I love this place. It is clean and very reasonably priced. The staff is very friendly and their food is not only plentiful but fresh and DELICIOUS! (house/side salad actually has tomatoes and cheese on it with mixed greens) Finally a sit down restaurant you can afford. :-) read more

We enjoy coming here for breakfast or lunch fairly often. The staff is very friendly and has gotten to know us as we have come in. Service is usually fast and the food is delicious! read more

Having passed Swiss Alps many times as we passed through Monroe, we had never stopped... until last weekend. We were both hungry and thought why not, lets give it a try. We're so glad we did! They are only open for breakfast and lunch. We walked into this restaurant that has a very small town feel with a Swiss theme. The walls were painted in a Swiss style that my girlfriend said reminded of her time spent in southern Germany. The booths and counter remind me of something from the 60s. The booths could use some maintenance and repairs. The booth we sat at the upholstery was cracked. You could see the foam padding. We arrived and it did not take long to be greeted and seated. The service here was fantastic. The staff was on top of everything. They were friendly, attentive, but not intrusive. Honestly it was some of the perfect service we have ever had. As for the food... Well... You have to love a small-town family restaurant. I had the Country Fried steak and Eggs. It was some of the best Country Fried Steak and Eggs I've had in a long time, and definitely the best I've had in the region. When it was brought to the table, I didn't have high expectations as the Gravy looked like it was going to be a plain white gravy with little to no flavor. First impressions can be very wrong. It had a great flavor and was delicious. The steak was cooked to perfection. The breading was a crispy, flavorful delight. I had zero complaints. It came with hashbrowns. Normally when I order hashbrowns I ask for them to be fried extra crispy because I feel it adds to the flavor. I forgot to do this, but I didn't need to. They weren't as cooked as I prefer, but they had a great flavor that, when mixed with either the eggs or gravy, were absolutely delightful. My girlfriend ordered the eggs and hashbrowns and was impressed by the hashbrowns before I even had a chance to taste them. They were great. With that being said, remember this is a small-town family restaurant. The food is what you're going to get at these locations. This is not a Michelin star restaurant; let alone one located in a large city. It's small-town awesomeness. It's a slice of Americana. It's pure nostalgia. You get a good meal, at a decent price. You're not going to get fancy décor and complicated menus. If you want a fine breakfast, you won't be disappointed with Swiss Alps. read more

We had breakfast. I didn't know until I are there that you could mess up eggs over easy. They were served hard. The roesti was nothing to write home about either. Very cold in the restaurant. We won't be going back. read more

I have lived in Monroe since 2009 and I may have eaten breakfast at a restaurant 10 times, but never at Swiss Alps until Friday, 6/17/22. I will definitely be back. The diner is a throwback to another time, with good breakfast and great service. I didn't get the name of our server, but she was amazing. Great smile and my coffee cup was always full. I wish I knew her name. I will be back. read more

We came today for Father's Day, and waited for over an hour for our food. I understand it's busy, but there were people who came after us and got their food within TEN minutes. Sadly, not impressed. read more

Oh my, the 70's are still alive here in them hills. Just an average family looking restaurant from the 70's. I was expecting Flo to come from the kitchen yelling "Kiss my grits"! Hot food looked interesting, so I ordered the club sandwich, actually not bad and washed it down with good brewed tea. Overall it was nice sincere service but made me feel stuck in a time delay. read more

If in west Monroe, Wisconsin, Swiss Alps wouldn't be a bad choice. It's a pretty generic family restaurant, with a wide selection of pretty decent options. Nothing really stands out, but nothing is really that bad. The breakfast selection is generic and plentiful, as is the lunch selection. Coffee is decent, and the servings are large. It's like most family restaurants, in that the prices are pretty low and don't expect anything special. There's also a back section to the restaurant, which can be closed off for a meeting area, or gathering, which is a plus. read more

Service was horrible, the ceiling looks like it might fall in at any moment, and sooooo over priced! Do not go here!

This is one of four local breakfast restaurants I've frequented over the years (the others being Corner Cafe, The Blue Ox, and Red Apple Inn), and I will be comparing The Swiss Alps to these three. First, the food quality. The Swiss Alps has very high quality food. Skillets are excellent, as well as the biscuits and gravy (which boasts homemade sauce). I can't recall ever having cold food delivered, or ever being disappointed; Swiss Alps may be second only to Corner Cafe from a quality standpoint. Compared to the other restaurants this is usually considered the most pricey, but considering the quality of the food I think it's reasonable, but this is something to keep in mind. The building is good, and seems on par with the other breakfast restaurants in the area. It's clean, has good lighting and is a good size with a room in the back for large parties; overall I can't complain. The wait time is on average the best of the four restaurants. We were seated and waited on very quickly, and the food comes out sometimes freakishly fast, yet never with a dip in quality. This speed remains even when the restaurant is full (which is the case on weekends), which is very impressive. The check arrives on time consistently, so if you're ever in a rush, it would be difficult to not recommend The Swiss Alps. Finally the wait staff, who are overall very friendly and talented at their jobs, with one who is a die hard fan of 70's music (no complaints here). The owner seems very friendly, and the restaurant overall has a very positive vibe to it. Overall it's difficult to pick a best breakfast restaurant between this and Corner Cafe, for they each have their own strengths. If you're looking for speed without a dip in quality Swiss Alps seems to have hit a sweet spot. Very recommended. read more
