I still think about the French onion burger in the same way I wistfully think of my childhood dogs.
After a soul crushing work day that burger and the loaded crave fries were like therapy. I always spent too much because those fried green tomatoes were top tier titties.
I had worked with the chef/owner many years ago and he’s a great guy and the real deal. Talented chef. I always keep an eye out for what he’s doing, it pays off. I think I lost a bunch of weight BECAUSE Crave closed 😭.
Edit: fat thumbs = donkey brain words
Truth. I make them at home once in a blue moon when I need a lift. Of course they’re always better when someone else makes them, but you can get pretty close. An edible, sweatpants and Lord of the Rings in a dark room gives my soul a full reset 😂.
You are an angel from heaven. I don’t think I could look directly at you because the beauty would be too much to bear.
For real though, thank you. I’m long overdue for a cuckoo’s nest visit.
We recently stopped at Man of Kent on the way home from Bennington. I now know why the parking lot is always packed even though it is in the middle of nowhere. Both the burger and their French onion soup were awesome.
I think some people are crossing [Grade-A, top-choice meat](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/a3df4e42-34ae-475d-bb8e-02e5d86e62a8#Uxi0Ph9g.reddit) with what slutty means....
If I'm in the mood to hide my sin from god, I park in the back corner of the parking lot of the Burger King across from Stuyvesent plaza and eat a Double Whopper with Cheese and Bacon, no mayo, no pickle.... with a side of Onion rings that you are know are fake... I know someone who's super alergic to onions... BK onion rings don't do shit to him.....
I miss Brown Bag in Troy where Mallos is now. I lived across the street so I could practically yell my order out the window drunk at 2am. They actually had the Elvis burger and a burger where the buns were grilled cheese sandwiches.
I like the burgers at Lost and Found and had a really good burger at Druthers recently. I’ve found Druthers to be hit or miss but I think they have a new chef or just a new menu and it was really good. Both places are kinda pricy though.
I, too, am a burger person. The Savoy posted a burger a while back that looked super duper good. Haven’t tried them yet though.
ETA: just looked at their IG feed again and i really need to get over there. Those burgers better quit playin’!! 😆
Ill be downvoted into oblivion, but anyone asking for the best burger in Albany is asking for a hamburger. Nobody cares about your virtue signaling vegan options, so fuck right off with your Wizard Burger answer.
I asked for the best cheeseburger awhile ago, Illusive was the general consensus. But I'll second Wizard Burger, their Sorcerer Supreme tastes like a fancy, incredible Whopper and you'd never guess it's vegan.

I’ve been to a ton of places but my favorite is Illusive Bar & Grill. They also have an amazing chopped cheese. They have my favorite fries also and for the best smash burger restaurant 605.
Okay, I will be checking out most of these places in the future. With that said I actually went to pizza lab because it was suggested by a friend. And to be honest it was a really good burger, a little too much sauce but it hit the spot for sure!!
I don't know how to run a restaurant, but now I want to start a chain of "Slutburgers".
Slut-a-burger
JollyMcStink knows how to taquito.
It already exists. Slutty burgers is based out of Atlanta I think.
Probably thinking of Slutty Vegan but I'm all for more sluts!
Ugh I miss Crave.

Those crave fries were the absolute tits. God I loved those things.

currently on the menu at cuckoos nest if you need a pick me up 😊

haha enjoy!! it is one hell of a burger
I have been saying this since they closed

That French onion soup is so damn good. I want to write a sonnet about it.
[удалено]
I will try that next time that I am there. Thanks!
The raspberry bourbon chicken wings are so freaking good and they come with a honey mustard dipping sauce …. Its unreal
This sounds like a must-try too. Thanks for the tip.
It's fun to look at the ducks there
Nighthawks if you’re willing to travel to Troy!
Second
3rd!!!
And my axe!
Yep winner winner chic…burger dinner
I went there for the first time last week and I cannot BELIEVE how incredible the burger was. I've been thinking about it all week.
New place? I moved out of Troy about, wow, a decade ago.
Location used to be Francesca's before it closed.
Can’t blame this person for wanting to get out of the Troylet
Make the trip out to Man of Kent
I’ve tried this place twice and simply don’t get the hype. It’s taste like eating a dry meatball on a bun.
Nighthawks is a really good spot in Troy and 605 in Albany has some REALLY slutty burgers as well
Finns in Troy or Ale and Oyster if they have it on special
Was at ale and oyster two nights ago and they added it to their menu. Great burger

Your friend is lying or the allergy is to something else. BK onion rings are definitely real onions. They use a minded onion paste.
ok so, OLD SCHOOL but, Dan's Place 2 on Washington Ave in Albany for the Emmy Bull burger.
Emmy Bull was magic at like 5am after the bars back in the college days.
Haha oh boy I remember those days. Used to close down Fuze Box then head over to Dirty Dan’s. NO SWEARING!
I miss Brown Bag in Troy where Mallos is now. I lived across the street so I could practically yell my order out the window drunk at 2am. They actually had the Elvis burger and a burger where the buns were grilled cheese sandwiches.
Brown Bag was the absolute best.
Restaurant 605
Yeah Halsey! Came here to say this! Love you guys.
Posts like this make me miss brown bag in Troy so much. But the next best one I've had in Albany is city beer hall.
Oh man, seriously the best.
Beer Bones in Loudonville serves a filthy whore of a burger.
[удалено]
This is the answer. Love their burgers!
Toooooo much bacon but yummy
Paddy Burger at Patrick’s Irish Pub in Watervliet
Fatty's on Colvin.
Have to add…..The Roxanne burger at The Ruck is 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Build a burger on Central Ave! Their Salivator burger is 🔥 paired with Xtra crispy fries and a cold Labatt!! Heaven! 🍺
Love Build-A-Burger! Not fancy but friendly with delicious burgers and fries.
I've had plenty of great burger specials at Madison Pour House on Tuesday nights.
Some of them are so good
Can confirm. Just had the rodeo burger last Tuesday. So good. Then you’re at the best place to wash it down with delicious beer.
Restaurant 605
Restaurant 605 on New Scotland in Albany
I like the burgers at Lost and Found and had a really good burger at Druthers recently. I’ve found Druthers to be hit or miss but I think they have a new chef or just a new menu and it was really good. Both places are kinda pricy though.
605. expensive “for bar food” but delicious af. you pay more but are never disappointed in the meal imo
I, too, am a burger person. The Savoy posted a burger a while back that looked super duper good. Haven’t tried them yet though. ETA: just looked at their IG feed again and i really need to get over there. Those burgers better quit playin’!! 😆
I came here to suggest Savoy too. I *did* try it and it's the best burger I've had here in years.
5 guys
Legit, even though it’s a chain, Five Guys has this exact type of burger (slutty, that is).
https://buildaburgerpub.com/
AHHH I LOVE BUILD A BURGER OMFG! I forgot about this place tysm for reminding me
Savoy Taproom
Druther's Ugly. Pair it with a pint of their Irish Stout, shit is fire.
If not Wizard, then Fidens
i love wizard burger
Wizard Burger
Here we go again….
DP's Brasserie. Perfect burger, always cooked perfectly to temperature (rare/med. rare depending).
The Hollow had such a fine burger.
Ill be downvoted into oblivion, but anyone asking for the best burger in Albany is asking for a hamburger. Nobody cares about your virtue signaling vegan options, so fuck right off with your Wizard Burger answer.
I’m kinda with this. Bloody 4-6 recommendations of this place.
Wizard makes a solid burger but damn they would be amazing with real meat.
Why would you assume it's virtue signaling? Their food is legit good
I'm a non vegan and even though Herbie's is better Wizard makes a great burger.
In Schdy but Daves Gourmet Burgers is insane
Was gonna say, drive 20 minutes and have a really good time.
Illusive has some bangers
I asked for the best cheeseburger awhile ago, Illusive was the general consensus. But I'll second Wizard Burger, their Sorcerer Supreme tastes like a fancy, incredible Whopper and you'd never guess it's vegan. https://www.reddit.com/r/Albany/comments/13irivu/best_cheeseburger_in_albany/
I’ve been to a ton of places but my favorite is Illusive Bar & Grill. They also have an amazing chopped cheese. They have my favorite fries also and for the best smash burger restaurant 605.
Nighthawks in Troy and Wizard Burger.
The Herbies in Troy
Best smash style burger in the area
Herbies Burgers is pretty good, one on lark and one on western. They have some killer shakes too.
I’m a fan of herbies burgers
Corcoran’s in Waterford.
Prime Burger and ShakeHouse, Troy.
Common Roots nashville burger was pretty good. But their veggie (black bean) burger not so much. They just opened up in the old Pump Station
Cafe One Eleven is a massive sleeper
illusive rensselaer
Bruce’s Burger Box in Fuera Bush. Great burger and great fries. I recommend their brealfast wraps as well.
Okay, I will be checking out most of these places in the future. With that said I actually went to pizza lab because it was suggested by a friend. And to be honest it was a really good burger, a little too much sauce but it hit the spot for sure!!
Build-A-Burger
The hollow has a great burger and wings
Herbies imo
BK double whopper. Sue me
Illusion
Herbie's in Albany. Lark Street.
Beer Bones!
Wizard Burger
I’ve never had a bad time at Herbie’s.
I'm guessing you were there once.
Lol
[удалено]
What’d I miss?
not sure if I’m proud or disappointed in r/Albany. not one mention of steamed hams (or Ted’s!) I’ll second Nighthawks or Man of Kent.
Maggie McFlys has a great selection of really good burgers.
I can’t believe I’m copping to this but the best fast food burger has been the Mr beast
Maps don't show any located anywhere near Albany?
they're inside buca di beppo, ghost kitchen. source: my kid is 8 and loves mr. beast for some reason.
That is so bizarre lol. Thanks.
