Don't count on points being returned

In 2023 I tried to do an online order through Swiss Chalet. The company cancelled the order, but not before they removed 2,000 points from my Scene+ card. I asked them to put these points back; they told me Scene+ would return them, but it would take time. Almost a year has passed, and they have not returned the points. If you call Scene+ they claim the restaurant must return the points. When you do online, you do not get a receipt; at least I did not get one! I wrote to Swiss Chalet. They requested the receipt. But, I did not receive one since I cancelled the online order on the phone with their representative. Who also told me that Scene+ would return the points. Joke that was. I am not impressed; once I use all the points, I will discard this card for good. I will not return to Swiss Chalet or use the Scene+ card. Both cause constant problems and no one can tell the truth.

Making our family happy…

In North Bay, ON., we were seated quickly and served promptly! They accommodated us without hesitation with son in a wheelchair. Our waitress was very pleasant and attentive... the portions were huge and delicious!

Reserved Thanksgiving dinner for 9…

Reserved Thanksgiving dinner for 9 adults October 13, 2024. Staff were welcoming, our waitress patient and accommodating in spite of the majority of the orders were different. Food, as usual, very good. Yonge & St. Clair location.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food was almost 2 hours late

Family Feast was a disaster. Ordered ahead at noon for 5pm and was not ready until 6:45. Toddlers had to be fed alternate meal and put to bed before we could eat. They took our order with a variety of pies and then ran out and gave us all pumpkin which we hate. Forgot two of our side dishes. I will never order there again! Important family holiday ruined.

I places a pickup order and when I got there I had to wait for an hour before I got my order. They said it would be ready in 15 minutes. The order was cold when I got it home and microwave fries are soggy and tasted terrible. I also wanted 1 gravey and they couldn't get that right and gave me the terrible dipping sauce. This place was so miss managed it was ridiculous. Never again at this place and worst meal ever.

At terrible delivery service !!!!!!

At 5:45 p.m. Yesterday evening I placed an order for delivery from Swiss chalet at the Linden park mall in Brantford, Ontario, they gave me an ETA arrival time of 6:27 p.m. next thing I know it was 628 then 629 then 6:32 and 6:35 and 6:39 then 6:47. I waited and waited before I called them to get an idea update on where my order was. I had to go through three different people before I got somebody who would tell me where it was and then they told me that. Oh don't worry it won't be cold. Well when I finally got it at 6:53, the fries were cold. The gravy mildly hot and the chicken sandwich which was supposed to be a hot chicken sandwich was fine but it wasn't a hot chicken sandwich because the gravy was mildly cold So do not trust Swiss chalet to get you your meal. When they say it will arrive I never will again if I want to Swiss chalet I guess I will just have to get up and go get it myself. But it is highly unlikely I will ever eat it again even though I like it very much

Party of 4 went to the Swiss Chalet…

Party of 4 went to the Swiss Chalet (2150 Carling Ave., Ottawa - 2 Oct 2024). We each ordered the festive chicken dinner. There were very few people in the restaurant, but we still waited 45 minutes. Three of the meals were returned as they were just luke warm. Two of the meals were missing cranberry and stuffing. When they came back, they were still not hot. The server (who was very good), was close to tears. Three of us left most of the dinner. The dessert pies were good. The bill was discounted by two meals. Over the past 9 months we have experienced a deteriorating service/food quality. Spoke to the manager (very young), who just kept repeating, "Yes sir" - no apology was forthcoming. Told him that we would not be back until there is a drastic change.
