Alton's Restaurant Elma Reviews
It was great, the food was so good!!¡ The waitresses was warm and friendly. Perfect for a date night. All around a great experience. We will definitely be going there again soon .
I really enjoy this place. Great food great atmosphere friendly staff. Their breakfasts are delicious but my favorite is their chicken souvlaki it’s fantastic.
Omg, went to dinner here last night and our server Andrea was an absolute DELIGHT. She was super engaging with our table from the get-go, and went above and beyond to give me extras when I told her how excited I was for them (that dill sauce!!). She singlehandedly turned our casual family dinner turn into a really lovely and memorable experience! Also, hats off to the chefs here! I live out-of-town but insist on going for chicken souvlaki every time I come back to visit, and it NEVER disappoints. It's one of the few meals I grew up loving and hasn't gone down in taste or quality since I was a kid. Thanks for staying true to your roots, Alton's!
Their all you can eat Sunday breakfast buffet is extremely reasonably priced. Two adults and an early teen for under $50 including tax. While they don't have a huge selection of buffet choices, all the food is really high quality. I eat a pure carnivore diet and went away fully satisfied. The staff are very pleasant. You know the buffet plates are clean when they are very warm. 😀 We even went on a Bills game Sunday. It was busy. But we were seated pretty quickly for as busy as they were. We will definitely be back.
We've been dining at Alton's since they opened at this location and have never had a bad experience whether it's dinner, baby showers, bridal showers, the food and service are always excellent. I just picked up a takeout order and there was a mix-up which to delayed the order 15 minutes. I wasn't upset and the manager thanked me for my patience. As I was walking to the car he jogged out to take an extra step to make it right. It certainly wasn't necessary but this is what separates a good business from a great business. If you haven't dined here yet, you certainly should.
' To die for.' My favorite dish is the open plate chicken souvlakia, and they also have an option for a wrap. French fries right on, to rave for more. Senior meals are offered and price for meals are a very reasonable price. Quick simple meal, sandwich, cheeseburger, soup, salads are delicious. And great desserts.
The food at Alton’s is always exceptional and reasonably priced. One of the absolute best values is the Sunday Buffett at $16.99 which is terrific. A good selection of breakfast and some lunch time selections along with toast, dessert and coffee. We have always had an excellent experience at Alton’s. The servers are all exceptional, food is great and the atmosphere is very welcoming. You can’t go wrong here!!!
I had the most wonderful Caesar salad here today. Mounds of romaine lettuce, tons of fresh parmesan cheese, more than enough dressing, croutons, with a grilled chicken breast cut up on top! It’s been two months since I went to Alton‘s and was shocked at what was served as a Caesar salad. I have deleted that review and created this one. Alton's, thank you so very, very much for listening to your to your customers reviews. I am thrilled with the new Caesar salad. Planning to return many times. Please see & zoom on picture!
We had a fantastic lunch at Alton’s as always! Typically we order salads for take out and they are always good, but we decided to dine in today. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Andrea was so kind and attentive throughout our lunch. Very pleasant experience overall!
Heading home from short vacation, looking for a family-style restaurant for dinner. Passed many chain restaurants until finally spotting this nice looking place with many cars in their lot - Alton's Restaurant. We were immediately greeted by a friendly hostess who led us to the outdoor seating area (our choice). The restaurant was busy, being a Friday, and there was plenty of staff working briskly to handle the customers' needs. Our server, Teddi, was fantastic! Though she was very busy handling multiple tables, she took the time to answer all of our questions, fully met all of our needs, and did it all with a very pleasant smile on her face. The menu had many selections and options. My wife and I shared the calamari appetizer and we each selected the fish fry entree which came with potato, coleslaw, and macaroni salad. Every bite was delicious. At many other places, items like coleslaw and mac salad can be bland and boring; not here! Each had a little something added that gave them a better flavor than you find at many restaurants. We were so glad to have come across this restaurant after passing by all of the chain places and pubs. If find yourself in the Elma area I highly recommend Alton's Restaurant.
Came here for breakfast with the family. The service was a little slow but it was pretty busy so I won't hold that against them. Our server was wonderful and the food was delicious! We wandered around back and checked out the banquet facility and it is beautiful here! We will be coming back for sure

The lettuce on my greek salad was a little old. Most was rusty from being cut with a stainless steel knife, not plastic. It wasn't very pretty, but it was good.
Stopped and the way to the Bills game and was very surprised to see breakfast buffet and price was 17 I believe. Came with beverage, toast, meat, eggs and much much more. Good price and love a good buffet. Very happy man. Buffet was a little smallish, although it had all the essentials the line was busy due to the size of the buffet. Food was good, no compaints there. Just can't give it a 5 star but great value, good food and will be back.
We like Altons very much, (we were going there every 2 weeks), until food became lower quality. We figure there may be new kitchen staff, but they really have to make better salads (like before). Their "famous" open chicken souvlaki salad had become a pile of old lettuce, with less chicken. I would love to order it again, if it's back to normal. (Hint: Salads have VEGGIES, besides lettuce). And 'Greek salads' should have: black olives, red-onion, chickpeas, feta, tomatoe, green pepper) Ladies know & love salads. The staff at Alton's Elma are great, and we always tip well.
A local favorite. Food is decent. Nothing special but good for a breakfast. The salads are good too.
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.\nThere was…

Good restaurant but inferior chicken. This is a popular item in this restaurant so it should be returned to its original quality
Just ordered from the Elma location. We go there for takeout a lot. However, today, not only did they get one of my orders wrong, they left stuff out of my second order. I ordered a gyro wrap. They gave us chicken instead and no dressings with it. I ordered the lamp chop platter, which I always order, but they always miss something and it’s ALWAYS packaged differently and I never get a consistent amount. I ordered Greek potatoes as a side and I got two wedges. Plus, no pita or dressing. When someone orders only two items, it shouldn’t be that hard to get it right. Like most, I don’t have the time to drive home and discover that I just spent nearly $60 for two orders, only for them both to be wrong. Do better. You’re already expensive, so back up your prices with better service. Your food is always good, but there are other places.
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 i…
The service was great, ambiance was nice. Great menu with fair prices. Chicken quesadilla, chicken souvlaki, and hot roast beef sandwich all great choices.

Do better Alton's on Transit in Elma, we ordered a side of Greek potatoes at $5.99, it consisted of 3 potato wedges with seasoning. Save your money on this side dish

For the past few years, I have frequented Altons for pick up orders as they had good food for decent prices. Always tipped 10-20% even with them not waiting on me. A couple months ago I ordered a roast beef sandwich that their menu clearly states is served with french fries. I was disappointed to find my order came with no fries. When I called them to ask why, the girl told me that “we don’t give fries unless you ask for them.” They charged me the same price as was on the menu and kept the fries. This is a pretty interesting way to save money for a restaurant of Alton’s caliber. I asked the girl to have a manger call me to inquire about this policy and a refund for the fries. No one called for a month. I called again to ask the manager about this policy and for a refund for the fries. Still have not had a resolution. The manager is seldom in the restaraunt and is apparently a ghost. I just decided to try them again after months: lettuce, tomato, pickles were missing from a burger and they put 2 thin slices of turkey on a turkey sub.
Ordered a steak at this restaurant medium steak came out well done sent it back. Everyone I was with finished their meal. Another one came back the same way Notified the manager, he said he could not do nothing about it because it was a $20 steak and they won’t take that off the bill. He notified the owner who is in the kitchen. They said he would come out when he had time out of the hundreds of people, they take care of each day. They’re gonna have this much issue with a $12 piece of meat and make me sit there whenever everyone was done eating long ago now they’re waiting for me to see the owner who didn’t wanna come out right away. The manager says he was unable to take that off the bill. He was not authorized ever to do such a thing I mean what’s going on there the place is packed all the time bad service from the owner that says it all I would not recommend this place if he can’t resolve a $12 steak issue they were acting like it was hundreds and hundreds of dollars to remove that from the bill. I don’t recommend any senior citizens going there because you’ll get this kind of treatment. I’m sure they’ll have something totally different to say about this but this is the case that we experienced.
I spent $61.61 here on two chicken souvlaki salads that came with HAIR, BROWN LETTUCE, and the container was completely water logged. They also forgot my French fries and extra pita. This was truly a horrible experience and when I called they said they would “let someone know” Truly unbelievable.
Not fine dining but a consistently decent diner to get a bite. Today’s experience was darkened the protestors standing on the curb in front of the store. I realize Alton may not have anything to do with the protest, but it’s not a good for them - and they didn’t appear to be very concerned about it. I won’t eat there anymore.
