25 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Albany

“Quite possibly the best taco I've eaten. Can't go wrong with the crunchy tacos - chicken, shredded beef, or ground beef, all amazing.“

“You know what's better than amazing food? Amazing people making the amazing food! These guys are so awesome, I absolutely loved the shawarma wrap and though the falafel is a little bit denser than I prefer, the flavor is spot on and I like the aioli on top. 100% recommended!“

“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.“

“These guys were pretty good. They're matched up with Love's gas station which I don't mind. I was looking for my daughter in the bathroom on the love side and someone thought I was a creep. It kind of upset me when I'm hollering for my daughter and I did not even enter the woman's restroom. Otherwise the food was excellent“

“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.“

“Great People, Great Food, Great Atmosphere“

“We weren’t familiar with Burgerville, but while traveling through the area we decided to give it a try, and we’re glad we did! The food was delicious and really hit the spot after a long day on the road. The shakes were even better than described—absolutely worth ordering. The staff was kind, friendly, and helpful, which made the experience even better. If we’re ever back in the area, we’ll definitely be stopping in again.“

“Haven't had Arby's in over a decade and tried the Greek gyros due to a craving for them, and they were excellent. As most fast food places these days, went in with low expectations and assumed not much meat would be on them, but I was wrong by a mile. These were loaded with meat and thick; fresh; and tasted really good. This store location had friendly service and the place was clean. With the exception of any price hikes or cutting of toppings, will be a regular here now...at least for the gyros.“

“I’ve spent most of my life bouncing between Mexico and California, and I will say my standards are high when it comes to Mexican food. I don’t look for Michelin Star quality - I look for authentic, tastes-like-abuela’s-cooking. While passing through Albany, I stopped at Victorico’s without knowing anything about it, it was just a convenient location.
I stepped in and first found the restaurant to be small, but very clean - a huge step up from similar restaurants I’ve been to. The cashier was friendly (although she didn’t know what I ordered was actually on the menu), and the menu itself was on digital boards; easy to read with a wide variety, and very fair pricing.
I’ve been missing tortas, as I don’t live in a place with Mexican food, so I ordered a cheese steak torta. I must say, the first bite zoomed me back to a hot Mexicali kitchen, biting into some of the best asada I’ve ever had in a torta. It was absolutely delicious and a bit emotional, as well (I do miss my dear Lilia!).
Well done, Victorios - you know what you’re about, and you do it well.“

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

“We stopped at this Burger King on our road trip from Vancouver, Canada to San Francisco, and Julio made our day! He was incredibly kind, and went out of his way to make us feel welcome. He even gave us some coupons, which was so thoughtful. His positive attitude and excellent customer service really stood out and made our stop memorable. Thank you Julio, for your kindness and hospitality. You made a great first impression on our trip! Burger King is lucky to have you.“

“my server Lily was an absolute delight. I didn't have to be asked what all I needed repeatedly. and quite possibly made the best tasting and best looking g sub I've had in a long g time. Lily deserves a raise!😊⚘😊👍👋“

“they have good service and are very nice“

“My husband and I are on a trip up North and A&W is our favorite stop to make. We stopped on a Thursday around noon on March 12 and the gal who got us our food was the kindest and most considerate. If you are looking for a very pleasant place to stop and enjoy some yummy food, we highly recommend this place! Worth the 5 minute wait for fresh made burgers and great service! Wish we would have caught her name to give her more recognition! P.s. one of the better A&W’s we have eaten at!!“

“I always go through the drive through but staff are always right on top of things there and do a great job getting my food done and on my way. I go about once a week and get my meatball marinara footlong on mondays when its the featured sandwich for the day. !!! Sandwich chips and soda for a little over 10$! Its my favorite!“

“I really like Jersey Mike's in general. I grew up on the East Coast and subs were something I loved and we had so many small family owned ships to choose from. Still love good sandwiches and I think they deliver most of the time. I had the new roasted chicken and it was good but there was one problem with it. I always get Mike's Way and I have had this problem a few times. The bottom layer of the roll was soggy so much that I had to remove it and eat the sandwich open face. I ate in store so it wasn't because I took it somewhere else before eating it. I didn't say anything when I was there because the crew was very busy and as I was leaving I thought that this has happened at other Mikes locations as well. I am not sure if it is just someone adding too much vinegar or something else. My sandwich did sit waiting to be cut and wrapped for a bit so maybe that has something to do with it .“

“I removed prior post because the situation has been remedied. Today, District and local Managers made things right. Our family has been loyal customer since it opened at mall, therefore knowing that this is being looked into makes myself and family feel better. So, Thank you to the Managers and District today for validating our complaints and getting it handled!“

“So my review has nothing to do with this resturant. They place is good location, very nice helpful staff. I just hate that wendys changed the spicy chicken.. it is just not good. Please take it back to the old spicy chicken. This one was cooked well but the meat was so dry could not finish it.“

“I always go to subway and i always have great experiences. but the last couple weeks every time I go i don’t see my favorite server. for several months i would always be greeted by a very nice young man named Draedon. but he hasn’t been there the past couple times. I don’t know if he quit or was fired but I want him back.“

“First time coming to this subway, better than I expected! Went in for a sandwich and the worker was super helpful and kind! I believe her name was lexy, she had curly hair, super kind and respectful. I will probably come back more because of her service 😋😄“

“This was such a clean and delightful Subway, their bathrooms were spotless and so well maintained. The building was really clean, lots of nice spaces for people to sit and enjoy their meals. The girls in there were really sweet and did a great job with the sandwiches. All I can see is a host ID number and not who actually helped, either way th two girls ahowed great teamwork, I think they were closing because they kind of rushed through it a bit, but they were still very kind and sweet host ID 8343f20863. They definitely deserve a major kudos:-)“

“I had a great experience the other evening, when I brought my kids. The staff was so kind. Especially Azalea, she went out of her way to make sure we felt welcomed. We got our order fast, and it absolutely hit the spot. Great value for ice cream in Albany. We will definitely be coming back.“

“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.“

“I ordered food to pick up. I got there a few minutes early and had to wait which was fine. A couple people were waiting and they were super busy and we were offered a free drink, which I very much appreciated - great service and friendly. I ordered the noodles and two entrees and the entrees were great but boy they do not do the noodles well here. It's been years since coming to this location and other Panda Express locations have great noodles but these were dry and bland-which I remember thinking before. So I ate pretty much only the entrees and threw the noodles away. I believe everyone else in my family was happy with their food- they got rice with their entree. It was also very rainy and there is a mini lake in the parking lot to be aware of. It would be great to offer pickup through the drive thru so we don't have to deal with parking and not being able to back out with a long line of cars waiting.“
