    My husband took me to Better Bite this past week. He goes there with coworkers and always loves it. The place is way bigger inside than I imagined! And the outdoor covered patio is very nice.

    I ordered the Englishman which is the first "specialty sandwich" on the menu. It was huge! And each sandwich comes wth a choice of homemade coleslaw, macaroni salad, or potato salad. I chose coleslaw and it did not disappoint. Their menu is fairly large and the sandwich combinations are really unique. Looking forward to coming back here!

    I was at a conference nearby for 2 days and loved the food and friendly staff so much here that I decided to order breakfast and lunch here on both days. Very cute place, lots of different food options (including healthy juices and premium coffee beverages). The food is fresh... the menu is pretty extensive. They had salads, wraps, yummy sandwiches (breakfast and lunch), and various Mediterranean options on the menu. For coffee breaks, their coffee/ lattes were excellent.

    There is a seating area where you can have your meal. The establishment does get very busy between 12:30 and 1:00pm, but the staff was impressively able to handle the large volume.

    Highly recommended!

    Just realized today that I've checked in here 82 times and don't believe I've done a review.

    I usually get coffee but I have had a few food options. I do like there rueben's, french fries, breakfasts, breakfast sandwiches, and there muffins. Sometimes I get a bagel toasted which are ok.

    The biggest of my disappointments was once when I got a falafel platter. They were small nuggets as hard as rocks. I didn't like them at all. Hopefully, it was a mistake of the day.

    Since I work in the building I come here often, mostly for coffee like mentioned above.  I was surprised one weekend when I came in for brunch how great it was and they stepped up and used real utensils and had table service. On weekdays usually you order at the counter abd they call your number for pick up. Definitely would recommend brunch on the weekends.

    I guess they are popular for their potato salad but I tried it at our holiday party in the office and for me it wasn't a winner. It had peas in, not the problem. Too dry and lacking flavor for me.

    The prices are high for what you get but most options are tasty. Service is ok.

    Solid lunch. Fresh ingredients, fair prices, and excellent deli meats. I am not a huge fan of potato salad but their has just the perfect blend of spices and dressing. A great choice in downtown Albany.

    This place is absolutely garbage and the service was terrible . Nobody was smiling and everyone looked like they were miserable. I got the breaded chicken sandwich and it tasted like Jack-in-the-Box. I don't know how this place got its name but, the name DOSE NOT fit the food. Trust me on this one do not come here ever!
