Great smashed burgers in Albany. My new go to.

It was our first time visiting and the burger and fries blew me away. So much flavor packed into such a simple burger! We’ll definitely be back.

I entered the restaurant politely and simply asked to use the restroom. What should have been a normal and human interaction quickly escalated into an uncomfortable and deeply offensive encounter. Instead of being treated with basic respect and decency, I was met with hostility, suspicion, and a level of rudeness that felt clearly rooted in racial bias.

The tone, body language, and dismissive attitude of the owners made it very clear that I was unwelcome—not because of anything I said or did, but simply because of who I am. Their actions were not just impolite—they were discriminatory. It was a painful reminder that racism is still alive in places where all people should feel safe and respected.

I left feeling hurt, humiliated, and angry. No one should ever have to feel less than human because of the color of their skin. This kind of treatment is unacceptable anywhere, but especially in a public business that serves a diverse community.

I hope this review serves as a wake-up call to the owners and a warning to others. Until meaningful changes are made in the way customers are treated—regardless of race, background, or appearance—I cannot recommend or support this establishment. Racism has no place in our communities, and it certainly has no place in customer service.

Came here at 5:30 PM on a Thursday. Lights were on but the door was locked. Left hungry.

Not paying $16 for just one chicken sandwich with cheese and It doesn't even come with a side of fries prices made me walk right out the joint.

Asked to use the restroom as nowhere in the area had public restrooms I am currently 9 months pregnant and was denied bathroom access. I was told to go to the park or next store to Bowled. Bowled was extremely kind to allow me to use their restroom which stated employees only. Because they do not have a public restroom however they did confirm that next store had a public restroom as they are a restaurant. I was also told by the “staff in smashed that it is a restaurant. So do public restaurants not have public bathrooms. !????

My Mother and I really enjoyed our visit . We ordered the special, the “ crabby patty” . We both agreed , the bun was soft , yet didn’t get soggy, lettuce wasn’t romaine, but buttery , white onion, tomato , pickles , special sauce . The burger was very flavorful . The fries had a slight coating for that perfect crunch . The chef came out to greet us and serve our lunch , a kind gesture we appreciated.

i ordered the loaded fries. They are really delicious. The customer service was great. She was very polite and friendly. I would definitely go back to try their chicken sandwiches.

Very expensive for what it is. The loaded fries were great but the smash burgers lacked flavor in the meat.

Found hair on my burger. I won't be eating here again!

Perfect crust on the patties, great bun texture, and house sauce on point. 100% will be returning
