    Alton's

    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.

    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.

    Open Chicken Souvlaki (Best seller)

    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

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Cheeseburger Deluxe
    Joycee W.

    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!

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

Because of our size and the small dining room, we were split between a couple of booths, which actually made sense. The food was excellent--French toast, biscuits and gravy, corned beef hash, breakfast wrap, and several omelets, all with great reviews from our group. There was a minor mix-up with the check, but the staff quickly fixed it and were very friendly about it. Great food, great service, and definitely worth the wait. We'd happily go back!

I asked the waitress if the cheese could be melted & was told there was really no way to do it. It could be put under a heat lamp but that would take some time.
