Today, walked in and a server looked at us from behind the counter and continued talking to someone across the restaurant. Another 2 minutes before she told us to seat ourselves. We found a booth and someone brought us menus. My husband got up and went to the restroom. During that time no one came to the table with water, asking about coffee, nothing. My husband came back and said "Let's go." While he was walking to the restroom, the staff was giving him disrespectful looks. As I watched this happen, I had already decided we weren't going to give our money to this place. If you like biker bars, "good ol' boys" atmosphere, this is probably a place you will like. If you have any color to your skin (my husband is very light skinned Puerto Rican- I'm white and darker than him) I would steer clear. Sweetwaters, right down the road is friendlier, quicker and brighter.

Not sure why this place has a lower rating.... it's delightful!!…read more we started with the peach cobbler pancakes for the table which had perfectly crunchy edges and were so flavorful and tasty!! just the right amount of sweet! i defaulted to me standard of shrimp and grits (cheesy grits to be precise...... WITH bacon?? yes please!!) my son ordered the mints cristo (which he loved!) and my boy ordered chicken friend steak. (the gravy was super flavorful, but the "steak" was processed and definitely not made in house) Potatoes were crispy and eggs cooked well. but the really star of Jojo mac's (for breakfast, anyway) are the cinnamon rolls we brought home!! potentially one of the best rolls i've ever had!! superb, in fact!! all sticky, cinnamon-y thumbs up on this one!!

Absolutely worth going out of your way for!…read more I stumbled across Pepper Tree Sausage House by complete accident during an early morning work trip, and let me tell you, what a happy accident that turned out to be! Now, every time I'm heading north for work, I deliberately route myself through Albany just to stop at Pepper Tree and grab one of their breakfast burritos. I don't care if it adds time to my drive or even makes me a little late to a project. They're THAT darn good! Today was an especially cool experience. One of the employees had called in sick, and there was the owner himself, behind the counter, rolling up his sleeves and keeping things running. I have a ton of respect for an owner who isn't afraid to jump in, do the work, and take care of his customers. That's exactly the kind of local business I love supporting. Incredible food, genuine people, and an owner who clearly cares about what he's built. If you're anywhere near Albany, do yourself a favor and stop by Pepper Tree Sausage House. Heck, even if you're not nearby, make the detour! Grab a breakfast burrito, support a fantastic local business, and thank me later. I'll keep coming back as long as they're making them!

I went back to Pepper Tree to replenish my meats and picked up some Cajun Rude spicy sausage. The…read moreowner warned me that it was a spicy sausage, so I cooked up 1 link to try it. I have eaten 1 sausage a day since! I like what I consider spicy, but no scorching foods, fresh jalapeños on my burgers, and Latin foods. These have the right amount of heat and are very tasty. I may have to go back next week to resupply.

The steak and eggs were absolutely amazing--the steak was cooked perfectly, tender and juicy, and the eggs were done just right, making it a standout dish. The drink selection was just as impressive, especially the classic lavender mimosa and cranberry-peach mimosa. Both were refreshing, balanced, and paired perfectly with the meal without being overly sweet. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere felt welcoming and comfortable, making it a great place for brunch or a casual upscale meal. Overall, the combination of quality food, well-made drinks, and solid service makes this a spot worth coming back to."

Thought it could be crispy but more of a stretchy soft bread texture. It would be much better with fresh strawberries. Too much syrup and way too sweet with the marinated strawberries. It's not bad just not as good as I wish it could be The stuffed hash browns has lots of content but again the flavor isn't much there Potato cake is pretty interesting texture: a mix of hash browns and pancakes Biscuits is pretty crispy as well Price is a bit high for the place, looks more like an old style Denny's Staff are nice

I thought I was here for a quick stop-over between work meetings downtown Albany, but a quick email check turned into a "hey maybe I should use their WiFi" and unexpectedly and quite fortuitously for me turned into a gift of two and a half hours all to myself of people-watching. My travel companion told a couple next to us that they looked really cute and they shared that it's the love that's found towards the greater age in life that's more carefree. An environmental specialist who was sitting next to me and generously passed on the Wi-Fi password (it was all lowercase just as she remembered but had a couple extra words after the key one) is now a LinkedIn connection.

First we arrived 20-30min prior to our reservation. The lady at the front was sooo friendly I was taken back! We asked if we could sit at the bar and get a drink. Of course she said yes. The bar is super cute and I love the hours off-set the restaurant hours so you can enjoy drinks prior to and after dinner. The bar tender was super friendly and you can see he enjoyed his job. The drinks were really good! Our friendly greater came to get us promptly when our table was ready. The table was ready with fresh baked bread and butter. Our waiter was Jessie; what a gem! He was so friendly and helped us with the menu and gave excellent recommendations. We started off with the bar fries (Jessie's recommendation) wow! They were amazing not super heavy and a perfect starter. I had the special which was a NY steak, with Hatch Chili polenta. My steak was perfection and the polenta was delicious. I loved the gravy as well. Superb blend of flavors. We ended the night with the flourless chocolate cake and espresso martini. Fabulous food and honestly some of the friendliest staff I have ever encountered.
