The Flint

The Flint is a great spot located in downtown Albany. The space is stylish and clean, with a warm, welcoming vibe. The staff are friendly, helpful, and quick. The food is excellent, from the burgers to the seafood and meat dishes, everything is flavorful and well-prepared. The spinach dip is especially tasty and definitely worth trying. The drinks are also well crafted, and the background music, a mix of soul, funk, and R&B, sets a perfect mood for the evening. The only downside, unfortunately, is the location. While the restaurant itself is great, the surrounding area can feel a bit unsafe at times, depending on who’s around. That said, if you’re comfortable with the neighborhood, the dining experience at The Flint is definitely worth it. See you next time!

Our waiter Di’angelo was great! Very nice and attentive. The bartender however was a mess. After the third time our waiter went to get our drinks I heard him loudly say “you’ll just have to wait.” To Di’angelo (even though he had been waiting about 20 minutes for a few beers). The food was great though. This chef knows what he is doing and other than the wait on drinks it was a great experience.

Unfortunately I didn't take pictures. The food was excellent. I would come for just the wings. The lamb chops were superb and cooked to perfection. The dressing was excellent. The portion size was amazing. My sister rarely eats chicken but she loved the wings. I am originally from Albany but moved back to Georgia after 50 years. I will highly recommend the food and found the service to be excellent as well. The owners took time to come and talk with me. The experience all around was amazing@

food was delicious! i can’t recommend the potato soup & lamb chops more. The wine selections were great too, my server was very sweet. My only suggestion to the restaurant is to pay more attention at the front by the host stand when customers come in, because i was waiting for a while before i decided to wander in. I also feel like the presentation of the actual food could have been better, but the delicious taste is really what matters (& is most important!) For my first time in Albany, I’m glad i stopped by The Flint it was great!

Absolutely terrible experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was unwelcoming. We waited nearly 20 minutes to be seated, only to find dirty tables with crumbs and stains on the plates. When we pointed this out, the host made no effort to clean or replace them. The service was extremely unprofessional! We were never introduced to our server, and it took almost 50 minutes just to receive water. The other drink we ordered never arrived at all. After an hour of waiting and poor treatment, we decided to leave. Hoping for accountability, we spoke to the owner, who shockingly showed no concern. His exact words were, “What do you want me to do about it?” No apology, no attempt to make things right…just complete disregard for customer satisfaction. This was my first visit, and it
