Fantastic Experience at Swiss Chalet in New Glasgow! We had a wonderful visit to the Swiss Chalet in New Glasgow. From the moment we walked in, our server (Christina) greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel right at home. The service was incredibly quick, and our meals arrived faster than expected. The chicken was exceptionally juicy and flavorful—a real highlight of the meal! We visited during the Festive Special season, which always adds an extra touch of cheer to the dining experience, and the holiday decorations were lovely and added to the warm, cozy atmosphere. Overall, everything was perfect. We left with full stomachs and big smiles. Highly recommend stopping by Swiss Chalet in New Glasgow if you’re in the area!
Coffee is cold ? Why would you not put your customers seating at the window doesn’t make sense but you put your customers at the back of the restaurant ????? So when I pull up it looks like you’re close
Been here over a half hour. While people who got here after me were already served?? They ordered the same thing?? Honestly, don't give this place your money. Just go somewhere they're not incapable of doing their job
Food came out so quick and was just as expected.
I just moved to new Glasgow and was next door at dollar store and thought I would try Swiss chalet. I love the convenience of having it close to where I live now as before I drive 1/2 hour. (And did) today I was pleased to find the garlic loaf back on menu. Sandra my server was great and service quick. As you can tell by my photo I started in on it before I took photo. It comes with tomatoes and green onions but I don’t like it so I got without.
Rolled in to town late at night in August 2023 and decided to get swiss chalet for take out. We were there pretty close to closing so our expectations were low. Ordered a few apps and quarter chicken as well as salads and dessert. Everything was made quickly and quality was very good. Service was great, fast and friendly. Great job, definitely recommend this location!!
I can’t express enough how good the service was, I believe our waiters name was Randell. He was awesome. The food was also really good
Very average, nothing oustanding about this restaurant, the food is good, the service is ok, parking is adequate, the bathrooms are clean. The ambiance is blah. Dec 2024 update. I thought I should review my review :-), we ate in that restaurant again last week, Julie, our waitress, was very prompt and pleasant, our meal was hot and delicious, it was a good experience this time. I would say things have improved at that restaurant this year. Oh, and there was some good music playing, not too loud, just right.
Bread was stale and hard on my take out order other than that 1/4 chicken dinner was lit
Another fantastic meal
Julie is the best waiter! We just love her!
Delicious food and wonderful service
Was here to enjoy the festive special and it did not disappoint! Great good, nice atmosphere and amazing service! Will definitely be back!
The food was awesome!! And the severs were really nice! Food
As a regular the wait staff simply asks if it the regular? and its almost as if they we were coming. Staff is exceptional in demeanor and service. Parking: Depending on time parking is at a premium because of popularity of business. After 6 is best. Wheelchair accessibility: Curb level with lot and pushbutton door opener.
The ribs were dry. And I mean dry. The chicken breast was dry. I didnt realize that you now have to specifically ask for dipping sauce which was brought promptly. The hostess didnt know what was on special that day. Its a far cry from the Swiss Chalet of the 1960s and 1970s.
Excellent atmosphere .excellent menu choices. friendly ,food was delicious!
Floor manageress Ashley recommended the wings. They were an excellent choice. Warm smile, quick service, good food. Ashley was wonderful. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access, appreciated.
Travelling USA & Canada for 3-1/2 months from Australia and I will have to say this is one of our best restaurants we have been to actually going back a second time tonight Fantastic value for money that we have seen in our visit over here Recommend it to anyone Parking: Good
Excellent service from Sandra Parking: Lots of parking Food : 5/5 |
Kylie was our server and she was great! Very accommodating, and excellent food!
It was delicious! I should ve taken it before photo But I forgot!
Exceptional service from service
Julie was a wonderful waitress, friendly, courteous, prompt.
Jennifer served us, a large party of 18 for a retirement party. She was prompt, attentive and didn t miss a thing. Suggested what menu items were most popular and desserts as well. We really enjoyed our evening with Jennifer!
Excellent service and food !!! Thanks Jennifer .. we had an amazing time !
Waited 25 minutes after being seated for server to come over. Waited another 5 minutes for water. 3 tables who arrived after my husband and i ordered after us and were served before us. Waited another 30 minutes for our food to arrive and everything was cold. Server said they were short staffed. Server was more interested on playing with the child that was in booth behind us than looking after other customers. Very dissapointed
Efficient definitely did that. Thanks again for a great experience at the Swiss!
Had a great experience at Swiss chalet today. Christina was so friendly and personable. Food came super quick and was delicious ious as always!
The place is the best. And I like it thanks for the yummy food favorite place in the hold world. Grace 10 years old Parking: Lots of space Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair accessable
Friendly staff.
Ordered wings and Ceasar salad dinner and mini donuts .I had to take it back the wings were dry and the salad was brown ,wasnt done up fresh! The donuts were very hard and dark color .Took it back and I couldnt get a refund ! So I had no choice to order something else which was terrible ,dry ribs and fries ! I have always enjoyed going to the restaurant to eat in, it was always delicious.But take -out ,terrible ! I would have taken a refund instead.Why no refund on the food ? Very disappointed today ,needless to say .
Food is always great and service from Ashley was amazing. She is a keeper for sure! She was very busy but always smiling and happy to help.
the server that you met when you walk in was super friendly and sweet with quick service patient and was fine with any changes about the meal
Att need with a large group; they had a nice banquet area set aside for us. The food was good but the highlight was our server Kristina. She made good recommendations for food and drinks. She also has a good sense of humour and was really efficient, made the experience great, thanks Kristina!
Good meals as always!
The server was really nice
Food is good and service is great. We have always had great service. Servers are really nice. The quarter chicken dark meat is small. The sandwich plates are a a great deal bigger and better. Garlic cheese bread is a favourite. Food
Fries and bun were dry and cardboardy.chicken was too greasy and chewy Small portions (thank god) Parking: Shared parking
We went out to celebrate our anniversary and choose Swiss chalet. We had some issues with the service but when the manager was told he completely looked after us getting our meal to us and looking after the bill.When we got our meal it was delicious.
Very dirty dishes
Super fast service. Great server!
Randall was a amazing server
Julie is an amazing server. She really made us feel like we were at her house for a home cooked meal. The 5 wings and half back of ribs with all the extra fixings was exactly what I wanted it to be!
My chicken was over cooked, probably not the freshest and my fries were overcooked
Best damn Caesar salad anywhere
Great service and food
Went to this location in new Glasgow for a family celebration tonight. Our waitress Jennifier was AMAZING! She was attentive and very pleasant, we loved her and SHE made our celebration extra special. The food was as also very good and fresh and hot! Thank you Jennifer and New Glasgow Swiss Chalet, I would say the best one in the province by far! Parking: Excellent
Our waitress, Jennifer was phenomenal. We had a large group of people and she handled all of us very kindly and efficiently, all with a smile on her face! She was very intentional in making sure we all had what we needed
I had the fish and chips. Wasn t too bad. Looks like the fish was fried twice.
The beet chicken salad is my new go to Wheelchair accessibility: Parking level right into restaurant Food : 5/5 |
Food was awesome Parking: It was ok Wheelchair accessibility: Yes
Had a group event tonight and was really happy with the event. The food was delicious, and good portions (chicken is super tasty). Our server Jennifer was excellent, polite and attentive, and a good sense of humour; truly appreciated her! Thank you for hosting us
Amazing speed and attention to detail!!!!!!!
Excellent food, great staff. My favourite place to eat
Food was good, but service was even better. Julie was incredibly gracious, kind, and attentive, the best service Ive had in a restaurant in a long time. She did a fantastic job and made us feel so welcome, thank you Julie!
Our waiter was awesome.
Me and my partner go through the drive through every now and then and are always treated with amazing service. Literally everytime, the order takers are so patient and attentive and make sure you leave not only with everything you asked for but also napkins, condiments and utensils! We seriously appreciate the extra mile the staff goes to make us feel very welcome :)
Always a great place to eat, with awesome staff Parking: Lots of parking. Food : 5/5 |
We have been there two other times with my friends therapy dog with his vest on but today was a no you cant come .First and last..
Great place to relax and eat excellent food. I am from NZ, and thoroughly enjoyed my time, with such a great service.
Some of the friendliest staff Ive ever met, very warm atmosphere, restaurant was clean . food was ordered quick and was served just as fast . Definitely recommend
Ive eaten here many times over the years, this particular Swiss Chalet location has the best people and service hands down. It really makes for a nice dining experience.
Wasnt a fan as a child if SC but old enough now to make them my go to BBQ chicken when on my travels around the Maritimes.
Kristina was AWESOME!!!! Friendly, efficient, she was great!
Ive reheated food better than this. Staff didnt give us cutlery. Made us move so she could get by instead of going around the table. Save your cash
Had one of your best servers ever tonight. Hunter was so kind and attentive. Let us know when our food would be out, asked if everything was ok. Just genuine nice guy. Im 60 and my sister in law 65. You are lucky to have him on your staff
Only bad thing is that ur was really warm but since it s a kitchen it is to be expected
Jen is a sweetheart and clearly excellent at her job. She waits on tables likes it s effortless and is always cheerful and pleasant to deal with.
Parking: There is a number of places that are close to the place and it s really nice Food
Great staff, clean, and a good meal
Food was good but the service was quite slow.
The place is always amazing !
We ordered harvest salads with chicken. Apparently they dont make those anymore and offered a substitution that the cook invented instead. That invented substitute was just greens with chunks of chicken on top. Grocery store deli salads that were made 10 hours ago are better. Stay away if you want or need something other than ribs.
Yummy.
Great lunch
Great as always.
Worst meal I ve ever ate. Chicken was completely raw, told the server and she said that is just how the chicken is. Both me and my boyfriend were so grossed out we barely touched our food. We said something again to the server and said she wouldn t of ate it either and got another piece that we also didn t eat because we were so grossed out. Nothing was taken off our bill. Paid $65 for food that wasn t edible. The server was nice and efficient.
Excellent service and a fantastic meal indeed
I ordered a chicken pot pie with a baked potatoes with sour cream and chives and butter. Picked up curbside. Since when is a chicken pot pie dry? Next to no creamy sauce. Also didnt get the chives portion of the sour cream and chives. Disappointed
Solid food for the price
Good food
Good food but not excellent, sizes for price could use an overhaul.
Meh
Great food
Chicken was hot and fries were plenty! Service tonight was slightly off with a delay for ordering and no offering for drink refills. Enjoyable dinner for the whole party.
Always delicious and very friendly staff
The quality and taste has definitely changed over the last year. Rotisserie Chicken no longer has the nice color and flavor it once had. The chicken wings have also changed, and not in a good way. Very disappointed in our last 4 takeout orders. Change is not always a good thing, unfortunately.
Was not impressed with New Glasgows Swiss Chalet. Ordered two chicken wraps with fries they were so small I could have bought them at the corner store for $5 instead I had to pay $50 and got a handful of fries and then they charged me $3 for water that they said was included was not impressed
This is the best Swiss Chalet I ve been to and I ve been to many in my day. The service was excellent and the food was definitely up to snuff. Big points for cleanliness!! Although it was very busy we didn t get the feeling that the place was about to reach critical mass. The team handled themselves very well. Thank you all for a lovely dinner.
Food was OK, as was service. Prices a bit high.
We were up for a golf trip. We went for supper at Swiss Chalet and were lucky enough to get Skylar for our server. The meal was great but the service and the service was absolutely stellar!!!! Thank you Skylar for a great evening ...
I stopped in at about 8:40pm. Great personable genuine staff. They helped me find a table with an outlet to charge my phone. Although they would be closing in 20 minutes, you wouldnt know it. The service was great and the food was hot and fresh.
Too much red in the chicken. Dan said it as cooked but a big turnoff for me
Not as good as they used to be.not cheap
My husband and I ate our dinner today and were served by Sandra. Excellent service and the food was delicious. I ordered the market vegetables instead of fries. They use fresh, not frozen vegetables and I enjoyed them. Another great visit to the New Glasgow Swiss Chalet
Always delicious
Nice place
The wait staff is fantastic and service is generally pretty quick
Ribs, ceasar salad, and coleslaw were perfect! Excellent service too!
Food wasnt hot!
Good service, the chicken is very good. But the meals are plain.a
Great food at a reasonable price
NJ
Great food and staff are amazing they are very on the ball. Well worth the price.
Delicious rotisserie chicken as always. The first taste homemade and are so good dipped in gravy. Dont forget to ask for chicken dipping sauce! And for being so commercial grade the buns are surprisingly good, with a tough, chewy texture thats actually so satisfying, especially when theyre still warm and with a little butter.
Our first time eating at this Swiss Chalet. It was a very pleasant experience, the meal was great and our waitress was excellent.
Good food
Yes you can usually count on a good chicken and fries here, I do like that they provide lemon water to wash your hands afterwards, keep up.
Food was very good congratulations to chef great atmosphere very friendly staff very clean would recommend
It was pretty good. The waiter was very friendly and the food was good. We had a good time.
Was very good, and really friendly server.
Chicken portion seems smaller but service was excellent, food was great, turn around time was unbelievably fast....
Excellent
Good location, staff were friendly. Found a picnic table out back and the meal was good. Didnt enjoy the food as much as I hoped, chicken was a bit dry (double leg combo) and the crispy chicken sandwich was just okay.
Always a good meal at Swiss Chalet. Have eaten there for years, and have yet to experience a bad meal
Ordered online, was ready for pickup within 15 minutes.
Very disappointed with the quality of the food with them messing up my order and severely disappointed in the price paying over $50 for two meals a sandwich and a half chicken that is completely ridiculous and asking that much and not even being able to make an order right if I could give it negative five stars I would..
Our hostess, Ashley was amazing and kind. We had a big group celebrating a bday and she was great.
Got the Thanksgiving Special. The chicken, stuffing and pie were great. A little disappointed in the portions. In the photo of the special there were potatos as well. We did not get potatos and purchased four of these meals. Spent a lot of money for an incomplete meal. However the service was quick and the food we did get was very good.
Great staff good menu
Good service good flavor! Chicken portion a bit on small side! Satisfied!)
Good food great service
The food was very good and the service was friendly!
Good size portions, good food.
Great lunch experience! From checking in to exit it was a fantastic experience with excellent customer service. Hot delicious meal was served quickly.
Forgot tea bag for tea, put mayo on veggie burger after specifically asking that they dont. Made me another and didnt bring back any silverware for rest of dinner. Others were all done before even began.
In new Glasgow the only one I love best waitress ever and manager
Our Server James was friendly and attentive. The best service weve had in a while. The food was very good and our family enjoyed our evening.
Good service and food
Food was cold and everything was covered in parm glaze
Fairly good service
The service is fast.
Consistently delicious, portions consistent size, service is very good
Very, Very tasty!
Reliable predictable and no surprises .Consistently good.
Great ribs and chicken
Very good, hot taste food, good service.
Great food, great prices and fantastic service!
Pretty good
The place was packed and all was excellent!
Ordered for delivery. The driver was lovely. But the food was disappointing. My poutine had no gravey on it with a few pieces of shredded cheese dried to the fries . The website clearly shows cheese curds. Would not of ordered it if I knew it was fake poutine. Our Kale ceaser salad was just regular ceaser which would of been fine but communicate with your customers if something needs to be altered.
Service was great and the food was great. They also have a really great setup in the restaurant for Corona.
Awesome food and service
Loved it
Swiss Chalet New Glasgow is a favourite for our family gatherings. Always friendly service, comfortable, clean and delicious food.
The service was great. The waitress was very friendly and personable. I was a little put out that they are running only a basic menu...ribs and chicken mostly, but thats likely due to covid. The restaurant was clean except for the bathroom. All the food was fantastic except my gravy was burnt. Overall it wasnt too bad at all. Waitress had a positive attitude.
Excellent,and good company.
Great servers
Good food and goog service
Excellent!
We had James as our Waiter both times and he is a riot! Love it here
Food was horrible. Could not eat. Left hungry.
Service was great, food as expected at SC
Not what it used to be - but then I am old already - however, even my dog did not like the chicken. They did give me a refund - that was the best thing about my experience. I did not even ask for one.
Not a fan of the chicken.
