I came by for breakfast with my brother on a Wednesday morning. The restaurant was clean, and not too busy. My choice was scrambled eggs, homefries with onion, and canadian bacon, with wheat toast. The food was good and the portion ample. Our server was prompt and pleasant, and we had several coffee refills. Not a bad choice for breakfast. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Went here twice while staying in Buffalo. Breakfast only but the lunch and dinner menu was tempting. One day I had a traditional country omelette. Ham bacon, sausage, onions, peppers, and cheese as the menu says. Sides of home fries and toast. We told the waitress that we had an appointment and had to leave rather quickly, which I hate to do, but she responded professionally. Food was out in no time. We were thrilled with the meal. Plenty of time to eat, but we couldn't finish it all. Some actually went in the to go box and had next morning. Came back on the day we were leaving, I had the biscuit and gravy with scrambled eggs. In the photo the bacon I stole from my spouse. Once again, very warm service, excellent food. Menu says the place opened in the early 1980s, it has the ambience of an old time family restaurant. Just glad they can survive in today's economic conditions. I will definitely return next time I'm in Buffalo. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

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.

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

We usually go to Sheridan Family restaurant but they were closed until after Labor Day, so we finally tried Altons. I got the slouvlaki chicken wrap with fries. The chicken was very tender, there just wasn't much of it. I did not like the fries either, they were over cooked, but not crispy, almost flavorless. The waitress was the best part of my first experience. I wish I remember her name because she was awesome read more

Came to the Harlem Rd. location with my dad for a quick breakfast and we were not disappointed! We were greeted and seated immediately upon arrival and our waitress arrived shorty after and took our beverage orders first. She gave an appropriate amount of time for us to look over the menu before coming to take our orders. My dad ordered a pancake breakfast and I had a cheeseburger, fries and coleslaw. To say we received our meals in record time was an understatement! There was a decent sized crowd in the restaurant and we got our food, FAST! Piping hot and just delicious. My dad's pancakes were about the size of an adult human head, the eggs were airy and the bacon crispy. My cheeseburger was cooked well, my fries...hot, crispy and plentiful! The portion sizes were just right, so right I had to take a little nap when I got home. I'll be back soon! read more

Been here many times, but tonight flipped my stomach , I ordered the spaghetti & meatball which comes with Texas toast... I ate two forks full of spaghetti and cut the meatball and was ready to put some on the toast and UGH a hair was embedded in the toast... So disgusting... My stomach turned so did my wife's .. the waitress Olga took it in back and of course we wanted nothing else... She brings the bill and the food was taken off but we still were charged $7.70 for a half finished coffee & not even half my soft drink We were very surprised that we were expected to even pay for the drinks since after finding hair in our food we didn't trust anything coming from the kitchen. Not sure if this establishment uses hair nets but if not it's certainly time to protect the food & customers. read more

Stopped by for lunch and wasn't expecting much as I have been here before several years ago. I ordered the Cobb salad and when it came to the table was blown away. The size and the presentation was amazing. It was bursting with flavor. I'm not sure if everyone in the party enjoyed their food as much as me! I couldn't stop talking about it and heading there again for lunch in the upcoming weeks. It was busy but all the servers were pleasant. read more

I recently had lunch at Alton's and had their open chicken souvlaki.... Very delicious!! The chicken was tender and juicy and I love the spices they use on the souvlaki. The portions are quite generous and you can get dill or tzatziki sauce on the side. You also get a delicious potato on the side. Service was very friendly... shout out to Caroline who was very attentive and gave us excellent service with a smile! The place is fairly large, but busy at lunch time. Although I only waited about 5 minutes or so. They have tables or booths to sit at. Their menu is pretty extensive, but I always gravitate to the souvlaki because it is sooo good. I will definitely be back!! read more

Amazing service, we had a very large group and they served us timely. The restaurant is clean and roomy

This has always been one of my favorite restaurants to go to. You are sure to get enough food, and the service is excellent . Look at all that moist chicken.. this was my first time trying the stuffed hot peppers, and they were delicious. This is one of the places you take your out of town guests to. The restaurant and the bathroom are clean, and you get refills on your pop, I would recommend eating here. There are plenty of items on the menu read more

Great Greek food. One of the best in the area. Plenty of parking and pleasant service.

All the tasty Greek foods you know you want. All served by an expert wait staff. We were waited on by Barb, and she treated us like we were the only customers in the restaurant, and we were not. She always asked how we were doing, and if drinks needed to be refilled. Very friendly and quick to respond to our requests. Restaurant has been around a while, and it's good to see that it ain't going anywhere. Really enjoyed ourselves. Thanks. read more

The fish fry was not good at all! The fish was dry, the salads seemed like they came out of a tub. The tarter sauce tasted like mayonnaise. Spent 41.00 dollars on a tasteless meal. Would not recommend! read more

We came accross Alton's because of all the good yelp reviews. We were in town for a concert and it did not disappoint.

Went with some friends and I enjoyed my meal. Always appreciate a place I can get breakfast all day so Alton's hit the spot. My friends got few different things since they visitimg and wanted to try chicken Soulvaki. The gluten-free offerings were solid as well for someone in my party. Got some dessert as well to top off the meal and it was a good slice of pie. Oreo pie to be exact. read more

Highly recommended. Best place near Buffalo in my opinion. Bring a big appetite the portions are huge.

Sunday morning breakfast while on vacation is as important as football for me. So while in Buffalo I almost lost hope of this pastime tradition until I found "Alton's." Being this far north, breakfast was hard to come by. However on Yelp, a friend of mine, visited this restaurant so I figured, why not. We arrived pretty early, it was great the place opened at six in the morning. Coming inside, the place was pretty spacious and full of wooden trim. Seating was booths on the side and table and chairs in the middle. The waitress, slash, hostess, slash townie, helped us to our seat. She was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about Buffalo. Even though we were decked out in New York Giants gear, she knew what team we were rooting for (joke). After the conversation, we placed our order and she moved quick to get it in. Even quicker, was how fast it got to the table. It came out hot and ready. After which time we started to eat. That is where the success of this place is. The food was great! I enjoyed the home fries the most. Not to beat a dead horse, most restaurants don't make flavorful home fries, some restaurants give you potatoes and ketchup. Even the wheat bread was delicious. I completely would recommend this location to anyone visiting the area. However, you may disagree and enjoy the wait staff conversation more than the food. read more

I have enjoyed this diner for decades. The food is good, appropriately, priced, and always fresh ingredients. they keep your drinks filled. The menu was deep. This has a decidedly Greek theme, so there are all kinds of lamb entrées for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and everything else you might expect from a full-service diner. The portion sizes are large so you can expect to take home leftovers for the next day. read more
