She was so friendly, attentive, and accommodating to our needs. She sold us on trying the new menu items and the whole experience felt personable.It’s hard to find top-tier customer service like this these days. Derks truly made our night special, and we highly recommend dining here!“

“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.“

“The staff here are very kind and helpful.
They have a positive attitude and it makes visiting here a joy.
The woman who made our veggie burgers put just the right amount of toppings.
The man ringing in the sale was good at explaining something I got confused about.
Keep these people around!“

“We had such a wonderful dining experience at Pickle Barrel! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The soup of the day (Butternut Squash) was warm, comforting, and full of flavor. The calamari was crispy and tender, and the NY striploin was juicy, perfectly cooked, and so flavorful. The lobster and shrimp linguine was another favorite — creamy, rich, and loaded with delicious seafood. Every dish was satisfying and beautifully prepared.

A special shoutout to Ate Leny for her excellent service! She was warm, friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel well taken care of throughout our meal. Her wonderful service made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Delicious food, great service, and such a lovely meal. We’ll definitely be coming back! ❤“

“I go 2 or 3 times a week. The staff are very friendly and professional. I love their chicken wraps and the hamburgers are awesome. Thanks alot!“

“Finally. Someone who serves meat samosas. And excellent samosas at that. At an excellent price as well. What more could one ask for. Service, food and price all excellent. I will be back often now that I have found them. And how I found them was a recommendation from a stranger standing behind me in line at a different samosa restaurant closer to home when she over heard me saying I hope they also had beef samosas. Thanks stranger. You were right.“

“Wanted to give this place a try as I heard many good things. The wings themselves were actually pretty good. Varied in size which is always interesting but flavour was pretty great. My only complaint is the fries. I got there Jaffa fries, the sauce and toppings on the fries were pretty good, but the fries themselves tasted pretty under cooked. Very soft and flimsy. It also didnt help that they were covered in sauce and toppings so in the end they were mushy.“

“I didn't know what to expect. Came for breakfast with my wife the next morning after veld. The service was great. Our waitress was extremely friendly. The eggs Benny hit perfectly. My wife got pancakes and bacon and everything was delicious. Great place to hit up after a weekend at veld!“

“Great food, excelent service“

“Gotta love swiss chalet ! Im basic and always get the original quarter chicken dinner. I haven't dined in for a while but Shireen really went over the top to make sure we had everything. Free refills are amazing! Highly recommend checking out this location“

“My new husband and I had the most amazing wedding at Granite Brewery. The owner Sam has so much expertise when it comes to wedding planning, and he made the whole process run so smoothly. The staff did so much of the prep work day-of that our setup crew barely had anything to worry about. We had our ceremony in the courtyard and it was stunning. We chose the buffet option for dinner and it was absolutely delicious! There was tons and tons of food to go around, with plenty of options for guests with dietary restrictions. The dining room was the perfect size for our group of 87, and the staff helped make room for a dance floor after dinner. We found our DJ, MC, photographers, and officiant on Granite’s list of recommended vendors and they were all fantastic. At the end of the night, the Granite staff did all of the tear-down work and tidied up our decorations so that we could easily pick them up the next day. We are so thankful for all of their help.

We had the best wedding ever!!! Can’t recommend Granite enough.“

“We love Swiss chalet food and today we tried at this location and Smit was our server he made our experience amazing! Wonderful service from him he was so friendly and made us feel very welcome! I honestly did not expect much since my experiences other locations were not the best but Smit was so good to us. Will definitely always go to this location whenever I’m craving Swiss chalet!! Thank you Smit hope to see you soon😊😋“

“It was beautiful to eat there and very authentic even for European, btw I from Germany and it felt any term of cliche. The other costumer doesn't know to remove their plates to the return point but that isn't an issue of the business. Nethertheless, my meal was very good and the tomato sauve was perfect. Thanks a lot God, that my path of lives came nearby.“
