The owner that runs this little cafe is super down to earth and overall has good vibes about him and that shows in the food he makes. This is a hidden gem and I’m so happy I found it it’s one of my favorite places to go for lunch. Bro I hope you see this because that Cubano was fire my guy. You’re killin it.

A wonderful experience. I had been given gifts cards to pay for it while I was out, they wouldn’t work. So the wonderful woman working decided to pay for our meal. Later on we called them and paid for it over the phone. Very thoughtful and the food was delicious. I had the Cuban, and my client (im a caregiver.) got a steak sub. It was absolutely immaculate, 100/10. Eat here!!!

The food is absolutely fantastic. My son got the buffalo chicken sub, I got the steak bomb sub, and we got a crispy chicken bacon salad to share. The prices are great, the sub sizes were large, the flavor of all 3 things was absolutely immaculate.

I stopped here with friends and we ordered three different sandwiches, all of which were very good and generous considering the prices. The owner was very friendly and attentive and definitely takes pride in the food he serves. I would definitely stop in again next time I'm in Albany.Just a note - the directory in the courthouse does not list Mad Platter Cafe, it says something like "Courthouse Cafe" but it is the correct location!

First time at The Mad Platter Cafe for both myself and my long time friend. I had the Cuban and she had the Reuben with tots. Both were very yummy and the tots were cooked to perfection, not over or under done. Good prices too! We will be back to bring our husbands!

The food was just ok - a little greasy and salty, but perfectly good if that's what you're looking for. Most people get burgers, hot dogs, and fried food. I got a Steak Bomb and I would have preferred more complex flavors than just meat and cheese.

Fabulous sandwich, like a homemade one but with stuff and made the way you don’t have/can’t make at home. Waffle fries were quite good and the pizza I brought home for dinner was fantastic as well. Owner is really friendly, vibe of the place is great and it’s defo worth navigating City Hall to find it downstairs (bottom floor!). Looking forward to my next trip to try a new sando!

Everything we have tried here is amazing, best sandwiches in town. Breakfast burrito is amazing as well.
