I figure since we're always discussing Tim's vs. other coffees in here, why not ask which is better: Swiss Chalet or Boston Market or some mysetrious third party rotissserie chicken.
I told my wife I'd start a little fire about how much SC pales in comparrison to BM, but who am I kidding. For the environment of the restaurant alone, Swiss Chalet would win. The dipping sauce amkes it an easy winner, but I do like Boston Market's sides: creamed spinach or pumpkin or roasted garlic potatoes.

Havent tried Boston market yet, but I do miss St-hubert in Quebec. In the other hand Buffalo Wild Wings is really good to me and I like the choice of spicy sauce they have, from really mild to extremely hot

the Swiss Chalet sauce is awesome... they used to sell the powder mix at Superstore and it was just as good but the last time we went up to Canada I wanted to buy some to take back with us and I couldn't find it...

You know I like them both. I love Boston Markets Green Crap (as I call it, Spinach or something). And the chicken with gravy is great. Swiss Chalet I like the chicken with the sauce. So they're both totally different to me and I like them both. I just eat Boston Market more now since the closest Swiss Chalet is 1000's of miles away, but when I go visit I always like eating there...

I have to say Boston Market is the better of the two. Though Swiss Chalet has a really good chocolate cheese cake. So good that even Danielle likes it. Cheese cake is one of the foods she doesn't like, but unlike those foods she doesn't like, I was able to convince her to try it. What ya know? She likes it!

I miss the sauce too...or as my husband calls it, "spicy ketchup"

I'm pretty sure we bought a bulk pack at Costco once...I'll have a look for it when I'm up there next month. Have to make a Costco run for all the goodies!

I actually prefer Boston Market's chicken to Swiss Chalet's chicken - and the side dishes are really good too. That being said, I prefer the variety at Swiss Chalet and the ambiance is definitely better. Like WarLord - I will make do with Boston Market as the closet Swiss Chalet is nearly 1000 miles away from me too:-).

I have not yet been to Boston Market but I will definitely have to try it sometime soon... I have never really liked the dipping sauce anyways at Swiss Chalet... The rolls are really yummy there (My Mom tells me that they used to serve hamburger buns for rolls.... At least they improved!)

Swiss Chalet ribs!

Ughhh Swiss Chick.. I used to like it but then they changed the bun to that thing that tastes like a bar of soap. But I cant find decent fried chicken here. Its all dripping in grease. I will have to try Boston market but its so busy, noisy, and dirty. We eat in a lot more here.

I've only been to one Boston Market and that was up in Ontario, so all I can say for it is it is waaaaaaaaaaaaay overpriced! We don't have one anywhere near us here in NC.
I never did much like Swiss Chalet chicken, but I miss the ribs!
I also miss St. Hubert. We used to have one down the road from where I lived in North York. Did they close all the Ontario ones?
