From the cozy ambiance to the mouthwatering dishes, Novak's is a must-visit spot that will leave you feeling like part of the family.
We have been going to Novak's for decades, we travel from Eugene and Portland to meet up for family meals. Their food and service is great. They are only open on Thursday's and Friday's now but still worth the trip. We did the buffet for $49 perperson but you get an alcoholic beverage, plus your choice of appetizers and desserts on top of the unlimited entree options. It ends up being a great deal and you get to have a smorgasbord of all the menu items. Kids 4 and under get access to thebuffet for free. Everything is so yummy down to their house butter. The cabbage rolls, sausage, and chicken paprikas are sogood. They used to be located right off of I5 which was more convenient but now is in downtown Albany. The restaurant is cozybut cute. Always a good experience!
This place was absolutely wonderful. It is a family-owned establishment and the owners who served us were incredibly kind, welcoming, and excited about their food and the opportunity to serve us. My wife and I had a wonderful lunch date. We would comeback 100%. Be advised, their hours are limited, and a phone call for a reservation would be wise. That said, don't let it keepyou from going! They were welcoming to walk-ins! Do yourself a favor and enjoy a meal at Novak's!
I make it a point to drive well into Albany to this restaurant anytime they are open. Very authentic I understand and very good. When you enter, you instantly feel like you are among family. The staff are all friendly and social and care about yourexperience. They all make you feel at home and proudly share information about all the offerings. I had the buffet as it wasquicker and I really didn't know what I wanted to eat. I had a bit of everything and it was all good to great! Love this place,the owners and staff.
I volunteered with Hungarian orphans for almost a month after college and have very fond memories of that experience.
Excellent Hungarian food at Novak's! My favorite days to come here on on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays when they offer the buffet.
