| - Been going to this location for the passed five-plus years and it's a fantastic place to go for a meal.
It's never jam packed so it's unlikely you'll be ever waiting at the door for a seat and you'll usually be able to get a parking spot pretty easily. The inside's very clean and it looks like just about any other Swiss Chalet.
The food itself is VERY consistently good. I've gone fairly frequently and got the same, good quality food each time (no, not super high end, but I'm okay with that). I usually like getting the quarter-chicken, white meat with fries or a poutine. The fries on their own aren't fantastic but having the gravy or Swiss Chalet sauce makes it a lot better anyway. Their appetizers are really quite good too - Garlic Cheese Bread, Wings, Soup - though many of them are a little on the pricey side. They used to have an appetizer called Dry Ribs but they seem to be gone from the menu, which is a shame because they were really good too. During the winter only, they also have Chicken Chowder Soup (it's basically a creamy soup with potato and chicken in it), and I highly recommend giving this a try - I always get it if they have it.
The staff are fantastic. Most nights, the manager will make sure you are enjoying your meal and the waiter/waitress always do a good job to make sure you're satisfied with everything. Since I've been going here so often, I can usually tell if someone's new and they are always amazing - so this place must train them fairly well. If the wait's a little longer than usual, they let you know and if they bring you something wrong or off, they're happy to change it right away (I tend to get fries rather than a poutine - easy fix). They always bring you warm lemon water to put your hands in just before you're done your meal so that's always nice too.
All in all, Swiss Chalet's a fantastic place to go for lunch or dinner. Low wait times for food, fantastic staff, good and consistent food quality and a pretty calm environment is their recipe for success!
