A few weeks back I found myself in downtown Albany looking for a good bite to eat, and wanted something different than the usual options that you find around Pearl Street and Broadway, so I decided to try this little place called McGeary’s Pub in 4 Clinton Square. The place is tiny, but it has a good laid-back atmosphere and the staff was extremely nice. I was glad that the dining area was in the back of the restaurant, separate from the bar, so the noise was dulled and created a classy restaurant ambiance.
I saw something that caught my eye on the menu titled “Big
Ass Burger” it was apparently a double decker burger that the waitress
described as “incredibly huge” and a classic at McGeary’s. Based on her
reaction I knew I had to try this burger, or at least see how big it is. With
surprisingly fast service on a Friday night, the burger came out quickly, and
by the looks of it I immediately understood where the name “Big Ass Burger”
came from. The burger was so huge the cook provided me with a steak knife to
cut it into sections in order to eat it.
The burger, living up to its name was also very satisfying, and probably
the juiciest burger I have ever eaten. The best part about the “Big Ass Burger”
is that you can add as many toppings to it as you would like, but I recommend
you do it cautiously since the burger is so gigantic you will most likely be
bringing half of it home with you.
Since it is a pub atmosphere their specialty is bar food,
but I did also try some of my friends fried chicken dinner, which was also
exceptionally delicious. If you are feeling in a daring mood to take on the
“Big Ass Burger” or just want a casual dinner with a few friends at a
reasonable price you should definitely stop by McGeary’s Pub the next time you
visit downtown Albany.
