    That is their REGULAR portion of fries.
    Bill Z.

    At this point, I've visited all of the Herbie's Burgers in the Albany area (currently 3, but I expect more to be built). I still prefer a crafted burger in a pub over any of the "chain burgers," but among those, I feel Herbie's competes with the best. They is a little bit of inconsistency among them. For example this Herbie's is where I've had my favorite burgers but least favorite fries (not that they are awful or anything, see below). My burger here was well prepared, and the all-important bacon was crisp and flavorful. The best description I can use for the fries is "all over the place," and I use that term for multiple meanings. First, there's the quantity. An order of "regular" fries is enough to feed 2 or 3 people. As per my photo, the portion was literally overflowing out of the container and all over my tray. But the quality was a bit all over the place as well. These fries - matchstick or shoestring style - were a mish-mash. Some fries were perfect, others were burnt matchsticks, some were slightly undercooked, and in general they were slightly greasier than they need to be. But while they are still warm, they are absolutely delicious with enough to share. When it comes to their milkshakes, I am a vanilla type of guy and will always be satisfied with their vanilla milkshakes. But I hear high praise for their banana milkshakes. And one dining companion last night raved about the vegan milkshakes. I was scratching my head until she explained that they use tahini. That made them immediately more interesting to me, and she said their strawberry vegan milkshake is positively addicting. I just hope Herbie's doesn't get out by a bigger chain (out of fear of their eventual success).

    This review update could have been a rant. It could have had me remove a star, or two..., or maybe even three. But I want you to learn from my experience and this review, so you know what to expect. Because these burgers are so good, IMHO, there is not a valid enough reason to avoid enjoying a burger from Herbie's. Let me start by explaining that upon my first visit to this Herbie's location in 9/22, I observed that it took what I considered to be a longer time than normal for my order to be filled at a fast-food stand. So, I thought I could outsmart Herbie's this time by ordering online with a scheduled pickup time at least an hour later. I arrived at Herbie's counter at 6:17, two minutes after the requested pickup time, and was informed that the cook was working on my order. Twenty-three minutes later my order was handed to me. Now this may seem like an unreasonable amount of time to wait for an order to be filled, and apparently it was for those who were already waiting for their orders when I arrived. I'm sure that partially helps to explain why they cancelled their order about the time that my order was handed to me. Proper cooking takes time, even for burgers. My wife had a Single Cheeseburger in a lettuce wrap ($6.95) with a request to hold the onions. That was exactly how it was prepared with the standard inclusion of tomato, pickles, and house-made nerdy sauce. She declared it was delicious. I ordered a Double Cheeseburger with bacon ($10.95) and all the standard toppings. Love those crispy edges on the burger. We shared a large order of French Fries ($3.95) but we may want to consider ordering two regular, or even two large, the next time since the fries are that good. Final Note: When you order online you are ordering through Mealeo. I was surprised that the prices through Mealeo matched the prices posted at Herbie's. Frequently, online ordering apps charge slightly more. Back in 9/22 I also noted that Herbie's charged a non-cash adjustment if you used a credit card. I don't know if that is still their policy when paying at their counter, but there was no non-cash adjustment charge through Mealeo. Now I simply wonder how long I would have had to wait if I had placed my order in person.

    Double cheeseburger and a regular sized fries.

    Been a while since we visited Galleria 7 food court so decided to stop by for lunch. Saw this burger place and positive reviews for it so decided to try them out. Got a double cheeseburger with all standard toppings and a regular sized fries. Burger tasted great, much better than standard fast food. More like Elevation burger or 5 Guys in the good way. Fries are thinly cut and excellent. Very generous portions. Taste freshly fried. Satisfy the burger and fries craving. Fountain drinks were more off brand, maybe RC or something like that? Tasted great, the diet cola made with Splenda. Prices are very reasonable for these days. Would definitely return in the future.

    Double Cheeseburger

    Yumminess! I was craving for burger. And found this in the Galleria 7 food court. The patties are thin but tender and juicy and the bread is soft and goes well with the burger. Service is fast. The price is fair. The room is nice, clean, with music playing and there are lots of food choices. Lots of parking as well. I will surely buy again.

    Double vegan cheese burger with vegan bacon and small fries.

    As someone who doesn't eat meat, it can be a challenge to find *good* meatless alternatives that *don't* taste/smell like cat food. Herbies has an outstanding vegan patty. Kicking myself for not having had tried it sooner. I got the vegan double, which was hefty- my big back thoroughly enjoyed it. The fries were okay, nothing special- I probably wouldn't get the fries again. They also have milkshakes- both regular and vegan. I will definitely return to try the vegan shake. The staff was very friendly!

    If you want to wait one hour for a small fries, give them a try. Will not return for sure.

The first time I order a burger at someplace new to me, I always skip the sauces and condiments, so I can taste the flavor of the beef and the toppings. It certainly comes through here! Despite being cooked well, the beef flavor was strong, and the patties remained juicy. I wish they offered Swiss cheese as another possible topping. The fries are not my favorite. I do enjoy crisp fries, and these indeed are. The first few, while still hot, were tasty. But there comes the question, "Can fries be too crisp?" For me, these would be a "yes." While I appreciated the crunch, these were beyond the point where you still have the fluffier texture inside. They almost felt like french-fry shaped potato chips. They're also very filling. One serving could easily satisfy 3 people. I'll want to visit again to try one of their chicken sandwiches. And I saw on one of their signs that they carry Jane's Ice Cream, something I haven't had for a while. Bottom line: I'd come here for a burger or a chicken sandwich, but I'd be likely to get a side elsewhere in the building.

Another great visit to Innovo Kitchen I've been to Innovo Kitchen several times over the years and have reviewed them before, and today's visit didn't disappoint either. One thing I really like about Innovo is that they frequently change the menu, so there's always something new to try, and I've never had trouble finding something that sounds good. Tonight I went with the Rigatoni Riggies with tomato vodka sauce and chicken, and it was delicious. The warm bread that came with it was also really tasty. We also tried the Dorito Cool Ranch tater tots, which were delightful. But the real showstopper was the peanut butter mud pie. Soooooo good. Definitely one of those desserts that makes you wish you had ordered two. What really made tonight's visit memorable, though, was our waiter, Matthew. He noticed the funny design on my T-shirt and struck up a conversation about it. We laughed and chatted for a bit, and eventually he mentioned that he's been a waiter for 27 years. It showed. Matthew was high-energy, funny, personable, and attentive without being overbearing. He checked on us several times and seemed to genuinely enjoy what he was doing. Watching him work was like watching someone who has truly mastered his craft. It was a master class in waitership, and it made an already great meal even better. Great food, a fun atmosphere, and an excellent server. Another very enjoyable visit to Innovo Kitchen.

They are always pleasant and attentive. However, the food is not as good as a story. Your "experience" starts by reading the menu and being greeted by relatively high prices - which isn't an issue if the food is stellar (spoiler alert, it's not). I have had multiple dishes here from a roast beef sandwich, burger, chicken Caesar salad, an onion pasta dish, and even a lobster Cobb salad. Every single dish lacks seasoning, culinary character, and is just bland. I want to like it, but they make it very hard. If you go here, maybe just have a drink at the bar and go eat some place else.
