Another great experience at Swensons. Our out of town relatives always request to eat there every time they visit. Went there yesterday and could not be more pleased with the food or service.

Jeremy Beck

Classic American drive-in with great burgers and shakes and the quickest service I've ever seen. Pull up to a parking spot , turn on your lights, and watch as waiters dash to your car full speed ahead.

Galley Boy, Potato Teezers, California (grape + ginger ale )... What more do you need? This is classic Akron.

Galley Boy with bacon and onion , fries (crispy ), potato teasers with ranch, and a chocolate shake will blow your mind!

No doubt the best burger in the Akron area! The galley boy is amazingly unique and delicious!

If you've never had a Galley Boy, you must not have been born here.... Do yourself a favor & partake in the best America has to offer.

Galley Boy and Potato Teasers !!

A.j. Miner

Barf, no bueno. Tastes like a frozen unseasoned beef patty from GFS. Go to Cleveland and get a Brown Bag or a B-Spot. The Drive-in theme makes no sense. Why are they running?

Mike Mollica

Galley Boy, onion rings , and a California. Done.

Kassy O
