    Nice dine in experience tonight at Swiss Chalet, as can be expected with this classic Canadian restaurant chain! We love the festive dinner! Lots of seating, staff were friendly and professional. Sometimes, a robot will bring you your food. I'm not sure if you're supposed to take it, or let a server plate it for you. They have a distinct entrance for takeout & delivery. Bathrooms were decent.

    On Nov. 21/25 it was my birthday and we decided to have Swiss Chalet take out we ordered the festive dinners with ribs. It was awful both the meals was cold, my husband was there in good time and we only live five minutes from the one on Bayfield St. Barrie. This particular Swiss Chalet is terrible I will never go back there again. The ribs were awful I can make better ribs at home.

    I placed an order online for pick up at the take out counter. When I arrived, I asked Jakki if she could change my side from fries to mashed potato, she agreed immediately. When I got home, I opened the bag to see that I didn't get fries or mashed potato. I called in, and we worked it out that I would go back with my food, and Swiss Chalet would provide me with a new hot fresh order and ensure that I got my mashed potatoes this time. Jakki also made sure to add the delicious little mini donuts I had inquired about when I arrived the first time. Kudos to Jakki for her excellent customer service! I am home, happy, full of good food, and enjoying my mini donuts! Thank you Jakki, you made my night with your awesomeness! (Give that girl a promotion/raise!)
