We stopped by Jack’s Diner today for the first and were quickly greeted and seated in a corner booth. While the nostalgic diner is showing its age, it is comfortable and looks to be clean.

A few days ago I had some tests at Saint Peter’s Hospital and I needed something to eat before going into work in Schenectady. Since I’m not from Albany, I googled ‘diner near me’ and several names popped up, including Jack’s, which was not closest but had the best rating. I picked Jacks and it was awesome. I ordered the usual: 2 over easy with HF and dry rye. Ready in 5 minutes and cooked perfectly. The women running the place were super friendly with all the customers going in and out including a young family with small energetic kids. You could tell there were several regulars. I just felt like I was home and felt comforted with a big surgery coming up. This will be my “go to” spot in Albany from now on.

Omg this place is a hidden Gem . Breakfast was so yummy! Home made corned beef hash was a highlight. I had ham steak n eggs n home fries. Eggs cook perfectly to my order. Potatoes, so buttery n cooked light but crispy! Staff is on point n fast service. Will be visiting again with friends n family. Yum!

The egg salad was just good, not great. The flavor was great, good level of mustard, but it was too Mayo-y, making it too loose. Also no diced onion or celery. Everything else we ate (French fries, home fries, waffle, sunny-side up eggs) were all 5 stars but I only review egg salad.

Great place! The food was very good and the wait time wasn’t long at all. The staff was very friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was small town diner with that old school charm. Definitely worth it if you’re in Albany

Took my 4 year old great grandson for lunch after church. Very pleasant staff. The waitresses treated him like a king, made him so happy. The food was well prepared. Definitely going back again!

Old style diner. Good food. Hidden gem. Make sure you don’t drive past it. It’s a popular spot for locals. Great breakfast.

Horrible experience I’ve been going there for years and this time I went I sent my food back. They sent the same food out when I complain for the second time I was told leave and never come back. It’s really a shame.

Awesome local place with a classic diner feel, both in the aesthetics of the building and in the diner food they serve. Plus, the prices are very affordable for the quality meal you will receive! Highly recommend a visit here!
