    Quarter chicken with salad with chalet dressing and a Shirley temple
    Becky C.

    Consistent, tasty food and very good service. We got 2 festive specials (one was chicken and ribs) and another 1/4 chicken dinner. Everything came quickly and was delicious. I had a Shirley temple to drink. I miss when it would come with the cherry and orange slice :(. Still tasty! Our server, Andrew I think, was great!! Attentive and polite. Was working really hard. Almost everyone dining there is a senior so it made me feel young lol.

    Congealed gravy , dry chicken  Mash from flakes .

    Your food has gone downhill as has friendly staff . Now I need 85 more f'g characters . Shite service here

    Don’t let my picture fool you. Small, dry, out of the warmer Chicken.

    TL:DR - Last time to the Chalet - ever! It's 12PM. My siblings and their brood will be showing up soon and I wanted to grab a seating for 9-10 people. Nobody upfront and after a few moments, a young hostess asks how many in my party. I say 9. And...this is where the weirdness starts. "We can't serve you until 12:30pm," she then continues, "we only have 2 servers on and the rest of them start at 12:30pm." Can you hear that? That loud crash? It's my already low expectations of this restaurant brand falling through the earth's crust and towards the core. Swiss chalet has reached all new lows. The racist manager at the location near me was already alarming but...What...The...FUnny...is this? At this point, shouldn't they start whoever was there? Maybe the manager can pitch in as obviously, they weren't expecting any customers to want Lunch at LunchTime!!! After a brief phone call with the fam, I asked them to set up the table. I'm thinking they will have someone take our order and be efficient. Right? Am I living a lie here? D.a.m.n. At 12:30PM I hear the rustle of new footsteps and though we are ready to order, the new starters are running around playing catch up. Ugh...we will not be served first even though we were here waiting the longest. Efficiency is lost on this Store Manager. BTW - the whole time we are seated, a delivery driver is streaming his ethnic TV program quite loudly and disturbing my lunch. Please...oh...please...someone order a delivery before I lose my patience and find a new home for his phone - yes...something about sunshine...oh it gets better...but then the review is already too long. The food is standard fare for this brand. The food portion and size gets smaller and everything gets more expensive. I remember when a double-leg dinner was so large that the salad needed another plate. Ho-hum. The highlight that makes this place a 2-star is the service we received from the young man. He was efficient, accurate, and came to our attention often enough to keep my Mom happy. He remained friendly even with my less than rosy, cheerful, rainbows and unicorn attitude. :D Note - being first to a restaurant when they open does not guarantee that they cooked your meal fresh. It could from the warmer, as my chicken was tough, dry, and though a total candidate to be returned and re-ordered. I decided my best option will be to try and have an uneventful meal here and NOT patronage them in the future. Jeers!

    Come on that looks pretty good eh? Traditional 1/2 from childhood with some roast beef.

    A bit run down , this Swiss Chalet was a bit worn down, with shredded seats, drab interior which was made up for with a good helping of food and excellent service. A sodium lovefest of quarter chicken and roast beef was served with the traditional fixings of fries (a high caloric treat). Notably, the roast is a bit pedestrian and not a specialty, but overall may be worth a try. It may not be as fresh and the taste may be from frozen, but combined with the chicken wasn't too bad. Service adds the extra star: as it was my wife's birthday (yes a bit cheap for a bday dinner) the servers all came by and sang happy bday with a comped pie and ice cream. What an amazing surprise to cap off a good and relatively inexpensive meal. Highly recommend this location over the Hillcrest Mall in terms of service and quality!

So runnnnn! Another plus till late hours at night so apt for any midnight cravings The store is clean and has ample of seating space , not only it is brightly lit up but also has a clean washroom. Being from India, I have been exploring Vegetarian and Potato patty based burgers in GTA that would be similar to the ones I have had there. So when I saw a vegetable burger on their menu for 5$(with promotion excluding tax), definitely wanted to try it. It turned to be really crispy consisting a potato based grilled not fried patty in the center. Loaded with veggies and sauces which we could choose from similar to subway. Additionally the sizing was medium to large and everything tasted fresh. Special mention to the cheese quality and quantity which unlike some popular burger joints wasn't stale and well blended. choices available cheddar, mozzarella or normal not as an add on but included. Since its a new store, I understand that staff is bustling with orders and a wait times of upto 5-8 minutes can be expected. Anyhow the portions and flavours surely make up for it. Being on a busy road with various competitive food joints, @Grillies can be a great place for affordable comfort food both dine in and takeouts.

Takeout order was on time and accurate. The guy inside seemed pleasant enough though he was busy. Food: Brisket burger with tater tots. Two slices to brisket - seasoned well, maybe a little heavy on the salt if eaten alone but works in the burger as a whole. The burger was good - cooked medium. Sautéed onions, pickles, tomatoes, lettuce all worked well with the burger. Tater tots - crispy outside and soft potato-y inside. Hard to do this wrong. Price: 15$ for burger and tater tots. I'd say it's pricey for what you get but that's like most bbq places. Overall: 3.5/5 for the burger. I'd have to try their other true bbq items to really compare that to other bbq places in Toronto.

The pork sandwich was also good but once again $11 for a a squished pork sandwich. Don't forget there is no side dishes with the "meal". Combos will set you back $20 for lunch ???

At the end, the prize of the game was a free kid's meal only. We thought it might be some kid's toys. A little bit disappointed. My kid loved the food too. The kid's meal was including the main dish, milk or pop juices, and Applesauce. Adult menu was even more choices. The family member card can have a cup of free coffee or tea, and refillable. Now, IKEA has some items with special prices. We got this week's special Kitchen Faucet ($39), which was $129 before. It wasn't the best and ideal one, but price wise, it is a good price.

When Abby did not arrive within the scheduled timeframe, I contacted him directly and was given information that conflicted with the appointment details I had received. I then contacted IKEA, through whom the assembly service had been arranged. After navigating multiple automated prompts and speaking with customer service representatives, the assembly was rescheduled for the same day at 3:00 p.m. Unfortunately, 3:00 p.m. came and went without Abby arriving. At approximately 3:30 p.m., attempts to contact him were unsuccessful, as he did not answer his phone. Despite spending the better part of an entire day communicating with IKEA's chatbot, AI support systems, several customer service representatives, Taskrabbit, and the assigned assembler, the task that had been paid for was never completed. While the IKEA customer service representatives I spoke with were courteous and genuinely tried to assist, neither IKEA, Taskrabbit, nor the assigned Tasker were ultimately able to resolve the issue or fulfill the service commitment. To date, I have never received a follow-up explanation from Abby regarding the missed appointment. As a result of this experience, I cannot recommend either IKEA's assembly service or Taskrabbit unless customers are confident they can assemble the furniture themselves or have an alternative arrangement in place. When problems arise, there appears to be a lack of accountability and communication, leaving customers without answers and wasting valuable time.

Somehow we didn't get the hype memo, as our order was far from a grand one. I'm glad the business is doing well so I'm sharing an honest opinion of the fried chicken and shrimp sandwich. The staff was surprised to have business on a weekend afternoon, and just sat under the cash register. Within our order, the fried shrimp sandwich came loaded in a crunchy patty with beans & veggies inside toasted buns. I was anticipating a good bite; the only problem was that it was rock hard without much flavour. Since I don't like wasting food, I didn't toss it out. The spicy chicken was crispy and seasoned well similar to Taiwanese fried chicken. Its only drawback was that the spice seasoning was quite salty. Not as ultra crispy as Taiwanese night market chicken but it'll do. One benefit of this location is that dessert is only a stone's throw away. The nearby Wooffles & Cream stall is always busy. The rest of this quiet food court seemed to have fallen on harder times during the pandemic though a return to office may help boost lunch business. However, we'll be getting our fried chicken fix from elsewhere at a similar price point.
