Ramsey used this restaurant for almost all it’s little league baseball awards ceremonies in the 60’s.
It was a beautiful restaurant with entertainment and great food. RHS would also hold their sports awards dinners there. The Pfuhl Family ran a very popular restaurant.
I remember it well. This was the place to go after our high school proms.
Don Bosco had all their sports awards dinners there.
have great memories going out to dinner as a family growing up in Ramsey; charming outside too;)
My family spent many times having lunch and dinner at the Swiss Chalet. I still miss it.
I worked as an RN in St. Vincent’s, NYC. My Parents lived in Yonkers. For many years we drove out to the the country for Thanksgiving dinner at the Swiss Chalet in Ramsey. I have many fond memories! Now, I live in Suffern and wish it was still there! Happy Thanksgiving to all.

The Swiss Chalet was the host of many Ramsey Baseball Association dinners in the late 1950’s and 1960’s and perhaps beyond. Several notable players from the New York Yankees attended. Yogi Berra, Elston Howard, Moose Skowron to name a few. Also Larry Doby attended in 1958 or 1959. Jonny Kucks also from the Yankees. I was in Ramsey a couple of weeks ago and was sorry to see it gone.
I believe this became Jimmy Reed’s which held teen dancing nights in the eighties and early nineties!

In the 1940’s my uncle, Larry Kendall played the sax in t he band there. I also remember a band member named Cliff or Cliffy. My father Ed Kendall may have played the banjo at times. Anyone else remember this?

My parents had their wedding reception at the Swiss Chalet, 80 years ago today, January 9, 1937. Then a long drive to The Senator Hotel in Atlantic City (no Garden State Parkway back then) for the honeymoon!
As I recall, my Dad would by a Toblerone chocolate bar when we visited for dinner. He also purchased beer steins from the Swiss Chalet for his collection. My Mom cut a piece off one of the restaurant’s spider plants in the late 50’s or early 60’s. I still have a few spider plants from that clipping.
I remember this place well. I recall when it converted to Jimmy Reeds. It was a great spot for a young boy to really get his fingers very sticky.
