Alton's Restaurant Buffalo Reviews
🍴Gyro and feta omelette with home fries and tzatziki BuffaliciousBites gives Alton's 5 stars!
Standard diner type atmosphere. Waitresses was great, food came out fast and exactly the way we ordered it. This is my favorite breakfast place when I'm in the area.
This location has a very homey, old-school diner feel that is very clean and relaxed. The service was prompt, polite and professional while my meal was very tasty and I received it quickly. Would recommend.
Restaurant was very busy but wait was short. Waitress was courteous, friendly and quickly took our order. We stopped for breakfast. Food came out hot, was plentiful and very good. We would stop again and would recommend to others.
Sorry I didn't take photos but everything was great! First off, it's a pretty big place, but it had a relaxed ambience. The little Christmas trees decorated, along with all the other Christmas decorations were just right, not too much. Our wait was about 15 minutes. The waitress couldn't have treated us better. The coffee was great. 3 cups. The French onion soup was amazing. The chicken souvlaki was tender and turkey but on sourdough were big portions. Well worth it. It was my first time and came with my mom. Will definitely come again.
This was a great dining experience from beginning to end. We had no weight on an early Saturday dinner, we were sat and attended to quickly and efficiently. Our waitress was wonderfully friendly. Food was delicious, had the hot roast beef partner had the patty melt. Lots of choices. Enjoyed.
Voted best restaurant in 2015. The standards have not changed. The wait person was able to be flexible to work with my dietary restrictions. She was experienced and friendly. The service was quick and excellent. The place is very clean. The wait was about 10 minutes in spite of it being very busy.
Consistently Excellent – A Staple in Our Routine! This place is always hopping, and it’s easy to see why. The location is fantastic with ample parking, and the layout is well-designed for functionality, seating, and smooth movement throughout. The cleanliness is top-notch—they’re always making sure the floors are spotless, and everything is cleaned to perfection, if not better. The bathroom is also well-maintained and free of any dust or dirt, which is a big plus. The staff, from top to bottom, is incredibly well-mannered, kind, and attentive. The food never disappoints—at least not for me, or any family and friends I’ve brought along who now consider Alton’s a staple in their dining rotation. We’ve been coming here for years, and today we ordered the spinach feta omelet with crispy home fries with onions and rye toast, along with Alton’s Special breakfast (pancakes, eggs, and bacon). Both meals were excellent, as always. We’ll definitely continue enjoying Alton’s for years to come!
I had a fantastic experience at Alton’s Greek Restaurant! I was lucky enough to be helped by Danielle, who recommended a dish for me — and it turned out to be an amazing pick! The food was delicious, and you can really taste the care and tradition behind it. This place has been in business for over 40 years, and it shows in every detail, from the incredible flavors to the welcoming atmosphere. The decor has a charming old-style feel that makes you feel right at home, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. Highly recommend visiting if you’re looking for authentic Greek food and great service! Highly recommended!
Went a different way to head to my room and I came across this restaurant so I decided to try it out. I was not disappointed at all in no way. I sat at the bar looked over the menu and ordered the Red snapper, it came with chicken lemon soup. Everything was soooooooooo good. The service was A1 it wasn't just one person checking on me it was the whole staff that made sure I was good. Even tho I ate all my food I still ordered dessert now that put me over I needed a pillow after that. I got the turtle cheesecake Jesus take the wheel it was so so good. I'm yawning as I'm writing this post lol. I will for sure be going back here again.
We were traveling and stopped in for a brunch type meal while charging at the Tesla Supercharger approximately 1/2 mile away. Perfectly prepared breakfast, and my wife had a steak that was prepared exactly as requested. They were busy but not too busy and our server stopped and check on my coffee level at least 8 times in a 30 minute meal…excellent service and meal, we will be back!!!
Went here for our first time to have lunch. Seated promptly and waitress was very attentive. Brought over another drink when mine was getting low which I thought was great. Had the sampler platter for an appetizer. Nice spread but would have thought hot sauce for the fingers but I could have asked for that. Wife had the chicken supreme sandwich. She said it was very good. I ordered the patty melt. The meat was very tender and cooked properly. My complaint is any time I have ordered one there was ample amount of onions on the sandwich. Not sure if they forgot them but there weren't any onions on it. Overall we were happy with our meal.

I have celiac and love the choices. The chicken souvlaki dinner, or wrap are both excellent. Everything is homemade. They serve generous portions that are tasty.

Had a the cheeseburger supreme and added a over medium egg to it, very good!
Our experience with Alton's was that it was more of an American-Greek restuarant than a true Greek restaurant. We ordered the soulvaki and lamb chops medium, and they both came out closer to well done. Only one lamb chop had any pink. The peanut butter pie was reminiscent of something you would get out of the frozen section at a grocery store. If friends or family wanted to visit Alton's again, we would go. Otherwise, we will not be returning.
Service was excellent! I loved my meal and the food was fresh & hot! Staff was very friendly to talk to, felt almost like family or a friend you see on weekends! Would definitely recommend dining here for lunch or dinner. The atmosphere is very welcoming and feels like a local café.
It’s consistently ok to good, the food that is. The servers are mostly lifers that are at the top of their game, every shift. I’ve worked with ladies like this…some of the hardest working people you’ll ever meet. The decorating inside is a bit of throwback, reminds me of the old Holiday Showcase that was across the street from Putt-Putt. Get breakfast. 🍳
Alton’s is a classic great place for breakfast or brunch. Their Elma location we ate at is great for larger groups and has some flexible seating. I had the country omelet with home fries and toast. It was super good and had great value and food came out fast. Big fan of Alton’s will definitely be going back
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.

I only go to Alton's for breakfast and their hashbrowns ! Great omelet and hashbrowns!

Been patronizing this establishment for years, decided to drop in after not going there for about a year on a late evening mind you I called first and asked when did they stop seating. The gentleman on the phone told me at 10 I said oh ok because it says you close at 10 he said oh no we close at 11 but the last seating is 10:00pm which was also clearly on the door. My husband and I arrived at 9:38pm after a long day of work for a quick sandwich. So we walk in the owner or manager wasn’t too friendly I explained to her I called and the gentleman told us the last seating and call for food was 10pm and that you guys don’t close til 11pm. She was a bit rude and says let me go see if the chef is still serving then she comes back says a few words, gets 2 menus puts them on the table with a real hesitant/ rushing demeanor and unfriendly invitation. Now mind you she could have said no just come back tomorrow. Fast forward we order 2 sandwiches, I order a steak Philly and hot chocolate, My husband orders a barbecue chicken finger sub. Something quick and straight to the point! They come out with it my food is decent a bit well done but decent for a hungry gal but the extra sauce on the side, I asked for had some nasty brown pieces in it, I asked the waitress what was wrong with it she blew it off as nothing so I didn’t touch it no big deal sandwich I ate wasn’t the best but decent no fuss. However my husband sandwich was not made with decency it was slopped together. He said mayo, light lettuce. It had extra lettuce, some mayo and the chicken fingers were just put on the bread after the sauce was just poured directly on the bread, not mixed in. The sauce was just poured on making the bread soggy, the demenor was drenched in barbecue sauce, not made how we have had it made there so many times before. It was just carelessly tossed together. He took a bite and said something is off and decided not to eat the sandwich. We informed the waitress he wasn’t pleased with his meal. She asked if he wanted something else we replied no given the welcome we received in the first place and the fact it was already after 10 so he just requested they take it back and remove it from the bill. She went and informed the owner/ manager who I have interacted with many times before in a very friendly/pleasant manner, she comes over asked what was the reason because food prices are high which was rude as if our money also isn’t hard to come by. My husband didn’t say much other than I don’t like it but I gave her detail as she stood there with a very nasty demenor and very rude face. Her body language was rude as well, I simply let her know it wasn’t made correctly it was slopped together firstly the chicken fingers were not done enough, and the barbecue sauce was just poured on the bread and then the fingers were placed on top of it and it was covered in lettuce. Not tasty and poorly made. She didn’t say a word she just walked away as if she wasn’t satisfied with the response, mind you this would be our first time after spending hundreds maybe even thousands over the years at this establishment to ever complain about a dish. That’s was very rude! Then when we went to pay she was cold and very nasty still. I know it was long to read but needed to give insight on why I am posting this and why my family and I will not go back. It’s ok to have a bad day or to be mindful about food prices but customers that are regulars and or never gave you a problem before and spent plenty of money in your establishment you don’t treat that way. Just very nasty and rude! Very disappointing.
