We were pleasantly surprisedly on the decor and ambiance of this restaurant. The staff is exceptional and were accommodating to our elderly mother which we greatly appreciated. Presentation was top notch and the food was delicious at a reasonable price. I only wish the biscuits were a softer but other than that everything was great and I would highly recommend this place to friends and family.

Tried this place on a whim while looking for somewhere to eat in the Albany area. The entire restaurant has a really cute theme, and the bar area is just beautiful. However, we thought some of the food was just okay, and maybe a little overpriced for what it was. The mac and cheese was pretty good though. Also, wish they had main-dish options besides salad for people who don't eat meat. All I could order was sides. (Parking in rear)

Fantastic food, in a cozy setting. Chicken and waffles were flavorful and absolutely perfect. Beautiful smoke ring and smokiness to the ribs. Grits with cheese were an excellent side that I would not usually order. Fried green tomato appetizer was excellent. Generous portions, and a lot of food for the price. Will be back next time I’m in Albany.

A delightfully refreshing brunch place. Service employees were well oiled and worked so well together it was like they were dancing as they ran around each other. The food was out of this world. The ambiance was magical. We cannot wait to return our better yet yet dinner. Parking: Parking is behind the building off Quail or street parking.

Loved this place a lot! Went with a few friends and their babies and we had a great time. The wait staff was so accommodating and were very attentive to our needs. Unique food combination were some of the best I've had in a while and decent sized brunch drinks. I will definitely be going back

Love the atmosphere of this restaurant!! And the food is even better! Came here for dinner and brunch before and only have positive things to say. The servers are always friendly and the food comes out quickly. The biscuits alone are reason to come!! If you are interested in getting a table on the weekend, definitely don't wait until the last minute to make a reservation!

Get the Mac n cheese!!! Short rib Benedict was good... slightly mushy waffle with all the sauce on it and the waffles with chicken sandwich was surprisingly a little bland and not cheesy at all. Got a side of the Mac which mDe me regret not getting the entree. Would definitely go back.

Really great southern restaurant. To be honest, when we drove up to what appeared to be a neighborhood restaurant, I was skeptical. Super creative menu and tasty drinks. Definitely would recommend!

Amazing!!! This place is such a hidden but non hidden jewel. I enjoyed every minute of our dinner here on a Friday night. We didn't have a reservation but we were greeted with a smile and seated right away. Atmosphere: This place is small but the atmosphere is very nice with a twist of homey & modern. Inside the restaurant was a bit chilly so we ended up dining outside. Both inside and outside seating had ample amount of seating and very nice. Staff: Everyone and I mean everyone was super friendly at this establishment. The hostess was sure to greet us with a smile and our server was just as friendly. Everyone seemed to help each other out and was quick to answer any questions and helped to make you feel welcomed. Food: This place doesn't have a huge menu but there is still plenty to choose from. I went with the salmon while my spouse went for the Nashville Chicken Sandwich. Everything was made fresh to order and was cooked to perfection. We also ordered a few drinks and they were just as tasteful as the food. Overall, I would recommend this place to any and everyone. I can't wait to be back in the area again do I can give this place another visit.

I have eaten at Cuckoo’s Nest many times and it never disappoints. Absolutely delicious brunch and dinner, every time. You cannot get a bad meal here - every menu option is delicious. I have had the fried green tomatoes, deviled eggs, chicken and waffles, the dad sandwich, eggs benedict, Nashville hot chicken sandwich, jambalaya, mac & cheese, and the hot chick soul bowl. Everything has been incredibly good every time. I highly recommend coming here for brunch or dinner. If you are into cocktails,they usually have a very good specialty list and I have tried a few which were of course … delicious! Service has always been very good as well.
