"We came in for a layover on a flight that lasted alll day and honestly our Rachel was so great!!! She made me feel better about traveling, was quick, handled like 9 or 10 new tables that came in like a bosssss and for an airport restaurant she’s a real keeper. And I really hate flying. So I’m grateful for her and the good food."

"Look, you can complain about airport food til the cows come home but this spot is pretty great. Sweet and spicy bartender, at least 1 super local beer on tap, and large fresh salads. It’s like a locals place in an airport. I’ll take it any day over most big airport grossness. Just be quiet and eat your food."

"I thoroughly enjoyed the Capital Wedge Salad with Ranch Dressing. Presentation was very appealing and salad had plenty of toppings to make you full. Service delivered by Sandra was over the top, by promptly acknowledging my presence, taking my order, delivering requested water and ordered food, as well as prompt delivery of my check. She even refilled my water bottle with filtered water without being asked! I would highly recommend this restaurant and will most definitely return if vs when my travels should involve a stopover at Albany Airport (ALB)."

"Comfortable place with good food. My Ceasar Salad was twice the size of the ones I saw at Chick-fil-A and the self-serve kiosks, but only 1.5x the price. Friendly server. I sat at a table but saw that the bar was lively."
