Vegan high-calorie at its finest - Edit
I definitely want to come back. What fun vibes and my first burger with raspberry sauce on it for sure.

Wide variety of orbs - Edit
I came here to gaze at orbs and the selection was plentiful. There was no Minotaur in the labyrinth that lead to the bathroom so it has that going for it as well. Burger was solid.

Hell to the yes. - Edit
I've eaten an awful lot of vegan burgers in my 17 years of veganity, and let me tell you, Wizard Burger rocks HARD. Are they so rich that it's almost hard to finish a single burger? Yes. Is it incredible anyway? You betcha.

Perfect atmosphere and delicious food - Edit
I felt comfortable and at home the moment I walked in. From the music and decor to the proprietor and the quality food selection, everything was unreal. My daughter (3) also loved that there was a book at the free library that I could read to her while we waited for our dinner. I would find a way to detour from any road trip to be able to eat here again!
Read morePros: Great portions, Quality food, Nice vibe

Delicious - Edit
Have returned several times since the original review. We’ve come to really love Wizard Burger and all their delicious burgers and sides.
Read moreFood was good but we weren’t blown away. Everything was heavy so portions were good though I think burgers should come with fries. Chili cheese tots were delicious.

Wizard Burger has a great variety of options, whether you’re looking for something more classic or adventurous. We ordered takeout on our way through and tried the Orc Popper and Magicano burgers as well as their fried pickles and buffalo chik’n fries. All were delicious! Would love to visit again and dine in.

Wonderful Atmosphere, Wonderful Staff, Even Better Food - Edit
Took my family of five here for an early dinner. Son got the Second Bfast Burger and said it was the best burger he’s ever had. Wife and I split the Cowboy burrito and it was fantastic. Other two teens got the pulled pork fries and loved them. These guys know what they are doing. Don’t hesitate to visit. We’re making an extra stop here on our way out of town next week.

SO GOOD! - Edit
Was having a frustrating day and a burger from Wizard Birger might be turning it around! So good. I wish I lived close to here to try everything on the menu but the regular burger was amazing. So satisfying.

Really awesome - Edit
The Wiz Mac and breakfast burger were amazing (a little messy but so worth it!) we also got chickn n fries. with the sweet soy and honey mustard sauces, which were excellent! Portions were great, everything came out hot and fast, and there was a good amount of seating which rotates pretty quickly. Shakes were very good, but mostly tasted more vanilla-y than the flavors we got (chocolate and coffee).
Read morePros: Fast service, Delicious food, 100% vegan
Cons: Shakes could be more flavorful

Great chicken sandwich - Edit
We got a great chicken sandwich here and fries! Was a lot of food so we shared with two people. We ordered to go but it was really cute inside! They had some good looking specials on the board, too.

The perfect burger - Edit
You know the episode of How I Met Your Mother, when Marshall is looking for the best burger in New York? It's here. In Albany. In an amazing little shop with fun decor, cozy tables, a great beer list, and food that fills your heart with joy. I got the Orc Popper burger (The cream cheese and onion rings were PERFECTl), my husband the Wiz Mac which he got Wizard style and was a monster. It was INCREDIBLE. We also got the garlic parm fries as a side and have no regrets. The staff are incredibly friendly, the food is top notch, basically you can't go wrong. Plus it is all vegan? Yes please.

Really good - Edit
We went twice over the weekend as we were passing through on a small road trip. They were working off of a slightly limited menu, but still lots of options. Staff are super friendly and prices are very reasonable.
Read moreI got:
- Bilbo-q: very good bbq burger with crispy onions. I'm not the biggest fan of impossible but I didn't think to ask about subbing the first time.
- Second breakfast, sub the fried chick'n instead of impossible. Great, if messy, breakfast sandwich. Maple syrup, a hash brown patty, vegan egg and cheese.
- Garlic Parm fries & Chili cheese fries: the fries are perfectly made and both options for toppings were really good. The garlic mayo is fantastic 👌
- Chocolate shake: the shakes remind me a lot of Frosties where they're vanilla soft serve with the option to add flavors. The chocolate wasn't as rich because of that but it was still very good.
The only thing I didn't like wasn't their fault - the bathrooms are the building lobby bathrooms and they weren't well maintained.
Pros: Good food , Nice atmosphere , Good prices

Burgers, sandwiches, burritos, shakes, sides, and more - Edit
They have a great menu including burgers with all sorts of toppings, “chick’n” sandwiches, and other sandwiches; fries, tenders, tots, onion rings, and other sides; and shakes, ice cream floats, and sodas. They also recently added a variety of burritos to their menu, as Burrito Burrito, formerly a separate place in Troy, is now operating as part of Wizard Burger. They also serve alcohol.
Read moreThe decor is very fun and wizardly! I’ve always gotten takeout but it looks like there’s plenty of seating. A heads up, everything I’ve ordered here has been quite rich, so if you are sensitive to rich food, proceed with due caution!
They often have sweets there, also, from Bee’s Knees Treats, which are very tasty.

Delish burgers! - Edit
I was in Albany for a work trip and was so excited to see several vegan options near my hotel. I got a burger and the loaded chik’n tater tots and they were sooo good! Even my non vegan coworkers were raving about this place and the vegan bacon was a fav. 10/10 would go again if back in Albany!
Read morePros: Tastes and textures were great! , Impressed nonvegan friends , Very cool and unique atmosphere!

One of the best vegan spots in Albany, run by awesome people. - Edit
The dudes who brought us Burrito Burrito have outdone themselves again with this place. As with their burritos, the burgers here are huge and decadent with unique flavors.
