Best vibes period music is on point if you like rock. The burgers are amazing and the best in Albany by far.

I only wish I had come here sooner. From the outside it looks like a small unassuming pub. They had some of the best burgers and fries I've ever had. Will definitely be coming back here again and introducing others to this place. Also, the drink cups are mini pitchers!

This place is my new "go to" place for a good burger! I had the loaded French fries and the big mac burger and I must say it was absolutely amazing the amount of food I got for my money and how good it was!

This place is a hole in the wall dive bar. Super suspect atmosphere, but their food is legit. Had the blackened chicken, with sauteed peppers and onions, American cheese, lettuce, and tomato- YUM. Not for those who don't like a little heat. My husband had a burger, which he really enjoyed. My kids had a chicken quesadilla and they loved it. We didn't eat there- not a place is like to stay but I'd order again.

The hubby and I enjoyed a great Sunday lunch at Build a Burger yesterday. A fun, "dive bar " type atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing (and delicious) Sunday date.We sat at the bar and our waitress (I feel terrible that I have forgotten her name) was so friendly and spunky, singing along to the music, answering our questions, and clearly loving her job.Now, onto the food. First off, we ordered Way Too Much. These portions are not to be taken lightly- they are serious portions for serious eaters. Mozzarella sticks were the only "regular" sized item (5, just about perfect for sharing). The loaded fries (see picture below) needed at least one other couple to help us finish them. So worth it though - gooey melted cheddar and lots of (really good) bacon, served with sour cream.Now, onto the burgers. We each had a sheet to fill out, checking off which toppings we would like to add as well as the temperature of our burger. This is also where you can select another protein (pulled pork or chicken for example). So many options!As soon as they arrived and were placed in front of us, I knew I was in trouble. I had eaten too much of the appetizers!Seriously, though, it was so good! Melted cheese, shredded lettuce, fried onions. The patty is thin - like a smash burger - so next time I would step down to medium from medium well, as it was still just a touch too done for me (totally my mistake though and didn't affect the experience at all).I travel a lot and haven't seen other places offering this unique customizable experience.Oh, and bonus, we paid in cash, so they gave us back $6 in "store cash" to use for food on our next visit.If you haven't been, I suggest you round up at least a few people to help share all off the food and try it out. I think Tuesday nights there might also be some kind of promotional mug night for drinks?Overall, I can't recommend this place enough!

I recently visited Build a Burger Club and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. While the exterior may not be fancy, the interior atmosphere and vibes are on point! The employees were friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming environment. And let’s talk about the burgers,they were absolutely delicious! I highly recommend visiting Build a Burger Club for a memorable dining experience that combines great food and a fantastic ambiance.

Came to the area on business trip and found this local pub. I'm always down for a burger. When I arrived the hostess/waitress was very welcoming. The music was alittle loud which made it hard to hear her.I was the only one there at the time. I ordered the special which was the double grilled cheese burger. Two grilled cheese sandwiches were the buns. Also ordered Buffalo chicken Mac & cheese. Overall really good experience.

I won’t lie… I was a little worried when we showed up but my were my expectations exceeded.This is the true definition of ‘Dive Bar’ and one that really stands out to me. The waitress was beyond kind and helpful, the food was fresh and tasty and the prices were just right.You can tell they still take pride in what they do, smelling the burgers being made while you wait and enjoy conversation with the locals.Go enjoy a burger, cold beer and a nice evening at this hidden gem outside of Albany. You won’t be disappointed.

Tried it for the first time tonight. Got it to go, not too bad. Fries were good, next time I think we will ask for them a bit more well done because we like them crispy 🙂 We will definitely be back!

Hole in the wall type of place, could definitely use a little tlc. Server/bartender was nice and attentive, no complaints. Burgers are huge, had to squish them down just to take a bite. I would say the burgers are a bit over priced tho. 50 bucks for 2 burgers, 1 beer, and 1 soft drink..(tip not included)Would I go again? Sure in the summer to enjoy outside seating.

Was in the area for a different purpose and it was well past lunch. The staff was really nice and accommodating. The food was what you would expect from the location. The burger was actually medium rare just as we ordered. Other reviews said things should be updated. Sometimes alls you need is a great burger for a good value.
