Ugh, why did I come here? Coworker and I were sick of all the options around the Yonge-Bloor area and were looking for something economical. We go out to lunch way too much and been to practically every place, so we went east past Church on Bloor and originally planned for sushi, but then we ended up joking about Swiss Chalet or McDonald's. Somehow we actually ended up at Swiss Chalet. I need to just shut my big mouth sometimes.
Atmosphere: 1/5 - this Swiss Chalet looked like an old diner and reminded me of a Golden Griddle. Yuck.
Service: 3/5 - service was fine and nothing special. No super service, just some nice women serving us.
Food/price/value: 1/5 - I ordered a chicken sandwich and fries smothered in gravy. The chicken was alright, but they even didn't even ask the option of white or whole wheat bread. Are we living in the 90's here? Where's the whole wheat option? No mention of it. Also fries tasted terrible unless you smothered them in gravy. This still costs me almost $12 with tax. My co-worker ordered some type of pasta with chicken and he said it wasn't even what he ordered. He was in a rush and didn't bother telling them. They asked chicken or shrimp and apparently getting chicken was $2 extra with his pasta. Like seriously, $2 extra for chicken at Swiss Chalet? I thought they were supposed to specialize in chicken. Anyways he ended up paying $18 for very mediocre chicken pasta.
Verdict: I need to shut my big mouth and go with my first instinct. Would have been happier with McDonald's even though I despise McDonald's. Dear Swiss Chalet, you are a Canadian company, do Canada better - PLEASE!!!!
