Comfort Food Restaurants near Richmond Hill, ON

“We truly enjoyed a leisurely lunch today at Kelsey's Richmond Hill. We need to give a lot of the credit and thanks to our server, Sarah, who was always there when we needed her. She provided us with some excellent suggestions for food and drinks as well as impeccable service coming from a warm and friendly person. While my wife was thoroughly enjoying a cup of tea and a hearty soup with salad and a sandwich, I was just beside myself with every bite of the mushroom melt burger. The burger and fries were prepared and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend that you try this burger, especially if you love mushrooms. Treat yourself. I was also introduced to a delicious refreshing beer called Muskoka Pineapple Ninja. I've never seen it before and it appears that if I can't find anywhere else I'll have to go back. All in all, this was a perfect afternoon. Also, we have promised ourselves that we are going to do this again next week.“

“We came on Wednesday around 1 pm. It was not too busy and surprisingly in most restaurants the less customers the worse the service gets so we were really delighted when we had food and service which was 10 out of 10. Our server was Zoran and he gave us maximum level attention and care. Our food, I ordered wings and fries and my friend ordered chicken sandwich and fries, was hot and delicious. Our desserts were delightful. Thank you very much, Zoran for your excellent service and thanks to the chefs for the great Swiss Chalet food. It was a perfect dining experience and we are both so grateful.“

“Have loved Swiss chalet for over 40 years. This location is our favourite because of our wonderfully attentive server Andeshah. She greets us nicely and always gets our order correct. She even knows what we want before we order!!
Highly recommend this location. It’s clean and the staff are wonderful and so is the food.“

“The staff at this Montanas is top notch! The food and service were great. For the first time, I sat near a family that set up a TRAIN SET on their table with one boisterous child. That chaos was their fault, not the restaurants. Who does that? Stop it.“

“The food was delicious. I had the mushroom chicken pasta, their signature dish. It did not disappoint! My friend had the cod and loved it. The atmosphere was lovely. The service was very good and very efficient. We loved the dining experience here and recommend it highly.“

“My wife Lorrie and I dropped in to Kelsey’s for dinner tonight and a great meal as always Excellent burgers with a great selection of assorted food on the menu with drink specials It was great to see Ricky again still behind the bar with all his charm and smiles as he greets you at your table It’s was also nice to see the manager walking around the restaurant talking to everyone throughout the night Let’s not forget the great selection of desserts Thanks Guys Paul Sands Unionville“

“I visited Swiss Chalet last weekend with a group of friends, and our experience was absolutely fantastic, all thanks to our wonderful server, Jade (Yu). From the moment we were seated, Jade made us feel welcome and comfortable. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and had such a fun, bubbly personality that truly made our visit memorable.

She went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, checking in at just the right times and making us feel like valued guests. The food was great, and of course, the classic Swiss Chalet sauce was fabulous as always. What really stood out, though, was Jade’s exceptional service.

If you’re reading this, Jade, just know that Swiss Chalet is lucky to have you. You are truly one of their biggest assets. My entire group absolutely loved you, and we will be coming back to this location specifically because of the amazing experience you gave us.“

“The Miso Salmon was tasty. Seating was nice. Service was good.“

“I dropped by for my birthday on Sunday. I must say that I truly enjoyed my meal. The ribs were soft and full of flavor and the drinks were nice. Shout big out and Thank you to my server,Nia, his customer service was on par and excellent. Made sure that we got our meals on time and that everything was ok. I will definitely be visiting again.“

“Visited to see what was available and found a comprehensive supply of Filipino goods at reasonable Canadian prices. The staff were friendly and efficient and speak Tagalog. I also tried the pork adobo and found it was pretty good. A good portion of rice and the adobo had a nice juicy flavour. The price of the adobo was $12 which would be the price I'd expect to pay for food from a food court. There were several tables available to eat inside.“

“After grocery we always go out for lunch and i find Swiss chalet good for my Boss who has Gluten restrictions. Some food are gluten free so its always great to come back for more delicious meal! Plus the promo or combo are very satisfying!“

“The food, the atmosphere and the service are all top tier. I am ADDICTED to their Smokey Gar Par wings. They are the perfect balance of savoury and sweet. My mouth is watering just thinking about them. 12/10 Would recommend.“

“On Sunday, I went to Kelsey's and had nachos and an ultimate bacon burger, both of which were delicious. We had a discount coupon from another Kelsey, but their manager still gave us a discount and free dessert. I would highly recommend this to everyone.“

“Back in Canada after 6 years and finally could go to Swiss Chalet. It was perfect just like we remember it... the sauce mmh!!!
The service was outstanding from Sonia. Very friendly, efficient and caring. Thank you very much to you and the Swiss Chalet Team!! Andrew“

“I bought their poutine. I can't eat beef but I can have chicken so they were accommodating of my dietary needs. They gave me a non - beef gravy that would meet my dietary needs. Poutine was great. I was really hungry so the poutine really helped.“

“Excellent breakfast omelette, home cut fries, Texas toast and a lovely fruit dish. Gelatto ice cream is first rate, too. Wonderful friendly, caring service. Will definitely have this place as a breakfast go to. Lunches looked very tasteful, wholesome, too. Very nice decor of the tables.“

“Always an enjoyable spot for our family to meet for lunch. Now, they have live music. Awesome!“

“If you like delicious food, then this is the place, as well as for vegetarians there is a large selection.“

“good food, good drinks,wonderful waitress ( sarita), amazing atmosphere. highly suggest coming here. second time here and will be back“

“Just stumbled upon restaurant while on the road. I was searching for a restaurant offering vegetarian options and I was not disappointed by this one.
Small and cozy but fits a lots of people. Staff was fun, helpful and guided us through the menu.
The soups were delicious and the portions were large.
Hope to return next time we are inthe neighborhood.“

“Great food and our server Connie was sweet, friendly and gave us great service. Good portions and quality food. Thank you!“

“A family favourite. Our server Claudia is great. She has a great rapport with kids and is very hospitable. This location in general is a good one, even when busy the hosts are on top of your order. If you’re in the area, visit them at least once.“

“Follow @bredgyeats for more food pics!

Quartet that sings in harmony, all bringing a slightly different tone while sharing a common aburi theme. The shrimp, salmon, tuna, and unagi are all torched to bring out their inherent savory aromas, along with a subtle smokiness and a rich mayo topping. The marinated sushi rice ties each bite altogether with a slight chewy mouthfeel, pleasant sweetness and a refreshing tang“

“Good food, good service! Definitely will come back again :D“

“I got the turkey club sandwich and chicken noodle soup - both pretty standard. However, service here is fantastic and the lady that works here is absolutely lovely to talk to!

Compared to other sandwich shops/franchises, I found it a bit pricey for the amount you get, but it tastes very homemade and healthy.“

“This is a MUST GO TO Restaurant. I went for breakfast on March 20/23. My experience started with the best service from General Manager Gary Anthony. He was friendly, informative, and fast. The breakfast menu has everything. I love Eggs Bennie. While my style was not on the menu, Gary made it happen anyway. THE BEST EGGS BENNIE EVER! Gary recommended the Banana/Orange/Strawberry juice (it says fresh on the menu). I asked if it was "that grocery store brand" that shall not be named here. He said NO, we made it fresh from real fruit in the blender. It was like a smoothie from heaven. I will return often. While I live about 30 - 40 k from this restaurant (I had an appointment near it that morning) - I will be returning again and often. Next time I'm bringing my wife - She'll love it. Thank you Gary.“

“They have great food there but don’t go there hungry. You will be waiting forever for your food. We had many instances where we waited way too long for our food that we just decided not to go back. We stayed away for awhile and thought to give it another try tonight. Not only did we wait forever for our food, others got seated & served before us. I waived the manager down and she gives the excuse of the waffle maker being broken then the waitress says it was because they got our slips mixed up. They gave me antra salad to make up for it and my kid got sprinkles on his waffles. No discount on the bill. I loved going to this place but we will not be visiting Symposium again“

“Have had diner/lunch at the Henderson location on many occasions.
There is a server named Jim that is fantastic.
Attention to detail is second to none.
Food and drinks come out quickly no matter how busy.
Food hot, drinks cold.
Can't thank jim enough for the attention and great food.“

“Wonderful place on a Saturday afternoon, sunny or cloudy. They are great staff. It can be slow because there is one employee on. BUT that is ok with me as I want to relax. Having more than one server is not justified. I hope people understand this when going in there. 😎“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful Experience at Swiss Chalet!

I had an amazing time dining at Swiss Chalet recently! The food was delicious as always, but what truly made the experience memorable was the warm hospitality and exceptional service provided by Emanuela.

She was incredibly patient, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit — making sure we had everything we needed and more. From helping us with recommendations to ensuring our table felt welcomed and cared for, she made us feel right at home.

Thank you, Emanuela, for your kindness and professionalism. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I just had the best lunch at Jinmee in the Galleria food court! Their Pork Bone Soup (Gamja Tang) is seriously amazing—it came out in a sizzling hot pot, and it hit the spot. I have to give a special shoutout to the radish in sweet and sour juice! I've never been served anything like it with Korean food before, and it was so good I asked for more. The lady at the counter was super nice and hooked me up with another full serving for free. I'll definitely be back for more!“

“Food is good. Its on the pricey side of fast food/take out. The food i ordered (attached image) was $14. Ive been going here for years and i use to go a lot more often because they gave a big amount of portions. Ever since they changed their containers to the one from my photo, they dont give a lot. Food is still delicious, i dont think their price per portion equates and so thats why im giving them 4 stars instead of 5.“

“Our experience was exceptional. Kat, our server, provided outstanding service. We informed her that our group had not met in nearly a year, indicating a prolonged stay. She proactively communicated the happy hour end time and assured us that we were welcome to remain thereafter, with happy hour pricing honored for orders placed before 6 p.m. She consistently monitored our satisfaction. The food we ordered was excellent, and the portion sizes were generous.“

“Tucked away in a small food court plaza, this place is a hidden gem. I usually get the chicken wrap, and the staff are always friendly and flexible with customizations. Prices are very reasonable, with combos under $10 and generous portions. The husband and wife who run it make the place feel really welcoming. I’ve also tried the calamari and other seafood options, all very good. Open late and always consistent.“
