This location is very consistent. The food always satisfies and the waiting staff has been there forever, which, to me, is a sign of good management. Try the hamburger — it’s a secret favourite!

The new menus from Swiss Chalet look really nice. The Swiss Chalet service was great, however I am not a fan of the food. The food was just typical and nothing unique. I ordered a quarter chicken(white meat), medley vegetables, and it came with a bun.

We took my boyfriend’s Dad for dinner and he wanted Swiss Chalet. I haven’t been in a long time, but I do crave the double leg meal and some sauce on occasion. Our server was very sweet and tried very hard, but there was a bit of a language barrier. My boyfriend ordered a diet coke and there was some schmutz on his glass. We had to wait a long time and then flag her down to show her. She apologized profusely and replaced the drink immediately. Food was typical. My boyfriend and I both had the 1⁄3 rack of ribs and ¼ chicken dinner and his father had the Chicken Stir Fry. nothing was great and nothing was awful, but I think this is one of the reasons that people like Swiss Chalet so much; they know what to expect. When we told our server that we were done, she left our plates in front of us but went to get the bill. Then she wished us a good sleep that night. Which was weird, but sweet.

I’ve never really been a fan of Swiss Chalet, but moreso because of the portions. The food isn’t that great, but the it’s rotisserie chicken, as long as it’s not too dry it can’t be too wrong. Been here many times but usually I get takeout. Takeout is pretty fast. I don’t understand why the white meat is more expensive than the dark meat. It comes from the same chicken, the cost of the chicken is a standard price. They cut up the same chicken. They have these new pasta dishes, not that great. It’s bland. Stick with the rotisserie chicken, it’s not that big so I usually get double leg for dinner and a quarter chicken for lunch. Why this is a 2star, the service wasn’t that great. They were understaffed for lunch; had to wait multiple times for the bill. Got awkward conversation from the waitress.

I’ve never really been a big fan of Swiss Chalet. The chicken is always soggy and the I have never been a fan of the«addictive sauce» — which to me just tastes like watery dish soap with a hint of cinnamon or cloves and a bay leaf. But hey, to each his own right? I gave Swiss Chalet 3 stars(instead of the 2 I think it actually deserves) simply because I got an AMAZING deal from Red Flag Deals. Basically, I got to order whatever I want and get 1) a FREE appetizer, 2) a FREE dessert and 3) 15% off the entire bill for about 2 weeks or so. Needless to say, I ate at SC quite a few times with a bill of under $ 8 for a main, an app and dessert(costs about as much as a salad in my building). Other than free office lunch meetings(it’s located beside my workplace) and amazing coupons, I would not normally go to SC for chicken, ribs or soap sauce.

Okay I admit I have a soft spot for Swiss Chalet. For me, it’s the sauce that keeps me coming back. ;) You either love it or hate it. Décor at this North York location is traditional. The furniture is a light maple with fabric upholstered seating. There are tables or booths. Most of the Swiss Chalet restaurants around the Greater Toronto Area are modeled this way so if you’ve gone to one lately the look will be familiar. We went for dinner on a weekday. It wasn’t too busy and it was quiet enough to have a conversation. Our food came out in less than 10 minutes. I ordered 1⁄3 rack of ribs, ¼ chicken dinner with fries as my side. Tasted fine and hit the spot. :) Ordered a coconut cream pie for dessert — this sadly wasn’t very good. Ranks slightly above a McCain frozen coconut cream pie in my books. There’s only a 5 parking spots for the restaurant outside. Restaurant is nestled off on a side road North of Yonge St and York Mills Ave. I guessing most of the patrons visit this location for lunch from the offices nearby. Parking is free after 4pm in the garage next door.

I love going to Swiss Chalet during the Festive Special, I do not know why but I am addicted to the stuffing! I go to the Chalet of the Swiss how often I can while the festive special is being served, and then I have to wait another year for the stuffing to come back! This location is convenient for me, it is tucked away so not very many people probably know of its existence. I do know that they do a good lunch business from the office workers which the Swiss Chalet is located under. The waitress’s here are all very friendly, I have never had a problem. However on one of my trips to this location I saw the kitchen staff moving the garbage dumpster outside the building and that kind of turned me off so I drove away, luckily I saw that before I went in and ordered food. I sure there is someone else who could move the dumpster… You can only hope they washed their hands after wards!!! Eek!

This Swiss Chalet is tucked into an office building in Hoggs Hollow just north of the subway. It’s a decent restaurant. The parking is mainly underground and really awkward – narrow with sharp turns. Other than that, it’s a Swiss Chalet.

So the rotisserie chicken is good. It has shrunk over the years, but it’s still good. Mainly still good because of the dipping sauce. The swiss chalet dipping sauce is totally amazing and cannot be duplicated. Yes, you can get the powdered do it yourself mix(for those of us who do not live in Canada) but you need to experience this for yourself in person. You can dip everything in this. Meat, fries, bread, you name it. You can do it. Anyway, you can eat in or get take out. It all tastes good. They also have sandwiches and ribs. A Canadian staple.
