About
Wizard Burger
Welcome to Wizard Burger, a vibrant culinary gem located at 74 N Pearl St, Albany, NY. As a food reviewer for Foodjoyy, I’m thrilled to delve into this innovative eatery that transforms the perception of plant-based dining.
Wizard Burger isn’t just a regular burger joint; it's a magical haven for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. Though entirely vegan, the menu invites even the most steadfast meat lovers to indulge without compromise. Patrons like Shawn Tedrow rave about the authentic flavors that bring back nostalgic burger memories. His experience with the “WIZARD WAY”—featuring double the protein and fillings—captures the essence of what makes this place special. It's deliciously reminiscent of classic burgers, complete with melty cheese and savory toppings.
The spotlight on the menu is undeniably the vegan burger, a testament to the culinary creativity that defines Wizard Burger. Charisse Abellard-Knight’s experience with the “Impossible Burger” further emphasizes the eatery's commitment to deliciousness, stating that despite its vegan identity, it delivers on taste. The fried pickles, which she found amazing, add an exciting deep-fried crunch that complements the burger experience wonderfully.
Diners can also explore options like burritos and the Chick'n sandwiches, which, although varied in reception, showcase the range Wizard Burger offers. Despite a few perceived saltiness, Dzina reminds us of the generous portion sizes and the appealing ambiance that enhances the dining experience. And for those who appreciate a casual outdoor dining option, Wizard Burger provides that as well.
What truly sets Wizard Burger apart is not just the food but the spirit of the place. Many customers, including the enthusiastic Catmasterfunk, express sheer joy with dishes like the Chick'n Caesar wrap and their renowned milkshakes. The consistent praise for the staff's warmth and attentiveness adds to the overall experience, making every visit a delightful occasion. As one customer would attest, it’s a place where every bite can elicit actual tears of joy—it’s that good!
If you find yourself in Albany, make it a point to visit Wizard Burger. With its scrumptious offerings and inviting atmosphere, it’s a must-recommend stop for anyone seeking to enjoy flavorful and satisfying plant-based cuisine that defies expectations.

“ First thing, I’m vegetarian but I’m vegetarians, not a health nut. If that’s what you want, this isn’t the place. And that’s the best part! I remember being able to get a meaty burger with melty cheese, onions and bacon. But being vegetarian for over over a decade led me to think I’d never get that feeling again. I just had that feeling again! I got it the “WIZARD WAY” which was twice the protein and filings. No question, the best vegan burger I’ve ever had. And it brought me back to that old school burger taste and texture. My wife got the Chkn sandwich and she said the same! One of the best she’s ever had also in being vegetarian also. If you are looking for great flavor, filling portions without the feeling of eating “vegan” food, add this to your list! ”
“ Very good although pretty messy. Everything is vegan which could be important for some people to know. Fried pickles were amazing and the impossible burger I got was delicious. My husband didn't like the imitation chicken nearly as much as my burger. ”
“ Pretty good vegan food downtown Albany. Mostly burgers and burritos. Generous portions. My burrito was good but a bit too salty for my taste. There were no complaints from my non-vegan companion XD. The ambiance is pretty cool too. Their restroom situation is a bit of a nightmare since it’s inside of the adjacent hotel - bring your own tp just in case if you go haha. ”
“ Don’t let “plant based” turn you away. I am not a vegetarian and I liked it all the same. Quick service and reasonable prices. Outdoor seating is also available! ”
“ this review is long overdue. i've eaten wizard burger over a dozen times total now, both takeout & dining in, and quite literally never had a bad experience. Wizard Burger just *does not miss.* staff are all so chill & thoughtful. milkshakes go stupid, burgers are fire, fries always perfection, and the chick'n caesar wrap made me shed actual tears of joy (no exaggeration) everything is so delicious and well made that it easily outshines real meat & dairy products by miles. if i could leave a million stars i would. thank you so much ”
“ I am not a vegan, but decided to broaden my horizon and let me say I was THROUGHLY impressed. First bite to last bite "Wow!" At the time of this review, I've been 5 times now between dine in and take-out. I cannot stress this enough, WIZARD BURGER DON'T MISS! They have become a staple and a top contender when deciding where to enjoy a meal. Dine in atomoshere combined with the food makes you want to say " Bye Love you" on the way out. 15/10. I said what I said.Tell EVERYONE ”
“ This place rules! I found out about it because of the special collaboration they were doing with The Acacia Strain - The B’Dog Walker. It was delicious. I definitely want to go back next time I’m in Albany. ”
“ Holy magical wizard burger! Vegan or not you MUST try a burger from the wizards.. My experience started with the most welcoming host, Willow, whom had great suggestions amongst the menu. Willow crafted the BEST tasting strawberry Margarita that there ever was!! Our food was out within minutes and it tasted... O so good! Do yourself a favor and order the garlic parm fries! WE will be a regular customer! Thank you Willow & fellow Wizards for your excellent food, service & good vibes! ”
