“A southern brunch that was so good. 4 of us went to celebrate a birthday and we all enjoyed it immensely. I had the Dad and it was absolutely delicious. We loved the fried green tomatoes, and the tater tots. I had a bourbon bacon bloody Mary that was out of this world. I can't wait to go back!Parking: Street parking was available and they have a lot behind the building.“

Smothered Chicken Dinner
Candied Yams

“Holy lip smacking good batman lol. I went through on my lunch break. I will 100% be going back. The food is phenomenal. I hdd the smothered chicken with beans and rice. The sauce is soooo good. I don't really like Mac n cheese. But theirs is excellent. And the green beans are the best I have ever had. I don't know how they prepare them but damn good. Do yourselves a favor and get some food from here. You will not be disappointed.“

Hattie's Restaurants Albany Southern • $$

Brussels Sprouts
Jambalaya

“Had dinner there last night and it was excellent. This is the location of the former Lombardo's restaurant on lower Madison Avenue. This is a new Albany location of the legendary Hattie's in Saratoga Springs, which has been serving up southern fare since the early 1930s. There is off-street parking next to the restaurant and in a lot directly across the street. Ambiance inside is lively and the renovations in the space kept many of the old Albany elements with a mix of New Orleans, all updated and welcoming. The cocktail I had - a Vieux Carre - was mixed to perfection. Jambalaya, grit cakes, key lime pie all outstanding. Friends had the famous fried chicken and the ribs - rave reviews. Excellent service. Highly recommended.Parking: Next to the restaurant and across the street.“
