7750 Markham Rd. The manager's name is Anna.
Very bad service; she shouldn't be at the front line. Very rude and bad service.
I wonder why there are so many people in the restaurant. Because of her, I'm sure you lost a lot of customers.
- Bad service
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Change front line staff

Verified ReviewerComplaint
- - They refused delivery and asked for pickup.
- - A $130 order was declined as outside the delivery zone.
- - The nearest Swiss Chalet is 2 km away.
They refuse to deliver an order and expect customers to come to them and pick it up. We tried to order $130 worth of food, but they are not interested in our custom.
The reason given is that we are outside their delivery zone—yet the nearest Swiss Chalet is two kilometers away. An article online stated that this was due to red-zoning certain neighborhoods and refusing service to those areas.
There are no reports of a delivery driver being assaulted or harassed; it seems like discrimination. They will not get my business again.
- Good food and usually good service
- Will not deliver an order
User's recommendation: If you live in the wrong neighborhood, order Mrs Brown or KFC.

Verified Reviewer |Resolved: Almost Raw White French Fries!
- - Takeout orders with Fresh Fries directions are not followed.
- - Fries were burnt previously and today pale and undercooked.
Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with product replacement. 1/4 chicken dinner free. Take photos, and write an email.
We order take away, and I write on special directions, Fresh Fries. That never happens.
A month or so ago the french fries were burnt and barely recognizable.
Today, the fries were white as ghosts, barely cooked. Horrible!!!
Does the take out customer get the crap fries because cooks/servers don't have to face us with the 3rd degree burnt fries or the ghostly ones.
- Sauce
- Take out subpar
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Maybe open your take away and have a look at the fries. Ask for fresh fries if they look unappealing.

Verified ReviewerWay to save money
- - I dislike dill pickles.
- - It rests against the bun, making it soggy and dill-tasting.
- - A no dill pickle option on online/Doordash menus could save money.
It's annoying that they don't respond but it is a minor issue. If it was a larger one and no response, I'd stop shopping Swiss Chalet. Will let you know if I get a response
I dislike *** pickles. I particularly dislike it when it lies against the bun of my rotisserie chicken sandwich, making the bun soggy and, well, tasting like ***.
Swiss Chalet could save a lot of money if they just included a 'no *** pickle' option in their online/Doordash menus. Food for thought.
- Great food
- No choice on dill pickle
Preferred solution: A no dill pickle option on online menus like Uber Eats or DoorDash menus
User's recommendation: Call after you order and say bodily pickle

Verified Reviewer |Emails shuffling it off to the right department
- - Emails said my comments were under review and sent to someone who can handle it, and I was asked to review the concern before hearing back.
Lots of emails saying my comments were being looked at and then one last week saying they were sending it to someone who could handle it.
I received an email asking for a review of the concern before I heard back about my situation.
Looking forward to a resolution.

Verified Reviewer |Disappointed
- - Scratch coupons from the festive meal said we won free chicken soup.
- - Redemption requires both of us to buy an entree over $15.
I am complaining about your scratch coupons you receive with the festive meal. I scratched two and it said I won a chicken soup on both of mine.
When my husband and I tried to redeem them for lunch, we were going to have the soup and maybe split a sandwich.
We couldn't redeem them unless we both bought an entree over $15.00. Why should we have to buy anything when it said we won free soup if all we wanted was soup?
- Like the specials
- Paying for something that is suppose to be free
Preferred solution: I think we should of gotten the soup without having to pay for two entrees over $15.00$30.00

Verified Reviewer |Complaint on fries
My husband and I don't like peelings on our fries. Why?
I wish we had a choice or could peel the potatoes; they taste like cardboard. Please, I love your chicken but not the fries.
- Choice o other food
Preferred solution: Fries no peeling in futuy
Upsetting dining experience
- - Nearby party of 11 was served before our pie.
- - Waited 26 minutes for the pie; server slammed a vessel after promising it would be free.
After completing our meal...having had adequate service, we ordered an apple pie and asked for our bill. Just then a pary of 11 was seated right beside us.
(5 children 6 adults) Our waitress took their drink orders, came back and served them...left and returned with some water and left again. .. this is when we thought she'd come back with our pie order. Instead she came back and proceeded to take their order for 11 people.
Then leaves before we can get her attention. When she finally returns with 2 other servers they deliver the meals for the 11 people. As she leaves to get more of their food she tells us, "I'm getting your pie". Comes back and brings the rest of their order.
Five minutes go by and still no sign of her. My husband goes to the kitchen area and asks her for the pie and she says, "I'll bring it to you". He replied, "no I will wait here for it and take it myself". At this she finally goes into the kitchen to get the pie.
She delivers it to our table and says there won't be any charge for the pie. To which I reply, "I should hope not." She said, "What!!!" and slams a metal vessel she had in her hand on our table. No apology, (eg. very busy, I forgot,) anything.
Just aggressive behavior.
(You can imagine our frustration after waiting 26 minutes for a slice of pie.)We have been dining at this location for over 20 years as a matter of fact last April we celebrated my husband's birthday there with a party 11 people ourselves. We get it she was probably overwhelmed by this large group but there is no excuse for aggressive behavior.
Just a general comment. How is this company still in business ??? Perhaps 30 years ago they were good, when they stuck to their core business strengths and product offerings. But now = CRAP .
The food has declined in quality SO BAD, the last time I dined there was the LAST TIME I WILL EVER DINE THERE..
User's recommendation: NEVER EAT AT CRAP CHALET
Because I was turned away not happy
- - On Dec 14 I waited 10–15 minutes with no server.
- - The manager said they were busy with big parties.
- - I was told to come back; no follow-up after two days.
I went to the restaurant, your restaurant, on December 14th. I was there for about 10, maybe 15 minutes, and during that time, nobody approached me.
I approached four different servers. Finally, the last one called the manager over. She asked, 'How can I help you?' I told her, 'Well, I've only been standing here for the last 10 minutes or so,' and she said, 'Well, ma'am, we're extremely busy.' I said, 'I totally get that, but I'm not involved with the party that's ahead of me.' She said, 'Well, we’ve got two big parties coming in, and we're quite busy.' I said, 'Well, you've got room down at the back, the booth.' She said, 'Well, unfortunately, today we can't accommodate you.' I said, 'What? You can't accommodate me?
I'm only one person.' She said, 'You'll need to come back another day.' Well, I was so upset when I went to my car. I've only been going to the Swiss Chalet since I was 12, and I'm 63 now. I wrote in a report, and somebody said that they would get back to me within two business days. So that would have been Tuesday, December 16th.
Nobody's reached out. Nobody. Nothing. Nada.
So is it that people have to go and complain to the media and let the media know how you treat your customers?
On top of that, I go there quite often, once a week or twice a week or whatever, and still no answer from you. Totally unprofessional and not acceptable.
- While i really thought that this restaurant was number one until i got treated the way i did unacceptable
Preferred solution: Apology
User's recommendation: My recommendation would be not to you have anything to do with this restaurant ever again. It's disgusting how I got turned away and I've told my friends, my friends have said we've never heard of that before and I said, well, you have now I said I was totally shocked.

Verified Reviewer |Used the lowest rate possible. Planned to ordering the festive family meal at $49.99. Due to NO service we left after waiting 15-20 mins. Will not return. Provide staff to take orders.

Very bad customer service
- - Third visit to Swiss Chalet in Markham, at Markville Mall.
- - No dark meat or alternatives.
- - The manager was rude and did not answer questions.
This is the third time I am visiting the Swiss Chalet location in Markham. The location is at Markham Road on Highway Seven at the Markville Mall parking.
Every time I visit the location, they do not have dark meat, and they do not even offer me any other solution. Speaking with the manager, he was very rude and did not even answer any of the questions I was asking him on November 4, 2025. I visited that location to have dinner with my family for my son's birthday, and the experience again was unbelievable customer service. We had to leave the location because it was a very, very bad experience.
I hope someone calls me back and apologizes or compensates for my experience. No wonder Swiss Chalet is having problems; this is the type of manager they hire to serve customers and deal with problems—very unprofessional, with no experience at all.
User's recommendation: My recommendation is to higher professional people, and get rid of the dead beats who makes and give your organization a bad name

Verified Reviewer |Table sevice was fine. The restroom was not.
They could check the services they provide and be sure that everything is in proper working order.
People notice the small things, not just the food or the table service . I certainly do.

Verified ReviewerFOOD AND WASHROOMS
- - Washrooms were unsanitary with no toilet paper and urine buildup.
- - The chicken was mushy; the sauce was off.
- - Manager said they were just cleaned.
Washrooms, very unsanitary, lack of toilet paper, dried *** on the floor, build-up of urine behind toilets. Chicken was mushy, sauce didn't taste like we usually eat at other locations.
This location was Innisfil, ON, store 291. We mentioned to the manager who responded with 'they were just cleaned.' Sad that workers have no pride in their work.
User's recommendation: Stay far away from Swiss Chalet Innisfil ON store 291
We were told only 1 white meat and 1 dark meat when we wanted 2 white !!
- - Only one white dinner was available, with a 30-minute wait.
- - The next customer got two whites; the reviewer said the server was told to do this.

Next customer in line: 2 quarter whites dinner
Server : sure .
Cash done .
That is Disgustingly!! The poor server was told to do this
User's recommendation: Don’t go to that franchise . They are very CHEAP

Too bad they gave you something free. You may try to pull this sort of thing again.
If you wanted a refund because the chicken was raw, you should have returned the "raw chicken"
