The Queensway Rotisserie & Grill

An alternative to Swiss Chalet modeled after (exactly) St. Hubert. The food is almost identical to either with the exception on the chicken wings which are expensive and small but absolutely delicious!

Well another dinner at the Q on Queensway .
Been coming here for years, and honestly never
Been dissapointed. The chicken is always fantastic and the gravy /​sauce is alwsys great and waaayyy better the that other chicken place y’all go to swiss chalet… I’d pick this place over that any day !!!
Place is clean, nice and quiet as its full of old people .
But that’s ok for a relaxing meal ! Give em a try!

I ordered delivery for the convinience. It took quite long time to arrive (50 min) though it was stated when i ordered. The food was regular and a bit pricey. The mashed potatoes were very bland. I don’t use to put gravy on it but this time was necessary if i wanted to taste some flavour. Also the coleslaw portion was way too small.

Decent food. Service was good. Nothing extraordinary on menu but the kids liked it. Better chicken sauce than Swiss. Id try breakfast soon.

A former St Huberts that kept the décor and a similar menu, but changed the name when the franchise left Ontario. Having driven by this place many times, I decided to stop in with some friends for lunch. The place is well kept, the food is good, and menu is well priced. They have a variety of lunch specials that are not worthy. They include a meal with a drink and unlimited coleslaw for under $ 15. I had the hot chicken sandwitch special. One friend had the rack of ribs meal. Another had the quarter chicken lunch meal. We were all satisfied with our food. I will be returning to try the ribs on a subsequent visit.

If you want to get the best French toast in the city, this is the place to go.
They provide breakfast menu till 1pm.
The french toast is made using Egg bread, so the taste is unique. I can’t remember the number of times I have gone there just to ear the breakfast french toast.

Th Cobb Salad was top notch!

I have always loved the Q and to this day I still visit there from time to time to grab my good old quarter chicken meal with creamy coleslaw, I have since cut out the pop but everything else remains the same which is one of the main reasons why I love this place so much.
After all the years going here much of this place has remained unchanged because why fix something that ain’t broke?! Sorry for the western inspired pun here but it is mildly fitting here as this place does have a casual, country design concept with a very welcoming atmosphere I would say. The location is a large one with plenty of seating and space so it’s fantastic for large parties and families flock here as well as there are decent kids and senior specials. I like that the tables and booths are all spacious and comfy, although at certain peak times I will say it can get rather loud as it is a common family hot spot but still I find the experience a good one. It also has it’s very own, large private parking lot which I adore and they are wheel chair accessible which I think ALL venues should be in the GTA… preferably everywhere.
The food, as I mentioned earlier is very consistent in quality and the menu hasn’t really changed all that much so you can expect your favorites to stay for a while on the menu. In comparison to swiss chalet I like this place a hundred times more as the ingredients seem to have much greater quality and the care put into the meal and it’s presentation far surpasses them. The chicken is always flavorful with crispy skin and juicy meat, I always get white meat but my Dad loves the dark meat and claims it’s way juicier then swiss chalet. The chicken sauce is my absolute favorite, I really can’t get enough of it and drench both my chicken and my fries with it even though they both are delicious without it I still can’t help it LOL! I used to love their fountain pop, it sounds a little silly cause you’d think pop is pop but when I used to drink pop like it was water I adored this place because they always had a perfect ratio of syrup vs soda water, so the pops were always bubbly and refreshing. However now that I have cut good old pop from my diet I have been trying a few of their wine selections and juices all of which have been fantastic so I’m not missing my friend so much anymore ;)
Service is impeccable here, I have always been thoroughly impressed with the variety of servers they employed there. I will admit I am not frequenting this place as often as I used to, in fact I drop in a few times a month if that now so I am not certain about the staff now however I can’t see the standard dropping within the few years I haven’t been a regular. I am more of a takeout girl now but I still find the service to be quite good and I do enjoy the convenient takeout and drive thru options which really accommodate everyone.
All in all I highly recommend this place if your looking for a hearty home style meal and would suggest you try this place if your looking for an alternative to Swiss Chalet

I had lunch with my sister today. She had the ¼ chicken. I had the pulled pork sandwich. Both where good. I did get there house made chicken soup I could not finished it. I was not the best. The noodles where over cooked. The broth had no flavor. And I could not find the chicken. My sister makes me go with her she loves it. It’s not one of my favorite.

Gave this place another chance. Service was good. Food was really great. Bit pricey but worth it. Will come back again. Glad I didn’t let one bad experience keep me away

Went there for breakfast with my family. Horribly overpriced for a mediocre breakfast at best. Save your money and go across the street to the Q.

Thought the food would be crummy but looks definitely are deceiving. The California Cobb Salad was awesome, everything was so fresh (which surprised me, even the bacon was good) and my favorite thing about it– no iceberg lettuce, all romaine! If you’re a chicken connoisseur this is the place for you.

My first time here, thanks to a friend. Don’t go by the outside of the place, can be quite deceiving. The place from inside has a good décor and feels warm and friendly. Came here on 1^st January and the service was incredible! I ordered a west coast egg Benedict which was delicious! Made of hollandaise sauce, bacon, avocado, grilled shrimps and eggs poached just the way I like it! Overall a good place and would recommend you come here for brunch!

I’m the Duke here so I’m a regular. If you like chicken, this is the place to go! Pay no attention to the dutchess, she’s clearly not on the ball. The best rotisserie chicken in town at this place!
Also the dessert menu is spectacular, try the 7^th Heaven!

For the first time in a long time i have come back with the intention of sitting with the family instead of just grabbing takeout. Now when we left for the restaurant, we were all craving the classic chicken dinner that these guys are known for, sounds reasonable, right? So we arrived as a group and were seated promptly, and the waitress was at our table immediately, so all i can say is so far so good. We looked over the menu, and i must say, we saw things we have never seen before. None of us ordered what we thought we would. I had the teryaki chicken skewer on a skillet of rice and pan fried veggies, my son had the chicken fajitas which he raved about which was good to hear. My father had a gigantic burger which he loved the portion size and the burger must have been good because i didnt hear a peep out of him until his plate was empty. And the big surprise was the lobster roll my mother ordered. All was great. However if they had of toasted the lobster roll with garlic butter would have been amazing. But all said and done, they did a great job with the menu items. Looks like we will have to sit in the dining room more often. Now for desert, my Unilocaler helper and I shared a desert they call the chocolate mountain which is a brownie, with icecream and whip cream and chocolate sauce and calories galore but worth every bite of chocolatey goodness. I look forward to the next time i am there to try something else that is new to my pallet. Good job Q Grill

Went here today for brunch. They have breakfast which is something I don’t expect from a chicken place. This place used to be St. Hubert’s years ago which is pretty much a Quebec based chicken and rib place much like Swiss Chalet. This place is a bit more expensive than Swiss Chalet but their half chicken dinner is much larger. The décor is also nicer as the menu also has more selection.
The service is ok, nothing spectacular. I always find myself seeking out the servers to get refills here regardless of how busy the place may seem.
The food is good but it seems a little higher than expected. For instance a half chicken dinner is 18 and rib dinner is like 24+. Still the breakfast is decent and they have a nice place with a kids menu etc.

More expensive version of Swiss chalet. The decorations were better but the food was about the same. The one slice of bread provided was either the top or bottom half of a hamburger bun. Would probably go to Swiss chalet down the street next time I’m in the area.

We wanted to have some chicken so after reading Unilocal reviews of The Q we decided to have lunch here during my break.
We went for the 2 for 1 lunch deal. The deal basically states that you have to purchase two drinks and an entrée in order to get the second entrée (equal or lesser value) for free. I chose the quarter leg and Naveen S. got the bbq chicken sandwich with a glass of oj and a coffee.
The quarter leg tasted hot and fresh out of the oven. However, when I looked at the bbq chicken sandwich it looked pretty dry and it was.
Overall, it was an a-​ok place that we had lunch at but it wasn’t anything spectacular.
PS: If you check-​in on the Unilocal app you’ll get one free dessert. We were going to get it but we were decently full so we chose not to.

I was invited for a lunch meeting here and having driven past it numerous times when I worked in Etobicoke for a couple of years at one point, I was excited by the opportunity to try this place.
There is plenty of parking at this place, and when I was there they had just repaved and painted the lines in addition the exterior of the restaurant was crisp, clean and well kept, a sign to me that management/​ownership takes pride in the appearance of their wants to present a professional product. Upon entry I realized that the interior was well on it’s way to the same presentation. I say «on it’s way» as some areas were fresh, and noticeably newly renovated while others were slightly dated. That being said, it’s clear they are investing in this place in a big way so full points on aesthetics!
I will say one thing, you really do feel as if you are in a Swiss chalet/​St. Hubert’s (I think the Swiss Chalet loving Vincent P from Cambridge would even be impressed). However, as I mentioned above, it’s getting a fresh look to an old concept.
We were seated right away and I had to take note of their menu, lots of great pictures and a true rotisserie style menu with all the standards (chicken, ribs, etc). After being told that their chicken was better than a St. H or Swiss Chalet by my lunch mate I obviously had to try it out! It came with coleslaw, fries, and ½ a hamburger bun (I did feel this could have been an actual bun or garlic toast instead — the presentation of a hamburger bun is not what I would call «classy»). The roasted bird was as good as her word, perhaps not better but definitely equally as good in my books. I did enjoy the chalet sauce (I mean who doesn’t).
Over all the meal was A-​OK for me (aka a 3 star). Where they earn the extra star is in the following areas:
— aforementioned attention to image and presentation of the menu, interior and exterior
— Buy one get one free lunch menu Monday to Friday until 3pm
— Fast, friendly service
— Their impressive espresso bar that is a focal point the moment you walk in.
I think with a few little tweeks this place will earn a 5 star in my books. That being said this is still a great spot for lunch, dinner or group outing, if you’re in the area give them a try and let me know your thoughts.
Eatcrest OUT!

My boyfriend and I used to like coming here for a weekend breakfast while we were running errands in Etobicoke. we’d have breakfast at «The Q» twice a month. It’s almost always busy, but and they have a few servers who are outstanding and really good at their jobs. I feel sad for these servers because they they have to work with the other half of the staff who are absolute tools.
The worst was Club Boy, a faux-​hawked sleepy eyed 20 something guy, who did nothing but stand around and try to look hot. He arrived at thetable 15 minutes after we sat, despite the fact that he was lollygagging by the kitchen. He completely messed up our order and when I mentioned that there must have been some confusion, he WINKED AT ME! Like… what? Dude, I could be your Mother (well, no I couldn’t because I’m proud to say that nothing that stupid has come that close to my who-​who), but why on earth would you wink at me? I’m supposed to think that you’re so hot that I just don’t care that you got our orders wrong?
I watched the entire place going haywire while he just stood there bobbing his head. It was obvious that the other serving staff hated him enough to not even help him.
I had to take my bill to the cash register after waiting 20 minutes from the time he dropped off the bill (which we had to ask for twice).
Twice we were also served by another gentleman who left us waiting forever. We sat in the front area that was a little out of the way and we sat for 10 minutes without menus. When we got them, it took our server forever to return to ask for coffee. Don’t deny me my caffeine in the morning, or I will be very grumpy. We were there for 2 hours in total just for breakfast. The second time we went and he was our server, things were much the same.
Eventually, we just stopped coming to the Q. The rage inducing waits for coffee and stupid staff just drove us away.
I will say that we have been there numerous times and had great service. But when it’s hit or miss, you don’t want to risk a miss.
