    Large curly fry
    J M.

    Really fast service. No drive through. I've never had a mistake on an order, however this was my large fry...

    A++ Arby's in Colonie near Albany, NY
    Christian L.

    Arby's in Albany's Colonie is fantastic! The staff welcomes diners. People all around - no matter how they look, or what they are celebrating, or order, either young or old - get along perfectly. It was an awesome Arby's dining experience. I even went out on a limb and ordered a new item I had never eaten: the French dip and a Coke. There was no wait time. This Arby's was spotless, parking was a breeze, staff the BEST! Delicious fast sandwich that actually looked like the picture. Review: 5

    This is what their beef "gyro" looks like.
    Bill Z.

    I hadn't visited this Arby's since my pre-Yelp days. It used to be my go-to spot for a quick meal along Wolf Road. That was because (a) I was an Entertainment Book junkie and they always had a lot of BOGO coupons, and (b) theoretically their roast beef was more of a known quantity than what wasn't always 100% beef in other chains' burgers. I've had a love/hate relationship with Arby's. I've never forgiven them for dropping regular fries (I get indigestion from their curly fries), but I've also appreciated their attempts to come out with new menu items. So replace "Entertainment Book" with "Clipper Magazine," and offer a discount for their new "gyros," and I decided it was time for a visit. The store is very clean and the staff are friendly and courteous. During lunch, they had one employee doing nothing but greeting people and cleaning. The only blemish I saw to the decor was a huge rip in the other seat of the booth at which I sat. They actually have a reasonably priced small fountain drink too. This new "gyro" is okay, if you understand that it's about as Greek as I am. It uses slices of their roast beef in a soft pita with some lettuce, 2 slices of tomato, 2 rings (as opposed to slices) of red onion, and some sauce. The turkey gyro is similar except they use slices of turkey and don't heat the slices. My bigger issue is with their side salad. For $2.19, you got maybe a cup of shredded lettuce, a half-dozen chunks of chopped tomato, and some shredded American cheese. I probably could have poured it all into the packet of salad dressing once I emptied that onto the salad. It barely half-filled the bowl. While it's a sturdy plastic bowl good for take-out, it would clearly be recyclable - apologies if I didn't see a recycle bin, but it seems a waste to throw these into the trash. I wish they could do better. My "word salad" here is bigger than the side salad I got. I'm not surprised that it was very busy here for lunch. A meal here is still cheaper than what you can get at the gourmet burger places, and it's still just as good.

    I visit this Arby's (no drive-thru) because it's not in the mall. Other people have the same idea too! When there's a long line (lunch hours or weekends) almost to the front entrance, it may take a while to place your order and get your food. Once at the counter, I usually get a Regular Roast Beef Sandwich (with Horsey Sauce) or a Beef 'n Cheddar Sandwich, Potato Cakes, a large Jamocha Shake, and a Cherry Turnover for the road. The sandwiches are on the salty side and the shake complements the meal. THIS LOCATION IS NOW OPEN ON SUNDAYS!

    Try the Beef Brisket BBQ, Loaded Curly Fries, and a Creamsicle Shake. It's worth the slow service to try when you feel you need comfort!

    Meat & Company first and foremost takes me back to the Yelp Elite event which was so memorable for…read moreso many reasons. Yes, the food was delicious and plentiful, but connecting with Yelpers was one of the biggest highlights of that event. So, I know it's taken us long enough to come back but it was truly better late than never because they did not disappoint. It was within an hour of closing but the place was buzzing both with folks dining in and a constant stream of orders from online and in store. We settled on their brisket sando and three sides - pit beans, mac & cheese, potato salad. The brisket was tender and juicy, potato salad wholesome and egg-y, pit beans sweet and spicy, and m&c mac & cheesy. While they don't have French fries, they have homemade kettle chips which I'm generally not enthused about but the ones here had a softer finish and I rather enjoyed them. Oh, and an honourable mention is due to the comfy chairs which are extremely hard to come by in restaurants. One minor (but non-negligible) gripe was the rather long wait before we could place our orders because the staff right in front of us insisted on packing a big online order AND serving the folks picking them up drinks before we could put our orders in. I personally would have taken the order of someone in line especially since there was no one behind us, so that the kitchen staff can start filling our orders while the staff at the register can return to finishing packing the pickup order. We'll go back. It's cool to see a local family business going strong after two years, and I feel like whoever is behind the venture managed to create something extra ordinary.

    My wife brought me here as a surprise night out, and we had a good time…read more The Good: - very tasty barbecue that they cook/smoke/roast on site. I had the brisket, the pulled pork, the baked beans, and the mac & cheese. The brisket was perfect and served with sauce on the side. Lots of great spices, tons of flavorful smoke, not too mushy, not too fatty. - The beans were phenomenal with tons of flavorful pork bits inside. I wish I could make them that good at home, but I don't access to the BBQ scraps that they have. The mac and cheese was dense and creamy, and the pasta was not at all overcooked. I really appreciated this. The Bad: - seating is limited, and it is quite likely during a busy time you will get your food before a table is open. Why do they limit the number of tables they have when there is space for more? That doesn't make sense. - the pulled pork was just meh. It tasted flat, the texture was pure mush, and the color was a bit odd. Frankly, I make it better at home. This reminded me of crockpot pulled pork with a bit more smoke flavor. It too was served sauce on the side. - when our food was served it was covered with complimentary red pickled onions. Yuck! Apparently they sometimes ask in advance but they might forget when busy. Thankfully, since they didn't ask and made the wrong assumption they were willing to remake my plate without onions. - no cheap drinks. No cheap anything really. Imported soda, exotic Fiji brand water, etc. Their prices are very high for some things. They make great food, but you might get hit with $25/person or more before the smoke settles. Was it worth it? For some stuff yes, and for other things no. We had a good time, and I know better what to focus my order on in the future. But to go at dinner time when there might not be a table to enjoy your food is a real bummer.
