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 🙃“

“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.“
