Cute little place I've kept passing up on my drives to the Akron area. Came here on a slow day, they got a comprehensive menu that's affordable on any budget. Tried a couple of items on their menu, their BLT was amazing! Their dilly dog should of came with a description because I didn't know it had cheese on the dog. Their speciality pumpkin pie shake was really good and all this food for $10 in a time where everything is expensive is great. Very friendly service. It took a while sure but it was worth it!

I've been reading a lot of ~discourse~ about how Swensons has slowly changed for the worse. (Personally, I think the Cuyahoga Falls Ave location has been consistently good, but that's not the point of this review). But Dilly's kept coming up as a superior option. Unfortunately, our experience was a mixed bag. We ordered online and took it home, so I can't really speak to the service. My fiance ordered a double cheeseburger, I had a mushroom cheeseburger, and we split an order of broccoli cheddar bites and the fried veggie sampler. Plus a cherry limonade and a California.My burger was terrible. I almost never give feedback on this level, but it was completely dry and borderline burned. I wouldn't even give them a second chance on this one.The mushrooms and cheese were flavorless. The best thing about this was the bun, and that seems like . . . a problem (but also showcased how Swensons did take a nose dive after forgoing local bakeries for buns). My partner's burger was marginally better, but we both agreed that neither of us would order one here again.The veggie sampler, however, was absolutely fantastic. It featured fried zucchini, cauliflower, onion rings, and mushrooms. The veggies were all flavorful and truly fried to perfection. The broccoli cheddar bites, while maybe a touch too cheesy for my liking, were also quite good. As bad as the burgers were, that's how good the fried veggies were!The California, sadly, was not great. The pebbled/crushed ice is what really makes it, and it just had kind of an "off taste." I actually really dislike the Ohio at Swensons because it tastes like straightup cherry syrup, so I really enjoyed the cherry limonade, which had the citrusy tang to balance out the sweetness.Burgers: 3/10 Fried sides: 9/10Drinks: 7/10I would come back here for those veggies, and there was a range of items on the menu that sounded pretty good. But in a head-to-head burger showdown, there is no competition with the more well-known franchise.

Good little drive in spot. Burgers and dogs were good, sides were good, but the milkshakes were great! A tried peanut butter banana milkshake and it is absolutely a new favorite. I would compare this place to a Swenson's.

I have Dilly's 5s because the service was point on, the food was delicious and inexpensive, and how cool is it to experience a drive up diner style eat in - with window tray and milkshakes. The food out fast and hot. We had a great experience. It was fun to eat in the car and watch drivers come in and out to pick up their orders. Perfect start to our Cuyahoga Valley National Park adventures. Plenary of options for vegetarians and meat eaters. The prices are very low for the quality of food. Can't wait to pick up food for next time!

Fun place with old school vibes. My kids loved it and ask to go back whenever we are nearby.

Food is always good. Burgers are fresh and the Philly cheesesteak is great!! Young people taking orders are always nice. We eat here often and there are many reasons why. Great place.

Great specials - got the Sunday two mushroom cheeseburgers for $5.50. Added sweet potato fries. One free refill on the ice teas. No outside seating, but covered parking still provides shade on one side for late lunch. Going to have to come back and try their Dilly Dog/Burger (now that we know what they are) as well as the chicken bites folks are raving about here. (will also have to try their regular fries). Lastly might as well get a Boston cooler where we can get it (also now we know what it is).Call in your order or order online in advance if you'd like, otherwise the food doesn't take all that long as you relax and maybe have some music on. Visit their website for schedule of specials for the month. If not, you'll get their regular and special menu when you arrive.

The burger was dry and tasteless. The french fries were also dry and they tasted like the oil had been caught on fire. They had a weird smoky taste to them. I was very disappointed as I haven't eaten here in a while and was looking forward to it. Not a good experience today.

Got there at 8:58pmGreat serviceFood was excellent - mushroom burger and chicken sandwiches
