swiss chalet has been diversifying it food and beverage mix over the years, but the prices they charge for those new exotic rice and pasta dishes are a little north of $15 that's new ventured territory for swiss chalet which i've come to know as a chain offering meals under $10. (except for ribs) it does make sense from them to explore different menu options to have some variety besides chicken, & ribs.
i'm a traditionalist when i go to swiss chalet and only order the chicken and the fries. about the only thing i change is how much meat I'm having depending on how i hungry i feel. :)
you have: quarter chicken, half chicken, double leg (good value)
and for sides as i mentioned i only do the fries..carbalicious!!
the chicken i ordered (white) was fresh however the sauce was concentrated and salty. sauce consistency varies among swiss chalet restaurants; rec. they use measuring cups or taste it people! fries were spot on.
the location and layout is narrow and small (like a 50 person max limit). the lighting is a dreary fluorescent pink. the restaurant could use some colourful art on the walls to spruce things up.
a plus if you stay in, there are large tvs to watch a raptors/jays game here while feasting
however i would rather opt for take-out.
