Ridiculously good!!! The flavor was superb and it came with a side of soup just in case if you want to pour more on the sandwich. I also enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich. This is in a rough neighborhood, but well worth the drive and plenty of parking on the street. This is a burger spot that I would recommend to everyone when they visit Albany.

My boyfriend and I were craving burgers for a while now and while he suggested Burger King, I told him, “Let’s try something new!!!” First of all, the location for the restaurant is pretty quiet and felt almost like a hole in the wall. As a chef, I personally loved the concept of the menu. They had so many unique options to their fries and burgers! Flavor profiles you never see around here unless you go to a semi-formal restaurant. Not to mention, they have a whole wall of froyo options! I wish they had milkshakes to top the meal off though. The burgers were a decent size (they are not shy about their patty size either) the same with the sides. Everything was seasoned really well! (Some tend to be a little salty though) I chose to come here bc i read from a magazine somewhere that they had the best fries. Everything was worth the price.

Burgers were huge, fresh, and cooked to order. Unique flavors…BBQ burger was our favorite. The french fries were outstanding! Hubby and I each got an order; loaded regular and loaded sweet potato fries. Frozen yogurt on our way out…my bowl was loaded, $7 and we shared. Highly recommend….we’ll be back!

This place makes some of the best, most original burgers and fries in the capital area. The staff are friendly and the food is cooked to your liking fairly quick. The only downside I can see is the parking – there is no lot, it’s all on-street which makes it difficult to find parking during hours where you’d typically grab a burger.

Great small eatery with a good selection of sandwiches & sides. Came here on a Saturday evening and enjoyed the food. The food was fresh & hot when served. The chicken sandwich I had packed a nice punch that made my taste buds dance. Chose to get the loaded fries and they were also a hit. I would recommend this place for a quick bite.

After eating at Crave I was speachless. They have so many different types of burgers, there is really something for everyone. We read reviews about Crave and just had to go there when in Albany. The reviews are true. The burgers are cooked to perfection. The fries are as good as the burgers and not just a side dish or an after thought. You may be tempted to only eat the fries as your meal because they are that good with the toppings. But don’t skip the burgers. The owners are pure geniuses for creating this place and even greater geniuses for putting it near a college campus. I don’t indulge in burgers often but when I do get to indulge, I don’t want to regret it. No regrets with Crave. They have contributed to my food happiness and will contribute to yours.

Bacon cheeseburger was decadent! Butter bun, crisp bacon, melted cheese, and Crave sauce…so good! Paired that with truffle fries… perfectly seasoned, golden, with the most flavorful truffle aoli! If you’re in the beautiful city of Albany you’ve got to stop at Crave!
