“If there’s one place that’s been a constant in my life, it’s Al’s Big Burger in Albany, CA. For the past 25 years, Al’s has been my go-to spot for the ultimate comfort food experience. From my middle school days to now, nearly turning 40, my affection for Al’s has only grown stronger.Let’s talk about the main event: the bacon cheeseburger. It’s nothing short of perfection. The burger is always cooked to juicy perfection, the bacon crisp, and the cheese melted just right, creating a symphony of flavors that dance in your mouth with every bite. Pairing this with their golden, crispy fries and the unparalleled creamy, dreamy peanut butter shake is the epitome of a classic American meal that can’t be beaten.But it’s not just the food that keeps me coming back year after year—it’s the nostalgia and the consistently warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes Al’s feel like home. Walking into Al’s is like stepping into a time machine, where for a moment, you can relive those carefree days of youth while enjoying a meal that’s as delicious now as it was back then.Over the years, I’ve seen trends come and go, but Al’s Big Burger remains timeless. It’s a testament to the quality of their food and the love they put into each meal. Whether you’re a long-time local or just passing through Albany, Al’s is a must-visit for anyone seeking a taste of burger heaven.Here’s to Al’s Big Burger—may it continue to be a beacon of culinary delight for many more years to come. If you haven’t yet had the pleasure, do yourself a favor and drop by. You might just find yourself writing a glowing review 25 years from now, too.“
“I recently visited Habit Burger for the first time. I ordered through the app and opted to dine-in at the restaurant. The app is well designed and the timing was accurate on when my order was ready to be picked up at the counter.The original Charburger here reminds me of a Whopper at Burger King. I like the inclusion of cheese and pickles, and if you order extra lettuce or tomatoes, they definitely pack that in for you in your burger.The really like the option to have two types of fries in your fries order. I'm not sure I've seen this option anywhere else, especially not at a fast food chain.For the price, I still enjoy In-N-Out more on the burger front, but the fries here are superior in every way.“
“Had a great fried chicken sandwich and grilled beef burger at BOSS on Solano in Albany tonight. Chicken was fried to perfection and more than covered the bun while burger was tasty with special Boss sauce. Hardly a wait. . .10 minutes. . . eat there or take out. . .worth checking out!!“
“The best place we've eaten at in alameda! My mom said her eggplant was crispy and very well seasoned. The burger had bacon mixed it-and you could actually taste the bacon! The foccacia was amazing! Wish it came with a little more bread! Bar tender Mike was the best!“
“My family and I went in for a late breakfast on a Thursday. There was 4 of us who all got breakfast. With two picky kids, it is hard to find something that the whole family can enjoy. We found it! This place has great food and top notch service that has been lost by most restaurants. I would come here over and over again, only if I lived in the area.We came to visit family and found one of the best places on earth.Keep up the great work A+++++++“
“Where has this place been? Nobody (well, most places) knows the struggle of wanting both sweet and savory like they do! If you feel the same, you have to stop by and order the CDMX which has chilaquiles with your choice of meat, a concha french toast with strawberries, and eggs with potatoes- all in one plate. The portion is pretty big and can probably feed two people or one very hungry person. The inside has a homey vibe and is also very clean. Service was super friendly and welcoming.“
“Came across this spot on DoorDash and was not dissapointed. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich and truffle fries and a side of loaded mac n cheese. First of all let me say the portions are HUGE! Secondly, everything was packed with FLAVOR. Definitely will be paying this spot a visit in person.“
“As soon as my husband and I walked in, the owner welcomed us with a warm smile. We both tried the cheeseburger, the fries, the chicken nuggets, and jalapeño poppers. The food was delicious and the service is excellent. We will definitely be back the next time we visit.“
“It’s my first Time in visiting San Francisco and I had a great experience trying the melt for the first time. The food was excellent and the customer service was absolutely fantastic.! Big thanks to employee who helped me with my order her name was Kat ??“
“The food is creative and delicious! Dad and mom work the front of the restaurant and they are absolute gems: attentive, friendly and they make the dining experience special and fun. The food options were tantalizing and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back!The experience would be even better if the interior looked more like earlier photos (less cluttered and more stylish).Vegetarian options: There are some options available.Parking: No dedicated parking, street parking only.“
