Be warned, however, the items are expensive for what you get, and shipping is another 30% of the total for EACH item, and that can double if you expedite. Also, the pictures make the items look much bigger than they are. You can make very small payments (about 5% of the total you owe), but at 26% interest you can end up paying double or triple the cost for using credit over several months. Today 12/10/2025 I got what I paid for; all the items were in perfect condition, and shipping time was reasonable (one week) considering it's December. I would not recommend that you ship from ANY gift website with food in the summer, or where the temperatures are routinely above 75° F, as these are extremely perishable items.

Having passed Swiss Alps many times as we passed through Monroe, we had never stopped... until last…read moreweekend. We were both hungry and thought why not, lets give it a try. We're so glad we did! They are only open for breakfast and lunch. We walked into this restaurant that has a very small town feel with a Swiss theme. The walls were painted in a Swiss style that my girlfriend said reminded of her time spent in southern Germany. The booths and counter remind me of something from the 60s. The booths could use some maintenance and repairs. The booth we sat at the upholstery was cracked. You could see the foam padding. We arrived and it did not take long to be greeted and seated. The service here was fantastic. The staff was on top of everything. They were friendly, attentive, but not intrusive. Honestly it was some of the perfect service we have ever had. As for the food... Well... You have to love a small-town family restaurant. I had the Country Fried steak and Eggs. It was some of the best Country Fried Steak and Eggs I've had in a long time, and definitely the best I've had in the region. When it was brought to the table, I didn't have high expectations as the Gravy looked like it was going to be a plain white gravy with little to no flavor. First impressions can be very wrong. It had a great flavor and was delicious. The steak was cooked to perfection. The breading was a crispy, flavorful delight. I had zero complaints. It came with hashbrowns. Normally when I order hashbrowns I ask for them to be fried extra crispy because I feel it adds to the flavor. I forgot to do this, but I didn't need to. They weren't as cooked as I prefer, but they had a great flavor that, when mixed with either the eggs or gravy, were absolutely delightful. My girlfriend ordered the eggs and hashbrowns and was impressed by the hashbrowns before I even had a chance to taste them. They were great. With that being said, remember this is a small-town family restaurant. The food is what you're going to get at these locations. This is not a Michelin star restaurant; let alone one located in a large city. It's small-town awesomeness. It's a slice of Americana. It's pure nostalgia. You get a good meal, at a decent price. You're not going to get fancy décor and complicated menus. If you want a fine breakfast, you won't be disappointed with Swiss Alps.

Usually I go through the drive through, and I order my chocolate soft serve blizzard with cookie dough. It's prepared the same way every time and never disappoints. There is always a great cookie dough to ice cream ratio. It's to die for. I also ALWAYS get their chicken tender basket. It comes with AMAZING chicken tenties, perfect fries, and buttered Texas toast. Mmmm. I always get two ranches, and let me tell you, it's the best damn ranch I've ever had. I don't know what they do, but it's the best in house ranch I've ever had. And I never have any ranch left after the entire basket. Sometimes I even get three ranches, and it's still not enough! Service is always good, and when inside it's always clean. Great place.

Crispy lettuce, fresh firm tomatoes, lots of bacon, and chicken strips. The dressing came in a decent size packet not a little dab in a little cup. Croutons came in a little packet fresh not over spiced. The best part was it came in a square bowl. That makes all the difference. Drive thru wasn't littered and the window was clean. Excellent choice for a salad quickly.
