Comfort Food Restaurants near Oakville, ON

“Had an amazing experience at Kelsey’s thanks to our waiter, Shiyanthan. He was absolutely top tier from start to finish, he was super fast, attentive, and always making sure everything was taken care of without us even having to ask. On top of that, he was incredibly kind and welcoming which made the whole experience even better.

You can tell he genuinely cares about giving great service and making customers feel looked after. Easily one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had in a while. Huge thanks to Shiyanthan, he definitely deserves recognition and we’ll be coming back!“

“Natasha was a complete delight. Very attentive without rushing our food or dinning experience.
You need to hire more servers like her!

We will ask for her by name the next time we are in.

Keep up the good work Natasha.“

“We decided to come here after my daughter’s graduation on her choice. My daughter has eaten here before and said it was very good and you know what, it was! Domenic our server was amazing, he was very patient, friendly and got everything to us quickly! He even made suggestions on what was very popular on the menu to help us make a decision! I would definitely come here again, good work Domenic and Milestones Oakville!“

“This by far, has been my best experience at a Swiss Chalet. I've been to ones all over southern Ontario. The food was top notch and the service by SUSAN was the best I've ever experienced! The restaurant itself was quite snazzy! Love the red flowers at the door especially!“

“Picked up some Spaghetti and Meatballs for my kid and his buddy earlier today. Service was great and the description was legit that this place is home style. 15 bones for sgetti and meatballs was ok considering there was a good meat to noodle/sauce ratio. My kid is fussy so I wasn’t sure how this would go over but he loved it. Him and his bro rated it at 4.5 stars. I would have given this a perfect score on atmosphere but parking at the strip mall was so so and egress was little dicey. Had to squeal the tires to avoid getting T boned.“

“I had a good experience at Symposium Cafe. The menu has a good variety, and the prices are reasonable. My recommendation is the Fettuccine Alfredo—it’s creamy, simple, and comforting, especially with the mushrooms, basil, and garlic toast.“

“When I was on a date with someone we both enjoyed the food. She enjoyed her meal and I enjoyed mine. We look forward to going again.“

“Our family went to this Swiss Chalet for dinner this evening...we had a great time and loved our server by the name of Farzy Thank you Farzy!!“

“Great place, great food and great staff. Tony, our server, was great....very knowledgeable about the menú and ready to suggest what we we wanted. Thanks Tony.“

“Great angus burger! So much better then McDonald’s.“

“I cannot leave anything less than 5 stars. Amazing service. Cold beer taps plus a solid selection of beers. Food came out hot. Couldn't have been happier and I know I have found my new local spot.“

“I’m honestly mad this was my first time visiting this spot because it’s truly a hidden gem. ✨ It’s a family-owned Maltese bakery serving traditional Maltese cuisine and baked goods, and they’ve been here for 13 years!

I had never tried pastizzi before, and wow… absolutely mouthwatering. I tried both varieties: the beef and vegetable, and the cheese. They were crispy, crunchy, soft, and packed with flavour. You can tell this is their specialty. I didn’t have time to take pictures as they were devoured 🤣

I also picked up desserts — the apple crumble tart and the pecan tart — and both were phenomenal. You can tell the ingredients that were used are high quality, which was perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. You can truly taste the love and care put into every bite. As you can tell from the photos they are glistening🫰

Cappuccino was also fantastic

Highly recommend this spot, and I’ll definitely be coming back!🤍“

“Service was slow, long wait between the starter salad and meal, management needs to look at better staffing!“

“A friend and I went to the restaurant for lunch yesterday. All of our food was excellent and the service was the best I've ever experienced at a restaurant. Our waitress was kind, attentive and had great menu suggestions. When we stayed for coffee she even put on a fresh pot.“

“Been to this location on numerous occasions and we have been very fortunate to have Christine C. as our server on multiple occasions. We will request her each time we come to the restaurant. Thank you Christine you were awesome as always!!“

“As a vegetarian, you wouldn’t normally think of Swiss Chalet as a go to, however there are lots of great options. We enjoyed the vegetarian pot pie with a side of the new Mac & cheese as well as a Fiesta Salad - both were delicious! The highlight of our experience was our amazing server, Kinsey! Her attention to detail and genuine kindness made our day. We saw how she treated all of her customers and it was so lovely!“

“Best BBQ food that is close to home when I don’t feel like cooking“

“​I recently tried the beef samosas at Hamdi, and they are easily some of the best I’ve had in a long time. For just $1.50(including tax) each, the value is unbeatable. They are served fresh, hot, and incredibly crispy and crunchy.
​The recipe is simple but perfect 👌 and a very generous amount of beef, and it's not overly spicy. They are surprisingly filling, too; if you eat three of them, you can honestly skip a meal. A must-try if you are looking for a fantastic, budget-friendly bite!“

“An amazing cafe with fantastic food, a beautiful atmosphere, and exceptional hospitality. The café has a warm, thoughtfully designed ambience that makes you want to stay a little longer. The food was delicious, with every item prepared with care and attention to detail. Service was prompt, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit.

The highlight, however, was the involvement of the owners themselves. Their hands-on approach, genuine warmth, and attention to every guest create an experience that feels personal rather than transactional. You can tell this café is a labor of love. Highly recommended!“

“Had a lovely brunch with my dad and 2 children this morning and was served by a lovely young woman named Patricia. I believe she mentioned she was new to the restaurant but if she hadn't have mentioned that, we never would have known. Patricia was great. Knowledgeable with the menu , timing was perfect and just a joy to have serve us! I am also a server and I know a good server when I see one. My children rarely finish what they order when we're out but today they both cleaned their plates AND finished mine :) delicious food, great service. We dont live in the area but will definitely be coming back! Great job team 👏“

“We had Lena as our waitress and she was simply PHENOMENAL. Cannot overstate how great the experience was because of her. We watched her juggle many, many tables with ease, and yet we never felt forgotten or abandoned.

Lena deserves a raise!!“

“The Manager Nars is a great asset to this location. My order accidentally went to another Swiss Chalet location quickly corrected it for me with a smile! Very efficient, excellent customer service! Great Job!“

“Had a wonderful experience last night.
We had never been to a Milestones before as we don’t have them in the States. We were on our way to the border when we saw Milestones off the highway and came in for a bite to eat.

Our waitress was wonderful.
We told her we’d never been to a Milestones and she took her time and explained the whole menu to us. What Milestones is known for, what her favourites are, asked if we had any allergies. We don’t any but I’m always very appreciative when a server asks as my other son who wasn’t with us has food allergies. She was extremely knowledgeable of the menu as we had a lot of questions.

Thank you Hannah for such a wonderful and fun night, you were fantastic.“

“Had a really enjoyable dinner at Milestones and wanted to recognize Divya P for the excellent service. She was friendly, welcoming, and made us feel comfortable right away. What stood out most was how attentive she was throughout the meal- she checked in regularly, made sure everything was prepared correctly, and was always quick to help whenever we needed anything.

Thank you for your kindness, it’s refreshing as you don’t get service like this much anymore!“
