This is a comfort food establishment with a large menu and fresh baked pies. Opted for the roast beef dinner subbing out the mashed potatoes for a green salad. While the presentation was perhaps not perfect, the taste was great as well as the portion size. I enjoyed dipping the warmed roll into the gravy...so good. And the service was excellent. It was a very positive food experience and happy to recommend Kettles if in Owen Sound.

Perched up in the corner of a wrap around strip, this restaurant has big windows looking out over a corner of downtown Owen Sound. The speciality here is sandwiches, and the special that day was tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich, yumm, comfort food. I opted for a peameal, lettuce and tomato sandwich which came on thin sliced wonder bread. The bacon was on the thin side, a perfect amount for a sandwich, and had several layers of nice fresh tomato sliced thinly piled up about an inch high which gave me a nice juicy bite. The cook worked behind an open window and shouted out to me, 'Do you want mayo on that?', I said yes and went back to perusing the odd assortment of feel-good cute kitsch adorning the walls and nooks of the spacious dining room with a decidedly Christian bent to it. Then we noticed it was getting oddly quiet in the room and realized the Closed sign was on the door. It seems we were in there a bit late for lunch and they wanted a siesta possibly? Who knows, but my love affair with these working class diners continue...

The service was excellent with a manager visit that ended in a pleasant conversation as a cheery on the top of a delicious lunch!!! Add some ice cold beer and this is easily a return visit!!

I for one am real glad that they made it through and are now open once again for dine in Great rustic ambience and charm that truly complements the food and hospitality PS: I wish they decide to serve their corn bread in smaller portions

Not fall off the bone as they were the year before. Pulled pork - not good at all. Had a vinegar flavour and really disappointed. Brisket - incredible and to die for. Al least one dish was great. Fries and slaw were very good. Burnt ends - for $17 you got 5 pieces swimming in a sea of sauce. 1/2 were flavorful and 1/2 so rock hard and impossible to chew. Overall this is the worst experience we have had with this take out. We get takeout every year once or twice each time we are up in the blue mountain. May need to try a chain like Montana's next time as we were so disappointed this time.

I visited this establishment tonight for dinner with my boyfriend. I had received a gift card for…read moremy birthday that also came with a second gift card that included $175 worth of savings like a coupon card. It directed me on the coupon card to check out a website to see what "coupons" were offered from the participating restaurants. Before visiting Swiss Chalet tonight I had visited the website and noted that we could get a free appetizer with the purchase of two adult entrees if we used the card. The website directed me to show the server the coupon card before ordering. There is a stripe on the card for the server to swipe on their machines as well as an area on the back to scratch off to reveal the gift card code . At our visit tonight, I told the server about the gift card and the coupon card. She then went on to tell me that I should have received a printed coupon book with the gift card when it was purchased. I received nothing I told her since this was a gift. I said I didn't understand why I would need a printed coupon book when the coupon card had a stripe on it for swiping and nothing on the website mentions anything about paper coupons. I also went on to tell her it does not say that on the gift card or online. She went to ask her manager and returned to say the manager told her I was supposed to activate the gift card. I told her I didn't know what she was talking about (both cards would have been activated at time of purchase, right?!) and proceeded to show her on my phone what the website says including how I only needed to present the card at the time of ordering and showed her how it had a stripe to swipe on the back to process the order. She agreed to put in our order and use the card to see if she could process the appetizer for free. After we ordered, she took the card and processed the order wth the appetizer. She reported she was able to do so and when we got our bill at the end of the night, I saw it was taken off the bill. So, my point is, the wait staff AND the MANAGER need to be better trained on how to process the gift cards that come with these extra coupon cards. She and the manager had no idea how to process them and she only realized what to do after it was me the customer showed her how to process because I took the time to look at the website beforehand. We ordered a spinach dip appetizer which was very good and very filling. I ordered a chicken pot pie and had to bring most of it home. My boyfriend ordered a holiday chicken feast which came in a large position. I want to thank our server Darcy for her patience with us when we were working through the gift card and coupon card issue but again, the company needs to train the staff on how to process these. I shouldn't have to do that as a customer

We were directed to this food truck when we checked into our hotel in Tobermory…read more It was a great find! The fish was fresh, the breading was tasty and the homemade tartar sauce was awesome. The chips were amazing as well. If this was down the road from my home, I'm sure I'd be there every week. Just a note, it is not hard miss. If headed towards Tobermory, it will be on your right shortly before you get to any of the entrances to Bruce Peninsula National Park. If headed from town, you will pass both the Cypress Lake entrances and the one just south of there (don't remember the name). Look for the Lonewolf Drive Thru sign Fish is served from around 11:30 with the last order taken at 7:30.

It took 30 minutes for them to call our number. Granted, they were pretty busy... But 30 minutes for 2 orders of fries is a little crazy. My fries were good (although not 30 minutes good) but could have been a little warmer. The person I was with said their poutine was good. I don't eat meat so this review is based solely on the fries and service. I'd still recommend checking it out for yourself! OH and the address here on Yelp didn't take us to the chip wagon. We had to continue driving until we saw it on the left hand side (leaving tobermory) which was about 7km.
