And it's worth the wait. The Poked Yolk is popular with the locals, and has an extensive menu (with full-service sit-down at tables, booths or the bar, along with take-out). The menu features a broad mix of breakfast, brunch and lunch offerings centered on comfort food with a few health-conscious options. Breakfast include classic egg plates, Benedicts, omelets, breakfast sandwiches, burritos and specialty dishes such as the Keto Hash, Crab Cake Benny and Jose Benny. Sweet breakfast selections include pancakes, waffles and French toast, with more indulgent options like White Chocolate Raspberry Pancakes, Cookies & Cream Stuffed French Toast and banana-themed waffles. I was very fond of the basic breakfast, the waffle and the bacon, which appears to be more of the delicious center cut. Lunch offerings include burgers, grilled sandwiches, wraps and salads and signature items include the -- get this -- Pepperoni Jam Burger. Fascinating. There is also the Cuban Sami, Mediterranean Sami and Cali Chicken Club Wrap. Lighter options include veggie-focused omelets, salads and sandwiches. Overall, the restaurant emphasizes hearty portions, customizable breakfast favorites and twists on traditional American diner fare while offering vegetarian, lower-carb and lighter options for diverse preferences. And the service is kind and attentive. Highly recommend!

Charlie's is a bastion of community life as evidenced by the "round table " ( actually its rectangular and usually populated by the movers and shakers in town). Today was no exception! My Rick Special was delightful! It's 1/2 eggs Benedict with corned hash! Just wonderful! My better half ordered up a plate of scrambled eggs and diced ham. Equally delicious! They serve amazing lunches as well! If you're out visiting East Aurora as so many tourists do, take time to visit this gem!

Once again another amazing visit to this tucked away gem. If…read moreyou haven't come by now idk what you are waiting for. The staff's extremely friendly and helpful, and the best part of this visit, being seated in "the kitchen "..., trust me. Request seating there. The misses loved that rainbow sandwich, piled high once again and she said it was the same as the last time, we love consistency. The Reuben was thick and the bread was grilled to perfection. Kids chicken tenders... super crispy and the chicken was moist. My little yelper loved them. Now, this is one of the times where I'm conflicted. Chili is never the same, but when I get chili I envision thick, hearty and packed with flavor. This one was kinda watery, and a little on the bland side. I appreciate the meat chunk in it, but it's one of the rare times I was in the "meh" category. But overall, we really enjoyed our visit.

She took our order and we had our food within a short time. I ordered the Eggs-celent breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon, extra crispy hashbrowns and a biscuit. My husband ordered the eggs-celent breakfast with scrambled eggs, smoked sausage (which we specifically asked if it was spicy), home fries and a pancake. Then things took a turn. Our orders were mixed up...The order came out with the sausage on the hash-browns and the "bacon" and biscuit on the home fries. Not a big deal except the "bacon" was beyond burnt and was inedible. If I were a server I could not have served that to anyone. We swapped out ingredients so we each had what we ordered. The hashbrowns were extra crispy which was appreciated. Eggs were scrambled. The sausage looked great-but was spicy. Perhaps he got the chorizo instead of the smoked sausage. But who knows since the server did not return to the table. The pancake was good and the eggs were ok. The home fries and the hashbrowns both had some sort of funky seasoning on them but were cooked to our liking. We like to support local but we will think twice before returning here.

I arrived at 10:30 on Monday, and the place was packed. I was seated quickly and my drink order taken. The waitress told me all meals were available at all times; I wasn't restricted to breakfast at 10:30! My BLT arrived with amazing speed: The waitress explained the bacon was already ready for the breakfast orders. It was so good! Extra mayo, just as I had requested. Another touch I liked: My fries earned me a bottle of malt vinegar. Yes, chef! I wouldn't have known to ask for it if it hadn't arrived without my asking. The sole misfire was the coffee: it tasted burnt and bitter. I'd return for their extensive dinner menu: The portions were generous!

She did a really great job, but she was huffing and puffing a little bit. Our food was excellent. One of us had the papa Mike's burger and fries. It came with an over easy egg on top. Our little kid had a hotdog and fries. He's such a picky eater, I was thrilled that this time he found something other than chicken fingers and fries. Our growing boy is now eating man- size meals. Tonight he had a cheeseburger and fries. That burger was at least a half an inch thick. I had a souvlaki wrap. I really enjoyed it. It was way too much to eat so I brought half of it home. I always like my experience at uncle Joe, and I encourage others to give them a try as well

But we have noticed a definite change in the menu items, and no doubt it is an attempt to rescue the business' bottom line. The menu it self has shrunk considerably in recent months. Today I ordered the roast beef melt on sourdough sandwich. What I got was roast beef deli slices slathered in melted cheese and grilled sourdough. It wasn't that long ago when you ordered roast beef, you got something that was hand carved roast beef. I will be thinking twice about visiting Alton's in the future.

Today, we came in after the big breakfast rush, so there was plenty of comfortable seating throughout the restaurant. They have a specials menu that changes with the month. Everything on the menu is innovative, and an upgrade from whatever ordinary breakfast you're used to. Our waitress served up fresh hot mugs of coffee for us, and explained that their loyalty program was moving to a Phone app. Unfortunately, we would not be able to use our Wallet card which had three punches on it already. Today I ordered a Cali chicken club wrap, which was a very delicious mix, chopped chicken breast, romaine, wedges of avocado, and bacon with a nice ranch dressing, all in a soft tortilla wrap. For my side, I chose coleslaw. My food is so delicious, no complaints here. My handsome dining companion got the Pork Belly Hash with sweet potato tots, and two eggs OE and toast. I did sneak my fork across the table to grab a chunk of pork belly which made my eyes roll back into my head. My next bite was one of the deep fried sweet potato tots. Very delicious, but I can't make a habit out of anything deep fried anymore. All of this deliciousness came our way for under 40 bucks. Thankfully, we had a nice Christmas gift certificate from one of the grandkids. We do highly recommend any of the Poked Yolk locations.
