My husband ordered pancakes and eggs over easy. They were cooked perfectly and the pancakes were some of the best I have tasted in a long time. I ordered the pork tenderloin sandwich. It was pounded out and cooked fresh. The breading was crispy and well seasoned. It was double the size of the bun! This restaurant had a large selection and I would definitely like to come again to try more. :)

It took them a while to get things ready, a bit beyond the 4pm reservation I had. I think the prep…read moreshould have started earlier because the waitresses were running their butts off trying to get everything in place so myself and other diners could begin, all the while maintaining their composure and friendliness. The wait was worth it tho. The vegetable soup was very good and everything on the salad bar was fresh and a nice selection. The AYCE crabs legs are a bit pricey at $59.99 per person considering the size of the legs on the clusters are a little small. They are steamed perfectly and snapped open easily to remove the meat. I could detect a hint of lemon flavor in the crab meat and asked the waitress to check if the gentleman steaming them had added some lemon to the water and the answer was yes. I've never experienced that before and it was a really nice touch! An AYCE crab leg special is always something I watch for. Next time I'd choose a different reservation time tho.

Even though they were packed on a Tuesday at noon we were immediately greeted with a friend smile and we were seated right away. Just as soon as the tables cleared out, they were filling up again! Service was fast, friendly and attentive. Their menu is quite large and includes breakfast, lunch and dinner items. I enjoyed the country fried steak with country gravy. While the outside of this restaurant appears quite plain and unassuming. The inside is clean, cozy farmhouse atmosphere with comfortable booths and table options. They even have a large banquet room off the side that can be reserved for special events.

Entering The Ariston Cafe is a trip back to an earlier time. The entire decor is vintage and it is…read morewell maintained. It's a simple cafe with delicious food and it's served as if it is a white linen restaurant. Yep, all tables have white linen tablecloths and napkins. All the wait staff are wearing black slacks, white shirts with black ties and looking mighty fine. I happened to be visiting on a Sunday during Brunch hours. I'm typically not a buffet kinda guy, but I was today. I thought by doing the buffet, I'd be able to experience many of their different menu items all in my initial visit. After saying I wanted the buffet, my server brought me a clear chilled plate for the salad and soup bar, which was included with the buffet. She also gave me a warm dinner plate for the buffet line. As I dined, she checked with me and when needed she gave me a clean plate for my next trip through the line. The variety of foods were impressive. They had a section with all the typical breakfast foods; scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits & gravy and potatoes. It all looked good, but I focused on lunch items. My first trip through the line was, a HUGE fried chicken breast, green beans and mashed potatoes with white gravy. It was some of the best chicken I have had in a while. The seasoning was great, it was super crispy and crunchy and the meat was juicy. Their green beans were made from scratch with bacon and onions. The salt and pepper seasoning was just enough flavor. Then real mashed potatoes and a true country white gravy. I was satisfied with that plate alone, but went back to try more. Second trip I had Mostaccioli that tasted as if an Italian grandma had made it. It was super cheesy and the right amount of Italian seasoning. Then I had a couple Catfish Nuggets, General Tso's Nuggets, Mac-n-Cheese and Roast Beef. I was getting so full, I didn't even get anything from the soup and salad bar. I was seated close, so I did take a peak and it had a good variety of offerings. I'll be sure to try it on my next visit. My server was stellar. She was very attentive and friendly. I liked that the entire staff were dressed as if they were in a 50's diner or perhaps an upscale restaurant being the black & white. It's the Centennial Celebration of Route 66 this year. That should give you reason to go eat at the oldest restaurant on Route 66, which is The Ariston.

The sausage was bland, with a texture that reminded me of wet kibble. The biscuits were store bought and the gravy tasted like flour. Sorry, I wouldn't get that again for sure. The coffee was a little weak. The thing that really bothered me was the English muffins my wife had. They weren't toasted. They were grilled! Smashed on the grill. They tasted like everything that had been fried that day on the grill, mostly grease. Bleh . After having these there's no way I would order pancakes. The server was great. The atmosphere was nice. Very Christian decor. My wife liked her omelette. I won't get biscuits and gravy or any bread products from here again.
