I feel like a special trip to Albany just to return to this restaurant. All food was flavorful and delicious and fresh. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Prices were affordable. I had ordered chicken and dumpling soup, collard greens (smoked turkey, spicy), Mac 'n' cheese, home fries, meatloaf (with red sauce), sweet potato pie.

Trucker family! Spent $23 and got so much food I regretted it.. straight man vs food vibe... it was refreshing to be out on the road, receive a delicious meal, and not feel like I over paid for bread crumbs . I never come up here for deliveries, but from this day forward I'll be jealous of those who do. Took pictures of what I absolutely couldn't get down the hatch lol I tapped out

Staff is awesome. The food is like going to gramdmas for dinner. We keep going back and getting something different, and it gets better every time. If it's busy, just wait you shouldn't be disappointed. If you are then just go to KFC
