16 Best American Restaurants near Alden

“Fantastic broiled fish and homemade German potatoe salad! Generous portions, great staff. Definitely are go to restaurant when I am visiting from out of State.“

“We arrived without a reservation on a very busy Saturday evening for dinner. Seated in a timely manner. Staff was pleasant, courteous and professional considering how busy the Inn was. We were served our dinners within a short wait time. Our meals were served in a pleasant and appetizing presentation, everything was prepared nicely and the tastes to everything was very good. The appearance of the Inn was neat, clean and organized. Thank you to the entire staff for making our dinning experience at the Countryside Inn very enjoyable.“

“Wish I could give this place 5 stars BUT…
While the food comes out fresh and hot (or cold, however you ordered) the price is a bit outrageous. $60 for 4 subs and a side of fries!? Not to mention that sometimes my sub comes with something I didn’t ask for, mainly lettuce. Wish the employee would repeat the order back to double check. The food is delicious, I recommend the fish fry! Mainly gets subs here, but occasionally get the fish or a salad - very rarely get pizza here, but it is delicious when I do!“

“Fantastic place. Great staff great food.“

“Some of the best comfort food!! Amazing place“

“Charlie The Butcher continues to be the premier Beef on Weck of Western New York! Thank you for all you do for the community as well! Merry Christmas!“

“Have not been to the restaurant side since Anthony took over ownership. It has a completely different vibe! The food may seem like what you have seen on a menu before, but their take on it is absolutely fabulous! I have never had a clam chowder like the one served here. It is amazing! I would return for the clam chowder alone. The sweet potato fries may look typical, but their taste-like nothing I have ever had before. Not sure what their secret seasoning is. The wings rock. We left with doggy bags because we didn’t want to waste any of the delicious food! The chicken piccata, chicken Parmesan- might want to consider sharing! If you have been here before 2023 and been disappointed, you need to revisit! Trust me! And bring even the most finicky of your teens! They will be happy as well!“

“Another wonderful evening!! Great drinks & food! Wonderful hospitality from the owner Simon, his wife Breanna (hope that's spelled right). This is a must see place in Clarence.“

“Delicious food, great service and pleasant atmosphere! Perfection!“

“My husband was given a gift certificate to Taste so we tried it out for the first time and had been routinely coming since! We love the atmosphere. Rustic building, hip coffee shop vibe. They offer tea and coffee options including seasonal features. Soup and Mac n cheese sides, breakfast, sandwiches, salads, comfort food like pot roast, and desserts displayed so you can make a choice. They have a cooler with drinks like pop, water, juices, and such, and beer selections including NA. We tend to park in the lot behind the building, walk up the stairs through the little pedestrian alley, and enter through the side door. Staff are always pleasant, food has been consistent, and the coffee is delicious. Restroom was clean when I've used it, but the tables have always needed to be wiped down the several times we've visited. There is the expectation guests will clear their trash, but perhaps adding the ability for patrons to wipe their table would be helpful. We wouldn't mind wiping it down before we leave or grabbing something from the station area to clean a dirty table before we sit as compared to not having a place to sit.“

“Waited an hour to get our table on a busy Saturday around 5 PM. Hostesses and servers were polite and helpful. Over all food was some of the best we’ve had since moving to the area. Beef on weck was hand carved and portion for the small sandwich was larger than expect for my wife. The table shared medium wings and butter garlic bbq wings along with cheese sticks and chicken fingers and waffle fries. Overall, everything was done just right!“

“I just started working in Alden NY, a coworker told me about this place and they did not disappoint. I’ve never written a review before but I had to let everyone know. Next time you go to Six Flags you have to stop here.“

“Found and will return Great place. And fast too“

“We stopped in while visiting East Aurora and was made to feel at home. The bartender was great and friendly, the covered deck was relaxing and the food was awesome. Definitely recommend.“

“We had fish fry. It was by far the best fish fry we have ever had. Couldn’t even eat 1/2 of it.“

“Had the bang bang burger, awesome is an understatement! Really looking forward to going back & trying the Ruben rolls & a burger.
At first thought menu was a little limited but after my burger, looking forward to trying the others.“
