Swiss Alps Restaurant — Restaurant in Monroe

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...

I love this place for breakfast! Their service is above and beyond awesome, prices are very good, and the food is delicious.

I've only ever been here for breakfast and I have always left satisfied. They are amazing at paying attention to their customers. For example, we were greeted immediately upon entering, seated within minutes (if not seconds), and had beverages right away. Food is almost always served very quickly also!

When cashing out, they were so thoughtful and responsive. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant!

Every time, it reminds me of all my favorite memories of going out to breakfast with family 👪 . . . just a lovely atmosphere all around.

I have never had a less than spectacular waitress, but Ashley is who we had today and she was WONDERFUL! Thank...

Starting at the beginning we were seated quite promptly the waitress quickly took our drink orders and returned with our drinks. When it came to the food orders that was a different situation. 3 of us ordered the buffet which was sub par at best. The eggs were overcooked, mushy hashbrowns, sausage gravy had no flavor to it and worst of all the bacon was either severely crispy or barely cooked nothing in between. One of us ordered a simple egg over easy with white toast and hashbrowns and had to wait almost 45 minutes for the food while everyone else in the group ate. The waitress didnt even offer to take anything off of the bill. We most likely will not...
