I had to look back and see my last review for Alton's, and it's been about eight months since we stopped in here. Right away, I noticed that there was a fresher look to the decor, and had heard that there had been some improvements made to the decor. Other reviewers, most recently had said that they were sadly disappointed with Alton's, so I was curious to see if we would notice anything different. After all , Alton's has been our favorite place for a very, very long time. When we arrived, we were escorted to a very nice little booth, and we began to study the menus. My choice would be the sausage gravy, egg and biscuit breakfast. As memory serves, this was one of my favorite breakfasts. Now I'm an elderly lady, so maybe my memory is not the best, but I recall that this breakfast came with a sausage patty. That was not the case today. I was emotionally shaken by the news, and I ate my meal with a little concealed disappointment. My dining companion had a similar experience with his Philly cheesesteak sandwich. The hoagie roll itself was delicious, fresh, and tasty. It was minimally covered with what appeared to be thin slices of roast beef, a little dried out. The cheese was not the luxurious slathering of cheese product that we are used to, but instead was two slices of American cheese. He felt as though they were cutting costs on his sandwich. Well, we tried to salvage the whole experience by ordering up a slice of orange phyllo cake to-go, which was slathered in a orange liquor. We didn't open it until we got home, and were very surprised that it was about the size of a little Debbie cake. So I'm gonna drop my rating to three stars in the hopes that things are better in the future. read more

Gathered with 3 friends; we hadn't seen each other in some time. We weren't in the main dining area, which worked very well for us. It was quieter, and we had more privacy. We stayed for hours! no rush on the part of the waitress, who actually went off duty before we left. We were assured our tip for her would be put in an envelope and held for her. I ordered beef, which i almost never eat, from the senior menu: 8oz. charbroiled angus strip steak, served with vegetable and choice of potato $16.99. steak was cooked perfectly (medium rare), veggie was green beans (fresh and nicely seasoned) and of the many potato selections, roasted red potatoes. One friend had an open souvlaki, the other 2 had greek salads; all were delicious. Alton's never disappoints! read more

Saturday morning about10:30am. Had a short wait which is usual as I frequent this establishment at least twice a month. Hostess is very amiable directed us to our table. The waitress was very cheerful and right there with a huge smile. Brought us our coffee and we were ready to order. All breakfast items are delicious and large portions. Mom had a Belgian waffle. The look on her face when it arrived was all you needed to know that breakfast was going to be awesome. Prices are very reasonable, portions are big, and service is outstanding! read more

Our review is for the Sunday brunch. It was great with a great spread and availability of foods for only 18.99 for adults. That's hard to beat! We ate plenty and were good for the day for a great value haha. Our waitress was very sweet and visited us a lot. The brunch buffet includes tea coffee and a variety of juices along with it so you get a savings there too. There's tons of parking and tables since the open up the back events area but it can be really busy when a church let's out or a large group shows up so be aware of that. read more

Quick, clean, and cheerful. Huge parking lot, spotless restrooms, and anytime after nine am it's packed. If you eat eggs, it's vegetarian friendly. Daily specials, full coffee bar, and the noise level is average for the size of the room. In good weather, there's a covered patio with ten tables. These are a great spot to sit and unwind with a friend. read more

I went to Altons for breakfast today with my friend Joe. I had the Altons special breakfast and it was great. As far as I'm concerned Altons is always spot on no matter what I order. The cleanliness of the restaurant to the food and even the price point. Also the service is fast , friendly and professional, Michelle waited on this morning and she as always does a fantastic job. If you haven't been here I recommend it you will love it and don't forget to ask for Michelle. read more

Great diner with a Greek flair. I loved my gyro wrap - it was quite big and served with lots of fries. Had the dill sauce on the side for dipping. Yum! It was sweet of the server to have the cooks split the sampler platter evenly on two plates so that my daughter and her friend could have their own portion. Looking forward to coming back to try some more Greek dishes. FYI - there's plenty of parking and a nice area to sit to wait for a table if it's during a meal time rush. read more

My wife and I have been going to Alton's for more than 30 years. First on Walden Ave and for the last 20 yrs, to the Elma, Transit Rd location. For a moment I thought I could not have been more disappointed in the food that I was served. I was so wrong! I am even more disappointed in the response from the "Shift Supervisor" (after I requested to speak with the manager). "The owner is buying the smaller chicken that is more tender" I agree the smaller chicken breast pieces are very tender when you are served those. As you can see what I was served LITERALLY should have never left the kitchen and if I was the"Shift Supervisor" called to handle this matter I would have assured the customer that this was not acceptable and would address the matter with the kitchen and wait staff! AND in my day the meal would have been comped also. Sorry, not sorry at all, just dating myself. As I sat there trying to maintain at least a minimum of my composure. I yet again stated that the chicken in my salad was unacceptable. She offered to have more chicken delivered as drolly as possible, implying that you have no clue how many of the rubes o.Ops our costumers would accept what I was served! Let me repeat that for you in all capitals! YOU HAVE NO CLUE HOW MANY OF THE RUBES I WAS SERVED! Alton's did reply to the Google review Response from the owner 8 hours ago Hi Timothy, We value all customer feedback and strive to provide the best possible dining experience. We apologize for falling short of your expectations and will use your comments to improve our service and quality. Please be assured that we valued all our guests and thank you for your continued patronage over the years. I do thank you for a reply. NOT GOOD ENOUGH! UP YOUR GAME! I am adding a picture of a $15.99 Caesar Salad with Chicken from one of your competitors. A breast and a half grilled chicken on top of twice the amount of romaine lettuce, slathered in Caesar dressing & copious amounts of Parmesan cheese. Alton's you spent ton's on the refurbish but are now going to lose loyal customers due to .... I'll call it what it is Short Changing The Customer! Open and then Zoom in on these pictures!!! read more

Food was terrible ordered a steak medium came out burnt sent it back came out 20 minutes later everyone's done eating. I was still waiting for my food and the steak was overcooked again told the manager said he couldn't do anything about it. The owner was in the kitchen. He'd be out in a few minutes. 10 minutes later no owner full charge for the meal and terrible service. If that's how you treat senior citizens I could imagine how you treat everyone else highly don't recommend this place they do volume and quality doesn't matter. Just get the people in and get them out. That's all they care about. I guess they own another restaurant I've heard the same thing about it. I actually went to a banquet at one of the other ones and it was terrible also one star rating if that. read more

I had the chicken souvlaki. The nicely seasoned chicken strips were accompanied by a Greek salad and a piece of pita. There was also a small side container with a dipping dill sauce. There was a very generous amount of chicken. I would have liked a bit more of the dill sauce as put some on my salad and some on the chicken strips. Our waitress was very attentive, without being overbearing. This is a family restaurant. There are a lot of rooms so the noise level is not obnoxious as could be the case with a wide open room for nearly everyone. read more

This is definitely the better option of the 2 Alton's restaurants. This space is much bigger and I think the service is better too. Today I went for a classic open beef souvlaki. Everything was absolutely delicious and I wouldn't change a thing. The beef was tender and cooked perfectly! Very nicely done. We also decided to try the gyro to see if the beef tasted differently. The gyro tasted more like Italian sausage or something more seasoned. The gyro was in a quesadilla which was good with all of the flavors but I preferred the beef souvlaki over everything. Overall- come here if you're looking for good Greek food and wonderful service. read more

Pulled into their very full parking lot today and honestly expected service to be slow simply because of the amount of customers. Well was I wrong! Server came over right after we were seated and took our drink orders 2 coffees and a raspberry tea. Then took our food orders once those were delivered. Both my friends ordered the spinach and feta omelet. I actually was going to get the same but then decided to try something different, the breakfast melt. It included scrambled eggs, cheese, turkey, and bacon on a nicely toasted sandwich. My home fries were a bit disappointing. They were dry and very bland. Could definitely have used maybe some salt and pepper and perhaps onions. The sandwich made up for it though. Very tasty. Both friends seemed to enjoy their omelets. Best of all was the service. Fast and friendly with many offers on coffee refills and general follow-up. Overall good meal. Maybe next time I'll venture away from the all day breakfast menu. 2021-192 read more

I'm definitely a breakfast person, but most days I don't enjoy waking up early and getting breakfast between the designated times most restaurants serve it at. So, I guess I'm just a brunch person. My friend and I met at Alton's around 11am on a Sunday. The parking lot was completely full and I pulled in at the right time and secured a spot. While waiting in my car, I watched some people fight over a parking spot. I walked into Alton's to give them my name and there were people everywhere. They were seating people pretty quickly, though. I know many COVID restrictions were lifted, but I am still wearing a mask and trying to social distance. I have been trying to social distance all of my life, though. They do have separators between the booths, which was nice. We were seated after about waiting 20 minutes, which wasn't bad. Our server was extremely friendly and attentive. I wish I got her name, but I wasn't on my "A" game apparently. I ordered the corned beef hash with scrambled eggs and sour dough. I asked for orange marmalade jelly because the container of jelly is no longer at the table. My meal was delicious, as usual. I rarely divert from the corned beef hash when I go out for breakfast. My friend enjoyed her omelet. Apparently her and I are both creatures of habit and we always get the same thing even though we need some more time to look over the menu. We like options, but we also like the comfort of knowing what we want and like. I missed drinking cups and cups of of coffee out, and had my fill at Alton's. read more

Stopped here for dinner on a Tuesday during phase three reopening from Covid 19. They don't take reservations but we got a table on the patio without any wait. They have a modest alcohol selection and we ordered glasses of wine which were served promptly. I ordered a gyro salad and it was large and fresh. Their gyro contains only beef. Also had a slice of coconut creme pie which was tasty. Some of the ten tables on the patio were closer than the six feet required. They were all eventually occupied. Wouldn't hesitate to return for a light meal. read more

Decent place to eat. I personally enjoy their French onion soup, chicken souvlaki and hot chicken fingers. They used to have the most amazing, HUGE clamari but I haven't seen that on the menu in quite some time. Also a great place to go for breakfast though you have a 50/50 chance of having an overcooked egg. Great for a cheap family meal, not great for dates or happy hour. read more

Alton's has the best Chicken Souvlaki in the area. My only issue is that I tried to place and order today (October 24th) and the phone kept ringing and ringing. I thought perhaps they were having issues with the phone. I drove from Downtown Buffalo to Elma to see a sign "Closed Due for Remodeling". I suggest that you have some type of voicemail message letting customers know. read more

I came here with a few friends almost a week ago. I've been here many times over the years. A great thing to order here is the open chicken souvlaki. I had a chicken souvlaki melt. It was good. The coffee and service were okay. I started my meal with a crock of French onion soup. It was fantastic!!!! It had parmesan cheese on top. I loved it and would definitely order it again. read more

Everything was amazing. From the service to the house specialty lamb chops. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely go back!

I don't know how I haven't reviewed this Southtowns staple yet! I've gone to Alton's several times over the years and I've always had wonderful experiences. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they have an ample selection of appetizers, sandwiches, and entrees that'll make everyone in your party happy. My boyfriend and I have gone here for breakfast many times and we've never experienced more than a 10 minute wait, a rarity for the weekend brunch hours. I always get their eggs and toast because it fills me up and is so delicious! My pro tip is to order their chicken souvlaki wrap when you get a chance. Everything about it is amazing. The pita wrap, fresh vegetables, and the chicken make for a perfect lunchtime option. Don't sleep on Alton's! read more

Yummy spur of the moment breakfast stop. I can't remember the last tim I was there but during covid times, I found visit to be great. They have an outdoor patio in addition to several inside dining rooms. We opted for inside, no wait. Menus dropped. Drinks served quickly and kept coming. Delicious fresh coffee. They had just the breakfast I was craving. Scrambled eggs with cheese, sausage patties, homefries with onion and well done rye toast. Ahhhh yum! It would have been a fiver if the server would have given us the choice of touchless menus. We weren't informed and just happened to notice after the fact the table tent advertising the scan code for it. That was frustrating. I also would have preferred cheddar in my eggs instead of American slices on top. Next time I'll know to specify. read more

Went here for late lunch with girlfriends. Comfortable setting, clean and bright. Friendly, welcoming staff and delicious food, plus reasonable prices.

Some of us took home partial meals for later. read more

A local favorite. Food is decent. Nothing special but good for a breakfast. The salads are good too.

My friend took her two cousins to the Alton's in Cheektowaga for breakfast. When she paid the bill , she gave a young 21 year old 100.00 bill and the bill was 50.48. She had no change so she gave her a 1.00 bill so she can get an even 50.00 bill back. The girl lied and said she only gave her a 50.00 bill. She's told the managers and they ignored her calls. Her cousin was right next to her and knew she had given the young lady 100.00 bill. I told her to call Al Vaughters and have them check the cameras. How dare they take advantage of a retired women... Please stop coming here. They have no regard for the elderly... read more

Normally love this place but tonight my husband ordered one of his favorites, Sea Bass which is a relatively new menu item. For $22.95, we did not expect to get a herb buttered and pan fried piece of talapia. Once it was laid before him, we both recalled this happening before when he ordered the sea bass. At that time he questioned the waitress about the fish's identity and was told "that's our Sea Bass". Hence, do not order the menu item labeled Sea Bass unless you like talapia and are good with paying $22.95 for it. read more

If I could put no stars, I would. I took my mom here for Mother's Day and called ahead and was told it was in the banquet room. Since we're four, they forced us to eat in a restaurant, which is not what I was told. Extremely disappointed. I would have been better off taking my mother and family to a Dennys than this. At least they aren't misleading! Rudest staff and you could get better service at the soup line. The place needs serious renovation, especially the restaurant. And to the rudest hostess, WYN, the short blond with the ponytail, I hope you get a lesson on how to treat people. read more
