19 Best Burger Restaurants in Albany

“This cafe has the best food...The owner Nate was very nice and accommodating. It's in the basement of the courthouse..We will definitely come back“

“Food is absolutely delicious. Location is a bit grungy, but it's a family owned hole-in-the-wall gem. Cute old couple run the place. The lady is not friendly and doesn't smile or say hello when you say hello, but it's okay because the food is that good, it's worth it. Also didn't get any napkins or utensils but it's fine. I'll keep coming back because the burgers are that good. They're also cash only, so don't forget to stop by an ATM before you come here!“

“Food is fast food, the burgers taste good, has nice sauce and good buns, the fries seem like cheap freezer fries but not necessarily bad. The milkshakes are great. Definitely recommend you come here over the big box corporations like McDonald's and burger King and because they are a small local company I think they get a pass on the higher prices but they are higher.“

“So very disappointed at SHORTSTOPS hamburger, shakes, and fries. Was made fresh drove to Hyak Park (5min drive) tots so piled with salt and the mass amount of grease left the food soggy and grossly over seasoned, notice the amounts of grease on the bag and every napkin soaked in grease, the tots containers soaked in grease , and the soggy squished buns. Went to get my money back because 2 meals $40.50 is outrageous when you cant even eat it. The thin gal with long pretty blonde hair rolled her eyes at me saying well they are greasy burgers. I said the shakes were great and my child was starving and ate the burger that was on top away from all the grease. I would be willing to pay for that but wanted a refund for everything else. So spent 40.50 got refunded in cash $15. Not fn cool. fyi 2 shakes and a double chz burger is $23 (still over priced for size and quality compared to lets say Hasty Freeze) Hire some decent cooks that can recognize they fuc@*d up. And do the right thing instead of still purposely screwing over customers and trying to gaslight folks that thats how burgers and tots are supposed to be. you should be ashamed of how your employees represent your establishment and what they are serving to the community. ZERO stars. first and last time I will spend money here.“

“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.“

“Best fast food in town and it’s not even close. The Mexican crew in the morning and lunch time, is the best crew I’ve ever seen in my life. I’m serious. They are so friendly so fast so honorable. I don’t know how they got such a perfect team here. Lightning in a bottle. I promise you, you will never find this kind of work ethic anywhere. I’d come here just for the hospitality. Absolutely unmatched service. Unmatched human beings. This is what life is worth living for, seeing these kind of people exist is an absolute honor. Raises my spirits every time I come here. Damn they’re good. The only bad thing about this place is eventually I have to leave.“

“We tried Smash Burgers for the first time this evening and it was fantastic! The customer service was great and the food was awesome. We will definitely be back!“

“Great Food and Service. We’ll be back.“

“Always good, great employees. Always stop here when going thru albany oregon. Everyone working here is doing an amazing job and should get a raise imo! Last visit i tried something new and got a pomegranate iced drink, can't remember the exact name but it was AMAZING! Very unique flavor and can't wait to go back. Love their burger sauce and you can buy it by the jar here too which is great to use at home as we dont have a burgerville where I live.“

“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“

“This location has the best customer service!! The people who work here are so friendly, attentive, and courteous - it’s a rare thing these days!! Thank you.

Also very clean restrooms/clean restaurant overall and great burgers. I forgot how great Carls Jr. was until I stopped in recently for lunch.“

“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!“

“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. :)“

“food is good, wait time was long and they forgot an item that we ordered and I didn't notice it until we got home. Better service this time around and none of the ordered items were missing this time. Wait time was still kinda long and it's a bit pricey.“

“Excelente food and service I’m very happy 😃“

“they have good service and are very nice“

“Dave's Double always juicy n delicious. Baconator fries are just cheesy fries with slices of bacon on it not bacon bits. I love the drink machine with different flavors. The long bench up front by the register has wholes in it and needs new cushions.“

“The food was hot (unlike Burger King) The service was very nice and professional (with some chuckles, but you can still be professional and laugh. Don’t be a snoot) The food was delicious and I still think McDonald’s fries are the best! Oh and McDonald’s has the best chicken nuggets. My spicy chicken sandwich was perfectly done and my girlfriend’s cheeseburgers were also perfect as always. The staff was awesome! Only drawback, diet Dr. Pepper was out :( Not sure if the ice cream machine was working, but this meme is over played, but I had to add it to the review to make it official.“
