I love Bad Albert’s! It’s such a great spot at the south end of Ballard Ave. Great food, great service and super relaxed. The result is a place where you always feel welcome. Corey, the General Manager believes in great service based on years of hospitality service, Juan, the Chef creates food on a whole new level. And I guess it all adds up to an incredible experience. My wife and I go there with our kids for brunch on weekends and the only issue we have is choosing what to have because it’s all so dang good. The Ballard Ave Cheesesteak with a side of Aujus is a total home run. But last week I had the Chicken fried steak breakfast with two fried eggs and it was the best meal I’ve had in a very long time, so I decided to go back today and try it again, normally I wouldn’t do this because, typically I would be disappointed on the second go, but today, somehow, it was even better than the first time.
I know I’m going on, but if you haven’t been to Bad Albert’s, do yourself a favor, head in for some amazing food, Great service, and a 100% Ballad experience.
PS. Great Bloody Mary’s too!

BEST EVENING EVER!!!! It may have started bad then worse before this place SAVED the night. After being rejected at one pub, I told my partner I found another place. We looked at the menu and my partner excitedly said 'They have fish and chips!' After we sat down, the bartender greeted us with menus to look at while he went to attend the other customers. He came back after 5 minutes to take our orders and within 15 minutes our orders arrived hot and fresh. Best special burger I've had! No Best mac and cheese EVER!!! The bartender returned asking how is everything? 'FANTASTIC' This bartender checked on EVERYONE not just us. It wasn't too busy just a few customers. Great service for a bartender alone on a slow Tuesday night.

Best place for a karaoke night! We have gone a few times now and the atmosphere never disappoints. I'd recommend going on a Friday or Saturday night.

Always a good time at Bad Albert’s! I get great service and have a great time each time I go. Tuesdays are my favorite….trivia night and some good drinks and food will never go wrong!

My favorite menu items are the wonton tacos and Dock Street Burger combo! But everything is tasty and has good portions

Food was mid I had fish tacos. The tortillas were overcooked and the fish was hella spicy - I love spicy food - I wanna sweat if I order spicy but didn’t see it coming on the tacos topped with what tasted like tartar sauce. The description says spicy slaw but I assure you the fish was spiced not the slaw. I witnessed the cook wiping his nose with his shirt and not changing gloves in an open kitchen. service was also mid - much more interaction was given to the local bar fly homies than random people who came in. Nice selection of local beers on tap and a decent bottle list too. My first drink was a margarita- honestly the worst margarita I’ve ever had. I did enjoy the shipwreck IPA. I had to go to the bar to cash out because the servers were engrossed with the homies - didn’t feel welcome or appreciated. Don’t need a red carpet but do expect better service as someone who also serves for a living.
