Swiss Chalet in Sarnia offers a classic full-service dining experience centered on rotisserie chicken and comforting, hearty meals. Located right on London Road, it fits well into the local dining scene as a familiar spot for families and casual gatherings, especially when you’re craving straightforward, meat-centric dishes with some Canadian comfort food touches.

The atmosphere here leans towards no-frills and welcoming rather than upscale or trendy—perfect for a relaxed dinner or a weekend meal out where the focus is on filling plates rather than fancy surroundings. You’re likely to find Swiss Chalet a bit lively during dinner hours, and the service staff often juggle busy shifts, though most guests notice they do so with steady attentiveness; servers like Julie, Jaya, and Rowena have been noted for maintaining friendly, patient service even on hectic nights.

What stands out on the menu are those rotation-style signature chicken dinners, but there’s also a variety of options like poutine, chicken pot pie, and pulled BBQ chicken sandwiches. If you’re sharing with a group or feeding the family, items like the Chalet Chicken Soup (available in a family size) or loaded perogies offer some local comfort-food favourites. For those who prefer something lighter, the garden salad or veggie burger show there’s choice beyond just meat.

Dessert also plays a role for many visitors, with classics like coconut cream pie and lemon meringue pie alongside seasonal specials such as pumpkin pie and cheesecakes topped with toffee or cookies & creme. These end-of-meal treats tend to be popular markers of a meal wrapped up with a familiar, homey taste.

Overall, Swiss Chalet in Sarnia feels like a spot that suits local families, older crowds appreciating consistent comfort food, and anyone who enjoys a dependable rotisserie chicken dinner without the fuss. Weeknights might find the staff stretched thin, particularly during busy holiday seasons, but the atmosphere remains that of a straightforward, casual diner where service-minded staff do their best to keep the experience pleasant.

Haven’t been for a year because of poor service. I was presently surprised at the great service my group received from Julie at the Sarnia Swiss Chalet. I will definitely go regularly again. Great work!

I had an amazing experience thanks to our server, Jaya. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. Her recommendations were spot-on, and the service genuinely made the meal better. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Our server "Rowena" at Swiss Chalet was wonderful—friendly, patient, and genuinely attentive. She made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. The food came out hot and on time and the food was very delicious , and they checked in regularly to make sure everything was perfect. Their great attitude made the whole visit feel relaxed and enjoyable.

Always good service and food when we have dined here. Rowena was our server. Very polite and attentive. Toffee cheesecake & warm apple pie was a good top off to our meal.

We had a great meal at our local Swiss Chalet in Sarnia last night! But our poor waitress Christine was looking after at least 10 tables BY HERSELF! Oh, and trying to train a new girl as well! This girl deserves a raise! Plus the Hostess was bussing the tables as well as looking after the front counter! Obviously there was a staffing problem. Busy nights with Christmas coming the Manager needs to do a better job at managing! Five stars for the waitress, zero for Management!
