Alton's
Diane H.

With fast and friendly service I received my cheese omlette. It included home fries and choice of toast and cheese and was tasty. Lots of choices on the menu can't wait to come back and try something new. Plenty of on site parking.

Took my son here before we went to the movies. We enjoyed our experience! It was busy, but we were seated immediately. Service was very friendly and food was good.

We were meeting friends late on a weeknight when we all realized we were hungry. Not knowing where to go, we decided to visit the one place we know is always open late, has reasonably priced items, and a variety. Also, they have a nice spread of breakfast items too! I wasn't very hungry so I ordered the soup and BLT. My wife and our friends all ordered breakfast items, from pancakes, eggs, etc. Altons isn't fancy, as it isn't meant to be fancy, but they have some decent decor, good service from the staff, reasonable items, and never a regret after visiting them. I find them to be a Cheektowaga classic, a not so hidden gem, and a business I hope lives on for a long long time.

Open Chicken Souvlaki (Best seller)
Phil W.

Alton's deserves all the praise they get. From extremely friendly staff , quick ticket times in the kitchen, and portions and flavor. They're a "Go to" establishment for us and I'm shocked I haven't left a review yet. The French toast breakfast didn't disappoint the misses with big slices, cooked perfectly, a side of nice fluffy eggs and some ham. A solid breakfast. The mother in law opted for the tuna sandwich which she told me was very good. And the star of the show was that open chicken souvlaki. Piled high chicken and vegetable. I just wish it came with a full pita and more of that amazing sauce. Definitely will be making another stop soon

Spinach dip
Jill K.

I'm always impressed when dining here. It's our go to when we need a last minute place to grab dinner. There is never a long wait, the staff are all very friendly, and the food is always served quickly. My favorite thing to order is the chicken finger sub because they always have the perfect balance of fingers to veggies. The sub is only served with a pickle though so you will need to order fries separately and should not skip this because their fries are really good! I also love the spinach dip appetizer because it is served with pita bread when most places serve it with tortilla chips. Bonus here is breakfast is served all day so if you feel like having pancakes for dinner, you're at the right place!

Greek Potatoes
Grace J.

The lore behind the diner is very interesting! It's an elevated atmosphere that is cozy in the winter time. Our waitress was very attentive to our orders and was very kind with her recommendations. We got the chicken souvlaki which was wonderful with a side of the Greek potatoes.

Ham  Sub - Whole
Nicole K.

It's a nice restaurant the staff is friendly and it's never a long wait to be seated. They have a nice back room for larger parties, I once came with 10-12 people. I like the pork chops they have always been cooked perfectly and friend keeps getting me to try the clam chowder soup it's only available on Fridays.

Chicken Souvlaki Breakfast
Susan N.

Cheap, no-frill casual breakfast place! There's always a wait but it typically goes by fast. My favorite is the chicken souvlaki breakfast which comes with chicken, two eggs, home fries, and toast. I've also had their Belgian waffle with strawberries. Overall, pretty standard but solid food!

Sausage Benedict
Sabra R.

Always a great breakfast with quick friendly service! Thought it would be too crowded by all the cars in lot but forgot how large this restaurant is! Got a table for two immediately. Will definitely be back again!

Michael R.

Once again Yelp comes through! I looked up Alton's and the first 5 reviews that came up were All 5 stars and all for the chicken souvlaki breakfast So we both got that! Now there are 2 more 5 stars for it and the restaurant! The chicken was awesome, cooked perfectly, tender, seasoned very deliciously! The eggs were cooked as ordered! Can't wait to return!

Marilyn W.

Went for lunch with a friend after a fun morning at Stiglmeier Park. We both had a wonderful salad- it was very tasty and filling. Our waitress was great! Highly recommend

Food was dry and flavorless. Outrageous prices. 55 dollars for a low level buffet. The food was sitting out forever. Not worth the money.

North Buffalo, Hertel Avenue

It's a shame we haven't been here before but that's definitely going to change moving forward…read more Walking in to that beautiful restaurant we were greeted like we have been lifelong patrons of this establishment. That treatment carried on with the staff being so incredibly attentive and polite, our waiter may very well be the best I've had in a long time. He had our drink request in no time and shortly afterwards he was back for our meal requests. The misses wanted to try something outside the usual and ordered the eggs Benedict. While not her usual choice they were cooked perfectly and the portion was very generous. The little yelper ordered the usual chicken tenders, they were cooked to perfection as were the fries.They got a big thumbs up from her. I got the chicken souvlaki salad, a heaping bowl of fresh veggies , feta and grilled chicken (a very generous amount of it too I may add). I literally had 3 meals off of this today. The whole wheat pita and Tzatziki were some of the best I've had in a longtime. Im looking forward to coming back again soon to try more of their menu

I wanted to give another review because I've been to Kostas a few times since my last review and…read moreI've had good experiences. Food is always consistently good, my go to is the open chicken souvlaki salad and the chicken is always seasoned well, loads of feta cheese and fresh lettuce. The steak and eggs breakfast is always good too. This place is always busy, the servers are great and everyone is nice. Parking is the only issue here, I park around the corner and enjoy a little walk, good to get those steps in especially after a meal anyway. Calling ahead is highly recommended. I like sitting in the indoor patio area to soak in some sun and watch people walking by.

Oh my goodness. This meal was not only very good, but incredibly generous. I have not been to…read moreApollo before, so had no idea what to expect even after looking at the menu on line. I opted for the breakfast souvlaki with chicken. It comes with home fries. I was asked if I wanted onions in the potatoes. Absolutely yes. So many restaurants do not add onions or charge extra for some to be added. It was a very generous and nicely seasoned portion of potatoes. Eggs, how do you want them? Sunny-side up, please. 2 very nice sunny side up eggs. Pita or some other bread. I picked pita. A nice large one was served along side my lunch. Then there's the chicken. It was beautifully seasoned, all 5 pieces. Yes, 5 pieces and not "tenders". Each piece was approximately 1/2 a boneless breast. Our waitress was very attentive, asking a couple of times whether we were enjoying our meals. You do have to be prepared with cash. Cash or checks only; no credit cards.

My first visit here. It is a popular lunch spot, the parking lot was almost full when we arrived…read more Plenty of choices on their menu, including all day breakfast. I choose the souvlaki breakfast with beef. Marinated chunks of beef, 2 fried eggs (I had sunny side up), homefries with onions and pita. It was a generous serving, I took some home fries home. The beef was medium rate, as requested, and very tasty. I was a bit surprised about the amount of meat on the dish. My wife had the breakfast with chicken and had a lot more meat than my dish. I'm not complaining, I had more than enough meat, but there was a significant difference. Our waitress was attentive.
