Restaurants in Albany

“Wonderful food! I had halibut and it was amazing. Best food in Albany. Great wait staff!!”

“Our first visit tonight was superb! The whiskey and scotch list is incredible. We decided to have a little morsel of food and the pretzel is delicious! The tomato basil soup was also wonderful. Perfect for a rainy Oregon evening. Thank you Josh and family. We’ll be back!”

“This is by far one of my favorites places in Albany. The food and drinks are spectacular, the environment is delightful but the staff is my favorite part! They are are so wonderful! I look forward to my date nights here!❤”

“We are so happy to have Indian Family Kitchen in Albany. Though we are just introducing ourselves to Indian food we are quite impressed with this restaurant. The service is prompt and always so nice and polite. Everything is clean and orderly. The only difficulty is in choosing what to order as they have a vast selection. We are enjoying trying new dishes and have not been disappointed. The flavors are amazing and each dish has been very well done. You are provided a choice of spice level of mild, medium or spicy. We always go with the medium which is almost on the edge but not quite, a perfect fit for us. Get the garlic naan, delicious!
Indian Family Kitchen comes highly recommended, I encourage you to give it a try.”

“Came down for trivia night and had a great time! Friendly staff, good food, and yummy drinks!”

“great food and drinks! the Cajun shrimp was kickin!”

“Thank you for the delicious pupusas, my family enjoyed them!! I recommend the loroco, jalapeño, and bean pupusas. the fruit drink, what can I say, its delicious!! 100% recommended!”

“While I may not compete in super-hot pepper eating competitions, I do consider myself a spiceophiliac. My man, Todd, HOOKED IT UP with a ghost/reaper butter that has my taste buds dancing for joy! I got the #1 with a side of shrimp and I regret NOTHING. The fixings were on point and should I ever be back thru Albany, Itll be for a stop at the KrackedCrab FOR SURE! He has other not spicy butters for those of you who don't care for a taste bud beat-down so do not hesitate to get your grub on here!”

“I’ve ate at all these places and Seymour’s sandwich is my kriptonite. The Thai food and the Indian place is pretty good too. I usually buy from them too and put it in my freezer.”

“I have tried Acai bowls all around the US and this one is by FAR the BEST!!! I love this food cart! Hands down the best by FAR!!! Thank you for your delicious bowls, bites and Avo toast!!”

“Got them while at the OSU food truck event. Very friendly couple. Very tasty food, favorite part was their white cheese sauce!”

“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!”

“Coming from England and out for our first dinner in 🇺🇸! Delicious food and cocktails… highly recommend”

“One of a kind see you believe . No place like home.The Rock”

“Huge 3 item Johnny’s combo was superb! See you soon”

“Months ago I had asked if they ever planned on putting my favorite dish on their menu , they were unsure but open minded. Well, tonight I stopped by because I saw a bright shiny new food truck in their space and guess what? Their hard work and great food is paying off. They got a bigger food truck and a bigger menu. Including my favorite dish Tom Kha. I order this dish everywhere and I have to say Patty makes it the best.”

“The service and the meal are 5 star in my opinion.”

“Setup for purchase and go. Their cookies are absolutely delicious - but it's quite expensive for what it is, but it's specialty. Just come prepared to spend a little more than expected for some yummy cookies!!”

“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”

“Best Sushi we have had in a long time. The waitress was really friendly, we brought our one year old with us and our waitress gave her a sticker and kept checking in to see if we needed anything. Definitely worth checking out!”

“Delicious! My husband and I were blown away by the taste and freshness of the shawarma, the salad, and the falafel. The falafel was the perfect balance of crispy but still moist inside, I've been saddened by so many dry falafels over the years but these were the best I've had in Albany by far! Can't wait to come back! 🤤 The vinyl igloos were a great touch to the shared outside space too, perfect for the drizzly PNW weather.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of options nearby for pickier eaters.

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible but I doubt a wheelchair would fit in the vinyl igloos.”

“Love love love this place. I stopped on my way back home to Portland and now I will be stopping every time I go to Albany. I get the strawberry, peach, mango smoothie. My nephews got the nerds drink and loved it. Super friendly staff. Love everything about this place.”

“We LOVE them!!!! They love and support the community around them ❤️”

“Our family loves this place. Great boba, friendly staff, and a chill atmosphere. Their popcorn chicken is a delicious bonus too!”

“My review Good pizza, but the staff let some old bag kick my kids out of their seats while I was in the restroom and we were getting ready to order. Miscommunication is what they called it, the cashier said we could basically sit anywhere, it wasn't true that had absolute assigned seats, but this old bag asked for that table, and took it upon herself to selfishly take the table away from two little girls waiting for their parents to order and in my case, get back from the restroom. In my opinion, staff should have been much more attentive to the situation, and never allowed this old bag to approach someone else's children, much less let her take the table from them, and there was one employee involved that apparently did nothing. She briefly talked to this old bag, asking about the table, and went back to working while allowing this old twit to weasel her way into taking a table away from two little girls who didn't know any better. I called her out on it once seated, and her explanation was she asked for that table...a true piece of crap, so much for honor and dignity, stealing a table from two little girls waiting for their parents. I truly hope staff pays more attention to this in the future.”

“food was great servers was very nice keep up the great work”

“Love this place! My wife and I come by several times a month. Love John and Jennifer as well, such a sweet couple that make AMAZING BBQ. Highly recommend.”

“really good food! can't wait to go back. this was our 1st visit- they know what they're doing 💜”

“Good home cooking. We come here every Sunday”

“The food was amazing, especially the Verde Mac🤤. Too bad I was only stopping by. Maybe one day I'll be able to have it again. 5 Stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Wow. Not only were the portions huge, the food was incredibly delicious and fresh. But the sweet owner was very much nurturing and kept giving us samples and offering alterations to food. Will definitely go back!!”

“Best food and friendly staff!”

“They always have the best vibe”

“good food and more go enjoy.”

“Nick and his staff are amazing. We’ve eaten here twice now. First time just me and the hubby. Second time with our grown kids. We have loved everything we’ve eaten.”

“We love going here. Great service. Super friendly staff. They do amazing with big groups. We have dinner here more than we care to admit”

“Megan was an awesome server! We were working on our vow renewal ceremony and she asked us about it. She saw how excited we were and made it more special by bringing us this wonderful chocolate cake. We love the family atmosphere here. Thank you Megan!”

“The lunch panini was amazing. The staff is always cheerful and smiling 😊”

“Heather and her Pacific Perks mobile coffee, Italian soda, and sundae bar were the absolute hit of the Albany Chamber of Commerce Greeters event I attended! Not only were the drinks delicious and refreshing, but Heather's friendly service and vibrant energy really added to the atmosphere. All the guests were raving about the unique experience. I'll definitely be booking Pacific Perks for my next big event!”

“Great food. High prices. And closed yesterday 12/5 at 3 in the afternoon out of nowhere. We planned on spending 50 bucks..that would have paid staff to cover that random lunch break at 3-4pm.”

“The chocolate peanut butter cupcake was probably the best thing I’ve ever tasted…ever. So good! And the customer service was incredible! I will definitely be coming back!”

“OMG, it was all delicious. I tried everything me and my friends had and it was so good.
We had finger steaks and mozzarella cheese sticks for appetizers. Main dishes were, chicken Fettachini, tri-tip steak sandwich, chicken fried steak and island sandwich. I had a taste of each and they rocked!”

“It was very nice and comfortable!”

“Even as an Anglo senior dining alone I have never felt unwelcome or uneasy here. A microcosm of America at its best. Economical, conscientiously prepared ethnic cuisine, the staff obviously from good families, welcoming to all. The bar of homemade salsas deserves study to get the most out of this cuisine. My gold standard for fast Mexican food.”

“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.”

“Best of best. I am a new immigrant from Turkey. I am a huge coffee person. I have never tasted a better coffee and experienced a better place than this in America.”

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

“If you're looking you're looking for delicious coffee and amazing customer service look no further. As a traveling salesman, I must start my day off right. Every morning I visit these ladies, always greeted with a smile and great conversation. Most importantly, the coffee is the best in town. The only complaint I have is that I'm on the road too much to get something to eat or drink in the afternoon.”

“I love this spot! Best tasting coffees and a variety of sugar free options/dairy alternatives. I have so many favorites here but some I enjoy are the German chocolate latte, the macadamia chocolate, and I will sometimes do a maple butter pecan! Anything you order here will taste good and the ladies that work here are wonderful!”

“Everything has been great 👍”

“Excellent customer service and products! We have gotten linguica from here and loved it! Also don’t forget to grab an omelette and potatoes with gravy!”

“Very clean establishment great food”

“Went for the first time yesterday, great bacon burger, fries and shake. A good value, the food hot and fresh!”

“pedí alitas plain (sin empanado), no tenían sabor, el cuerito mongo, sin tostar y no estaban completamente cocinadas. San Germán, PR”

“Clean lobby, friendly employee, received on time as ordered.

Dietary restrictions: offers Gluten Free Crust only in Medium size, has dairy free, and keto option.

Parking: at store, multiple spots.”

“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.”

“We love the Lariat Lounge!!!!”

“The nitro cold brew is good.”

“Steven was excellent at communicating! Staff was friendly and it was a wonderful treat to have them come to our event”

“Great little food truck we discovered tonight across the parking lot from our hotel. The service was outstanding and the food very tasty! We definitely recommend them. Mahalo for making my boyfriends meal accustomed to his liking, he definitely enjoyed it throughly!”

“We love this place they have the best food and people that you could ask for, we never go anywhere else.”

“I definitely recommend! They came to our event with their mobile grilled cheese machine and handed out free grilled cheese to everyone! It was so good. They’ve dropped off coupons several times at our shop for our customers. They are amazing and we appreciate them.”

“Absolutely sets your taste buds singing! Thank you so much. I will be back with all those Gluten Free Options!”

“The family restaurant is a hard sell in North Albany anymore, I think. Mexico Lindo bravely soldiers on, but the location is just tough. I really hope they survive. The food is good enough to make it. My daughters liked the burritos, and I had the carnitas.”

“Our favorite taphouse around! Always a great selection of all types of beers either on tap or in the cooler. We love grabbing food nearby and hanging out for a couple beers.”

“I always like to order something simple like an iced americano with cream when trying new coffee shops so I can really experience the quality and flavor of their coffee grind - and Mill Town absolutely did not disappoint! Coffee tastes great (and is reasonably priced) and the service was quick and kind as well. Definitely plan to stop by again when I’m in the area!”

“The Best burger I have had all year!”

“Been there for almost 40 years (maybe even longer). Remember going there on a cold Christmas Eve for soft serve ice cream as a young child in the 80s. Fast forward to 2024, the food and ice cream are still delicious as it was in the 80s
Ordered the King Kong burger - all I can is yummy!!
A must visit if you want good burgers and soft serve ice cream. A favorite of the locals. Drive thru was busy the entire time I was there. Note it's cash only!”

“Not a whole lot of seating. That was the first noticed, food is good just the atmosphere is kinda lacking. Pasole was good birria tacos my boyfriend said were kinda bland. I’m unsure if they just didn’t make it spicy or they didn’t season a lot. Nice little hole in the wall for a few good things. They also sell ice cream”

“Everything was great and fresh. Love the new look so open and lovely.”

“Absolutely love the garage! Jessi and Ellie are such amazing bartenders - always smiling and remember the little details (like my drink order). They have great food, beer/cider selection, and fun events every week. I am so happy Albany has such a great local watering hole like this place!”

“Clean environment, super friendly and quick service, only place in Albany with quality menudo, and the micheladas are on point 🍻”

“I had the most perfectly layered Caramel Macchiato made by Angel at A1 this morning. So good it was picture worthy! Thanks Angel! You Rock!”

“Real Mexican food at fast food speed, very big portions for the money. I recommend putting the "red" hot sauce on literally everything ever.

Kid-friendliness: They're very accommodating with special orders and patient with kids ordering too!”

“I have been a fan - long time customer (17-years) of Depot. Great food !!! Love the new food adds !! It has always been good food and the very best staff. There was an ownership change, about a year ago, the new owners have carried on the tradition of the eclectic decor which is fun, and the preexisting staff is fabulous. Staff remains consistent after new ownership (good sign) and the new staffers are a great add! It is clear that business has picked up the because we are seeing wait lines again, which we have not seen for about 4-years and new staff members have been added frequently this entire year. Sign of happy customers and employees. It is clear that additional staff members are needed, good employees are hard to find in today’s environment of finding GOOD employees- so hard to find in todays world. One needs to remember this when criticizing not having wait staff checkin on them… We are consistent weekly customers for 17-years, have seen many improvements this past year. We highly recommend Depot Cafe ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Same as homemade food, great service & generous. No places like that in city

Vegetarian options: They will whip up almost anything & how you desire food from menu. Very accommodating”

“It's a great little place and the waitress was amazing...”

“Favorite place for coffee”

“Just to mention, when I go to Aguila, I receive an excellent welcome with a good morning, good afternoon or good night, and the same when I leave, a see you later with a smile from side to side, so I even want to come back, congratulations The owners do a very good job.”

“Excellent ice cream! We’ve been to both locations, here in Albany and in Sisters.”

“Nice staff. Fast service. Delicious beverages.”

“Picked up 4 meals from the truck at North Fork Station tonight. Generous portions of Delicious Shoyu Chicken and Kalua Pork! Everyone enjoyed thier dinner thank you Brent!”

“Great wood-fired pizza at an affordable price! I ordered my pizza from the food truck which is currently at Tallman Brewery in Lebanon. There was a slight wait due them being busy on a Friday night, so I drove home then came back. When I arrived back at the food truck I parked near the curb right outside the fence their truck was behind, they saw me and a very nice lady brought the pizza to my car! Curbside service!

Great cook on the pizza (as you can see!) not toocrispy, not too doughy. The dough had a great chew to it, so if you’re into that kind of pizza crust then you’ll love this. I got the spicy sausage and it was really good. Good flavor all around, very well balanced. Check them out when you can!”

“This Jamba Juice just opened and they are very friendly and it's very clean and aesthetics inside they did a very good job at making my drinks and were very fast and it was really delicious! 10/10 recommend!”

“Thank you for staying open during all that has turned the year 2020 into! I appreciate the staff for always being positive and helpful.”

“The girls with their smiles and lite chit- chat make drive through a bright spot in the day. Thank you for your great attitudes and attention to details. Luv those breakfast sandwiches ?
Oh ya ? the Coffee! It's better than starducks and thebro's down the street.. just sayin ?”

“great place to go and enjoy”

“Everyone is always so friendly and they treat my puppy well”

“Shhhhhh … keep this place secret between you and your friends and visit often. The ramen broth is an Unami bomb. Great food, clean dining room, friendly servers.”

“We always have a great time at Los Dos! The staff is always friendly and the food is always great!”

“I loved it here! Taylor was super fun, a great cook, and very fun to talk to. I felt a part of a community here. I've never been in a bar where I felt a part of the conversation. Everyone was super friendly.

They have karaoke on Fridays and Saturdays and I will definitely be attending.

The bar food was some of the best I have ever had. Those wings were heavenly. We got some mozzarella sticks with it and they were great too. She allowed us to sub those in and make half the order buffalo sauce and the other half BBQ sauce.

She made some killer margaritas and huckleberry vodkas!”

“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.”

“Second day opened and did not disappoint. Hailing from northern California, they are bringing the taco experience I missed moving from southern California to Albany. Great food from a genuinely happy individual proud to be feeding others some really delicious tacos. Will be back to try other menu items.”

“on point off the hook quite the place reside if my name is not. "MyCo frameHis" ,"Michael franceEGo Mikeyfranchise $michael franceeyes$. multitaskited talented faceted tried true and tested you have been around I don't run anymore I'm a Christian I walk with the Lord and oh good lord that place was hot cuz I cuz I cuz I grew up nephew”

“I recommend the Starbucks at 940 Pacific Blvd in Albany Oregon! They have a great staff and great management! fast, friendly service.”

“I like to treat myself to something from Starbucks when I make the drive in to Albany from Corvallis to get prescriptions at the CVS in this Target. Every time I have done so, I have been pleased with the friendly service. Sometimes they seem a bit understaffed for the level of busyness, but they have always apologized if wait seemed long and are efficient and attentive when it is my turn to order. I have always received the exact drink I ordered (I do have a more complicated order!) Actually, every employee I have interacted with at this Target, no matter the setting (pharmacy, checkout, Starbucks, etc.) is friendly.”

“I'm not sure if Allan's on campus has another FB page or if this encompasses all locations. All the baristas there are rockstars. They all have a great attitude despite being the only one there and slammed. my main point: a single shallow puck of cream cheese does not sufficiently cover two halves of a bagel. It's skimpy as hell.”

“Ordered there carrot cake and a couple different sandwiches from them and everything is fantastic..

This time I got their tuna melt and it is fantastic ? ?”

“Came in in my ouch break.. food was delicious . They were very friendly and fast service . I got the chicken with noodles and it was exactly what I wanted!!! Only thing I wish they had was teriyaki sauce. I didn’t care for the sauce they gave me. But really it didn’t need any sauce.. I’m just a saucy lady!?

I will be going back .”

“I love this place! Been going since they opened. Most.of my orders have been burritos admittedly, but it's one of my favorite burritos.The carne asada and pastor are my favorite proteins. The red and green sauce pack respective spice levels with great flavor. They cook everything fresh and the difference is noticeable.My one small gripe is that they don't include pico (or onions and cilantro would be cool) in their burritos. I think you can pay extra, but I always forget that it's not included lol.I'll keep coming back!”

“I always love my food from momiji!”

“Always friendly service and very clean. Great place to meet up with friends and the coffee is perfect every time.”

“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.”

“Absolutely delicious, amazing service, sweet people. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a savory, nutritious, healthy meal. They also love first responders and military personnel. God bless them!”

“There was no prompt for Authenticate Hawaiian food. I was at their location off of I5 and Airport road. Purchased food for the family. I ordered Katsu Loco, The Three meat plate with Katsu chicken, Kalua pork and the Beef ribs, and an individual Kalua pork meal. I rate a Hawaiian restaurant or food cart on its Musubi! I ordered one to have while waiting for meals to be prepared, it was fabulous. So fabulous I bought more for my son and daughter-in-law. They also agreed on the Musubi being amazing. Overall we all loved everything purchased. Very well made requiring no additional seasoning. The Mac salad was not how my son likes it. So my daughter-in-law will have it later, she loved it. The eggs on the Katsu Moco were a little overdone, but that may have happened on my 20 min drive home. Everything in my three meat plate was incredible, the Katsu sauce is perfect. The teriyaki sauce is also one of the best I've had anywhere. Overall super impressed! Best and most authentic Hawaiian food I've had in Oregon. This comes from my wife having lived in Hawaii for 10 years when she was younger.”

“Best Indian food we’ve had in a long time. Phenomenal flavors and everything perfectly cooked! The tikka masala was creamy and delicious. Highly recommend this place!”

“I've been coming here for years. I now live in Salem but come to Albany often and order my favorite dish as often as I can while there. (Christians Special). Staff have always been great. Service has always been great. I have so many memories of meals here with loved ones.”

“best pizza in the area! 😋😋”

“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!”

“Fast, fresh,good. Welled trainidad crew.

Parking: Inside Loves truck stop.
Which is the most expensive cheap crap I had ever seen. Example true story this is 15.99$ they charge for 4 pcs of 3/8" nothing special about them hose clamps.
Plenty of other examples there.

Kid-friendliness: Ok

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”

“their food is cozy homestyle American food. had liver and onions tonight. this place is the best restaurant around. you are now #1. see ya next weekend”

“Creed was our server and he was awesome! Went in a Thursday night so was nice and slow. The kitchen was able to service my requests and made an amazing pasta dish. All in all a good experience.”

“Skip the pad thai. Too much sauce that’s really sweet and no peanuts. Not a traditional pad thai. Service was great. And the tofu was good. And the Barn is a great spot!”

“I really enjoy the atmosphere! The food is great and their gluten free options are flavorful! The service is always timely and professional. Keep up the great work!!”

“Always delicious and the family that owns it is wonderful! Highly recommend the Crab Rangoons, Mongolian Beef, Orange Chicken, Cashew Chicken and fried rice!”

“It's an A&W. Exactly what I expected food-wise. Fast, reasonable prices, decent food. There's also a sit-down area with booths if you want a break from driving.

What prompted me to leave the review was the staff. The guy working as the cashier was working like it was a sales job - great attitude, great service. I think he was the manager?”

“I worked in Albany today and swung by there on my lunch break. Nikki was the bartender she was amazing, friendly, and very nice to talk to. I didn’t have time to eat there but the food she made for a customer looked amazing!!! I’ll be back for sure when I’m ever in town!”

“it's very good food the service is very good”

“Good food, To go”

“I have worked with the owner 3 different times and she really does care about the customer service and quality of the food. The clam chowder is A1 good shit 4r”

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

“The only fast food restaurant I go to for burgers and seasonal favorites like sweet chili cauliflower. I know the burgers I order have the best beef and raised in Oregon too.

Dietary restrictions: Lettuce wrap is available instead of the bun.”

“Too many gay dudes cooking my burgers then going home afterwork and doing each other while they tell their wives they are at home. Oh and they have herpes”
