Food was great, could have used a fork for the take out pie....
Great restaurant friendly staff. Excellent food. Clean washrooms. Absolutely fantastic experience
Placed order for delivery. Got call back from call center saying there was a problem with the address so I attempted to correct this. Set time for 6:00 for delivery and it arrived at 6:20. Everything was cold and ribs were cold and dry. Terrible meal, lots of hassle to order delivery. Never again. They offered me a $20.00 credit on a $50.00 Meal.
Unnecessary long wait (A hostess can seat more than one table at a time) Took 10 minutes to even get my drink order taken even though the waitress was at the very next table at least 3 times. (You can check on more than one table at a time between trips to the kitchen) Asked for dark meat. Got white meat (When your primary disk is chicken this shouldn't be rocket science) However the manager did her best to help where she could. Cara foods doesn't know a thing about running a restaurant or training staff. No excuse after 40 years in business.
Great chicken quarter,love the chalet sauce
Great service food is consistent
We go here every time we head to the casino and it is a great location. The food has always been good.
Delicious!
Came for lunch today had a quarter chicken with parmesan fries the fries were awesome! Service by shannon was quick and friendly!
I thought I would take my mom out for a nice birthday dinner in orillia to her favorite place. What a huge disappointment. She orders the quarters chick and baked potato. Well it was stone cold. I ordered the quarters chick with fries . A coffee the coffee was cold and very strong my fries were cold the swiss chalet sauce was watered down. The hole meal was discussing. We will never return. Or recommend them
Always a great place!
Reliable and busy. Get there earlier...parking is tight
Slow service and small portions :-(
Meal type
Kelly was great and service was exceptional.
Service/food was absolutely awful. After watching 4 tables around us receive their food and leave we finally received ours nearly one and half hours later. Only to receive dinners not fully finished and cold never mind that some was not fully cooked. We had to hunt down our own condiments! Even the people in the booth beside us came over because they felt bad that they were eating before us and knew they arrived much later than us. We did complain many times to the manager and were given 4 complimentary dinner cards in the end; but we had come from out of town meeting with family for a special occasion and this just ruined it all. So disappointed in this swiss chalet would never recommend this location. Head office needs a total audit of their food service and hospitality in this location.This type of service makes us think twice about even going back to a swiss chalet again.
Good food at a good price
Staff were very good and knowledgeable, professional, all and all great experience, food is very good
To the staff on Sunday, May 10...shame on you! I ordered via the phone at 6:30 PM....we arrived at 730, paid and was told it wasn't quite ready. Okay its mothers day...it was finally brought out at 815 (they actually closed at 8pm). What we discovered was undercooked meat...blood spots, and the meat had to be ripped from the bone....mine was nothing but blubbery...YUCK...I have pics if the restaurant is interested. Left an email for head office and other than an automated response, have heard nothing. Now we have been pleased in the past, I feel this was a staffing issue on Sunday. Shelley Kraan
I go to swiss chalet at least 4 times a month and the last 2 times my fries were horrible they were burnt and looked old not happy
We went to Swiss Chalet this evening for my birthday for the first time ever the service was terrible it took for ever for our orders to come to the table when they did my husband's fries were cold and my daughter waited longer for a plate of fries than the rest of us waited for a whole meal, the bills were handed to us without asking if we wanted dessert which my daughter did, but the fiasco of paying was nerve racking we all paid separately and it took us at least a half hour to pay because the waitress kept walking away to do something else. I will order online and have it delivered but I will not go back to the resturaunt for a sit down meal
Good food, good price. Servers are friendly and attentive. There was 9 of us and we were seated quickly. There is a kids menu for the kids to colour while they wait.
Sometimes good staff however sometimes not, also when ordering from here on skip they tend to forget things a lot
Service was very slow. Got some water and no food order. Ended up getting up and leaving.
Food was not the typical Swiss Chalet quality food. Disappointed with our dining experience. 3 of our dining party had to use the restroom within minutes of leaving the restaurant
Great food, great service.
The fish isn't very good
Always great service
Same as it ever was
Great waitress. Brought me food guide for gluten options, made stuff up that wasn't on the menu. Reasonable prices. Exceeded my expectations.
Always so good for so little!!! Predictable. You just know it will be as good as last time.
Quality has gone down, price has gone up, portions have gotten smaller. Delivery takes very long to order, and even longer to get to your door.
Our visit to Swiss chalet was excellent their precautions against covid are top notch the staff was amazing and everything was spotless clean. The food was excellent,I would recommend this establishment over others in the area
Fast service and good food as always.
You get fresh food for toppings
Service
been there twice in the last 2 years and the food was terrible both times. Service was slow. Won't be back at this location.
Not bad with the service but it can take a while just to get a good meal.
Took 40 min to get our food... we complained and received a discount but did not make up for having starving kids and all on my daughters birthday. If it hadn't been a birthday tradition we would have left.
The chicken is moist and tasty. Just tends to be crowded and short staffed at times. I find it slightly out of budget for this style of restaurant. Still enjoyable though.
Not sure what's going on. Staff has changed maybe management too? They didnt give us time of day so we left. I'll try once more but if its same song it will be a no confidence vote from me
Half the time your order is correct.
Basic comfort food
Never a bad experience here. Awesome food, awesome service. Prices are fair.
Got a family meal for takeout. They packed it up nicely and the food was good. Good value.
Try new chicken sammy.....was pretty good!!!
Grabbed an order of Honey Garlic Chicken Wings and Fries from the takeout counter for dinner. The order was delivered to the car in about fifteen minutes. Everything was hot and delicious tasting. Thank you!
Awesome service 2020
The service was fast and the food was hot and fresh.
First time I ordered I got the shrimp and chicken, I ordered through their app. The food was actually really good and their cheese cake is nice too. It’s a good treat every now and then. My only suggestion is more shrimp.
I don't have a personal issue with this Swiss Chalet, im sure the people here are lovely, I just hate swiss chalet. the smell makes me sick. therefore 1 star. stop being so smelly and bad
I came in for lunch. Kelli was my waitress. Even if it was super busy Kelli took the time to say hello, smiled and was very nice. It was a wonderful lunch.
The dinner rolls have changed and they are not good
Best chicken in the world
Food great as always downside lots of flies I know it can't be helped with people going in and out for takeout and stuff but very annoying while eating
Consistently serves quality food!
Take out
Waitress didn't check on us, fries were cold and my daughter's veggies seemed like they sat quiet awhile after being cooked... Left thirsty and disappointed...
Great experience. Was a busy sunday eve. Had to wait 15 min for a table for 6 people. But that was ok. Server very attentive and quick. Food was so good I forgot to take a pic!
Food was ready for pickup and hot
Excellent service as usual.
Took almost an hour, food was cold, waitress was not friendly. Would not go again
It was pretty good
Great meal great service
The young woman serving us was absolutely wonderful. I spoke with the manager telling her how lovely the 2 young women were.
I think this is the best spot to take your grandkids. It is still reasonable and the food is good. Plus there's a nice selection.
Not bad, but the last 2 times they forgot the rolls. Always double check your order. A salad was missing a different time too.
Great server. Garlic cheese buns do have!
Love this place delicious food beautiful restaurant
Love Swiss Chalet. They do not have a change table in the mens washroom though.
Disappointed as went here for supper. Stood and waited for 20min and didn't even get seated. Hope it was just a one off.
Excellent food and service.
Mmmm chicken and that sause o my, mmmm
Large group. Fast, friendly service was appreciated.
It was very nice....
I went back in.July 2019 and was pretty pregnant when I went. I ended up getting super sick, as a bonus my kids ended up having a case of nasty runs. Food was soggy, cold, and greasy, servers weren't very attentive and the orders didnt even come out in time.. Needless to say I havent gone back since
Good food. Friendly servers.fast service
The very best place to eat and enjoy youeself
Terrible waited over an hour just to be served ...will never be visiting again
Delicious food, servers are very attentive, and super nice atmosphere. Plus it’s all at an affordable price. Can totally recommend it and will definitely come back again. I would recommend the double leg meal deal. Amazing.
Good food for a good price. Good for family dining.
Orillia
Everyone knows you get good food there.
Upon arrival, placed our order on line and within minutes our order was delivered to our car! Good meal for value!!
Good place to stop for lunch while visiting Orillia.
Kelli was an awesome server. Yummy food!
Kelli was awesome. Very attentive. An overall awesome experience Thank you we will be back soon.
It is very clean. The staff are very polite.
Good food, good service
Yummmmy chicken wings
Awesome food
We were going to have dinner at the North Bay Swiss Chalet around 6:45 this evening. It was not at all busy, about half of the tables were empty, but we stood waiting to be acknowledged, along with a number of other patrons, for quite some time. Finally, after the long wait, someone asked how many were in our party of two. She then said to wait a moment while she cleaned the table. She then proceeded to clean several more tables, while we stood waiting, then walked by us into the kitchen saying she would be with us in a moment. Meanwhile, the three people behind us walked out. We too left after spending about 15 to 20 minutes waiting to be seated at the half empty restaurant. We went to Mr. Pancho instead where both the service and food was excellent.
Fair food, decent enough price for the type of place; lost a star for a dirty knife.
Service was good and they maintained social distancing. Good place to eat a healthy meal
Clean and organized. staff are so friendly.
Mike was our server... he provided great service... fast efficient and was on point our whole dining experience.
Pretty good place i guess if u like this place
We just tried to order for pickup tonight and they told us the Memorial location was closed!!!
Can't beat the 2 for 1 deal with coupon
Great Service!
Love the Orillia SC. Just a little slow today.
Awesome food and friendly people
The service and the food were both great! Wonderful experience over all. (haply they had wifi, unlike mcdonalds, no shade). Our server Tanner was very nice and had great eyeliner/eyebrows. Also the unnamed server who brought our shalet sause had very pretty hair (thanks for the hair fip my guy, you keep doin you)
Had a great time tonight! Kelli was a great server! Had some laughs and enjoyed our time very much. Thanks for making it a great visit for my mom & I while she was here visiting!
Good food
Chicken salad then old fashion caramel sundae! No regrets! Great service too!
The ribs were dry very disappointing because they were always very good
Tiny portion served by grouchy women.
Not impressed at all
A good place for reasonably priced rotisserie chicken. Rest of menu is unappealing
It's Been Over A Year Since I've Dined At Swiss Chalet. The One Located In Orillia Is Horrible! Soup Was Greasy And Cold. I Ordered Half A Chicken & The Chicken Leg Quarter Looked Like A Chicken Wing. The Fries Were Cold & In Little Pieces. The Service Sucked! I Will Never Go Back To Any Of Their Locations! It's Really Gone Down Hill.
Great food, Tanner is a very fast and friendly server.
Always reliable, no surprised, good value. Just plain food when you need it.
Service and staff were good but I have found that the sauces and some foods have gone down hill across the whole chain. So it's not a North Bay thing but a Swiss Chalet thing. That aside food was made fast and was perfectly warm as well food seems to have been prepared fresh as well. Chicken is still good.
Great food, good service and friendly people
Meh it’s food, service is slow and it’s okay fast food sit in table service place.
Fast service, hot food.
Great food...great staff
We come fairly often with our two young children and older mother in law. It's good for all ages, the service is fast and the food is just what you expect. A safe and pleasant option.
Good food
Great place to eat! I would recommend anyone to go here.
I'm giving this place a 1 ... I placed my order at 5:20 pm... I received it at 7 pm .... and do u think my food was even hot no !!! Fries all dried up food was luke warm. .So that just recked my supper ..i was so disappointed ...
Food was as expected, no surprises just good comfort foo
Great food with awesome service...well worth the price!
Had the nicest waitress today. What pleasure! Food was good, had birthday cake too!
Always a great choice yum
I got take out and the fries were terrible, soggy and barely warm.
Good service and good food. I was happy we stopped here for lunch. Right along the road, easy access. Would recommend for someone looking for a place other than fast food.
Good food and service
Nice
Had a great experience today while having dinner in Orillia. There was a large birthday party that had a reservation but where they were seated 1 individual was unable to join the party due to the lack of wheelchair accessibility. The managers on duty Iilan and Matt as well as the staff went out of their way to accommodate the party even after they had already been sat. They created room on the lower dining floor to have the family sit together. The family was able to enjoy dinner and celebrate a birthday together because of the efforts of this staff. They deserve praise as this was one of the best acts of customer service I have seen in a very long time, if not ever.
The chicken was a little undercooked but they got us a new one that fell off the bone. The parmasean fries had great flavor but were a bit greasy
We ordered take out from this location and all agreed it was the best Swiss chalet we’ve had. Piping hot and really fresh! Was delivered 30 min earlier than expected too.
Waited 45 minutes no food manager unresponsive to inquiry why the food so late
The bathroom was unpleasant ... old burned up plastic seat. Everyone of them damaged.
Food was good as always. It was quite busy, 30min wait and restaurant felt crowded as we dined. But staff was helpful and friendly.
I ordered by phone for my family -- a family pack with two packs of fries and two caesar salads. We asked if we could get all white meat, as we have been to other locations that will honour that request. The woman at the call centre taking my order said she would have to contact the restaurant itself and ask. She put me on hold to do so and when she came back, she said the restaurant would do this. Great! I finished my order and paid over the phone and ended the call. The restaurant is a 20 minute drive from my house so you can imagine my frustration when this happened: When I got home we discovered that we received two white and two dark. We called the restaurant and spoke to the manager, Amanda, who explained that that is how the family pack is served. I know that already. This was a customer request that has been fulfilled several times in the past. We told Amanda that the woman at the call centre put me on hold to call her restaurant to ask if they would give us all white meat and that she told me that the restaurant said yes. Amanda said they never heard from the call centre and so they did nothing wrong, leading me to believe that the call centre lied to me. We told her that the request is on the receipt that came with the food when I picked it up. For this reason, I don't believe the restaurant/Amanda was truthful when she said the restaurant never heard from the call centre. She (or whoever packed the order and brought it out to me) would have seen the request on the same receipt her store gave me. We said that if the restaurant had no intention of fulfilling the request, they should have called us (We are supposed to provide a phone number for a reason, are we not?). When we told her they should have called us if there was an issue, she was silent for quite a while and then finally responded with an attitude-ridden "Okay". We are new to this area. For the first time ordering from this location, it has not left a good impression and I would be reluctant to order from here in future. From my experience, and based on what I've read from some of the other reviews here, I'd say their customer service needs work. Oh yeah, and our caesar salads came without dressing. They included the cheese, croutons, and bacon, but forgot the caesar salad dressing for our caesar salads so we had to make do with what we had -- balsamic vinaigrette (the hell if I'm driving another 40 minutes total just for dressing), which made me sick.
After 28hr power outage we decided to go out for dinner. Service was good, food came fairly quickly but no chalet sauce brought to table even though we had 6 chicken and rib meals. Customers shouldn't have to chase down a server for an iconic staple to the meal. Other than that, a salad was missing but removed from the bill. Still an enjoyable experience and will return.
Good except there was a mixup cuz didn't get the French fries. But perhaps I didn't specify but perhaps the server did not get what I wanted. The food is always good
I just tried to order a delivery for my parents anniversary, since they are not comfortable going out to restaurants during COVID19. I tried phoning four times last night and they couldn't place the order. I tried to go online, set up an account but it wouldn't recognize my gmail account. I called again this morning and they admitted that their order system wasn't working and advised me to call the store direct. The gentleman that answered the phone informed me they could not handle orders over the phone and I would have to either order online or through their call centre, he insisted those were my only options even after I explained the problems I was having.
$55 for a family feast. Could of got a bigger chicken from Wal-mart for $7.97. Food got here and it was freezing cold, got very little portions of mashed potato (was less than a scoop). Got a little salad that could only feed 1 person, the chicken was still pink in the inside. We got charged for 4 sparkling lemonades that we didn't get so we had to call them. They still didn't do anything about the missing drinks, they just told us they ran out of it and they didn't even say sorry (this was the manager on the phone). Made my 1 year old child gag. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. OVER CHARGING. BAD QUALITY OF FOOD. BAD MANAGEMENT. p.s. DO NORTH BAY A FAVOR AND SHUT DOWN YOUR RESTAURANT
Disappointing service waited 30 plus mins for take out that was supposed to take 10 to 15 mins as well as I ordered a loaded baked potato with the works half the toppings ere missing, and slow very poor cashier dosnt know how to use her till wasn't in training ciukdbt even do simple mathematics tried to tell us there was 20 dollars in taxes on our 40 dollars meal. Avoid at all costs very poor customer service and care
I love the Orillia Swiss Chalet, the food and service is always spot on!
I am thinking that ...cuz I am not really a big fan of. this kind of food that is my reason for the 3rating ....its a nice place ...though
Extremely poor service Untrained employees
Convenient and consistently good.
Usually stop here on our way home from hunting and fishing trips and it's always been good. This time they had no white meat chicken! Hard to believe! Had the beef dinner, definitely not what its hyped to be.
Fast and excellent
Most amazing and friendly service, the last time I went and ordered my server was Ashley at Harvey's, my mom was very impressed with how she had prepared and packaged our meals, and Ashley presented an incredibly kind and friendly attitude during her work.
Great food but the delivery system is a mess...the don’t mention it’s cash only....then I tried to pay via credit card....can’t....been on hold for 20 minutes to some call centre trying to give them money....I could have drove to the restaurant and stopped at the ATM on the way by now....what is the point....
Good food at reasonable prices. Wait staff very good with our children.
Excellent service felt safe and comfortable!!
Great service and great food. Thanks.
It was busy for the anniversary special, I understand; however half the restaurant was empty and there still was a 25 min wait to sit down...short staffed on a day management can anticipate to be busy and those staff who were there seemed generally miserable (probably overworked). The food was ok. On a general note (as this is likely a franchise practice), as I waited I noticed that you store your individual salads in plastic bags, then add dressing, croutons, etc to shake and mix, then discard. So EVERY individual salad equates to another plastic bag in the dump!! What a horrible practice for the environment and a waste!! That needs to change!! Frustrating.
Food was awesome .great service
Always yummy
Great food good service
Good food
the worst take out i have ever had ,The ribs were like chewing rubber the chicken not that good
Was alright nothing special.
This location is fantastic. The food is always done perfectly, the restaurant is very clean and the service is excellent. I highly recommend!
Best ever
Food was great and friendly staff
Clean fast great service...
Waitress took a little long to get to us to take our order, other than that, it was was good as per usual.
Awesome service, great food
Nice quick service
Sub-par service. Had to wait almost an hour for a salad because "a table of 15 people came". Salad would have been edible, if it wasn't for the bottle of dressing they drenched on it. Meh.
Good atmosphere, good food and good prices.
If I could give a 0 star I would. This has to be one of the most unorganized restaurants in all of north bay. Always waiting rediculous times here.
Fast friendly and very yummy !
The food was great and our server was friendly.
So nice to be able to get out and enjoy a meal inside with family
Quick takeout and the return of Chicken and shrimp awesome ????
Has absolute nothing to do with switzerland. They dont offer swiss food. The offered food was ok.
Good food, good price, super fast.
Excellent meal and service
Always consistent, great service ????.
Great food and fast service. We find it better to order online when they are busy to have your order processed fastest! Still the old style setup, but again the food is great so that's what's most important.
Had a wonderful experience with our server Steven K today, thank you for the great experience, food was awesome, very pleased!
The food was great as always and the service was great.I definatly would recommend Swiss chalet to everyone who loves good food
I ordered chicken and 1/3 rack of ribs with oven baked potatoe. Chicken was good, but I felt it was a bit small. Ribs were well seasoned but hard, they missed extra cooking. Sauce was good. Service should have been a little faster in my opinion.
Great servers.
Good food. Yummy
Good rotisserie chicken, friendly staff, and quick service.
I love Swiss Chalet. I do. Have been besties with them for many years, but this is a first. We were at a hotel in Orillia and daunted by the chilly winds, we decided to have dinner delivered. Caveat emptor. Buyer beware, and read the small print at the end before you close your order. I ordered comfort food, a bowl of chili with tostitos for one and a classic dinner for the other and then I just hoped they would arrive at least good and Warm. Right on time, the call from the desk, and I run down the stairs to assist the food to get to my room asap. Yes, it was good and Warm, no disappointment there. But guess what I had left undone! I did not ask for cutlery. And because I did not ask, there was none in the delivery. A BOWL OF CHILI WITH YOUR FINGERS???? Really?? I did call to let them know but the manager hurried right over to the take-out and delivery phone and checked to make sure whose fault it was that there was NO Cutlery in my order. Obviously she was safe because it was my fault. Unfortunately I had already given a positive review on the online menu and order facility. So I even had to eat my words!! So, I tell you now, somewhere on the internet menu and order window is a space for you to remember to ask for cutlery and maybe even napkins, because if you don't ask, they will not send them and you will get to eat it all with your fingers. Mangia, mangia!
Good food and good service. Reasonable prices
Good food Good and fast services
It was fast and good
We picked up our order this afternoon at the Memorial Ave location. We were so looking forward to it because this would be our first take out in over 3 months. When we got home and unwrapped our dinners we were sadly disappointed! The French fries were overdone to the point of burned and were completely dried out. It seems they may have been laying under the warming tray for hours. Our chicken wasn't much better. Dried out and not smelling good. Our buns were like rocks. We've never had such a poor dinner and were so disappointed. We were really looking forward to the usual excellent experience from Swiss Chalet. Neither of us finished our meals. We won't be ordering from them again anytime soon. Lesson learned, check your meal before taking it home! Ours was beyond awful. Laurie Hawkins
Always good yum yum yum and decently priced my favorite part is unlimited Shirley Temple's
Love swiss chalet
Great Food, Nice waitresses and pleasant atmosphere...
Crispy chicken seemed burnt. Service was good and very friendly. Food was disappointing.
The service was great. Our server was super nice and didn't miss a beat. The prices are a bit high for what it is but asides from that everything was good
Good chicken
The hostess was unprofessional and unhappy as she tossed the menu’s on the table. Our order was taken by a server who was clearly training someone (which is fine, but not setting the best example) Things seemed alright until 30 minutes after our appetizer had left our table and we still hadn’t been approached with our main course, let alone notified that there may be some wait time. We were really confused because the restaurant was visibly quiet and the majority of the staff were hanging out at the bar, including the supervisor/manager. Our server mentioned she was off shift and that our food would be out shortly, but we never received an apology until our food made it to our table by a nice server (Mike, I believe) about 1 hour and 10 minutes after being in the restaurant with no explanation. Love Swiss Chalet, but I will not be recommending this location.
Wish we had Swiss Chalet in England
Its swiss chalet. Good food service was very nice.
Really great delivery service! Friendly driver and food was all super hot and delicious. Scene point service was down but they told us to take the receipt to follow up after. Good customer service.
I always enjoy dining out at Swiss chalet, food is always good and the beverages are fair priced. You're guaranteed service with a smile and you'll never be disappointed. ????
Meal was on time and Hot. Service was great and the price was very affordable !!!
Another disappointing experience. Slow service, 30+ minutes wait for food then presented with sloppy dishes and cold fries. Considering the price point, it’s poor value. I keep trying every third month or so but it’s been a string of similar experiences.
Great meal.
The 1/4 chicken dinner portion is not worth the $ not even a wing on ours ????
Our party of six thought Swiss Chalet would be a good place to have dinner before seeing a concert at the casino. The food took forever, our waitress ignored us and when the food finally came, it was cold. Swiss Chalet is a good place to eat where I live but in Orillia it was a huge disappointment.
Greatest
Thanks Kelly for a great meal and GREAT SERVICE! DENYSE
Small portions, not worth the money.
Really friendly service from our server Kelli, Good food and great ambiance.
Tonight we went to Swiss chalet as a family (my husband my 5 year old son and I) we wanted to take our son before the lockdown came back into effect and it's our sons favourite place to eat. We had a great experience!!! I don't normally feel compelled to leave review but I just had to today! Our server Alex was so kind and attentive and great with us and with our son. Her customer service was so amazing and we had one of the best family dinners out! Thank you Alex for your amazing hospitality and for talking spongebob with our son. We had a great end to our night!!
Haven't always had the best experience. Under cooked burgers, disappointing service. Good thing the food is good, it's what helps us overlook the downs.
The staff were super friendly. After my husband, children and I had a long we decided to try this location. We received our food and went to park to eat. The fries were cold, same with the chicken nuggets and my daughter's and husbands burgers. I love Swiss Chalet however I will not go back to this location. It was a very disappointing meal after a long work day.
Great food
Small portions than normal....however seems to be the way CARA corporation makes their money these days. Service was slow and really non existing. Overall the place is Filthy. ..the cushions in the booths are actually matted with dirt...real turn off when you're trying to eat
What can you say . Always great
Good food and excellent service. Parking is available. Easy to get to. Prices are very good value. Cheers
The food was fresh, hot, and delicious
Slow service
Very long wait
Service was great and super fast. Exactly what I wanted. The menu is standard Swiss Chalet cooked well.
Great food and served quick
Good
Food is always good at SC! Great value.
Very friendly service
Very friendly and fast service, excellent food they make you feel like royalty, nuff said
Kelli was wonderful server and the food was delightful
Expected meal and service from the restaurant but I ran into trouble with the delivery. Cold food and soggy fries. I think they should just stick to the dining room experience.
Ordered delivery and half the food did not come the first trip ...then the second trip they added a bunch of butter and sauce that didn't go with meal and forgot dressings ... meal was then cold and not the best after waiting so long . Will not be ordering delivery from them again ????
Very bad service . I had very bad chicken and it was raw.
I order online and chose the gravy and they put swiss sauce on the order instead so i called in told them what happened. i was transferred to another person without being told then i had to re-explain, was put on hold many times without being asked before and again i was being transferred without being told to a manger and they said whats your issue in a very rude tone they said what do you want us to do about it call the call center. Not to mention that our fries for our 2 meals that i ordered were cold and raw in the middle. This is the third time that i have had my order messed up online and will never be going to this restaurant or ordering from them again. Especially after being treated like trash and nor will i recommend this place to anyone and i spent 40.00 on 2 meals that were msinly inedible. Horrible customer service.
Great price great food great service
Wasn't impressed
Always great food and amazing service.
Had the soup and chicken sandwich it was very good. Definitely will order it again. Our server Tony was terrific.
Horrible management. Waiter was nice but the wait took forever.
Sabrina was our waitress and was very welcoming and provided excellent customer service and quite cheerful. Our food was hot and delicious Thank-you. Keep up the good work. Will will return again...
Great food, friendly staff
Food and service was good.
Third time in two weeks
Don't bother with curbside, waited 10 mins at the curb, went inside and they had it ready, and we're never going to come out. Missing my stuffing, and the guy wanted to inspect my meal for the stuffing as if it's the heist of 2020.
The waitresses there the day we went for lunch were miserable. You need to get new staff. Miserable people don't belong in a place like that. All I asked for was to be seated at a booth and the waitress mumbled something and looked miserable.
For your information! This review is from a teenager's perspective. Three words: Delicious Chicken Dinners. Alright, I can't just sum this place up with 3 words. It's deserving of a full review. The decor is fasionable and modern-ish, there are twists during certain holidays (Like the festive christmas specials) and the special "Chalet Sauce"... It's just... MMMMM! ???? So delicious! Overall, it is definitely a place to go to, and let me just say, I suggest trying the chicken, at least once.
My girlfriend and I went for dinner and it was by far the worst meal either one of us has had in a long time. We both got a full rack of ribs with the parm glazed fries. My girlfriend's salad had an over abundance of cheese, mine had an over abundance of croutons. My ribs were alright a little burnt and I found a bristle on my ribs. My girlfriend's ribs were hard to pull apart and too hard to chew. To top off all the issues, the only option given to us was to wait on them to make us another rack of ribs, seeing as we both had issues with them neither of us wanted them replaced so we paid full price and left unhappy with our meals.
Wasnt happy with over cooked ribs and under portioned sides
We did our order online. The place was super busy. But my food on time and was an amazing meal. Have never been disappointed with the food or service
This location works hard to accommodate you! Great service by our server who was promptly apologetic when she didn’t even need to be with respect to timing. We’ll keep this in mind when passing through Orillia again. The new Parmesan fries and Kale Caesar sides are super tasty additions as well.
It's okay. Had a few times with slightly undercooked meals. Very clean and service from waiters and waitresses was great
Good location
Just a place to stop and eat while going home.
A very enjoyable Festive dinner with my Grandmother .
Great service from Heather. The food was fast and delicious no waiting at all great service good atmosphere. That's part you can use your coupons LOL
You can't go wrong at Swiss Chalet for value and good food..
Always so good for so less also take out order sucks dine in only
Great fast and friendly service from Shannon. Enjoyed a wonderful meal. Thank you ????
My server, Kelli, was do helpful. Made my meal delightful.
Wow so good !!!
Good food and great service...
Our waitress was very polite and took care of us great We will definitely be back. ????
We ordered ahead and picked up. We had three festive meals .The food was really good .The meat was juicy and all the sides were really tasty.
Always good service and great food.
Quick service
Usual fare but good.
Great service tonight
Not healthy, many other places provide better burgers for the same car Cost. If you're in a hurry.
Always delicious. Great to spend time there with our family.
Always good food and good service
The food was good, thank you kitchen staff. The person who sat us was a bit sour. Our server appeared as though he hated his job and we were a bother to him. Hopefully he was just having a bad day so I tipped him well in hopes that helped put a smile on his face. He was very abrupt. We asked what wing sauce they had and he snapped back with tone and discust on his face and said it's right there on the menu. Tip, if someone asks, just answer. You should know your job. He snapped a few times to us, brought the wrong meal to the ppl at the table beside us and gave THEM a dirty look when they said it wasn't what they ordered. He really is more suited for an assembly line job as customer service is way out of his league. It did make me feel like I'm not interested in going to this location anymore. I'll just stick with the Barrie Bayfield St location. Always wonderful there.
Yummy chimkcen
Yum
And now getting SCENE points!!!
The waitress Megan was awesome, it was clean and safe to eat there, and the food was good...
Food was hot, tasted good and in a timely fashion.
This is what Shannon told us to do to get 10% off our meal. ???? Thank you Shannon for the great service. Sorry for the spilled Pepsi at the end ???? Two thumbs up to the cooks. Good was delicious
Last time we visited, no chicken. Time before that, cold food. This time, flavorless watered down chicken soup, chicken sandwiches had extremely stale buns with a dot of chicken in them. Asked for well done fries, there were literally 12 fries on my plate that looked & tasted like they were quickly dropped in the fryer and taken out. Once again a horribly subpar experience at this location. You guys are giving a fabulous restaurant like Swiss Chalet a bad name. We are tired of second chances & will never return to this location. Extremely disappointed. Once again.
You always know what you're going to get...great service, great chicken.
Ultimate burger is a hit!
My lunch was perfect but my mother was unable to eat half of her ribs as all fat and gristle. Our waitress seemed very distracted and could care less. We did not want discount or free just wanted her to know. No sorry or anything! Asked for napkins twice and from 2 different servers. Went and got them myself. Have never been dissatisfied at this location where we always stop but this trip has made me so unhappy that i don't think we will return. Will not recommend to others travelling through either.
Delicious food that is somewhat overpriced, there's a day of the week for all you can eat wings, restaurant is kept clean, atmosphere is pleasant. People I know who have worked there in the past complain about rampant sexual harassment.
Great food and excellent service provided by Tanner. Thank you!
I went in to eat and there was an issue. Ali handled it extremely well with a great attitude. Calm, understanding, empathetic people like her are so rare. Oh yeah. The food is good as well
Waitress wasn't paying attention. Food was extremely salty.
A little slow, and the tables could have been cleaner. Staff were friendly. Food was good. I couldn't sign in to the WiFi.
Love the ribs
Quick check in !
Excellent food and above average prices. Good service from staff but had to wait a long time for our food to arrive.
Long wait but friendly staff
Had great time. Great staff. Good portion nice price
Greasy and cold fries, small chicken.
My son and I went to this restaurant and we absolutelly loved it. We plan on maybe making it a regular place to go out for a nice meal. The young man who served us was very kind and service was fast. The food was awesome! I even asked if forklifts were available to carry me to my vehicle,my belly was so full..LOL We look forward to going there to eat again =)
The meat came out cold
The food is good, but the wait time for delivery was 40 minutes over the original 60 minute estimate. Called to see where the order was at and was told 5 more minutes. The lie detector determined, that was a lie. Finally the food arrived cold and looking like it had been shaken not stirred, and the salad dressing was open. Disappointed
Our services was great! We were very pleased with how friendly the server was. Would visit again :-)
Food was cold
Love chicken pot pie
Had lunch and it was great! The food was hot and came out super quick. We had a great sever Shannon. Would recommend for lunch it it's quite.
The food was delicious but the service was very slow! I don't know if our server was new! We almost got up and left, because we waited 10 minutes before our server even acknowledged that we were there! Usually the service is better than that.
Best Swiss Chalet I've been to! Great staff, great, service and great food. They also have a really nice air freshener in their bathroom, haha!
Great server and great fare
Always good food and service
Food was good. Server not so much.
I had the rotisserie beef and my granddaughter had the quater chicken. Excellent service and good food. Fast service and prompt. Thanks Tanner service was great :)
Good food and ok service
Delicious food! Yum, yum yum..
Good service and great staff. Never disappointed eating here.
The swiss chalet in Alliston I have found to be the best one in my area the staff is friendly and knowledgeable about there menu items food is always hot and if there is a problem the staff fixes it no questions asked no to me that is service
Great delivery guy, taste good, nice portions only thing baked potato was cold.
This Swiss Chalet was really good! Nice atmosphere, quick service, and good food.
(Translated) Courteous and prompt service The waiter served us in French (Original) Service courtois et rapide Le serveur nous a servi en français
Fantastic
Has a Harveys as well. Love their hamburgers!
Dry on dark meat, It must be not easy
Clean excellent service
Friendly staff and great food
Girls are super nice and patient with my mom who is 88. The soup is hearty and hits the spot. We will be back soon.
Lucky that I have to even give a star!! Worst place to order delivery from. Got the wrong order and when I went to call to have it fixed... it took 24 calls to get through to someone.... terrible customer service!! Extremely disappointed. Will Never eat here again. Food was Luke warm to cold... terrible!!
Great meal and service
Great food, excellent staff.
My favorite
Meal was exceptional and the service was excellent as always. Our server was Tanner. She was pleasant, efficient and very helpful.
Tasty Angus burgers!
Went for lunch. Great food, excellent friendly service. Lost a star for the way-to-loud music blasting. Had to shout across the table to my friends.
Had Tanner as a server, super friendly service and great food.
Good is good and serves is good
Steven as server...very good service...pleasant person
Great food and service
Hadn't eaten here since I was a kid, the quality has really gone down since then, mix up with orders doesn't help either, won't be going back any time soon
Shannon our server was polite and cheerful. Knew what she was doing! Good job.
Florence and I are fully satisfied with the very tasty meal and the coconut cream pie we had for dessert, we give Swiss Chalet a big 5 star. Plus a very pleasant waitress named Susan.
Disappointed that you don't have your garlic home loaf any more... I tried the pull apart garlic loaf and it's not as good, it wasn't as soft and why no tomatoes on it?
Ordered delivery Friday night. Not only were the fries and chicken dried out, but I received white meat instead of the dark I had ordered. And to top it off I had no dressing for my salad! Seriously, how do you expect me to eat this? Not happy and will not be a repeat customer!!
My favorite place to eat
I will never come here again. Gross gross gross. I'd rather the Lindsay location ANY DAY. nasty nasty food.
Food was ready very fast. Thanks for the friendly service Tanner
Take out ribs, not fall off the bone. SC use to be above the rest, now below average.
Good quality food but very busy and slow
The restaurant was clean. For staff they were friendly.
Had to wait 45 mins for my meal. They ran out of white meat ! It's not going to be a future goto on spur of moment.
30 min wait for white meat. Went with the dark meat not too bad.
Love chicken and ribs.
Everytime I do there its insanely slow !
Great service. Food was very good
Great service, they bring the order out to your car and are always friendly.
Waited far too long for my food. When it arrived, it looked like some angry lunch lady dropped it on my plate. I wish I'd taken a picture because nobody would believe how badly it was presented. We were also sat in the very back of the restaurant and had to wear our coats in the middle of the winter as we were informed that the heat in that section wasn't on.
It's a Swiss Chalet, I can order Harveys when we go there So I'm happy.
Fries and stuffing arrived cold
Excellent food, service was also very good.
John the owner there he does not give a s*** it's the waitresses don't wash their hands a dirty place to work to
....my Sunday dinner treat...double leg dinner or for a change, ribs...always a favourite go-to for a meal...
We had the spring rolls and the spinach dip as appetizers. The spring rolls were good but the spinach dip didn't taste like it was fresh. My husband ordered the chicken wings no complain there. I ordered the ribs, they were not edible. Honestly the worst i've had from Swiss Chalet. Our waitress was the best which is why it is still a 4-star. She was the highlight of the evening. She got me better ribs to take with me, I have yet to try those ones.
server was great. Food was typical for Swiss Chalet. However part of the food was cold when it came. But the server came good on it right away
They have taken some of my favourites off the menu. Still great chicken and dip though. Service is top-notch.
Great chicken and dip
Steven was my server: very pleasant service
Jazzy was friendly and helpful and knew her stuff Thank you Jazzy we will be back
One month ago I ordered a hot chicken sandwich and full rack of ribs both with gravy.when I got home, I got both orders without fries. I called back and they told me that fries was extra. I called their main office and they said they would send me something in the mail to compensate. I got nothing.Jan.24 2022.????
Ordered Family whole chicken deal on May 25 and picked up at 5:05. Swiss Chalet was once the best but, to me, it seems that the quality, service and value continues to drop especially in the last few years. This particular location in Orillia is especially bad. Recently I complained about the horrible unedible fries and the manger/supervisor told me that it is because the potatoes are old and they will be getting a new batch of potatoes soon. Then she said that they only "look" bad but taste good. I've been eating these fries for many years and know what how they usually taste....these were burnt, dried out, as if they had been re fried more than once. This is the second time for same problem in 1 month. I'm done and no longer a customer. Never again.
I ordered on line and it was ready early hot and delicious. The location was very busy the staff were awesome
Great food and service. Sometimes kitchen slow because they get so busy. Awful parking. Good takeout section
The ribs and chicken special was really good at the fries were nicely done we also had the potatoes with the sour cream which was very good
We love Swiss chalet, but they seem to run out of things. No green beans and no shrimp.
Awesome
Good quality food Good service Prices good Love the CAA MEMBER discount
Service was very slow
There one manger who is very rude and that manger name is Chad
was terrible food and zervi e manager was a birch during zervung
Great food, fast-ish drive through
Great service!
Good tasting food good ribs and chicken. Try the festive special
The fries were as hard as rock. The explanation was that the staff blanching the fries is new and is overcooking. Why blanch ? Fries make or break your business and it's a cheap staple. Make them fresh and not double cooked. People don't mind the wait.
Very slow and no where near acceptable service, very small chicken pcs served. People waiting over half hour for initial service for drinks and another half hour plus for food to arrive. Very small portions. Not impressed.
Good food and service, as usual.
We sat in the North Bay restaurant for 1.5 hours before our meal finally came out. The waitress kept saying that our wait was because everyone came in at once.we Which we all knew was not true . As there were no plates coming out of the kitchen for 40 plus minutes. What a joke when you spend 2 hours in a restaurant for a single plate of food.
Great menu.. Excellent takeout
Love the classic chickin served at swiss chalet!
Very long wait in drive through, over 45 minutes
Kelli is realy nice person and good service with a nice smile keep up the service and the good food
Excellent meal. We had the special: two appetizers, two main courses, and two desserts on special for $29.99! We shared our apps with the in-laws as they ordered something different and we had a lot of food for a great price! I love going to Swiis Chalet :-)
I like the curbside service
Excellent
Always so good for so little
Ok
Amazing service, excellent food, reasonably priced
Great food and atmosphere
Lunch after a day of flying. A good variety of food. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff.
Great staff service, would have been nice to be given cutlery instead of having to ask for it.
Food cold and v slow service today ☹️
We enjoyed an early dinner at Swiss chalet for my dads birthday! Bailey was our server and she was super friendly and helpful! The service was great, the food came out hot and fast!!! Great dinner! Great service!
Don't go anymore
Chicken was very dry
Awesome dinner !
Despite the restaurant being extremely busy, the service and the meal were still quite good.
Food is always great. Service is good and with a smile. Great prices.
Very delicious Mother’s Day lunch meal with my wonderful girlfriend???? Thank you Tanner for the wonderful pleasant experience and prompt service. ????????
Very disappointed in swiss chalet as to.. they no longer supply you with the new year coupon for 2 for dinner anymore
Always love the quality of the chicken here.
Ordered pick-up using their website and was told that I had to wait in the Harvey's order line to get it (which only has three spots indoors due to covid limits so I had to wait outside for much of the time). I ended up having to wait 20 minutes just to get to the till. The staff looked like they didn't know what they were doing. Everything was super disorganized. When I finally got up to the till, I had to wait another 4-5 minutes before a staff returned to it. While waiting there, other staff tried to open up my bags, which were sitting on the counter! It looked like they were trying to open them up to give something to a Skip the Dishes order. They stopped and apologized when I told them that the bags were mine (my name was written on them). To top it all off, the food ended up being soggy from the wait and they mixed up our order! We paid extra for white meat and got dark meat instead. The fries were also gross. My son was so disgusted by the greasy chicken leg (dark meat not white which we paid for) and the soggy fries, that he wouldn't touch it and we ended up tossing the whole meal. It was such a terrible experience that I will never go back. The location also sucks; it takes 10 minutes just to get in and out there. What a waste of time and money.
Service was good, food wasn't as hot
Jazmin she is great!!
Yuck
Always great service and great food! One of our favorite places to eat!
Great food
We had excellent service and food at a very good price. Very cheerful waitress.
I brought my daughter and her friend there last night for dinner. My daughter had a veggie burger and fries, which she enjoyed. Her friend had a 1/4 chicken dinner and a Caesar salad...again, she thought it was okay. Mine was a 1/4 of what would have been a chicken if they let it grow up a bit. Seriously, it was so tiny I almost felt like I was eating a little bird....lol. The fries were old and not quite warm, but the roll and butter were decent. What really got me though was the over zealous server - Steve I think. No intro while seating, and we were still standing when he tried to take our drink order. I told him to maybe wait til we sat down and had a look at what is offered. Honest to gawd he was back 3 times while we were still looking at the menu to ask if we were ready (it was far from busy in there). I think he must have been in a hurry to get the already cooked rest of the dinner food out because man! Our dinner was in front of us within 3-5 minutes! Is it me or is the overall quality Swiss Chalet getting worse instead of better? Maybe check out that new Mary Browns down the road as an alternative. One star each from my daughter and her friend.
I moved around Canada growing up and my family and I always loved stopping in at Swiss Chalets in between moving provinces. It was a staple for us whenever we drove across the country. Always good food, and never disappointed. However, after seeing hundreds of Swiss Chalets around Canada, this one is by far the worst I have ever seen. I’ve given this location multiple chances, but time and time again have found myself disappointed. Whether it’s the food being bad, or incorrect, all the way to rude staff. This place is just a mess. I love Swiss Chalet, but this place is giving the company a bad rep!
Ask for chicken breasts got pigeon breast
Extremely slow service and the portions are small. I requested fresh chicken when I placed my order. Dried chicken is what she gave me and proceeded to tell me that it was fresh. 15 minutes before we saw a server. Then another 20 to recieve our food. We also had to ask for our refills and we barely saw service within our time here. If your in a hurry go somewhere else
Great Snack on the run
Great service Tanner did great job
Needs to have a lunch special, but otherwise everything else was excellent
Good food
Yummy food
This Swiss Chalet location has always been reliable for myself and our family. Not to mention they have been great when handling large orders for community events & clients.
Kelli was very friendly and made our meal out very pleasant! Thank you so much to the staff for the wonderful food amd drinks ! ????
Staff was friendly, but the "new crispy chicken sandwich" with a side was NOT a good value! The sandwiches were small, and didn't look anything like the ads on TV/ the ads in the restaurant. The sandwiches were $13.99, and you can get a better/ bigger chicken sandwich at Independant grocery store for $5.99. Wish we had a Popeye's in North Bay
You get what you get, and you know what it is, so no surprises, but great service!
Enjoyed my dinner at Swiss Chalet with my husband. Our server Tanner was friendly and attentive, and our meals were the same consistent quality that brings us back here. There were so many sweet potato fries that I took some home in a doggie bag!
Great service, great food, good and clean location.
This is the worst restaurant to order from i placed an order at 9 am to be dropped off for mothers day at 4:30 pm same day they took my money and still have not delivered. Tried calling the restaurant and they won't pick up. Tried the website crashed. Called there general support number they could not do a thing, even they could not get through to the restaurant. Called tech support they hung up, never even rung. Save your money and order somewhere else, the only thing they will do is steal your money and ruin your dinner. Been on the phone for two hours never got through, now I have to try and get a refund as they have no problem taking your money. Would give zero stars if there was an option.
Always fast and great food!
Our server was very pleasant. Food was deliscious.
Swiss Chalet always good
Thanks Tanner for the great service and great food.
Food was good and no waiting time that time we went
Don't trust them for hiring the will abuse the probational period ,and they food is greasy and the fries are not cooking properly, the burger aren't cooked properly ,nothing in this place is cooked properly
First of all the staff where great and my ribs delicious. My wife ordered the quarter chicken special. She had the leg. It was the smallest piece of chicken we have ever seen and also over cooked. For some reason one of us is always disappointed. The Swiss Chalet in Barrie is better. We live outside of Midland and don't have a real Swiss Chalet. We have a Harvey's that serves chicken but it is not the same so we have to drive to get to a Swiss Chalet .We really could use a Swiss Chalet in Midland.
Everytime we go here the food is great and the waitstaff are wonderful
Shannon was a great Courtois waitress she was polite and patient.
Food was really good but noticed the portions have gone down quite a bit and not worth the price . I Was there December 31 2017 new year eve family dinner. Too bad
Good food and service ... a little annoyed with the Christmas music before rememberance day
The food was fresh and delicious and excellent service as well as courtious and friendly staff
Super, super service!! We had questions and we received fast answers. Not only from our server but from all of the servers. Very good service, happy a and cheerful in the restaurant. We are from Alberta visiting and so far we are happy with our trip.
Nice place for dinner with family and friends
Last 4 times I've ordered from here I've paid for food I didn't get. Tonight was the last straw after paying close to $100 for a birthday meal that wasn't fully complete. For what you charge this is unacceptable.
Dry dry dry...
Great food, great staff!
Great sweet girl Shannon
Good food. Great service.
Worse meal I have had in North Bay, not to mention the service was poor and the guy serving needs to take a course in proper etiquette when serving the public. I ordered chicken and had almost a full plate of nothing but rice. Furthermore this waiter when asked if we could please get some milk for our tea and coffee, he threw it on the table. I have to wonder who is doing the training at this establishment! I will never go Back!!!!! I’ve had better food and better service from ordering a pizza.
Absolutely terrible service! We had to call 2 times and our order was over an hour late. Driver was great and was very apologetic. Said one of the driver's quit!?
Good meal for a reasonable price
The chicken, ribs, and chicken pot pie were all very good.
Good meal. Really getting pricey for chicken!
Good, tasty meal. Comfortable localization. Clean place. Nice, familiar staff.
Delish as usual
Good food all the time
Pick up order for Swiss chalet is poorly set up... you need to wait in the Harvey’s line....
good
Terrible experience here. Was ordering online & specifically called in store to make sure they take debit on delivery, 2 different ladies talked & both told me “of course” they take debit. I went back to my order, ordered $80 worth of dinner for my bf and mother, about an hour later the man came to the door to tell me they don’t take debit on delivery. We called back and the manager “micheal” had told us we don’t just give away free food & who cares if they’re just going to be throwing it away. Very very disappointed.
Very disappointed in the service charge to use my credit card for a delivery. Driver told me it's based on the amount and can increase. Last time I will ever order from Swiss chalet again. Was never advised of this fee, almost told the driver to take the food back but it was 7PM and I was hungry. Also I ordered a chicken sandwich on a Kaiser and I have to pay for mayo what a joke. Food was ok so no complaint there.
Haven't been there for years now it's a favourite. Prices are very reasonable and you get great size quantities.
Stopped delivering to my area without any information .Up yours Swiss chalet. I'll spend my money elsewhere!!!!
ordered from app, to be ready at 5:50, arrived and app quit working, had to shut phone down and try again, 6:04 got threw. half hour later and still waiting for food. not happy. may have to reconsider ordering from there again.
Came to the North Bay Swiss Chalet and had an excellent chicken dinner lunch. Kelli was Super friendly with quick and efficient service!!!
Amazing service and hot fresh food!
Kelli was a fantastic server today with us! We had you last time too! Always a pleasure!
Shannon was the best!!!! Always smiled and made us feel welcomed. I will be back for sure.
The meal was a disaster. The service was worse.
Awesome service and great dining experience at the North Bay location. Steven the server was excellent.
This last meal did it for us. We used to favour Swiss Chalet however, the last several take out meals have been horrible. The fries are never fresh and the quarter chicken is so overdone it's literally dried out and burnt. They can't even remember to put in extras ordered like sauce! I don't think we'll give them a other try, 3+ strikes and they're off our list of places to eat. Maybe this only happens with take out - we haven't eaten in the restaurant in over 2 years so I can't comment on the food or service there.
I tried the Great Canadian feast which included a cob of corn- the piece of corn was tiny and nothing special. The chicken and baked potato were good. Overall-it was just okay.
The food is consistent from location to location. Love their chicken and fresh fries
Always great chicken but not the deal it used to be. Awesome fries and of course SC sauce.
My server Kelli was awesome!
This place has two strikes against it don't know if I'll go back again for three strikes. First time the quarter chicken was so small I had to complain. The second time we arrived later in the evening after fishing service was good but they started renovating before they closed and I had to ask to move seats because the tables joining us we're getting ripped apart and shaking the table and all our drinks which was a aggravation.
Long wait to be seated and very slow service. Kept going by me while i would wait for my bill and not a good experience.
Good food and service
Waitress was good but good wasn't that great . Roll was hard and chicken wing ends were burnt. But service was good
Good
Always good food
Kelli was very nice and very friendly. very professional. she definately has lots of experience
Reasonable price and good selection.
Was super happy that they took my concern very seriously and gave me a new meal!!!
The take out Manager the cook and the young lad were very welcoming and friendly!! The food was hot fresh and our Gluten Free orders were hot fresh and packed with care in prevention of any cross contamination! Thank you to the take out crew the chocolate was divine :0)
Always consistent good service quick with the food
Tanner served us on Father’s Day 2019. Quality service. Friendly, prompt, and helpful service!
SERVICE WAS GOOD BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE CHICKEN WAS VERY DRY AND COLD.
Consistent food and value you can rely on from Swiss Chalet. If you are from a large city or business area, where food arrives in 15mins or less - don't expect that to be a normal practice. Almost all Swiss Chalet's out of the GTA have longer wait times, but you can at least know your food is served fresh!
10 minute wait for server for beverage, 40 minute wait for food. For the entire wait, not one server update and hardly busy today. Noticed at least 3 other tables looking around for their server and/or food. Terrible experience here.
Chicken was tough meals were mixed up
Delicious bbq chicken and ribs here
Hit and miss with this location. Chicken often overcooked. Last order of chicken spring rolls was a joke. They are now half the original size. Getting expensive for the amount of food you get. Update April 17, 2019. Tried delivery again. I was never advised that delivery in town (Orillia) could be 90mins when making an order just after 7pm. The website showed a 1hr wait. Nope. It is near 8:30pm, no food, no answer at the Restaurant, no more orders for me. Will send it all back if it ever shows up.
Called Swiss Chalet for a single quarter chicken dinner and was quoted 50 minutes for delivery, also told that this establishment doesn't take debit, only cash or visa over the phone. I understand it gets busy but 50 minutes for delivery is absurd. Very disappointed tonight as I was looking forward to some rotisserie chicken.....
Kelli is an awesome waitress. Very friendly and efficient.
Always a great deal at Swiss Chalet (especially if you like BBQ chicken - yum!)
Excellent service. Food was good.
Lunch was quick and Tanner was Very friendly and full of information we enjoyed our lunch tremendously!
I loved it girl's are great
Nice and clean. Good service
Awesome fries
Good food and service. Kelli was a great server!
Staff was a bit slow considering how empty it was. Sold out of ribs. My wings were fine if small.
Love the roast beef dinners
We recently had dinner at the North Bay Swiss Chalet before seeing a movie. Steve seared us and we waited quite a while for a waitress. Steve saw we hadn’t been waited on yet and offered to take over (even though we weren’t in his section). He was quick and quite sociable! We would recommend him anytime! Thanks for taking such good care of us.
Great service huge dining area
Gotten way too expensive for seniors
Great food and friendly fast service.
Very unhappy with meal burnt bun luck warm meal
Great service
Good food and service
It was horrible. Food was not fresh. It was heated. Ribs tasted like old. Very dry. No sauce. I don't recommend this place at all.
Very good, good service and food
Great service from Shannon. Great food !!!
Great meal at reasonable price,good service,clean and nearby
Pretty good chicken but serving are getting smaller
We have been coming here with our 3 kids whenever we are visiting North Bay; the food and service is consistently very good! Thank to our server Kelli!
Always a good quick meal on the takeout.
Great customer service always.
The phone experience was horrible when ordering but the food was ok Swiss Chalet.
Place had good service. Quarter chicken portion keeps getting smaller and smaller
Good food, good prices. Good for family dinners with kids. Can get a bit noisy.
Food was cold. Presentation was terrible Was told I get vegetables with my meal and I just got a backed potatoe and a piece of chicken park. Asked about the veg and she said "Yeah sorry I was wrong you have to pay for it as it's an extra. Had to send my dinner back to get heated.
It is always amazing and great service
Loved it
Swiss haley is always yummy chicken. Never disappoints. The festive meal is great and includes Lindor.
Tanner was very friendly. She did a great job explaining the current specials and was very prompt with service. As always, the food was yummy and fresh.
Shannon is friendly and service was fantastic!!
40 minutes waiting for two chicken dinners, 20 minute wait to get in
Typical Swiss Chalet. Staff is friendly.
Great service!
Great value.
Kelly was a fabulous waitress!
They offer some great specials and the staff at the pick up has been awesome. We were missing a sauce we paid for and the fries weren't great but overall really like this restaurant
Great food - always fresh and delicious. Staff are attentive to your visit - whether it's nipping in for a lunch break at work for speedy service, or a catch up with friends for a longer time - they are great.
Good food, reasonable price, good service.
Great food. Lots cost. Quick service. What more can you ask for?
Great family place good service
Lisa the server was great
Waitress was amazing however wrong food brought for apps . Then my entree was cold .sent back only to find hair in my fries . Not local traveled to have a special night out . Not a fantastic experience and pretty much positive we won't be back !
good food convenient location
Our server Tanner, kept up the long standing great service that we have experienced here over the years. This Swiss Chalet has become our must stop when we are travelling to or through North Bay!
Kelly was awesome & dinner was great!
Recently ordered from the Orillia Swiss Chalet for the first time. The contactless pickup process was easy, food was ready on time and was delicious!
Did not get our whole order two meals missing. No dressing/chocolates....girls were looking forward to them.
Good food
Service was very slow ..over an hour for swiss chalet Food was good
Great place
Very busy; did not get the order correct; missing 2 items one of which I paid extra for as it was not part of the special pkg. Ordered a whole bird, got parts to make up most of bird instead, will likely not go to the Orillia location again. Every time I have gone to this location in the last 6 months, (4x),either my order was wrong....or someone else at the same window had trouble with their order
Shannon was an excellent server. Food arrived quickly and was delicious.
Typical Swiss Chalet, clean, fast service. good value
Waited over an hr for food server was no where to be found when we were waiting for condiments or drinks 20 mins for our bill..
Ordered delivery.... My dinner was a complete mess. Ordered chicken on a bun and poutine. Dinner came quickly enough 20 mins from time ordered online. My chicken sandwich had a burnt top bun and sandwich botyom was litterly falling apart, made it very difficult to eat and I've ordered this before and knew what to expect...this was not it. Tasted ok but was not enjoyable to eat. Moved on to poutine however was again disappointed. Cheese was on one side of container and fries on other. Fries were underdone and mushy. Put the cheese on top and added gravy.... Middle of heatwave here and somehow I get cold gravy. Wasn't warm enough to melt cheese and lumpy. Seems this location is hit or miss on how your dinner will turn out. This was definitely a miss.
Always take extra care of customers with food allergies. Thankful for a safe place to eat out
Great service and great food.
excellent service an food was delicious... !!
Fathers Day was slow & mediocre service. Food was hot and fresh. Management should have staffed more generously and this was evident in the service.
Always great food and service!
The worst experience in a restaurant ever. We waited for over an hour for our food and finally left without eating. They kept telling us it would be a bit longer. Did not give any indication of how much longer ever and offerd no refills for our drinks. Would give zero stars if I could.
Nice and clean with friendly staff
Always a great dependable meal at a decent price.
Oh my goodness! Kelly is a super waitress! She has such an exuberant personality and just engages with her customers in a special way making us feel served and welcomed to the max.
Pleasant atmosphere great servers
Good burgers
Dinner
Extremely disappointed. Ordered online and we were told to pick up in 30 minutes....we were there for pick up within 20 min. It was bagged and ready. As the very pleasant cashier past the bag of food I said I would like to check the order since we have not had the best of luck. She did not have a problem at all. The fries were stone cold and the brown chicken did not look the best but I was not about to take a bite of chicken in the car and should not have to. The order must have been sitting for quite a while because everything was cold. Could have been leftovers. The nice cashier was very pleasant and said she would look into the fries. Another young lady brought us what we thought were new fries and said they were straight out of the fryer and they are as good as it gets with quite an attitude. We had no other choice but to leave with great disappointment...... Swiss Chalet has always been one of our favorite restaurants for eat in but unfortunately we will not do take out anymore.
Tiffany helped us she was awesome love the food love the service.
Tanner was super helpful and food was great :)
Good as always.
Great food and service, Kelly was awesome ????
I just ordered 1/3rack ribs & wings. My ribs were tender but you couldn't tell there were any sauce on it and 2 out of my five wings had sauce. I also did not get a proper knife for my ribs. Waitress was nice and apologetic. Will not be going for a while.
Food has become predictable and boring, particular with chicken menus. Really good staff.
Ordered the 1/4 chicken dinner for takeout. Staff were friendly and the chicken was good.
Got home and was missing sides from 2 orders and got white meat added to Festive Poutine and was a lot of fat and dark meat. Been awhile since I ordered there, might be again
Great experience. Our server Steven was polite and helpful.
Shannon, thank you for serving us today! Shannon is a sunny, bubbly and competent server... also patient with our questions and technology problems. She makes her customers smile. Thanks again!
Food was ok but there was a group of people in the corner that no one could hear over and the workers did nothing about it after being told so my food was good service was bad and experience was worse
Always good food and service.
Drove past all the restaurants in Barrie knowing full well that the Swiss Chalet was open until 10pm. Got to our hotel in Orillia and placed my order at the restaurant listed as open until 10pm. A few minutes after placing my order I received a call saying the restaurant closed at 9pm and would not be making my order.
Picked up takeout last night and everything was extremely overcooked. Fries black, chicken unable to be cut due to the skin and layer of dried chicken, extremely upset. It truly must have sat under a heat lamp for hours. The quarter chickens you actually just couldn't even eat. I would be embarrassed as an employee of swiss chalet to serve what I recieved last night.
Great service and fresh hot food.
We were starving. I thought a roasted chicken in the middle of nowhere was a good idea: Swiss Chalet. I ordered a half chicken and insisted that it be well done. Good luck! Not only the chicken was bloody but they did not put in the "take out order" cutlery or napkins. Frankly, I was a bit disgusted and couldn't eat my order. Am I returning to this particular franchise? I don't think so. I should probably go vegan.
swiss chalets rostissorie chicken is to die for there food is soop good love ordering from them !
Service from Steven was very friendly and pleasant.
Good food and friendly staff..
We were in a rush and the place was packed. Staff did what they could to accomodate us. Good service and good food
Kelli our server was just great. She has served us before and couldnt ask for better service
Great food and Service
The chicken and shrimp were over cooked
Service is good. Best to pre order and pick up so you don’t have to wait.
We were greeted promptly and had a table cleaned quickly for us, even though it seemed very busy. The server was also very friendly and made sure that our food came out quickly as we were in a rush that day.
We were served by Shannon who was very quick and cheery! A great experience.
Service was awesome and food was too!
Fast and friendly service. Company should move away from using single use plastics. Nice to see paper straws.
Excellent place to eat supper
We went to pick up dinner on way back from shopping. Ordered on their web page. Said food would be ready by 7:01....did not get food for 40 minutes after that time! Food was OK, but there was no warning how long it would be or an apology for making us wait. It will be a while before I consider them again.
They had NO diet drinks, so only water was available for diabetic people and they weren't expecting any diet drinks until later the following day. May have been worth while to send someone to a grocery store to buy a few cases, that wld have made sense to me. There you have a drink option, other than water for people who can't have regular drinks seeing aa Swiss Chalet or has one diet option
Good place for Sunday dinner
Not enjoyed at all. Potatoes were hard. Rolls must of been old and cold. Did not complain to the waitress but when told her I didn't eat potatoes because they were hard all she offered was "really". First time there and last for sure.
I like Swiss Chalet but this experience was not good as the guy at the fryer couldnt say if they used the same oil to fry the shrimp as the fries or chicken fingers. The person i was with has a fish allergy so we had to leave.
Great food
Very helpful and friendly staff
A bit cold inside heaters we're broken!!
Usual fare, food was tasty but service was poor. Told take out orders were getting priority for filling over dining room. We waited over 45 minutes for our dinners to arrive and then they did not come all at once. 2 came and about 5 minutes later last 2 showed. Restaurant was not that busy when we arrived, maybe 6 other tables. Not impressed
Food Fair. Serviceok
Awesome server Kelly
This place has gone real downhill
Excellent service. Steven was amazing
Slow service and not apologetic that they leave you waiting.
Good value
I ordered takeout here and was extremely disappointed. I called the number and was routed through a lot of voice menus until I finally got a person to take my order. It was confusing since they clearly were not in store, and had to ask me where I was trying to order. Strange, but oh well. She told me it would be 15 minutes. 10 minutes later I went to the resteraunt to pick it up and pay. I left with my order and they were nice enough. I got to my car and opened it up to eat as my boyfriend headed down the highway to go home. The entire meal was luke warm at best, making it well below the standard other swiss chalets have set. The fries seemed like they had been sitting out for well over 15 minutes. I saw them take it from the heater so I'm not sure why it was so cold upon receiving it. I'm just really disappointed. I've been trying to make it here to get dinner all week because I hadn't had swiss chalet since moving here, and finally got it and it was cold. You dont drive into the city to pickup for cold food. Definitely a waste of my money and time!
was good food and great service
We were disappointed didn't taste like the old Swiss chalet. The chicken was dry, and no display of rotisary chicken, as used to be, chicken tasted warmed up.
Very poor quality and very poor service. Never sgain
Shannon is awesome!
My buddy and I went in for the 2 can dine for 29.95 and were pleasantly surprised about the quality and value of our meals. We had perogies with dip, spring rolls with dip, a 1/4 chicken with fries, coconut cream pie for dessert. The staff were efficient and friendly.
The delicious entrée salads with chicken breast are overpriced compared to the amount of salad served. Please add more veggies. Thanks!
Way better experience dining in than delivery. It seems every time we get it delivered they forget a piece of the meal. The food is what you’d expect and the staff is always friendly. It does get crowded in there and is quite loud. Usually a good special on year round. This location has lots of room to park. If you go when it’s busy expect to wait a bit but appetizers usually come out lightning quick.
You will most likely wait 20 minutes or more in the drive thru lol every single time. So plan for it
My severe Kelly was very helpful today.
I am so disappointed. Ordered the quarter chicken dinner and the leg is the size of a cornish hen's leg and the fries are all refried and hard!
Tanner was our server however was quite persistent when it came to ordering however sucked at checking in with us. Had to wait at least 15 min for a refill. Was told that she was busy however seen her checking on with others. The wait time to be seated was a little stupid especially for not being super busy. To get our drinks was a little more of a wait. No need for the wait seeing as they aren't packed. Their spinach dip is not what you expect. It was quite watery. And not enough seasoning.
Very friendly and fast service. Come here often.
It's unfortunate that this is the only Swiss chalet in this city. Their delivery is the worst. Always forget something... Everytime... Talked to head office... Have so many $5 refunds in the book over the years... I'm gonna stop tipping the driver's well if I'm just to assume I'm not getting the right orders.
Good portions
We always have great service when dining at Swiss Chalet. Servers are always pleasant.
Had dinner there several times Always good food Hot & Fresh The host named Nathan is very polite and gives the best service. Thank you Nathan
Food and service both are good.
Great food. Great service.
Rude Hostess, was told, while sitting and waiting in the lobby "for your information it's a 40 minute wait for chicken, and 30 minutes for a seat" I believe we came here for chicken? Not sure why they can't plan for increase in business on the long weekend?
The quality of the food is not as usual for Swiss Chalet
Anytime I've ordered from here and the Harvey's next door my order is always delivered at least an hour later than the estimated delivery time. Food is luke warm by the time it arrives and the fries are soggy. I'm sadly not satisfied with their ability to deliver on their promises.
I like it
Always great!!
My chicken wrap was very dry and customer service was lacking. Would not recommend, would not go back.
Always good Ribs and Chicken. Doesn't matter which one. They are all consistently excellent.
I wasn't there
Good and sfaff
Service is great. Meals are consistently good.
Enjoyable visit, food very good and wait staff excellent
This was Terrible! After a long day at work decided to grab a hot meal. Ran here to grab mashed potatoes and chicken on Keiser. The potatoes was the smallest serving I've ever seen and the sandwich was pathetically little bit of chicken. Fir almost $20.00.??? But hungry and too tired to take it back I tried to eat half the sandwich only to find it so dry and so I smothered it in mayo only to take second bite to get a bone in my mouth. Never will I go here again. Wish I had turned around and taken it back. Worse meal ever
We are very happy with Kelli's service tonight. Very friendly and professional!
Great service but the lemon soup wasn't great
Always friendly and fast service if you come to dine in or take away. Order online oh no forget that because you cannot. Order to have it delivered and well you must wait 90 minutes. I will never go through that again because I will find a better place to order quick delivery.
Surprised still in business
Good food, quick service,
Great inexpensive healthy food. Fresh never frozen chicken.
Great food but this place is always very very busy.
It was terrible...should of went to gravenhurst
Great food and service
Never easy to do business here. Always something. So many kids that don't change gloves when handling things other than food but poor leadership = Poor performance
Went to Swiss Chalet for the first time in a while today, food was good and service was even better. Our server Steven went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you for taking care of us. I will definitely be back.
Worst fast food experience ever! Local from North Bay, last three visit food has taken over 25 mins and make you wait out front with a number! Not only a long wait but incorrect orders and cold food. Owner needs to get off his/her wallet and hire more staff. As a regular for past 4 years I will unfortunately never be returning to this location. Cons: -extremely slow -wrong order -cold food Pros -If you like cold food
Always.good, never disappoints . Server Kelly was great !
Good food, service & price
One of my favorite restaurants. I really enjoy their quarter chicken dinner and their mashed potatoes.
Portions seem to be getting smaller and smaller
Fast and good service from Kelli.
Great food,excellent service.
Not bad but they changed the menu
I recently ordered the delivery special of the Cajun chicken Leg with fries and gravy. The Leg was so small I would say 5 OZ ? was no Cajun Sause visible in-fact there was barely any skin on it as well. Appeared well cooked so tried a piece of the lower leg portion (which had skin on it) which I could not taste any Cajun. Fries and gravy were very good as usual. I was late so did not call. This was my first time ordering delivery and have always been please when eating at your Orillia Restaurant. Decided to write this to you as during this Pandemic I would have ordered more delivery.
The fries were cold and the cheese cake was hot not cold not warm hot. First time trying Swiss chalet and now the last.
The service was great and the food was great also
Great Good, great value, great location
This restaurant only takes reservations for 6 or more sized parties.
It has happened twice now, we've ordered food for delivery and it doesn't show up, no apology, no longer will going to this location
Food good but the service was not up to there standard
My mom ordered 3 quarter chicken dinners for delivery as an early Christmas dinner.. Food arrived on time, but we were all very disappointed in our meals , parts of the meat was dry and the fries were horrible, cold & hard like they were old. Will not be ordering here again.
When my family and friends get together for lunch or supper we always have great service and very good food.i recommend to anyone that just needs a night out great place to go. :)
