28 Best American Restaurants in Albany

“Good home cooking. We come here every Sunday“

“We heard about this place when my husband was getting a haircut and a number of people in the salon were talking about how good it was. On the way home we stopped by and it was the best lunch we’ve ever had! Absolutely can’t say enough about how great the food and service was!“

“Great food. High prices. And closed yesterday 12/5 at 3 in the afternoon out of nowhere. We planned on spending 50 bucks..that would have paid staff to cover that random lunch break at 3-4pm.“

“Coming from England and out for our first dinner in 🇺🇸! Delicious food and cocktails… highly recommend“

“I really enjoy the atmosphere! The food is great and their gluten free options are flavorful! The service is always timely and professional. Keep up the great work!!“

“Wonderful breakfast place! So good 🤤 I’m bummed we hadn’t found it before (apparently it’s been here 6 years & it’s just over the bridge into Albany). Fresh, delicious, reasonable prices, fantastic coffee w/ real cream, their own jam. We highly recommend the corned beef hash & biscuits & gravy 👍 If you haven’t tried it, we encourage you to.“

“Megan was an awesome server! We were working on our vow renewal ceremony and she asked us about it. She saw how excited we were and made it more special by bringing us this wonderful chocolate cake. We love the family atmosphere here. Thank you Megan!“

“their food is cozy homestyle American food. had liver and onions tonight. this place is the best restaurant around. you are now #1. see ya next weekend“

“My 5-star review is all due to our wonderful server, Creed! He is funny and makes the experience great every single time. Creed always recommends new dishes, I hope I get him every time! The food is always good too, especially the half price apps after 9pm. The Artichoke dip is to die for, my second choice is always the breadsticks and Alfredo sauce for dipping. The triple chocolate meltdown was delicious, but very rich, perfect for sharing!“

“Wonderful food! I had halibut and it was amazing. Best food in Albany. Great wait staff!!“

You guys did a fantastic job! :)“

“food was great servers was very nice keep up the great work“

“great food and drinks! the Cajun shrimp was kickin!“

“The boba and food is amazing! I’ve been visiting Fay’s since before 2019. Throughout middle school, high school, and still to this day. I have never left disappointed and it never gets tiring with all the amazing options provided. Highly recommend checking them out and supporting a local business. Owner is outgoing and staff are very friendly. They know my mom’s order by heart! Goes to show how much they care about their customers and how long we’ve been going there. 10/10 on service and food“

“Our family went to dinner Thursday night this week. The restaurant was pretty busy, so we were worried that the service may reflect that. We’ve struggle mentally to spend the money on a dinner out these days because we often leave disappointed in the meal and/or the service. Our server Maya totally knocked it out of the park and made our family night out worth every penny and more. Maya was pleasant, kind and anticipated our needs throughout the meal. We were greatly impressed by her attentiveness and will happily visit again soon. :)“

“I have been a fan - long time customer (17-years) of Depot. Great food !!! Love the new food adds !! It has always been good food and the very best staff. There was an ownership change, about a year ago, the new owners have carried on the tradition of the eclectic decor which is fun, and the preexisting staff is fabulous. Staff remains consistent after new ownership (good sign) and the new staffers are a great add! It is clear that business has picked up the because we are seeing wait lines again, which we have not seen for about 4-years and new staff members have been added frequently this entire year. Sign of happy customers and employees. It is clear that additional staff members are needed, good employees are hard to find in today’s environment of finding GOOD employees- so hard to find in todays world. One needs to remember this when criticizing not having wait staff checkin on them… We are consistent weekly customers for 17-years, have seen many improvements this past year. We highly recommend Depot Cafe ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Brioche bun was amazing on the best chicken 🐔 sandwich 🥪 😻I've ever had in my life 🧬 🤤 even the leftover half (because it was a very generous chicken breast serving) was better then excepted reheated in the air fryer..

Bartender could probably use a 🖌️ brush 🪥 up mixology course...(Was the trips only complaint ) First drink 🍷 was not what we ordered... But they happily remade us both different drinks 🍻 which kept the 5 Stars for us!“

“Excellent customer service and products! We have gotten linguica from here and loved it! Also don’t forget to grab an omelette and potatoes with gravy!“

“Too many gay dudes cooking my burgers then going home afterwork and doing each other while they tell their wives they are at home. Oh and they have herpes“

“Good food, To go“

“I worked in Albany today and swung by there on my lunch break. Nikki was the bartender she was amazing, friendly, and very nice to talk to. I didn’t have time to eat there but the food she made for a customer looked amazing!!! I’ll be back for sure when I’m ever in town!“

“The 2 piece chicken meals that comes with toast and jojos came with TWO jojos. One per piece of chicken. The service was great, the portions are odd. There wasn't any music playing which made the atmosphere feel slightly off for a bar and grill.“

“Got them while at the OSU food truck event. Very friendly couple. Very tasty food, favorite part was their white cheese sauce!“

“In my opinion the best Chinese food in Albany. The prices feel high, but I feel that way pretty much everywhere these days. our go to's are general tso chicken extra spicy, szechuan beef, sweet and sour chicken, bbq pork, and pork fried rice. The interior is one of the nicest for the food type I've seen, so it's a shame it stayed take-out only.“

“Always amazing service, friendly and comforting.“

“Hamids pizza is the best pizza“
