I for one am real glad that they made it through and are now open once again for dine in Great rustic ambience and charm that truly complements the food and hospitality PS: I wish they decide to serve their corn bread in smaller portions

Aug 28th. Ordered the sampler with ribs, pulled rock and brisket, fries and coleslaw sides and an…read moreorder of burnt ends. Ribs - salty and a little tough. Not fall off the bone as they were the year before. Pulled pork - not good at all. Had a vinegar flavour and really disappointed. Brisket - incredible and to die for. Al least one dish was great. Fries and slaw were very good. Burnt ends - for $17 you got 5 pieces swimming in a sea of sauce. 1/2 were flavorful and 1/2 so rock hard and impossible to chew. Overall this is the worst experience we have had with this take out. We get takeout every year once or twice each time we are up in the blue mountain. May need to try a chain like Montana's next time as we were so disappointed this time.

We were immediately welcomed at the entrance by a friendly smile and asked for our preferred seating - we chose to sit in the bar area. Our waitress / bar keep was super attentive, which made our experience very nice! The ribs were delicious, and the sauces just as good too. The 2 of us shared the large meal. There was plenty to eat, and some to take away. Overall, Montana's is a nice meal with excellent service. We'll definitely visit when we're in the area.

A couple Saturdays ago, I was running a few errands. Once I was done, I felt like visiting a diner for lunch. I did a search and found Poached Dreams Diner in Aurora. I didn't mind driving up from Markham to check it out. It was straightforward getting here. I parked in the parking lot and walked in from what looked like the back of the diner. There's also a front door with a patio that faces Wellington Street East. I was immediately greeted by a young, enthusiast woman. I let her know that I needed a table for one. She got me to a comfortable booth by the window. The catch is that you have to watch your step to get to your seat. It's a treat when I have breakfast out. I thought that I'd be getting french toast. Well, all that changed when I saw a heading for comfort foods on the menu. Nothing makes me happier than seeing open-faced sandwiches on a menu. It was probably during my days living in Winnipeg that I fell in love with such sandwiches and at least a side. New goal: come here and have every open-faced sandwich on the menu. I got cold water to start. It was refreshing and much needed after running errands. I ordered these items for my meal: - Diet Coke (2) - Hot turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and veggies My Diet Coke came with a glass with ice. I loved it. I wish the can was larger! I needed a second can for dessert. I loved my hot turkey sandwich. There was a generous amount of sliced turkey smothered in sauce over a slice of white bread. I got to choose my starch. I went with mashed potatoes. There was enough gravy over the turkey that I dunked my spoonfuls of mashed potatoes into it. I loved the steamed veggies. They were perfectly cooked. They also went into the gravy. The meal was delicious. I'd order it again. I felt like dessert. I asked if there was any. Baklava with pistachios. I said yes. I thought that it would be a square or rectangle. Nope. I got a roll. Cool! It was perfect. It had the right amount of honey. It was crispy and yummy. So good! I paid my bill at the table. I tipped and then tapped my credit card. I elected to have the receipt texted to my phone, which also signed me up for its points program. Yay! I learned that this diner has been open since June 2025. I'm always late to any party because I seem to live under a rock or in a cave. I'm glad that I visited this eatery. Great food. Great service. Great! I used the washroom before I left. The women's washroom was clean and had a full-length mirror. This eatery is huge. It looks like there's a cafe for those grabbing coffee and maybe a snack before leaving. I look forward to returning for more good eats and drinks. (148)

Upon entering, the space is super spacious and clean. My friend ordered their 2 egg special with bacon, and I ordered their soup and sandwich combo ($12/13).

Amazing food and great service, I would like to come back and try some of their dinners dishes.

I visited this establishment tonight for dinner with my boyfriend. I had received a gift card for…read moremy birthday that also came with a second gift card that included $175 worth of savings like a coupon card. It directed me on the coupon card to check out a website to see what "coupons" were offered from the participating restaurants. Before visiting Swiss Chalet tonight I had visited the website and noted that we could get a free appetizer with the purchase of two adult entrees if we used the card. The website directed me to show the server the coupon card before ordering. There is a stripe on the card for the server to swipe on their machines as well as an area on the back to scratch off to reveal the gift card code . At our visit tonight, I told the server about the gift card and the coupon card. She then went on to tell me that I should have received a printed coupon book with the gift card when it was purchased. I received nothing I told her since this was a gift. I said I didn't understand why I would need a printed coupon book when the coupon card had a stripe on it for swiping and nothing on the website mentions anything about paper coupons. I also went on to tell her it does not say that on the gift card or online. She went to ask her manager and returned to say the manager told her I was supposed to activate the gift card. I told her I didn't know what she was talking about (both cards would have been activated at time of purchase, right?!) and proceeded to show her on my phone what the website says including how I only needed to present the card at the time of ordering and showed her how it had a stripe to swipe on the back to process the order. She agreed to put in our order and use the card to see if she could process the appetizer for free. After we ordered, she took the card and processed the order wth the appetizer. She reported she was able to do so and when we got our bill at the end of the night, I saw it was taken off the bill. So, my point is, the wait staff AND the MANAGER need to be better trained on how to process the gift cards that come with these extra coupon cards. She and the manager had no idea how to process them and she only realized what to do after it was me the customer showed her how to process because I took the time to look at the website beforehand. We ordered a spinach dip appetizer which was very good and very filling. I ordered a chicken pot pie and had to bring most of it home. My boyfriend ordered a holiday chicken feast which came in a large position. I want to thank our server Darcy for her patience with us when we were working through the gift card and coupon card issue but again, the company needs to train the staff on how to process these. I shouldn't have to do that as a customer
