Even though we arrived only 30 minutes before closing, we were greeted with a smile and told we had plenty of time to order and eat our lunch. We both ordered a wrap that turned out to be excellent, served with a huge pile of perfectly cooked French fries. They were lightly golden brown, crispy on the outside, and soft inside. The iced tea was fresh and not bitter at all, and I am very picky about my tea. All in all, this is a wonderful little place for breakfast or lunch.
The food here is very good. People are friendly, and the prices reasonable.
We always love the meals here. A little disappointed today. I tried their biscuits and gravy. It was two thick pieces of bread with a little gravy. Not what I expected from them. My wife’s potatoes were cold. I don’t usually complain but said something to server. She took money off the bill. Not what I was after. I like eating at this establishment but if you just except something that’s not very good they end up with horrible food and go out of business. I would love to see them change the way they make it so it’s better. Like I said the food here is usually excellent. This was a one off kind of experience.
Amazing meal. Get the chicken and waffles! Great spicy bloody Mary.
I put my name on the list and was welcomed in less than 5 minutes later. I was given a friendly greeting! The food was delicious and the cafe had a pleasant atmosphere!!
Monica the server is worst server I've had in years. Waited forever for check. Spent 73 dollars on 3 of 4 who did eat, with no alcohol. Husband hated his food and didnt touch his undercooked hashbrowns. Tried some of daughter's veggie Benedict and it was flavorless. I did not even get food personally because I ordered a biscuit sandwich and was brought huevos rancheros. Do those sound similar? I pointed at the item I ordered too, so have no idea how either high or dumb she must be to have messed that up.
Got the steak and eggs. Cooked to perfection. Service was excellent. I really enjoyed the biscuit. Could tell it was made with love.
How disappointing. Street parking is impossible & our server was hugely inconvenienced by us. The venue could be fun & unique, how unfortunate all we wanted to do was get out.
Parking: Make sure to give yourself time to find parking.

Wow I am shocked and saddened by Nancy Stuart’s review. My sister and I are literally here 2-3 times a week. Kacey and the entire staff are so consistently amazing and always eager to go over and above to provide excellent service. This place gets jamming busy and Kacey keeps her cool and does her utmost to keep the bar humming along. Can’t help but wonder how another regular customer here would react so negatively. Can’t give enough shout outs to the best restaurant in Albany and it is all a superb mix of excellent food and staff that loves being here and doing what they do. So glad Kacey was promoted to her current position, she totally rocks it!!

After years of supporting this business, I'm saddened to say I will never go back. The food, is great. The service, specifically Kacey, the bartender, is nothing shy of abysmal.
The guys were treating the wives, taking us to our favorite breakfast. And to our disappointment we walked out, without our meal, after being treated like a burden and eventually completely ignored by staff.
They saw at least $175 walk out their door that morning, and it will never be back.... Kindness and grace go along way. I don't see how a local business can survive with such poor representation.

Where to begin , i ordered for pick up ahead time placed it at 11 for it to be ready at 1:15 . Walked in and waited for someone to acknowledge me or even throw me i'llnbe right with nothing . After couple mins someone asked what they could help me with i let them i placed an ordered for pick up instantly i was told it be to the left on the table when it was ready ok except after waiting for some time nothing . So approach again and ask this time the person is visibly annoyed i'm asking they ask how i put my order in because they don't see anything .. after some back forth they figured they didn't even turn the tablet they use for to go orders ! Now i get things happen but the way it handled and the lack basic communication and customer service is astounding to me ! side note a door dasher waited 45 min for scrambled eggs ! i was able to the french dip ordered since they couldn't and didn't try to refund me my 18.50 for a half
assed sandwich thrown together . Needless to this is the first time I've had terrible service here but is the last !

Very yummy breakfast and really good mimosa options! The cafe has great coffee as well! They were busy but the wait wasn't too bad at all. Visiting Albany for a couple days and happened upon this spot for birthday brunch! I would definitely return!

It was a bit loud, but the food was gorgeous and plentiful. Wife had the eggs Benedict and I had the lemon blueberry pancakes, and both were excellent. She's a Benedict aficionado so her being pleased is a good sign. I enjoyed the balance of flavors on mine.
