Druthers Brewing Company - Albany

Date of Visit Fri July 7 I have reviewed Druthers before, and after being there again, and reading some terrible reviews for this restaurant, I feel it important to review again. Druthers Brewing has become a destination for us when we are in Albany. We have been to Druthers now about 5 times and never get tired of it. The Macaroni and cheese is to die for. The flavours are spot on and very creative. The portions are huge – and we often order our own – but this time we learned our lesson – and ordered one to split. We also ordered tacos to share as well. Our meal was perfect as it always has been. The service is always very good. This time, it was exceptional. Our waitress was very friendly and engaging. We had several conversations with her about various topics, travel, education, food, etc. The conversation was pleasant and not at all intrusive or bothersome. We were on a road trip to Saratoga – and discovered there was another Druthers there as well, (as well as other locations) Any time we are in Albany, or near Albany, we will always come to Druthers for great food (esp Mac Cheese), beer, atmosphere, and great service. Parking is a bit of a challenge when they are busy, but we always manage to find some. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Food was good, our server Dave was slow, and inattentive. We had to ask other servers for stuff several times cuz he just never came back to our table. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 4 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 4

Great spot... beer and food is very good. Outside seating is excellent. Service overall was good. Waited a while before I got attention, but smooth sailing after that. Check this spot out.

The mac'n cheese was tasteless and cold. This was our second time giving this place a try. We figured it had been a while and we would give it a second chance. But we will not make that mistake again. Also the front house staff ignored us when we went in to pick up the food. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2

A colossal amount of good food and great beer! Cool digs, too. The beer queso was yummo and came with a ridiculous amount of pretzels. I recommend!
