Zi am over eighty and have eaten fried chicken all my life—all over the United States and many other countries. None I have ever had comes close to Hattie’s 4-piece plate with two sides. It is hot, it is juicy, it tastes great, and all portions are generous.

The atmosphere at this Albany location is a total 180 from the Saratoga Springs location. This feels elevated and chic. China (forgive my spelling) was an amazing wait staff member. From the check in to our final bite, the entire experience was amazing. We both got the 2 pc. fried chicken, my partner got fries and dirty rice...i got the mashed potatoes and Cajun cole slaw. EVERYTIHNG was perfection and was extremely tasty. Thank you for an amazing night of dining and we will be back!!!

Not good. They must be short handed, because our waitress had too many tables. The breading on the fried chicken was so salty I couldn’t eat it. Server never came over to ask how everything was,or if we wanted a second round of drinks. To make things worse, the food was just warm. It had obviously been sitting waiting to be brought out. It also took 45 minutes after we ordered. Not going back.

First time there but not the last. Everyone at the table enjoyed their food, staff took the time to ask about a recipe (and we got an extra chance when the chef came out to greet customers). Portions were generous and we all took home leftovers. A really lovely evening.
