Great bbq. Nice coating and no need to add bbq sauce. We had the ribs , brisket and pulled pork -all delicious.Craft beers are great too. I had the Rochester - a light pale ale -perfect

Warehouse was great two years ago. Was in the area last week so stopped in and had a not so good meal. The positives: the server was nice, the poutine appetizer was very good (not sure why there was a blob of mustard on a plate of gravy and french fries - but whatever) and the cornbread was good. The negatives: the steak was ordered medium but was medium rare. It was not returned (which is on us) but was abandoned when the center turned out to be very rare. The half rack of ribs were extremely dry - the meat had no juice at all. Abandoned. The coleslaw was a pile of dry cabbage - no dressing. I did not ask for any compensation although the server said she did talk to the manager whose response was that he would speak with the cooks. The food left on our plates was a testament as to how poor the meal was. All in all, very disappointing for a meal that cost us (with tip) over $90 (no alcohol).

Food is good. Easily would be a 5 star review if the bartender, who was anti social didn't get bitter with me for leaving only %18 tip after pouring 2 beers and plopping an appetizer down in front of me. Her bitter attitude was prevalent from the start but my tip wasn't influenced by that. It was as always a quick,rough math stroke of the pen. Seemed ungrateful and unprofessional to question me on it.

Overall, yummy place and good BBQ. The chicken was very good. Pork was average. Brisket was good once you put sauce on it (otherwise, bit dry). Decent sized portions, as the prices are a bit high. Fun atmosphere. Family friendly. Great service. Would go back to try more!

I ordered take out. I ordered the beef brisket platter. Corn bread was supposed to come with the meal. It was no where to be found. My 2 sides were baked beans and sweet potato fries. Who ever packed this up in the kitchen didn't seal the lid properly causing the baked beans to spill all over the inside of the bag. The meal was not hot. Very sloppy kitchen work. They should all be replaced. There's no need to come back here- EVER!
Parking: Plenty of parking. The grounds were unkempt. Grass needed cutting and trimming.

Food is very average about 2.5 stars Good BBQ doesn't really need sauce to be flavorful because a good rub is a combination of sweet salty and savory. This has some heat but no real flavor. Cornbread was very meh. The staff was very pleasant but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.

My wife and I both ordered the Pulled Chicken Platter and were surprised to receive what looked like shredded chicken without any sauce. My waitress confirmed that our order was correct -- and what the Warehouse Grill calls pulled chicken is smoked but has no sauce. When I asked about sauces we could add, she pointed to a lone bottle of barbecue sauce on our table. A single, cold sauce in a restaurant that serves barbecue.

Dry rub ribs smoked with, I believe, hardwood. Neither is my preference for BBQ. Ribs were otherwise fine, pulled pork was wet. Tasted like housemade sweet potato waffle fries dusted with cinnamon and a bit of sugar. Lots of choices of cold beer. Ask for server "Maddie with a bag"! I'll be going back!

Pulled pork and Ribs are good, not too salty. And the Big Classic burger with a fried egg is awesome.

I appreciate a bbq place that offers gluten free options. I was able to eat a pulled pork sandwich, my first in years. It was tasty. It was a little skinny on the pork and sauce. Great drink selection.
On a recent trip to Albany, I stopped in at this restaurant and placed a takeout order. The restaurant was not empty but also not packed for Saturday at 6 PM on Memorial Day weekend. Don't know if this was foreshadowing. It took my friend and I over 40 minutes to get our orders. I received my order after 25 minutes placing it, but my friend didn't get his for another 15 minutes.NOTE double-check your takeout orders before leaving. The kitchen forgot 2 side dishes. Then, when we finally sat down to eat , we realized our Southwest Cobb was missing the BBQ chicken.Needless to say, the kitchen was leaking quality control that night. The manager was professional about the situation and attempted to make things right.Last words are the food is actually really good but kitchen service needs more seasoning.

Very tasty food and engaging experience ! Sweet potato fries are sweeter with cinnamon and sugar:))

Great service, the food took a while to come out and it did not taste the best, the restaurant itself was very clean and had a cool atmosphere .

Ribs were very dry and chewy, sort of like having jerkey on a bone. They were also pretty bland for having been smoked. The top half of the cornbread was dry, but the bottom half was moist and yummy. I’m guessing it had been setting around awhile and started drying out. The coleslaw had a good flavor, but I believe it had been around awhile also, as the cabbage was no longer crunchy. The pork & beans were the star of my plate, quite delicious. If only I had ordered the pork & beans dinner instead of the ribs. Sigh! Service was good, beer was good, but sorry the food here needs someone who understands quality control managing it and what will be given to a customer. I would not eat here again.

We don’t come to Albany often, but we always stop at Warehouse BBQ! The food is too notch and the drink list is great. This time was extra fun because of bartender Lauren. She was knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and one of the best bartenders we’ve had in a long time! She made a very cool smoked bourbon Manhattan that literally smoked. We ate “pig wings” and nachos, and a BBQ sampler. Delish! Thanks to Lauren for a great night.
