12 Best Bar & Grill in Albany

“Great beer selection….service attentive and friendly! Had the best Cob salad 🥗“

“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.“

“Real nice! Definitely worth a visit“

“Fantastic experience earlier this month having Sunday Brunch with my son and our American cousins at Lost & Found. This place is great! The real America, in Albany, away from the well-beaten tourist tracks. Friendly service, great menu, tasty food, and the proprietor is a gent - even let us get group photos on the stage as he hadn’t a band at the time! It was a wet Sunday but we just had a great family get together inside. Not that far from the city centre and worth finding. Very good value as well.“

“So I'm from Indiana and delivered across the street from Joe's. I read there reviews and thought what the hell I'll try it out. Bit am I glad I did. Was treated like I'd been there a thousand times. The food was great the drink was strong but not to strong and the hospitality was like being in the south. So if you're out that way stop and have a drink and some wings. I'll have to add photos later can't find them“

“The hamburgers live up to all expectations. The chicken wings were perfectly cooked and the mozzarella sticks we're very cheesy. The atmosphere is nothing to look at and it was a little bit too cold in the tavern but I will be visiting again and again for their fabulous food and service.“

“Cafe Hollywood dose not get any better for a Lark Street experience for fun, food and entertainment. Especially when Justin is looking out for us all with his wife Jen, the second greatest business owners on Lark Street. Thank you Justin and Lark “

“I’m updating my review for Johnnie's On Broadway after another disappointing visit. When we first moved into the area, we were excited to support a local spot, but unfortunately, the experience has gone downhill.

They’ve gone from offering a full menu to just a few items—on this visit, only fried wingettes or fish were available, and sides were limited to string beans, yams, and potato salad. I asked for greens and was given yams instead, which I assume means they had run out. The bartender did her best and wrote the menu options on a sheet of paper, but it was clear the kitchen was unprepared. We arrived around 5 or 6 PM, and she mentioned the staff was “just coming in,” even though the posted hours say they open at 1 PM.

To make matters worse, the food was burnt (I’ve included a photo for reference), and the atmosphere was anything but welcoming. The owner or manager came in and immediately started blasting music so loud we couldn’t even hold a conversation. We ended up taking the food to go and won’t be returning.

Summary of review in 2024
Overall, Johnnie's Daughter is a gem of a restaurant, serving up soulful dishes that hit all the right notes. With a few tweaks to the ambiance, it has the potential to become a timeless favorite for generations to come.“

“Finding the BEST Mozzarella sticks and Melba sauce in the capital region continued ...

Today I have Graney's Bar & Grill in Albany

As always I called in to order and it was ready within 15 minutes.

These were huge and they were good. Was hot and fresh upon pick up.
Seasoned well. Beautiful cheese pull .
I just wish they fried them a little longer. Also wish there was a lil more raspberry sauce.

They were definitely good, I would say above average.

SCORE
Taste: 8/10
Texture: 7/10
Cheese pull : 10
Total: 25/30

PS: all my reviews will be pick up order based 🙃“

“Dashdoor made a hot mess out of our work lunch today. Junior’s staff went above and beyond to make things right! Food was great as always, in our office it’s always a top pick place for us to order from!“

“The food and service was great. The karaoke was a lot of fun“
