    I was on a little walk about town on my day off and stopped in for lunch. The bartender was friendly and turned me onto a new beer. Had a cup of chili, which was just right for me. Meat, beans and flavor without burning my mouth with spice. I also recommend the BLT. Light and buttery bread and didn't skimp on the bacon. And I liked the neighborhood feel of the place. Will have to come again.

    First time at the Albert, won’t be the last. Great selection of food and beverages. We ordered the smoked chicken club and the brisket melt, both were excellent. The tots and homemade onion rings were great as well.

    I had a chance to visit the expanded area which looks very classy. The food was good ol' fried comfort, nothing too fussy. A solid local joint!

    You can seat yourself but the place is very homey feeling! I had the special Albert burger and it was to die for! The onions were so sweet and the cheese was even better. I had some pulled pork or chicken soup on the side which was seasoned so well! The service is also fast since the place isn't too big.

    The food here rocks! The fact that they can have great smoked wings and burgers right alongside one of the best bar kale salads Ove ever had, a homemade black bean burger AND a tremendous shrimp and grits brunch is kinda mind blowing!

    A friend told me about this place. I ordered a chicken sandwich togo. The griddle is so dirty and they did not bother to clean it! Look at the carbon on my chicken sandwich!!! Nasty. Better check inside before you eat. Food was mediocre. Disappointed.

    My husband and I decided to give this place in our neighborhood a try and are so glad we did! They’ve updated everything they could to accommodate for social distancing. We ordered a chicken sandwich and a shrimp po’boy with fries and onion rings. Outstanding! Highly recommend.

    The Albert is AMAZING! Tia and her staff are the best service you will get in Atlanta. We hosted a baby shower for a friend, and not only was Tia so accommodating, her staff was there to ensure that everything was flawless. Tia was there waiting for us to arrive, and everyone helped set up and made sure we had everything that we needed. The food is amazing, and the service is the best in town. HIGHLY recommended, you will not be disappointed!

    I had someone I met in the airport tell me about the Albert and had never been. It's slightly off the main area of Inman Park so you can easily miss it like I had. I was excited when I arrived. Nice warm neighborhood decor. Service was warm and good as well. Drinks were poor and food marginal at best. We had 2 different cocktails neither were well prepared. We also had 2 burgers with different toppings. Fries and tots were good and hot. I could name 20 other burgers in town that are better. Bottom line...if you want a bee and hang out with friends definitely visit but if good cocktails and good food are what you desire go somewhere else.

    The restaurant offers a unique dining experience within a charming, historic building, creating an intimate atmosphere. Guests have the freedom to choose their preferred seating location, and although the table we were seated at was slightly small and situated near a large sofa, it added to the cozy ambiance, which we found manageable. While our waiter seemed preoccupied and occasionally forgot to bring our food promptly or provide condiments and side orders as requested, their attentive reminders helped ensure a satisfactory dining experience. Above all, we were delighted by the exceptional quality of the food, which was truly amazing.

    We were the first to arrive on a Sunday morning. Service was a little slow but we were warned they were short staffed and it may be a while before we would get our food. We didn’t mind. We sat outside where they have tables and umbrellas set up in the rear parking lot and enjoyed the sunshine. We were able to order drinks at the walk up window and were served those immediately. It was the perfect remedy for my hangover. When the food finally arrived it was hot and delicious. I got the burger with blue cheese with onion rings. The burger was tasty and the rings were large, perfectly battered and crispy. I have been coming to the Albert for years and hope folks continue to support this local favorite haunt.

  • 5/5 Arlaina A. 5 months ago on Google • 18 reviews
    First time here last night and the woman working there really took care of us! Initially had a server who came over and took our drink order but he never put our drinks in at the bar, another server noticed we were waiting a long time and came over and asked if we ever got our drinks, we said no and she went and got them for us and didn’t charge us for them which was so kind. Just had a pretzel but it was delicious, plan on coming back to try more of their food! Understandably it was a busy Halloween night so not really upset about the drink situation but impressed with how it was handled.

    The Albert has been a staple in the neighborhood for years and has only gotten better! They now have a very dog friendly covered patio with a big screen TV, friendly regulars and staff, and excellent food! The buffalo chicken salad is incredible! If you are looking for a great place to spend some time with friends, grab a beer, or meet friendly folks, The Alber is the place to be!

    I was there recently for a birthday gathering. The food was great! I had the Micah Special which you MUST request. I highly recommend it! The wings were fried just right (not too soft and not too hard). The sauce was awesome and different. Our drinks were good too! Our waiter, Nick, was very attentive. The overall atmosphere was laid back and I love the dining area decor. While there we heard about their brunch and we shall be back!

    Hate to see this place slide, but I feel like it has. Some background: the wife and I were hitting this place almost every weekend almost along with some other intown stuff when our kid went to college to try and get over missing Little Buddy. We got to the point where the bartenders would give us a "good to see you again" type welcome. We felt like several visits ago things weren't great food wise and didn't have the burning desire to come back. The last day of Inman Park Festival we walked in and were ignored for about 20 minutes while the bartender did shots with his buddy who was seated next to us. Kinda pissed us off and we left. A friend that we turned on to The Albert wanted to celebrate a big birthday there a few weeks ago, so we bit our tongue and went. They, as we did, felt it wasn't the same place and the food was not great like before. I ordered the 6 smoked wings and got 4 full ones and 2 that were broken in half and were only a half nugget size. Don't get me wrong, there is no more cozy a spot to watch a football game at during a cool , rainy November evening, but I'm disapointed in my last several visits.

    Great dive bar that has old school Atlanta vibes in a very hip and up-and-coming neighborhood. Great service. The manager is awesome. Just go in expecting old school ATL vibes and not any fancy high end stuff. Food is great and drinks are affordable.

    Solid 4 star bar with good drinks and good food. Portions are great and quality in better than a lot of bars in the area. Comfortable place.

  • 5/5 christopher g. 8 months ago on Google
    This was a really nice spot. The bar was great, the people were great, the drinks and pours were great, and they had the Bravos on. I mean 🤷‍♂️ AE graciously handled all my requests with aplomb, and my party was enthusiastic af about them wings and calamari. 13/10 would go again even though I hate to leave EAV.

  • 5/5 Chris B. 9 months ago on Google
    Pulled pork sandwich and fries might not sound too original but The Albert version was outstanding. The Mango Mule chaser was superb. Service by I-wish-I-knew-her-name went over the top when she ordered me an Uber on her account when my phone died and failed at charging. So grateful to have found this place!

    Great local bar! Super chill bartenders and fantastic food! Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Emily O. 1 year ago on Google
    Ugh. Love this place. Onion rings are to die for. Excellent quality bar food. The staff are incredible. What a great comforting little neighborhood dive.

  • 1/5 Cherilyn B. 1 year ago on Google
    First time here and we loved the atmosphere as well as service. However, the fried chicken was probably the SALTIEST thing I have ever eaten. My tastebud was ruined and everything tasted salty after. The salt was big and obvious on the chicken batter. Please have your kitchen know the quality of things like this before serving it to customers!

  • 4/5 Stephanie N. 2 years ago on Google
    Really cool spot, very chill, no-nonsense bar with some good eats, too. It's a small place so the bar can get kind of busy but they also have tables/booths. We ordered the smoked wings with lemon pepper on them and they were AMAZING. Top notch smoked wings, for real!! I liked this place. It might not be as welcoming as some other places but it's definitely a chill spot.

  • 5/5 Todd L. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere and decor, friendly staff...AMAZING FOOD! Three if us went, and all three of us RAVED about the food. The dining area was very quiet, however a Food Tour came in not too long after we ordered. The 15 people (roughly) on the Tour didn't affect our service or our experience one bit. Was curious why dining area was so empty, then realized everyone was eating in there outdoor dining area out back (which looked very pleasant, and the bar area was pretty full. Would DEFINITELY recommend and return. Parking was a little sparse, but we got lucky. ** FYI - THEY ARE A CASHLESS ESTABLISHMENT, CREDIT/DEBIT ONLY. Their website and signs on windows front and back clearly state that, so we weren't surprised, but I figured a little reinforcement would hurt.**

  • 3/5 Scott Q. 2 years ago on Google
    Cool story (owner's father was God-son of Albert Einstein), but the drink (mule with elderberry) was not great. Wings were good, homemade blue cheese sauce. Didn't try the boiled peanuts, but friend said they were really good sauce. Cool atmosphere and furnishings. Nicely decorated. Just was disappointed with the apparent signature drink. It's a bar with more tastier than average bar food. Not exactly revolutionary.

    Great Fish & Chips and BLT. Service was fast & friendly and great ambiance as always. Love The Albert!

  • 5/5 Dan B. 3 years ago on Google
    Hands down my favorite neighborhood spot. Amazing burgers and wings. Can't say enough about the fried chicken sandwich. Get extra ranch.

  • 3/5 Dustin B. 2 years ago on Google
    I used to have a really great time here but I think the food has gone downhill recently. I had their burger and onion rings and both seemed overdone. They advertise their burger as being one of the best in the city but it doesn’t seem that way anymore.

  • 5/5 justin b. 2 years ago on Google
    The customer service and the food was awesome. When you go, make sure you order the Micah Special!!! That wing flavor is the bomb!!!! You have to request it, but it's finger licking good.

  • 5/5 Madison B. 3 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    The Albert is amazing every time for just a beer or a sit down meal! We live close and have now been 10+ times and tried many things on the menu and everything is always phenomenal. We may be biased to the patty melt though. Couldn’t ask for a better neighborhood spot!

  • 3/5 Mackenzie S. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    The Albert used to be our neighborhood go to spot - we loved the people and the food. Not sure what happened but it has slipped into low quality and expensive food. The diner burger used to be my usual order. The patty now sucks, seems like a frozen beef patty.No longer recommend for dinning.
