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 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.”

“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”

“First time at this location of Mission BBQ- amazing service - the staff was polite and attentive. Food was delicious- I will be returning many more times. #HappyHalloweenteam”

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

“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!”

“How do you keep warm and in good spirits up in the crown of Maine, Aroostook county? Well...."New Scotland spirits"! Helderberg winter wheat whiskey.. 68W American corn whiskey.... or a nice bottle of Helderberg Vodka. Thanks so much for a taste of Home. Happy New year!”

“Delicious pizza and great customer service.”

“if you like traditional Mexican food you must try the newly opened El Rancho on Central Ave in Albany!!! El Rancho offers truly authentic Mexican cuisine -- in the Oaxaca tradition. Fresh, delicious, plentiful, dishes and fantastic lunch specials (including delicious "burrito bowls" and taco specials). The best chips !! thin, crispy, not oily with the perfect amount of salt. The restaurant is beautiful -- hand painted murals and traditional vibrant Oaxaca decor. Nice, airy bar is separated from the dining room making dining a pleasure. Attentive and informative staff and family-run and very welcoming! I'm definitely returning....”

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

“The coffee was just ok; I'd skip the pastries. Fairly priced. This is a great place to work, provided you can find a table (has outlets and Wi-Fi)! The best part is they're open past 3pm, which none of the other coffee shops nearby do.

You may have to share a bench with a stranger even if sit at your own table, and they're pretty light so they slide around a bit.”

“Great food, a lot of fun grilling a bunch of bulgogi on a table grill. Staff is super friendly. I will be back for more bulgogi 🤤”

“First time eating here, the two hotdogs that i got were the chilli dog with ketchup and sauerkraut, relish, ketchup and let me tell you it was so delicious. It’s s nice to have something different in the area, the customer service was really good and the packaging for the hotdog was perfect (it was in a sealed container). The bun was sweet and the hotdogs were all beef from what i can tell. The pricing is also good considering the times we are in. Will definitely come back.”

“Love this deli! It's always so clean and the staff is friendly. I've had some hot food once in a while but really come here to pick up a snack. Happy to have a deli around”

“THE best FOOD in Albany!!!
I highly recommend the peanut butter soup with banku and chicken, but there are many other amazing dishes! Come support this small business!”

“the new sports bar to be at”

“best oxtails I have ever had hands down and I been to a lot of places lived in Albany my whole life ! Mac salad is so good I have not been to any other spot since also service is always great fast and prices are great too !”

“Highly recommend- gorgeous smoky chargrilled chicken and my Peruvian husband voted their ceviche as one of the best he’s had! The chaufa (fried rice dish) was also fantastic. Try them!”

“Grate spot to hang before and after shows at Lark Hall (~);}”

“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.”
