“One of the best places for breakfast in downtown Albany! Brick & Mortar offers a wide range of seating and makes you feel as though you're very fancy while still being perfectly affordable! The service is great, the people here really do genuinely care about you getting good food! We opted to sit outside, having this option was wonderful; I loved enjoying the weather while eating my food! The atmosphere was so comfortable, it was a great place to sit and chat with my friends.I got the grilled cheese, it sounds childish but this grilled cheese actually featured 4 different kinds of cheese (Bleu, Swiss, parmesean, and provolone) as well as sliced tomato and basil and was served on sourdough. I also got the clam chowder, and it was phenomenal. I was there with 2 friends, they got the fresh fruit crepe and the smoked salmon crepe. Both said that their meal was delicious. It was great to have both the breakfast and lunch options available at the same time.After the meal I went to the Cafe inside the restaurant and got a lavender lemonade. It was unbelievably refreshing, I highly recommend it on a hot day. The woman at the counter was so kind, I originally wanted a plain lemonade but she insisted I throw some flavor in there and she was very right!!If you're looking for a classy, comfortable, and friendly place for breakfast or lunch definitely consider brick and mortar!“

“We try to eat here once a month. It's probably the only restaurant where we make the effort. The choices for sides is awesome with the breakfasts. If you ask for the biscuit, which almost floats away, there more than happy to put gravy on it. German sausage is great. Omlettes are fluffy. I'm getting hungry writing this. 8-9 you can probably get in without waiting for a table. Parking can be rough when it's busy. A lot of singles eat there. Very friendly people eat at the counter.Parking: About 15-16 spots around the restaurant with parking in the back. Also, they park on the side street, east side“

Calapooia Brewing Brewery • $$
140 NE Hill St, Albany

“A friend and I were at an event and didn't want to eat any more of the food there, so we looked at our other options and I saw this listing. I've heard good things about it, and the fish and chips sounded really good to both of us, so off we went. We enjoyed the fish and chips very much--the fish was nice and crispy on the outside and moist and flaky in the inside without being greasy. Fries were the softer, homemade kind with the skin on, that aren't super crispy but they had a good flavor. The portions weren't huge, but my friend and I both left full. She had some kind of cranberry hard cider and it was pretty good. I had a nice glass of ice tea. The restaurant itself was smallish with hardwood floors and an area with a dart board. It was fairly full, even for mid afternoon. I could see how it might get pretty noisy at night if it got crowded, but they seemed to have a nice covered patio off to the side that would probably be wonderful in warmer weather. Staff was also nice (we were there after lunch, so had to order at the bar, but that was fine).“

“If you have never had a Korean Corn Dog (KCD), this is the place to change that. The last few years have seen an influx of food trucks doing Korean Friend Chicken. Few of those trucks do the dogs but at Clucking Dog you get the best of both these worlds. At first blush, the KCD is a corn dog who has been working out. Bigger than the traditional American State Fair fried food favorite, KCDs are distinct with the core potentially being cheese versus a beef dog. The differences do not stop there. Batters are commonly potato and, a first for me, Ramen!!!. Then there's the outside. My favorite is the brightly hued, orange dusted exterior, perfect for an Oregon State Beaver-lover to wave. This cheeto-dust helps add another snack favorite to the mix. We went with the all cheese, Ramen, and cheetos dusted treat. Our KCD was perfectly done. The crunch of the outside gives way to the warm ooze of the cheese. The temperature was just right allowing the elasticity of the cheese to stretch and give, expanding to a near two foot long tightrope from mouth to bitten dog. This was a tasty dog and was better than the KCDs I have had in Los Angeles. Do not forgot to add KFC to the mix. The chicken (I had the 5 piece) was a perfect balance to the dog. Once more, it was some of the best KFC I have eaten. Crunch or the outside, tender meat on the inside coming easily of the bone, the juices trapped in the crust waiting to be released on your bite. As a savory lover, the garlic breath was the right sauce, soy, sweet, garlic, brushed on to not drown but highlight the crunch and flavor of chicken.“

“Fay's is a small local cafe with a variety of food, and a plethora of beverages to choose from. They also serve alcohol as well. It is a very casual cafe that allows you to order your food at the counter and choose your own seating. The establishment also has a small room if you enjoy playing video lottery. The cafe and restrooms have always been clean during my visits. It is an older cafe, but I enjoy the nostalgia.The employees have been friendly and welcoming when I've visited this cafe. They were patient while we looked over the menu, and helpful with any questions. The food is cooked fresh, and it was delivered to our table promptly and warm. The prices are fair and very reasonable, especially for a freshly cooked hamburger.I recommend trying one of their burgers. The burgers were juicy and seasoned just right. The fries were also great. They are not as crispy as I prefer, but they appeared to be homemade. The portion size is more than enough for myself, but they are a little smaller than some establishments, so I recommend ordering an extra side if you have a hefty appetite. I cannot give an opinion on their specialty beverages as I've only had the fountain drinks.Overall, I would recommend Fay's if you're looking for a local business to support. I'm sure there is something on the menu that you'd find enjoyable.“
