The food is cooked with a lot of heart and a lot of butter. I had the ribeye and it was cooked perfectly. I wish they sold the seasoning they used on it. My husband stole my sweet potato with cinnamon butter it was so good. Wish I would've taken a photo but after one bite I couldn't stop. Highly recommend! read more

Our server Chakeia was excellent. Food was so, so good! Service from everyone was very professional and personal. Highly recommend!!! read more

The Flint - Catfish. Mac n cheese. Mixed greens with smoked turkey - American Near Me - Albany, Georgia

Food was great! Service was above par. The ambiance was incredible. Very cute and worth the stop.

First visit love the atmosphere. Great location and good vibe. Music was old school loved it Hostess could be more pleasant. She seemed to not want to be at work. We got there right when they opened at 4:30 on. Saturday. Drinks were amazing . Had a sangria it is not on the menu. Bartender even came over to see how the drinks were ..LOVED THAT. Staff was awesome friendly. Someone came by at least every 5 minutes and asked how things were going . Our waitress seemed timid and unconfident. She was good but probably will be much better once she gets more experience she had great food and drink recommendations though so she gets a thumbs up very sweet young lady. The owners even came by several times and chatted us up. They are a very sweet couple. Made our first visit feel Like home. My date and i were both from Out of town but plan to visit here again real Soon. We had stuffed flounder with sweet potato and broccoli. The potato came with a brown sugar butter. Yummy. The sauce for the flounder was so yummy i had to take my bread to soak up the rest of it.. We also had a ribeye ordered it medium came out perfect the seasoning was subtle but right on point . Had the peach cheesecake tasted like peach cobbler yummy. Only complaint it appeared to have been frozen and not defrosted enough. Felt like I was trying to cut a hard stick of butter. The waitress apologized but not her fault but nice to apologize. Can't miss spot . Be sure to visit when you are In the area we will definitely be back read more

We had a chance to meet the chef as we were strolling down to the river walk so we made reservations for later that evening. The atmosphere was so nice inside. Mixed crowd, families celebrating, everyone dressed appropriately, plenty of travelers like ourselves who decided to stop in for GOOD food. They did not disappoint us! The portion sizes are very generous. The oxtails were seasoned well. I don't eat catfish, but it was delicious. The staff and owners were very hospitable. The live entertainment was definitely a crowd pleaser. We can't wait to drive back down to Albany. read more

The Flint - a colorful drink on a table in a restaurant - American Near Me - Albany, Georgia

The Flint was an exceptional restaurant in a rather unexceptional locale. The food was wonderful with definite highlights that made our entrees and vegetables a treat out of the ordinary. The service was top notch. Our servers was very friendly and attentive to our every need despite the restaurant being very busy. A nice touch was the owner coming over to chat and to make sure everything was OK. The ambience was nice - - well decorated, with dark wood paneling and dim lighting. It was just a little pricey, but worth it for a memorable experience. read more

Wow. From entry to exit, we were treated very well. My wife and I came for a date night. She's been before for business meetings and this was my first time. My wife had ribeye with baked potato and creamed spinach. I had the stuffed flounder with rice and broccoli. Both meals were very well made. We had the bourbon pecan tart and banana split cheesecake desserts. Mmm. It's my understanding it's a family owned and run business. They did it right here in Albany. Very proud to have The Flint in my backyard. We were served by Dareia and were very happy with her. read more

The Flint restaurant was Highly recommended by every person asked where to get a good meal in Albany followed by they are expensive for this area but it is worth it. I personally will pay for an amazing food experience and this place did not disappoint. From the second we were seated until we left we had a great time. Food,Drinks,People,and the vibe/atmosphere were second to none. We order the Cigar sticks and they were not just called that but handmade to resemble Cigars with an amazing crust and fried perfectly. We ordered the Stuffed Flounder, Lamb Chops, and the Ribeye steak. Flavor,temp and presentation were on point. Even the drinks were nice and tasty...... If you are looking for and upscale place with a welcoming vibe this is the spot for you. My Team and I Highly recommend this place and Shout out to Chef G keep up the outstanding work. read more

I had a really good meal at The Flint. The service was excellent. I ordered the snapper and it was delicious. The sweet chili sauce was perfect. Another person with my party had the lamb chops and said they were very good. Our sides and salads were all very tasty. This is a restaurant I will be returning to with pleasure. read more

Out of town for business & this restaurant was highly recommended. Beautiful interior, spotlessly clean & open space throughout. The gentleman who greeted us and sat us at our table couldn't have been more welcoming & sincere. Little slow on service & the restaurant was not packed to cause delays. We ordered gator bites & fried shrimp. Gator bites hands down was the best. Ordered steak salad which was cooked well & yummy. I will return if back in the area. read more

In June, my wife and I went to The Flint for our anniversary. It was not our first time eating there. Because of our previous experience, we returned. However, on this day we were disappointed with the food and service. My wife's fish was overcooked and our dessert was thrown on the table as the waiter quickly rushed to another group. The restaurant appeared to be understaffed, as we were completely ignored by the waitstaff. For a $130.00 dollar meal for 2 in Albany, Ga, we expected, at a minimum, to get our drink glasses refilled in a timely manner. We expressed our disappointment to the waiter in a polite way, but only received excuses. We will not be going back. read more

I wish i could leave a negative 0! The food was very mediocre. I only ordered an appetizer and after that I decided, i didn't want anything else this establishment had to offer. The restaurant owner Glenn Singfield was extremely rude and unprofessional. This is a Black owned business that I DO NOT Recommend!!! I was served old, cold Mexican Street corn that clearly came from a bag, . The chopped salad was soggy, the lettuce was brown. Please DO NOT waste your time or money at this below average Restaurant!!! read more

From the moment we were greeted by the smiling hostess, it was a 5 star experience! The restaurant is beautiful. Clean. Comfortable. We sat at the bar and were once again greeted with a smile. Expertly crafted cocktails. Great menu suggestions. Excellent dinners. Arctic Char. Whole red snapper. The owner came over and introduced herself to us.(When is the last time that happened?! Seems like owners or managers don't do that anymore!) So friendly. She was genuinely interested in what brought us in. Family run business. Survived Covid and is thriving in the local community. Highly recommend that you try them out! Support Local Businesses!! read more

Great atmosphere very welcoming staff and excellent food. Every time I'm in town I make it a point to stop in fried green tomatoes. I've had anywhere I've gone. Give it a shot. You'll be happy you did. read more

I have to give this establishment a five stars. I wish I could give ten stars. The service was awesome, the setting was great and the food was beyond good. I am vegan and if you are ever in the Albany area please look them up. They had the best Vegan burger I have ever had. I wish this place was in VA . read more

The Flint - American Near Me - Albany, Georgia

i came to the restaurant for a ladies night and we were not disappointed. I had the best culinary experience I've had in a long time . I had the steak cooked medium well it was cooked to perfection . The drinks were beautifully crafted (and strong lol) . one of my friends had the whole fish ( i think I ate half of hers lol) everything was delicious! Lastly, I have to say the customer service was pretty good, the server regularly checked on us and was kind the entire time even though our group was pretty demanding . We will definitely visit when in town again ! read more

Already a fan of Chef G before I got here so let me just put that out there. When I tell you I have even MORE respect for this dude's talent and creativity I mean it. This is just what Albany needed. My first experience was for a birthday party so we ordered a lot of food. That being said I was able to try quite a few different things at once. Because I refuse to tell you all the things I ate just know we pretty much covered the menu. There wasn't anything any of us could complain about. The service was great as well. It's so nice when a chef/owner comes to the table to check on you and genuinely ask for your thoughts on the food. THEN his parents also walk around asking if they can do anything. It's an experience. Cannot wait to come back and see what new things he comes up with next! read more

Been here multiple times and always had a great experience! Tonight though! 10 out of 10! I had the Fried Red Snapper with a Sweet Chili sauce, Gouda cheese grits, and collard greens! WOW! Wife had stuffed Grouper OMG! Ask for Crickette her service is top notch! Ask he about the Cucumber Baby drink! Here is the icing on the cake! Live music that set the vibe! read more

I live in Atlanta, but the service (from Lakia) and food is one of the best Ive had. Kudos to the chef and owners.

When your in Albany, Georgia, and your hungry for good Southern cuisine the Flint is a must. Especially if you're staying at the Hilton Garden Inn downtown Albany, here on business or simply pleasure. The Flint is a short walk away from the Hilton Inn. The food is cooked and prepped with soul and care. The waitress, the cook, the owners were all wonderful. The attire is casual and there's plenty of parking. I had to explore their Oxtail dish and I'm so glad I did. The oxtails were flavorful, meaty, and incredibly tender. Being on a KETO diet they sautéed some spinach for me as a special side. It was really good! The classic potato soup is excellent down to the to the last drop. The Flint wings are great tasting, not over fried, and tender. Whether you live in Albany seeking good southern cuisine, or just seeking a place to eat that's family friendly, business meeting friendly, or for a romantic date night, or just a group of friends wanting to be together, The flint is a great place for good food, good drinks, at a great location. read more

Second visit in the year & just as classy & delicious as the first time. Tried the fried shrimp appetizer- to die for! Great size shrimp, lightly encrusted with a tasty sauce! The bartender, Athena, is terrific- she made me a ginger beer concoction with some citrus - delightful!! read more

The Flint offers fine dining paired with great service. My anniversary was made so much more memorable thanks to the romantic setting and that sweet singer they had for the evening. The arctic char and the stuffed flounder are my favorite, but I was very impressed with the red snapper as well. If you need a great date spot, the Flint is it. read more

Do not, I repeat do not patronize this business!!! My husband and I were told that the police would be called on us because their machine was clearly malfunctioning. My husband had the money in cash to pay for the ticket of $250 plus dollars, but the cash was for us to spend a night out on the town. We were clearly disrespected in so many ways by the owner of this establishment!! I am a wartime veteran and my husband a 20 year Marine veteran. I am a nurse and he is federal employee. To make us feel like we were there only to scam them was an absolute no go! I have never been so embarrassed in my life. I have had birthday parties here, and my husband has meetings here with his organization. I will never step foot back in The Flint again!!! The son did try to smooth things over, but the damage had already been done!! I will post this in every place I can!! Again, go somewhere else!!! read more

Delicious meal. I had the pork chop which was very tender. Service was awesome. I can't wait to go back.

This place is a 5 star restaurant! We were in town for just 1 night and found this restaurant thinking it has 4 stars should be good, Wow!!!! Great decor, family owned with the owner going table to table greeting guests, and the food was above and beyond any big city dining and the owners son was the executive chef who came by the table too. There was 4 of us and we all ordered different dishes and every dish was excellent! The wait staff was on top of their game, well trained. The atmosphere and music was awesome, I can't believe this restaurant is in downtown Albany, Georgia (5 minute walking distance from the Hilton Garden Inn). If you live in Albany, Georgia or going through Albany, please give this place a try, this kind of dining is something you would expect from Atlanta or New York City. read more

I visited The Flint last night for supper. We sat around the bar and enjoyed the goings on. Our waitress was very attentive and kept a close eye on us. I had the stuffed Flounder (stuffed with crab), with Gouda cheese grits and grilled asparagus. The flounder was outstanding. The grits were mind-blowing and the asparagus was the same. We enjoyed an IPA to wash it down and it The Flint was great ending to a very busy day. The atmosphere was fantastic and the setting is perfect. If you are in Albany, Georgia, make sure you visit, The Flint. read more

The food was delicious, and the entertainment was fantastic! We were visiting from out of town, and will return to the restaurant whenever we are in town. read more

When I saw, this is some fine dining coming from the African American community... I mean that. The food was amazing. The Georgia Peach Cocktail was sweet just like I like it. The lamb chops were full of flavor! The owner is also the chef so he puts his heart and soul into his food. I will be back next month! read more

The Flint - Lamb Chops and mac and cheese. - American Near Me - Albany, Georgia

The Flint. It's a good name. That's a good start. It's a good concept too. Where this place falls down is its service. Wait 30 minutes to put a drink order in. Wait 25 more for the drink. Martini comes out warm because it's been sitting at the bar for 20 minutes. Have you ever had a warm martini? It's gross. Is this place trying to make money? Or burn good will? Also, a martini is almost all gin. Why does it taste it almost like water? The food. Is good. But like is it Atlanta good? No. But is it Atlanta prices? Hell yes. Dishes tried: Waygu burger, fried catfish, greens, sea bass, artic char, fried shrimp. I'd avoid the sea bass and the shrimp. The burger is good but not 16 good. But it's better than what used to be in downtown Albany, thus 5 stars. read more

The Flint had potential, but unfortunately it has fallen under the Albany customer service curse. The hostess was not very friendly when we walked in for dinner, and did not say anything when we were leaving, nor did she offer to open the door when I was struggling to push my stroller and open the door at the same time. I know she had seen me because I passed right by her. We were with a large party so we were expecting the food to take a long time, but what I didn't expect was for half the table to be finished with their food before the other half even came out. It seemed like in the entire restaurant there were only two servers, which doesn't work when you are trying to bring out food for a large party. My husband ordered the Lamb which he said came out cold. He didn't want to send it back for another because most of the party was already done by the time his came out and he didn't want to wait around. He also had ordered a beer and was still waiting for it 30 minutes later. When they finally brought it out to the wrong person, he realized it was the wrong beer. If you are in the restaurant industry you should be checking things twice before they go out to customers. I ordered the chicken with mashed potatoes, but somehow ended up with spinach as a side which is on the opposite side of the food spectrum. The salad I ordered was supposed to come with the pickled okra but I never saw any in there. If we hadn't been with a large party then I probably would have said something but it seems like they were already stressed out and behind so I didn't want to make it worse. The bill for my husband and I was almost $100 with the automatic 25% gratuity, which I think is kind of crazy since the service was not on par with that number at all. Like I said, this restaurant has a lot of potential but they have a lot of kinks to work out. read more

The service that we received when walking in from the hostess, and then again at the bar made us turn around and go somewhere else. It was absolutely terrible. I don't think one person smiled at us. And the wine list was embarrassing. I hope they are able to get rid of the bad employees before they make a bad name for the restaurant. read more

When booking a large party, the hostess should inform the patron booking the reservation about how much the auto-gratuity is. A 25% auto-gratuity for a 10% tip service is baffling. The restaurant is located in downtown Albany, surrounded by a lot of shops that look like they're closing down. I obviously know Albany isn't Las Vegas, but even the highest upscale restaurant in Las Vegas doesn't charge 25% gratuity. The food one menu was alright. The fried chicken was plain. No condiments added into the sandwich to make it flavorful. The steak didn't come with any steak sauce or any sauce to give it any flavor. The Mac and Cheese was a bit running. And the mash potatoes was served cold. I'm not too sure if they're trying to go for an upscale restaurant but man, this place needs some work. read more

After seeing great rating here I gave it a try. It was a terrible experience. From the Hostess to the bus boy, no one knew their job or how to do it. Waitress did not know the menu or bar stock. Did not bring us silverware or salt and pepper. Did not check on us during meal. But the worst part was the food. Roast Chicken was burnt to a crisp and chokingly dry. Sides had little flavor. Prices were reasonable but food and service still resulted in over paying. read more

Glad to come home to a great steak place again!!! Absolutely love the location near the Flint River and close to Pretoria Fields (Skywater my favorite)! The food is absolutely amazing and check Facebook for opening and closing times! They are open tonight from 6pm-8pm... They have a full bar, and great customer service. The BLT (pork belly) was amazing! I highly recommend and look forward to coming back and visiting the aquarium! read more

After eating at chain restaurant for 2 weeks, finally I found an excellent local restaurant. Great and customer oriented service, clean and safe facility, great price for the quality food, excellent plate presentation, tasty food.... WOW ..... 10 out of 10 in each category. A Family owned restaurant that bring proud to all the associates. It is great to have a server who is always smiling and enjoying the job. This is one of the few restaurants at Albany that is "CUSTOMER ORIENTED" and makes you feel like home and your business been appreciated. Thanks for the experience. read more

Awesome!!! I had the vegan burger and I kept thinking it was ground beef. I dont know what the chef did (he said lectin?). However it was the bomb!!! The only drawback was I had to get it bunless because the bun has milk......go figure.... I would go back tho, maybe take my own bun...... my friends all enjoyed their food!! No pic... I ate it before thinking to post read more

Sat at the bar and food was late but Trent the bartender was great. He never complained about not having help just kept hustling back and forth. His service was great, food was decent but I blame management for not staffing correctly. A lot of people were waiting and not happy because there wasn't staff around to attend to their needs. Trent and a few other ladies for sure went above and beyond to service the whole bar areas and a wedding at the same time! Staff appropriately and this restaurant will have a better review from me. You profit when someone like me comes back by having more than enough staff to provide great service for customers! read more
