Best WLM Reviews

This used to be a go-to in my 20s and haven’t been here in ages.
Was scrolling for takeout that didn’t do just breakfast in the AM and stumbled on it.
Greatest decision. Their fries are fire. Especially with the dill sauce you can only seem to get at these kinds of restaurants.
Only thing that was a bummer I put in a request for the sauce in the sandwich to be left off and it wasn’t. But it was easy enough to scrape off
Overall I’m super pleased and this will feed me the next couple days.
Also want to say the hostess/server was amazing and very kind. I was there in 12/16 around 6:45am btw.
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.
Great service and amazing food. The salad was cold and fresh with delicious feta and the chicken souvlaki was hot, moist with a ton of flavor. All this at very reasonable prices.
I am truly baffled how the Walden location has the 4.5 star rating on Google. I went with a friend to get late breakfast on the Friday after Halloween at lunch time. Admittedly, the place was a lot busier than I thought it was going to be and they looked severely under staffed. I get it. Tbh I wanted to leave right then.. When we first came in we were completely ignored by the hostess for atleast 5 minutes when an other group of women came in they were immediately tended to and asked their name.. the guests had to tell the hostess we were actually there first and she agreed okay, lady.. first strike. We were eventually sat by an obviously frazzled, sad looking individual who promised to come back for our orders (took atleast 10mins). I looked at the Greek dressing on our table and the mini plate was FILTHY. There was legit dried pieces of feta and salad on it and the bottle was disgusting. It took FOREVER (24+mins) for a plate of eggs, potato’s, and pancakes to come out for us when other guests after us were being seated and served by the same waitress and receiving their full entrees before us.. when my friend looked down at her glass she noticed LIPSTICK on the rim (she wasn’t wearing any) and physically became nauseated. Our waitress interrupted our meal to ask for the Greek dressing off our table for the guest next to us , I looked at it and said go ahead, she looks at the plate and bottle seeing it’s obviously filthy and awkwardly took it to the line to wipe it off and change the plate before handing it to the table next to us.. she said NOTHING about the state of it. I was just laughing at this point. What a joke.
Honestly, I was beside myself and debated leaving $0 tip and complaining to a manager.. However, the pitiful presentation of the staff and establishment as a whole caused me to pull some humanity from my soul, and swallow my pride and my soggy toast served on a filthy plate, I paid for something I really shouldn’t have but it’s what ev’s. I did promise myself to write an honest review of my experience.
Oh , also, I tried them 2 years ago at their transit location and ordered a Cesar salad that was SWIMMING in dressing with brown lettuce which made me sick… despite this prior experience i foolishly went against my better judgment to try again. Really, I am curious how they are so busy that place is atrocious in my opinion. Not sure why I’m having a different experience than everyone else but it’s giving IHOP but worse.
This place is always hopping and it's easy to understand why. The place itself is in a great location with great parking, it's well-designed and put together for functionality, seating, and movement throughout. The cleanliness is superb. We watch them move tables and chairs to ensure the floors are clean as well as, clean as things should be cleaned; if not better. The bathroom is clean and not caked in dust or dirt; well-maintained. The staff from top to bottom is very well-mannered, kind, and helpful. The food never disappoints, ever! At least it hasn't for me anyway, or any family and friends I have brought to Alton's who have made it a staple on their menu of choices. We've been going here for years, upon years. Today we ordered the spinach feta omelet with crispy home fries with onion and rye toast and Alton's Special breakfast (pancakes, eggs, bacon). We will continue enjoying Alton's to say the least.
The best Chicken Cobb salad. Chicken was so juicy and flavorful, there was no need to add my dressing. That’s a first!
After trying several restaurants with poor staffing and long waits, we were thrilled to try Altons and be rewarded with a waitress named Danielle. She was personable, fast & efficient, and fun to banter with. The food was great too, thank you for a pleasant experience????
