Did trucks lining the outside seating area of The Barn.
Chris S.

This facility offers the opportunity for food truck operators and patrons to come together in a location with good seating, covered, and interior spaces, and heat for the cooler months. All drinks are served by the Barn itself, while food is provided by the trucks surrounding the shelter and courtyard. They have a good selection of beer, cider, wines, and soft drinks. In addition to interior seating, there is covered outside seating with heaters and tables, and outside benches and tables.

Love the concept: Good size venue with a healthy variety of adult beverages available on tap, along with a solid selection of food carts / stalls as well. While I didn't try the food this time, since nothing caught my eye, grabbing a bite and hanging out here seems like fun. Three of the stalls were shut down early even though the hours clearly they said open till 7:00 PM...felt a bit disappointing. There is a small room in the corner if you feel like giving your money to the house...aka slot machines. The inside was very spacious and the bathrooms were immaculate. The outside patio is also dog friendly. Check it out if you are in the area...

A nice place to grab some food and drink then relax for a bit. There are several food trucks offering a variety of foods - Venezuelan, Thai, Indian, Greek, Mexican Sushi, Kento Hibachi. Hawaiian and others. I tried Big Sisters Thai Kitchen. The food and service was good. I tried the drunken noodles, a bit oily, but not bad.

We were vacationing from out of state and glad we found this cool place. Clean spot and lots of choices of types of food to order. Front end is where you order your alcohol and non-alcohol drinks. Had a totally laid back feel. The were different indoor and outdoor seating options. Only wish we showed up sooner as place was starting to close up when we arrived in the evening. We had limited options having showed up late. We ended up getting Thai food and it was amazing! Ordered the Pad Thai, Thai fried rice, and pumpkin curry.

We went down to Corvallis to have lunch with our son - he goes to OSU. He kept telling us about this food cart place in Albany so we headed over there. I have to say it was very good. Lots of choices and good seating - indoor and out. Good beers and wines too. I can't remember the truck names, but the Korean wings were great, the Indian truck was good and the seafood and Gyro trucks were also good. I'd go back. It was a good experience. A little expensive but food was good enough - I give a three to good places. I reserve 4s for knocking socks off and 5s for otherworldly experiences.

Great place to take the family and pups, although your rover should be well behaved, as the seating is tight. Don't forget to park in the back on the gravel! Lots of space for trucks. Great selection of local brews, Eats and ciders!

Hibachi chicken!

I think I'm over this place. A lot of the trucks only have 1 person to take orders and prepare food so wait times are really long.

There are plenty of things I was noticing as I looked at the same area of the restaurant again and again. Lots of interesting touches that made it more pub/homey (if that makes any sense). It's definitely a smaller restaurant so come during off hours or I think they might allow for reservations. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. A bit of a limited menu but not putting that against them, as long as the food is good it doesn't matter. Got the pickled eggs and pretzel for the appetizer. The pretzel was standard but the sweet mustard sauce was amazing. Pickled eggs were different but it was the first time I tried them and I'm glad that I did. Give them a try. For mains got the shepherd's pie, sausage and mash, and the firehouse chili. Would recommend the shepherd's pie, the firehouse chili was not my personal favorite sort of chili but it does seem like other reviews liked it, so give it a shot and form your own opinion. I liked the sausage but the mash not so much, more grainy than smooth. If you take nothing else from my review, get the sticky toffee pudding. Very indulgent especially after a heavy meal but it was quickly polished off. Overall, decent food with some gems. Definitely a lot of character to it, and unique for the area.

Loafers Station…read more Sometimes you walk into a restaurant expecting dinner and end up getting dinner, entertainment, and a waitress who apparently missed her calling as a comedian. Loafers Station was packed when we showed up, but somehow we carved out a little section with a view and settled in. The ambiance was great, the beer was good, and the place had that busy energy that makes you feel like you picked the right spot. Our waitress was hilarious. She did a couple of things that were so ridiculous we couldn't help but laugh. I'm not even sure if she was trying to be funny, which honestly made it even funnier. Free entertainment with your meal? I'll take it. The food was solid. I had the steak salad and the steak bites, and both were on point. The hamburger and fries were also a hit. The mac was just okay, but hey, not everything can be the star of the show. The best part was getting to hang out with my daughter, son in law , and grandson. Good food, cold beer, plenty of laughs, and a packed restaurant that still somehow worked for us. For Albany, Loafers Station is definitely one of the places that belongs on the list when you're looking for a good meal and a fun atmosphere. I travel, I taste, I talk. And occasionally I eat steak salad while watching a waitress create her own comedy special.

I asked if they needed my name and was told by the hostess "no." I thought it was a little weird, but went with it. My coworker arrived first and he said reservations for 5. They asked him for a name! Haha, he said they looked at him like he was crazy. So that was weird. Otherwise, once we all arrived, the service was very friendly and attentive. Ambiance - it was open and had a mix of high top tables, low top, and bar seating. When it's busy, it's quite noisy. Not a place you can really carry a long conversation. I did notice there was a loft area that looks like a private party/gathering could be held. Once everyone left after the lunch rush, it was much quieter. Food - Yum! We started with the lemon pepper wings, which were recommended by our wait staff. The worst thing with wings are when they are dry and jerky like. This was not the case at Loafers. The wings were piping hot when they came out. Too hot to eat immediately. Once you got into the meat of the wings, it was moist. The lemon pepper flavor was great. Citrusy and peppery, not too salty. The wings came with baby carrots and celery sticks. I got the Buddha bowl which includes Rice, carrots, purple cabbage, avocado, sesame seeds, micro cilantro, mung bean sprouts, watermelon radish & peanut sauce and added seared ahi. I requested no rice and the waitress said it would be nothing if I don't get the rice, so she suggested getting salad. The bowl was massive. I'm not sure I needed the salad. It was really filling and the tuna was delicious. I felt the peanut sauce was a bit salty so I barely used it. Tuna has a pepper crust, so it was also flavorful. Overall, happy with our experience there for our team lunch.

ALL YOU CAN EAT, Riblets, fried shrimp or boneless wings along with endless fries, all for just $15.99! I remember a long time ago Applebee's offering this all you can eat riblets deal and I remember it wasn't that good, mostly because the service was so bad at limiting the ribs you got by making the refilling process so slow. I'm hoping with the improvements made in the last year, this all you can eat experience might be better. I'm with my crew traveling up the 5 towards Portland and I see there's an Applebee's location coming up here in Albany. These guys are ready for some all you can eat ribs (lets). We get seated fine and drinks orders taken. The inside looks pretty much like a lot of Applebee's. We all get the $15.99 riblets deal. It takes awhile for the first round to arrive. Each person gets 4 smallish slabs of riblets. I dunno which part of the pig these come off of, but I'd say they basically are the trimmings off the ribs to make the more popular cuts, like the St. Louis cuts. The bones are pretty small so watch out biting in. We all polish off that first order and we order refills. The second order takes some time again and is just 2 little pieces of riblets. Geeze at this rate, it's gonna take a long time to get filled up! I guess they hope you get filled up on the fries! Rating the riblets, I'd say skip them, they're not that good to wanna come back and go through the frustration of the slow ordering and you know, these ribs had a weird chemical taste, I think it's the artifical smoke flavoring they use. This whole "lunch" took almost 2 hours to get our fill. We all agreed skip this new deal, and stick with the $9.99 Bacon Cheeseburger deal!
