For dinner, we each had the french onion soup, and then I had the pan fried cod with pork scrunchions. My mom had the pesto chicken linguini, while my dad had the 8oz striploin, medium. The french onion soup was excellent, caught me off guard for a place like this where you wouldn't think they specialize in it...but it was really good. The pan fried cod with pork scrunchions was just as good (I probably could've done without the scrunchions though, but it's fine). My mom said her pesto chicken linguini was to her satisfaction. The striploin...was the most overcooked thing my dad has ever eaten. So he requested to swap to the chicken linguini, which the kitchen did end up doing. Breakfast was good here (especially considered it was included with the stay). No complaints with the food we were served there. Service was a bit unattentive in the sense that the servers refused to refill our water...and when I asked to refill the water, the server only refilled my water and not my parents (whose glasses were also as empty). I will say that despite the shortcomings with service, the food here is really good for a hotel restaurant, and I'd still recommend it to those in the area.

The Chef's Board of seafood was quite good, though the "roasted vegetable of the day" was barely warm. Partridgeberry chicken was fair, with the same veggie issues as the seafood dish. The restaurant does talk about a wine list. The by-the-glass selections are all traditional offerings, as are the by-the-bottle wines. I believe there were seven reds and six whites on each side of the wine list. Prices top out at 50/bottle so. Service was pretty good, and the restaurant itself is comfortably quirky.

It certainly wasn't quiet but we had no difficulty having a conversation. As we finished off there were even more people waiting to get in. There are big screen TV's that featured a football game. I ordered the Cod Tacos with a side salad for $15.99. They were quite filling even though they're probably one of the lowest cost items on the menu. There is lots of parking and it's easy to find as its right on the TransCanada Highway. If you don't mind waiting for a table you'll probably enjoy a meal here. It's pretty much a chicken place (with a few exceptions such as my cod tacos) and if your okay with that then you'll find something to satisfy your hunger at Jungle Jim's.

Heather, Donald and Angie (and the rest of the staff) are exceptional representatives of this restaurant company. Our son has anaphylactic allergies to dairy and nuts, and Swiss Chalet's excellent allergy program means it's the ONLY restaurant we know about that he can safely eat at in Canada. On our first visit about a month ago, the staff accommodated over our 30 hockey players and parents with less than 2 hours notice, allowing our son to safely eat in a restaurant with his hockey team for the 1st time ever. Our server Heather and manager Don were exceptional and attentive hosts, and our family and team were sincerely grateful. On our 2nd visit yesterday, we were lucky to be served by Heather again, and she remembered our son's allergy AND HIS ORDER from over a month ago! We are so impressed and thankful to these wonderful people for their outstanding professionalism and incredible customer service. The food was, as always, excellent and the service was authentic, genuine, and first rate. We highly recommend the Gander Swiss Chalet/Harvey's; exceptional people should be recognized and celebrated for the value they add to their patrons and their company. My son said he doesn't remember his first Swiss Chalet meal, but that he will never forget this meal, because of the service. Thank you from us all.

This place is definitely the small town diner ambiance and you could tell most people knew one another. We came right at lunch and it was busy but we still only waited 5-10 min for a table. We were served right away and the server was patient with us when we changed our minds a bit choice wise. We had the special which was a chicken wrap and a turkey wrap both with soup. The food came out quickly, was fresh and the soup very flavorful! Our waters were kept full and the server was so sweet to our little girl and even gave her a special cookie treat. We had hoped to try the famous "moose farts" but they didn't have any that day sadly. So we "settled" for the chocolate dipped peanut butter cookies that will remain a staple in our minds as one of the top cookies ever! Great stop for lunch for sure!

Let's run away to Gander and Get Mary'd!!!…read more Funny story. I was visiting St. John's for a few weeks. I'd tried to make plans with a dear friend of mine but our schedules seemed to be in conflict. Then while travelling the province enroute to The Change Islands, we decide we'd not had enough Mary Brown's since we'd been on the island, and therefore it was the perfect destination for lunch. Who should we run into in the Gander Mary Browns? My friend from St. John's entire fam damily! Bumped into my friend's sister in the hallway by the bathroom. Screamed so loud when we saw each other that people in the restaurant thought I was being murdered. I was so excited to see her I couldn't even remember her name!!! And guess where they are headed? The same tiny community we were..... A twist of fate that could only be experienced by Newfoundlanders. (It's a small world after all.....) Seemed like fate brought us here. That and hunger. Fueled up to continue our journey with a Big Mary meal complete with their famous seasoned wedge fries and salads. The kiddlywinks ate the wedgie poutine - many thumbs up. On our return through the area a week later we stopped in again. No chance encounters on that day - just great chicken, wedgie poutine and salads, and fast service.
