Yesterday I visited Swiss chalet Main Street I received a consistently good service and flavorful rotisserie chicken. The staff is friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The chicken, seasoned and perfectly roasted, is a standout, often complemented by tasty sides like the signature Chalet sauce. It's a solid choice for anyone craving comfort food with reliable service.
Never order delivery from this restaurant - even if it’s through a third party or directly they ALWAYS mess something up or don’t show up or are super cheap with the portions. I’m done with this location forever. It’s been at least 5 times I’ve had issues and they don’t answer the phone . They must be understaffed or something but whoever is managing the takeout/delivery orders - it’s so bad. Below is a hot chicken sandwich ??? . In person it’s fine but they obviously hate takeout or delivery because wow.
I went for dinner tonight and our server Ashleigh was awesome! She was very attentive, and really nice. The food came out quickly and was delicious. We will definitely be back. Thank you Ashleigh!
I recently tried the Swiss Chelt Rotisserie Chicken, and it did not disappoint! The chicken was perfectly cooked—juicy and tender on the inside, with a crispy, flavorful skin that added just the right amount of crunch. The seasoning was spot on, giving the meat a savory and delicious taste without being overpowering. The fries were equally impressive, hot and crispy, with a satisfying golden-brown exterior. They complemented the chicken well, making for a great overall meal. I left feeling full and satisfied, and I’ll definitely be back for more. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for a flavorful and hearty meal!
I recently visited Harvey’s and had a great experience. The burgers were delicious, but what stood out the most was the excellent customer service. Manjinder, the girl at the counter, was very friendly and attentive, making the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!
The Caesar salad is great, you can’t beat the rotisserie chicken, and the fries were hot and fresh, and the Dipping sauce is always A1 And the place is quite clean. All great!!
Since we no longer have Swiss Chalet in BC, it is one of my first stops when I visit family in Nova Scotia. I had the half chicken and it was perfect. I tried the sweet chili Thai sauce but asked for it on the side. It tasted excellent and was spicy. The chicken was perfectly cooked and juices as it always is. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The washroom and restaurant were very clean.
Had a nice visit there ☺ Staff was amazing, very friendly and great service. Ordered A Quarter Leg Dinner and 1/2 Rack of Ribs and baked potatoe. Chicken dinner was great but unfortunately I wasn't impressed with the ribs because I had to chew off the meat from the bone although the signature BBQ sauce was fantastic. I mostly likely will stop in again!
The chicken was amazing. The french fries was served fresh and hot. The service is awesome. The experience was great!
Pretty nice food and environment.
Haven t been to Swiss chalet in months. We went yesterday and there was no 1/4 white meat dinner??? Wait! What! That s all I eat. I ended up with the ugliest chicken tenders. Tasted better than it looked. Husband soup was cold. He would have eaten cool but longest service ever. People complaining everywhere. Hope this was a one off day.
We were served by James this evening at Harvey s Dartmouth. Great customer service, incredibly helpful and personable. We really enjoyed talking with him while we ordered.
Swiss Chalet offers delicious, fresh fries and tender rotisserie chicken. The food is consistently tasty, with friendly service and generous portions. A great choice for a satisfying, casual meal.
Family went for supper and had festive specials. The chicken was dry, fries were overcooked and the green beans were cold and one serving actially had ice on them and were partially frozen.
Our server Ashley was amazing! So friendly and helpful :)
Wonderful experience
Very good food and also fresh food

Best rotisserie chicken I have ever had , fries were hot and fresh
Thanks Cavelle for a great experience!
I had a fantastic experience at Swiss Chalet! Simi provided excellent service, and the food was delicious. I tried the chicken soup and the chicken roll with honey sauce, and both were amazing. Highly recommend!
Ate at Harveys which is inside the swiss chalet. I love their burgers and I choose what condiments I want
amazing food
Staff is too good
Used to love this place so much but definitely gone downhill. They were out of chicken breast (?!) so I got the tenders which were very overcooked, dry and crunchy. Fries which are usually my favorite were super dry and overcooked too. Bun was not warm and once again dry. Took awhile for being an empty restaurant .;( The festive meal my MIL got definitely looks pretty abysmal for a premium dish. Too bad but I guess just another failing local chain. Can just buy chalet sauce powder now and a whole chicken from grocery store for 10 bucks.
Best Rotisserie chicken I have ever had
Hot & fresh!
I love this restaurant!! I love the chicken and ribs! Juicy and really taste amazing the staff makes the experience memorable and homey. Would definitely recommend this place
We arrived at 6:15, the food took 45 minutes to show up. It wasnt even busy. My sons pot pie was frozen in the middle, so we sent it back. My poutine was lukewarm. I am very disappointed by the lack of communication from the staff, and the amount of time it took to get our food, not to mention the poor quality.
We are regulars at Swiss Chalet, but this was the first visit to this particular establishment, and the last. Ordered coffee which was lukewarm when it arrived. This was replaced by the worst coffee I have ever tasted, burnt and awful flavour. Ordered the Thanksgiving special meal, but it was lukewarm. The box dressing was disgusting in taste and texture. The chicken was overcooked. I complained to the supervisor who to be fair refunded one of the two meals and took the coffee off the bill but by then the damage had been done.
Very good service very good food amazing atmosphere
Good food and service!
Good place to eat.
Great food , great service everything was great. Exceptional customer service by Simran. Food
Good
Good food thanku simran
We were so disappointed with both the service and the food today. My husband and I are long time Swiss Chalet fans- he used to work there before we got together and it s his comfort food so we typically go to a Swiss chalet once a month on average. We used to really like this location, but over the past 5 years it s has gone down hill- the only reason we were still going there was because they use a different wing sauce then most locations- it s the same mild sauce as Montanas, which I personally love. Anyways, after today we are done with this location. When we arrived there was only one server on, she wasn t rude, but certainly wasn t pleasant. No smile, no hey how are you, nothing. She half apologized for the wait but it was insincere at the least. Just to take our drink order was 15 minutes. We ordered food at the same time. It took 20 minutes to get our appy- we ordered the loaded perogies- they were kinda soggy, the cheese was under the perogies and not quite melted. No side plates and we asked for them the waitress said they were out . The restaurant was almost empty. Fine whatever. Typically they take about 10 minutes. We then waited another 20 minutes for our food, I ordered the wings meal with a Caesar salad, extra sauce. When it arrived the wings and the top half of the salad were both luke warm. There was no extra sauce. My husband ordered ribs and chicken, the ribs were not very good- not what they used to be at all. Waitress never came back to check on us until we were pretty much ready to go- thankfully another waitress who was just starting her shift did, and got the sauce I ordered. That waitress also brought the bill, and I will give that waitress props because she took over as we were leaving and handled the billing issues.
Ordered online which was pretty easy. My order was ready a little later than requested, but it was Thanksgiving day and they were very busy (which I understood). The staff were polite and kept me apprised of how much longer it would be.
Lovely service
Its a nice place to be at.
This was great super nostalgic with great food and great service

Service was awesome
Food was a disaster but I ate it bcoz I was hungry! And I dt understand how do waiters/ waitresses expect u to b ready to order in 2 mnts? They rush u in and rush u out?! And that s not only at swiss chalet, it s smtg I experienced only in Dartmouth!! Never again
Prikshat was very helpful. We ate at Harveys. The food was wonderful, and the restaurant was very clean.
Food was fresh and hot
Great food
After I dined and paid for my meal, the server asked politely to leave a google review if I enjoyed my experience. I said sure. Then she quickly and aggressively asked if I could do it right away. Being a polite person, I complied and followed her instructions and then.....she would not leave the table!!! Trying to bully me into leaving a 5 star review. Keep saying oh you dont have to fill the rest of it out, just post it, just post it, JUST POST IT!!!! It was the strangest and most surreal awful experience I have ever had!!!! Never ever going back.
Every meal I get there, which is usually quarter chicken is fresh, hot and amazing. Keep it up.
Excellent service and food
I ve been there a few times and food and service are always good.
Amazing Food and Great Service. Will definitely back soon!
Grossest Swiss Chalet in the HRM. Mice running around and the staff harass you for Google reviews. This place has gone way downhill.
I want to start off by saying that I have been to this location many times before, albeit for takeout. Therefore, as a habitual customer, I thought today would be a good day for my family and I to stop by and dine in. My wife and I took on the all you can eat rib deal, and the kids ordered from the kids meal section. At first, the staff was very attentive, that is, until I noticed a rat stop in the middle of the isle, and then scurry under one of the booths not far from where we were sitting. I brought this to the attention of a male staff member who seemed to be like a supervisor, and he said oh yes we know, were looking for it.....he probably ran in from an open door. As I observed the non interested demeanor, I simply returned to my table and told my family to get ready to leave. It was after that conversation with the male staff that the previously over enthusiastic female staff members completely stopped coming to my table. I ended up having to request my bill from a staff member cleaning the floors. After what seemed like an unexpectedly long time, my server came to give me my bill. I was given my DND discount, which I then returned in the form of a 15% tip. This experience has completely turned me off ever returning to this particular restaurant and ordering anything from Swiss Chalet for the foreseeable future. I take reviews very seriously, and I hope those who follow my reviews head my warnings.
Fantastic service and friendly staff Dietary restrictions: Gluten free Food : 5/5 |
They don t care about the delivery orders and only prefer the restaurant orders. I was waiting there for about 45 minutes and people were coming in ordering and getting their order in 5 minutes.
Great service and excellent food.
Our server Cherry was extremely pleasant and helpful Parking: Parking was available right outside restaurant Wheelchair accessibility: It seemed to us that it s definitely wheelchair accessible
Food was delicious, huge portions for the price. Fast service. Krystle was very nice!
Had two can dine for 20.99 with my dad.The white meat chicken breasts were huge and delicious as always.
Good tasty
Best place for snacks
simran server waitress very polite
Simran is very nice !
Excellent seevice
Great food and great location
We hadnt been to a Swiss Chalet since pre-Covid! Last night we decided to give it a try. We ordered a Club Wrap w/fries, a Quesadilla w/baked potatoe & Chicken tenders w/ceasar salad. The restaurant was clean, the food was served hot & the staff went above & beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed. Portions were large. Staff was very courteous. It was a great experience & we will go back again!
Great experience
Excellent meal, excellent staff, and excellent service. Manjinder and Arsh are charming and competent. Kind and professional, Manager Zonia makes you feel like family all the time. Vegetarian options: Many Parking: Many spots Kid-friendliness: Positive
Food was good, however service to be seated, served and the bill took a long time and multiple servers. The tvs were on one local cable channel, air conditioner wasnt on and 32 degrees outside. Refills had to be asked for, and servers kept walking by. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair parking too far from building
Everything was wonderful, great food, good service and really fair prices. Definitely a big change since last year we will definitely be going back again soon.
Excellent service and good. Feel welcome, not rushed.
The garlic loaf was amazing the environment is very aesthetic
This is one of the cleanest swiss chalet in Dartmouth. The server Cherry is very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended!

Ive been coming to swiss chalet for 20 plus years. Was my favorite restaurant to go to. Lately its gone down hill, food is cold, fries taste like theyve been heated a few times. The chicken is dried out. Staff is still great, but they dont seem happy. Customers do feel the stress. Be along time before I come back if ever.
very good service and friendly staff
Amazing food and people what a positive vibe of the place.. i loved it

Swiss in the crossing is the best.
Worst customer experience I have had in a long time. Messed up my drive thru order and then I had to talk to 6 different people to try and get it corrected. When I talked to the manager he hung up the phone as I was explaining the problem to him.
Friendly environment, good food,exceklent customer service
Food was perfectly cooked and service was excellent. Sam was very helpful to us
Service was exceptional even on a busy day. Our server Denise was fabulous.
Food was great- server were kind. We really enjoyed ourselves the only suggestion is that there was a delay between appetizers and main however the server were frequently checking in us and gave us updates. Would def. Come again.
