Yelp.com Review - by Jim C.

5.0 of 5 stars. When my fiancA�e visited family in OH, she FedEx six double cheeseburgs with fried mushrooms (she's a keeper). Fer-real. It is that good. Proud to be a 2nd generation, lifetime customer.

5.0 of 5 stars. You can't go wrong with Swenson's! I have a list of places I *must* visit every time I am in Akron or I go through extreme withdrawal and Swenson's is on the top of this list. When I'm there I order a...

5.0 of 5 stars. Delicious! Any season, Swenson's is the place to go! Call in your order, and it will be ready, or pull up and take your time. Fun drive-in atmosphere (and hot guys sometimes!) and delicious...

3.0 of 5 stars. Swensons is your typical American drive-in restaurant. They serve good food at a good price. The servers are always on their toes and I am always impressed at how quickly they move.That said, the...

3.0 of 5 stars. So after yelping things to do/see/eat in and around Akron during the six weeks I spent there this fall for work, I didn't find a whole lot... but Swenson's name seemed to stick out so during my last...

5.0 of 5 stars. When I went to Kent State I would eat at Swensons in Stow. Best fast food style hamburgers around. I heard that the secret ingredient is brown sugar in the ground beef. It explains the sweet taste....

5.0 of 5 stars. I am fortunate enough to live down the street from this fabulous establishment (although my cholesterol probably isn't). There is no place, NO PLACE, with better burgers than Swenson's. Simply...

4.0 of 5 stars. OK...so I grew up on the west coast and I am a loyal in n out fan. My friends from OH think that Swensons is better..even though I disagree, Swensons is still an awesome place to get burgers out in...

5.0 of 5 stars. I completely forgot about this place. I used to send people to grab me "Galley Burgers" when I worked in Stow. Now that I live in Toledo - I crave these.

Yelp.com Review - by Rob P.

5.0 of 5 stars. I have to admit it; I am hip on hamburgers...cheeseburgers to be exact. Maybe it is from growing up in the mid-west, maybe it is the fact that being from Ohio, hamburger is a major food stable, or...

Yelp.com Review - by Michael P.

5.0 of 5 stars. Swenson's is probably my favorite fast food joint, head and shoulders above the closest equivalents here in CA (In N Out, Fatburger, etc.).I had the Galley Boy, Potato Teezers, and Blueberry...

Yelp.com Review - by Grace T.

5.0 of 5 stars. Why can't Swenson's expand to the west coast? In-N-Out has a lot of fans, I know, but it is NOT Swenson's. Everytime I visit Akron, gotta stop at Swenson's for a cheeseburger and PB milkshake. The...

Yelp.com Review - by Pickle O.

4.0 of 5 stars. The Galley Boy is a heart-attack waiting to happen, and so worth it. It is a bit sloppy, but the taste is wonderful, weird mix between bbq and mild tartar. Yum! Oh and the shakes and malts are good...

5.0 of 5 stars. This is so cool. Awesomely old school. Running car-hops, crazy "flash the headlights" communication system, good burgers and GREAT fried zucchini. The milkshakes are good and the weirder beverages...

5.0 of 5 stars. I have no idea how I could ever put into words how much I love, love, love Swensons. This is what a drive-in should be. Turn on your headlights for service and in no time, someone will come RUNNING...

Yelp.com Review - by Jason C.

4.0 of 5 stars. If you want a delicious, greasy, fast burger, this is the place. Forget Burger King, Wendys or Mcdonalds. This is not health food, and this is not a pub burger...it's a slab of meat with a bun &...

Great Food

The food at Swenson's is some of the best food in the Akron area. I have been eating there once a week for well over a year now. Not only is the food delicious, but it is affordable as well. Swenson's has...

The Best. Period.

Swenson's has the best cheeseburgers anywhere hands down. I don't know what they put in them to make them so good. They have been around in the Akron area for decades. It is worth the trip if you are not...
