Had the hot wings and half rack of ribs;wife had cheesy chicken bacon penne. Both meals brought to the table hot and cooked well. Wifes pasta was excellent, my wings were good but were tiny. Ribs were a little dry and lacked sauce. The food was acceptable and service was decent. Great place for a quick meal.

Got a whole chicken and fries delivered. When it came it was cold and the meat and fried were flaccid. It tasted like it had been in a car for a number of hours.

Called the 1866 # for delivery couldn’t even hear the guy let alone understand him. I was told told I couldn’t have a loaded baked potato and fries with my half chicken dinner I couldn’t help but laugh and hang up. Called again talk to someone else, then I was told that they couldn’t deliver to us that we aren’t near a Swiss chalet I can literary stand on the deck and see them. What a mission to get food so I drove down there just to be disappointed with dry bland no good food!

We have been coming here ever since the restaurant was open a few years ago. The food is decent but it is Swiss Chalet afterall, so it is not gourmet food by any stretch of imagination. I consider it a small step up from having fast food. The servers are good most of the time and I don’t think we ever have anything big to complaint about this location… or else we wouldn’t come back time after time. Once thing that they never have is hot water in the washrooms, which is odd and quite uncomfortable to be honest. I don’t know if they know or they do it intentionally to save on water heating bills.

Where else does one go for the best restaurant bought chicken soup when sick with a bad cold? Swiss Chalet! $ 3.99 will get you a bowl! Oh and a whole wheat bun is 29 cents(but fresh)! I cannot taste or smell a thing right now so in we went — first time here. No complaints other than portions are quite small these days, it has been awhile since I have been to Swiss Chalet. Hubby’s quarter chicken dinner was more on a scale of a 1⁄8 chicken dinner. My soup was served nice and hot and it was exactly what I came in here for. They say they make it fresh daily and the texture of the pasta and colour of the soup told me that this appeared to be true. Service was fine, friendly, no complaints and the restaurant not very busy. Ample parking in the lot. I like Swiss Chalet’s ribs and will be back for them I am sure but likely for take-out. I have also found delivery service at Swiss Chalet in general to be a rip-off.

Solid Swiss chalet. You know how some of them seem to have ok food and some locations poor? Well this one has shown consistently good food for three visits and we have been happy, large area supports our large extended family. All in all my favourite Swiss chalet location of the city.

A great Swiss Chalet location. The staff are friendly and the food is tasty. Don’t listen to the previous bad post about this restaurant. It was written when the place first opened and as far as I can remember Swiss Chalet has never served pizza before. I wouldn’t trust their comments. A good family restaurant or a place to take out. Yes it’s more expensive that a «bird at Sobey’s» but worth it.

Ok, I seriously I would never have come here had I not had both kids in soccer that day, plus a birthday party to attend later and a killer migraine earlier in the day. Seeing how Swiss Chalet just opened up in my neck of the woods I figured, hey, what have I got to loose? It is just chicken. Correction, salty, greasy, just ok chicken that I could have easily purchased from a nearby Safeway or Superstore for about $ 7.00 for the entire bird. It happened to be moderately busy in there but not at half full capacity by any means. We got an overly exuberant waitress, who was nice and all, I prefer the more mellow laid-back type of waiters but to each his own. We placed our order, as well as the kids meals(BTW the kids menu is this mish mash of combinations like pizza and fries, or chicken and fruit, strange, but nothing I would serve to my kids but let it slide since they were hungry) We both ordered the quarter chicken dinners, I had corn and hubby had mashed potatoes. We started with a Ceaser salad that was fresh and good. Fries were over done and blah, mashed potatoes were not creamy, and had a bitter aftertaste which I found odd, I think they could have been instant potatoes. Corn tasted like something you would feed cattle; tough, not seasoned, and really corny in that it wasn’t sweet like some Green Giant Niblets but some bulk generic grade C product. Chicken was alright, but nothing worth $ 10, actually, you could get a better meal at Christy’s. The waitress did forget our butter for the buns and their pride and joy, the dipping sauce. She brought the sauce in one hand and a hand full of of butter packages in the other and plopped them on the table, how classy! I guess they were out of plates as well as small teaspoons that I requested for my little guys ice cream. After we finished our meal, our overly-excited waitress was on her dinner break, bitching to another staff member about her crappy job. So it took her a while to ring us up but whatever, I’m not coming to this place anytime soon so I didn’t loose my head. If you are looking for a good quick roast chicken fix, try Christy’s(Review to follow) a bit cheaper, better sides and chicken has a better flavour. Or better yet, get a bird from Sobeys or Superstore which are near by for a better bang for your buck.
