The restaurant opened in 1942 and has been operated by the same family ever since. The food is pretty good and the atmosphere is fine. The food is American fare for the most part. Its a good place to catch lunch or dinner. Prices are moderate and service was good on our visit.
The site has a rich history as well. From their webs site comes the following:
"Our Building was constructed around 1900. It was once a 40 room hotel upstairs and a Hotel Lobby/Restaurant and Bar on the ground floor. The famous Union Pacific train station building is across the street from our establishment. In 1942, James G. (Blackie) Kallas and James A. (Uncle Jim) Kallas opened the Albany Restaurant after remodeling and refurbishing the interior. Brothers, George Kallas and Gus Kallas are the current owners of the Albany, the sons of Blackie Kallas. At a very young age we worked in the family business starting as bus boys and dishwashers. Then, learned to wait tables and were taught proper food handling and old style cooking from our father and his excellent old school trained Greek and Hispanic chefs who were all immigrants and made Cheyenne their home.
The Albany has established a restaurant with a very loyal customer base. We employ a very experienced kitchen staff. We prepare all of our soups, sauces, gravies, salad dressings and lunch/dinner features from scratch. We cut all of our own steaks and chops. We roast all of our own meats. We buy and prepare only the freshest and finest ingredients available and use time tested and proven recipes developed by our family and staff. We are very proud of the quality of food we prepare and present. Great food, good portions, competitive prices, friendly service and real old style atmosphere you won't find anywhere else in Cheyenne.
Our Bar/Lounge is a very comfortable place to meet for drinks and food. Unlike some Bar/Restaurant combinations, you will find our prices very reasonable. We have 15 real cold draft beers on tap, a large selection of hard liquor to choose from, bottled beers and wine. It's a fun, relaxing place to be."
