Albany Cafe

This is a very cool cafe setup in the cafeteria of an old small town school. Good food and very friendly staff! This is a great stop for anyone and especially if you're riding the windy roads of southeastern Ohio on a motorcycle.

We have heard nothing but good things about this restaurant for years. Today was our first time trying it and the experience was nothing short of disappointing. They were out of most food, didn't have pop, the sweet tea wasn't very sweet, food didn't come as ordered, and prices didn't match the menu. The waitress provided excellent service and was very kind but this situation is totally out of her control and unfair to her. Many people walked out almost as soon as they came in. The bathroom was poorly maintained and had no paper towels or toilet paper. They said they're switching owners and that's why everything was bad, but they should have just closed the place. We will not be going back.

Just an excellent small town cafe of the "old school" sort. Not fancy at all but had the bacon and eggs and was fantastic. If choosing potatoes get the home fries. They were nice and crispy - perfect really. Glad I found it.Food: 5/5

Went at 6:30pm Tuesday. Buffet near end but still available. Had ham and Swiss. Nice and hot and fresh. Server very attentive!Service: 5/5

Service was extremely slow. Food wasn't too bad but some of it was cold when they brought it to us. Next day around 10 am my stomach started hurting and then I started feeling horrible. Ended up getting sick for hours, thought I was dieing. Honestly I believe that I got food poisoning from eating thereFood: 3/5

In my opinion this is probably the best place to eat in Albany. I eat here all the time and the staff is always very friendly to me. It is basically a second home. It's main competition for Albany Cafe is Ray's harvest house. While I do like their food better the staff is extremely rude and neglectful. I used to work at Ray's and the boss was very mean to anyone that wasn't apart of the family. I have paid close attention to Albany Cafe's work environment and it seems to be a million times better than Ray's. I would highly recommend Albany Cafe to anyone and would highly discourage Ray's.

The Albany Cafe offers a delightful dining experience with its delectable menu, warm ambiance, and attentive service, making it a perfect destination for a satisfying meal and memorable moments.Food: 5/5

Good home cooked food! Breakfast all day! Super service! The atmosphere is awesome too! Its a classroom made into a cafe in an old school.

This is a hidden gem is in Albany Ohio. We heard of this place from friends and just had to visit. The building is an old school house that has been repurposed into many businesses in one location. Sure, we fought for 12 years to get out of those school cafeteria. But now you have the opportunity to go back and relive a close second but this time, you get to have a great meal. As we entered we were able to seat ourselves which was fine of course, Cafe style. Our waitress was prompt, courteous, and very friendly. As we looked around, the place was very well preserved in its original school days decor. The special written on board. I would highly recommend the baked steak with mashed potatoes and gravy plus an addition side. I got the coleslaw. My friend got the loaded hash browns. I am a really critic when it comes to flavor and portion size to price comparison. This place has hit the mark. Absolutely incredible food. Then comes the deserts. We got the strawberry cream pie. Wow... Everyone must try this pie. It is incredible. Now to top off this visit I have saved the best for last. When you visit you will be greater by the best staff that I have seen in a long time. And if you are lucky enough and have Caitlyn as your server. She will take exceptional care of you. Happy eats to you.

New to the area. The cafe was recommended and our lunch today actually ordered breakfast was fantastic. Service was prompt & friendly, food tasty and well priced. Looks like we’ve just found our go to restaurant nearby. Thanks!!
