310 Eatery- LA Style Street Food — Restaurant in Albany

I saw all the great reviews on this place so I decided to try it out. The staffs are nice and friendly, but it was a bit shady. I ordered $7 Albany burger. The waitress lady went to the kitchen counter and came back.

She asked me, "Do you want grass fed beef or classic?" I asked her what the difference was. She replied, "One of them ate grass while alive and the other was eating grains and bad junk food." I took that as... do you want an unhealthy beef or cough up extra $$$ and get a healthy food? I just ordered $4 thai tea with the classic Albany burger which I was thinking it would cost $7. She went to the kitchen counter and came back again.

She asked me if I wanted cheese. I said, "sure." Then she asked me, "do you want eggs?" I asked her, "does it come with it?" She said I can customize my burger. I said, "ok." Then she asked me if I wanted grilled or raw onions. I said, "uhh grilled is fine."

She brought thai tea out. Again, very nice and friendly... I saw that it was on coca cola cup. When I pay $4, I expect at least to have glass or plastic cup. Not a paper cup that holds soda. That isn't a big deal.

I will tell you the reason why I am giving the rating I am giving... The burger was juicy, but it was super greasy. Grease was flooding the plate. It did taste pretty decent, but it felt very unhealthy. My body felt it not long after I finished the food. If I were to eat this burger from this place once a week or 2, I felt like I would get a heart attack within matter of few months.

Right before the check, it was nice for her to ask me if I wanted another thai tea refill on the house. I thanked her but refused the offer because thai tea was way too sweet. I know thai tea is a sweet drink, but this particular one tasted sweeter than the other thai teas I drink from other places.

When I got my bill, they added $1 for cheese, $1 for onions, $2 for eggs. Literally, the burger you pay for only comes with patty and a beef. I wish they were upfront about the charges. I suspected they may charge additional for eggs, but I did not expect them to charge additional for onions and cheese lol. She went about like "which do you?" rather than "these are additional costs, do you want them?" After all said and done, it was almost $19 for a burger and a thai tea.

Although they were nice, I left that place with bad taste in the mouth just because they weren't upfront about things. And my body is feeling all that "unhealthy beef" that was eating grains and junk food... all that grease...

I do regret coming here and won't be...

Woah! I was not prepared for how good this food was. At 12:30 on a Saturday, we were expecting a wait list, but they seated us as soon as we came in. They offered us water/coffee before we even sat down and were incredibly friendly throughout the entire meal. We started with an order of bacon jam fries. This was a huge mistake - not because they were bad (they were the perfect combination of sweet, salty, crunchy, and melty) - but because we had no idea we were about to be presented with a mountain of delicious food that would require all the real-estate our stomachs had prepared in anticipation of brunch. I had their Rich and Stuffy - a huge block of perfectly fried brioche stuffed with fruit and cream cheese (nice, almost savory cream cheese - not the sugary cheesecake stuff they serve at IHOP). It was served with a strawberry sauce on the side, which was good, but I hardly needed it - the whole beautiful block was topped with strawberries, blueberries, and golden kiwi, which the server explained to me is a bit sweeter than normal kiwi - either way, I LOVED it. My partner got the West Side Benny, which was probably the best take on Eggs Benedict I've had in a long time. In addition to their perfectly poached eggs (they were so soft that you could break them open by breathing on them too hard) and velvety, handmade Hollandaise, they set the whole thing on top of their house-brined pastrami (so good). But it gets even better - instead of an English muffin (which they do offer with their regular Bennedict), it's served on top of a savory, cheese (lightly) stuffed slice of FRENCH TOAST! You heard me. It's immaculate. Utter perfection. So stop whatever you're doing - put down whatever you're eating, and run here as fast as your legs will carry you. You'll need to work up an apatite if you want to have any chance...
