After lamenting for years that the area didn't have a Chick-fil-a (no, the one in the airport which…read moreyou could only access with a board pass didn't count) there are now 4 within about 20 minutes of my house! This was the first I think to come to the Albany region, yet I have never been here before. But, they have special Family night activities on Tuesday nights so I stopped by recently with my 4-year old son. We managed to hit the line at just the right time and didn't have to wait. Our order took about 10 minutes to be brought to our table, but it was rush hour. In the meantime, we looked around and the cars and waved to other people. He enjoyed his meal and actually picked applesauce over fries (!). I had a spicy chicken sandwich which wasn't actually spicy, but it was very good. The fries, per usual, were just okay. Their BBQ sauce is a bit unusual tasting to me, but workable. The kid's event for the night was bead bracelet making, which Harrison has been interested in lately, so he had a blast talking with the other kids and stringing up beads. There was no cost to the project, and in fact his kid's meal was FREE too. THANKS! I bought a pair of chocolate chip cookies for dessert and they were warm and fantastic too. I like eating Chick Fil A food already, so to have an extra bonus (kid's night) is only more incentive to drive here on Tuesdays for fun. PS: I watched them train a new employee at the register and wow, if only every fast food employee was prepared in the same manner. Many are either bored or rude, but not here.

The Christmas lights along the roofline make the whole place feel really festive when you pull into the parking lot at night. I've noticed this location seems to decorate every year and it always looks really clean and professionally done. It's a small detail but it definitely puts you in the holiday mood. Food and service were exactly what you expect from Chick-fil-A too. Friendly staff, fast service, and everything came out hot and fresh. Between the great service and the festive lights this location always stands out a little more around the holidays.

Disgusting. Save your time and money, go somewhere else, literally anywhere else. If anyone writes a good review about this place, they were definitely paid or they work there and they want to make it look good. Given this place so many chances, and they're horrible every single time, can't even take an order. They just do whatever they want to do, including clothes early and leave, you sitting at the speaker for fifteen...twenty minutes or more.

Everything is nice and clean and put together…read more Everyone is kind, friendly even though I ordered my phone app. They still asked me when I picked up my cup. If I was sure I didn't want something else. I said no thank you I'm all set. When you walk in and say hi, they say hello which is most places do that. Every place is super friendly. I always find it my go to Panera Bread and matter where it is across the country that everything is perfect. It's exactly the same from one restaurant to the next and never have to be curious if something is going to be different. The bathrooms are clean and well kept up as well as beverage stations, etc.. This one really is not that far off the highway right off the New York thruway it is a 10th of a mile so it's perfect to get off. It's in a plaza with lots of other businesses in case. You forgot Something else. Just an example of what people can learn from is if they checked into this store in particular learn something from here.

It's one of those spots that just does simple food really well. Nothing fancy, just a really good burger and fries. My son already asked when we can go back, so I'm guessing we'll be making another trip soon.

The burger was great and I definitely recommend it; how ever I am just stuck on that Fried Fish Sandwich because it's like no other! The buns are always amazingly soft and the flavor of their fries are truly original! I have stopped on my way home from work for their Chicken Tacos and they certainly didn't disappoint! The portions were big and even filled my husband up (that third order of tacos ended up coming for lunch the next day-my husband thought one order won't be enough! lol) The seating is great and a nice spot to get out of the office for lunch, nice days I sit outside! The other customers are always nice and conversation is welcome from strangers here. When you walk in it almost feels like home and everyone is always so friendly! I have tried two of their breakfast menu items as a quick pick up on the way to work. Their Bang Bang is my go to! I have had it twice and it is SO filling! I almost can't finish it and when I do I wish I hadent...it is big and well worth the$4.50- unless you are starving and feel like you could eat a horse don't even worry about ordering a side of potatoes...I could never get threw them and the Bang Bang! I have had their Breakfast Sandwich as well and that is to die for! Roll is so soft, eggs are cooked just right to have a little run of the yoke! As always the Mess Hall does not disappoint!

I got the tamale, mango smoothie and birria tacos. You can judge a resturaunt on their tamales. If the tamale isn't good, it usually is indicative of the rest of the food. Their tamale was delicious- steamed in banana leaves , just the right amount of masa and the masa was perfect. It reminded me of my aunts . Everything is fresh! The taco shells were perfectly fried. The mango smoothie, while simple, was amazing. I could literally eat here every day. The only thing that would make it better is if they had fruit cups. I really miss Mexican fruit cups!
