Swensons Drive-In

Swenson's is a drive-in establishment that I swung by at in Cleveland this summer. The idea is that you drive up, then the friendly staff come to the window and take orders. There is no seating inside. Swenson's staff are charming, quick (not abrupt) and unlike the big burger-vendors (ie Burger King); are well trained and polite.The server that I happened to come by, was exceptionally friendly and quick to step! The burger seen in photos was hot, fat and solid. The bread delicious. The cheese was melted nicely. Burgers are a good money value and are cooked to your order.The mushroom balls (photo) were delectable, and are not found often on menus. I enjoy them, as I pick mushrooms. Fresh made milk shakes at Swenson's are IN-sanely well made and I highly recommend them. Just thick enough to get through the straw. Perfect and lit-up classic road side attraction in all respects. Do not change a thing. Yum!Review: 5

Swenson's is always a solid, slightly elevated, fast food place. I love that I don't have to worry about them telling me their ice cream machine is broken or that they are only taking cash. I usually get the garden burger even though I eat meat. It's one of my favorite veggie patties and it works so well with the BBQ sauce they put on it.The service at this location is always fast and friendly. These young people are really hustling in and out of the building so I'm always happy to leave a tip. I also love their seasonal milkshakes. The summer one right now is strawberry shortcake, which was very good. Can't wait for the carmel apple to come back in the fall.

Every time I've been here, it's been a great experience. You pull up to the building and leave your headlights on. A server comes out and takes your order. And before you know it, they return with some hot, fresh food.I highly recommend their onion rings. For my vegetarians out there, they make an excellent veggie burger. Everything I've tried on the menu so far has been tasty. Pro Tip: Ask for additional trays per people in your car. And extra napkins. Overall, this location has friendly staff and prompt service. Give them a try!

Swenson's is an Ohio fast food staple. It's been years since I've eaten it. I ordered the signature Galley Boy burger and jalapeño poppers. The burger was so good. Honestly, if they expanded to be more of a National brand, I think their burgers could easily compete with Shake Shack and Five Guys. I also recommend trying any of their milkshakes!

Employees are super friendly and prompt. ( Devin and Kavon ) Food came out hot and as asked for .they were fast too ! First time ever eating here and never heard of this place . It's like a sonic , they have 18 different milkshakes . My husband got the pumpkin spice , duh ... it's October . I had a chicken sandwich and onion rings . I'd eat here again if I was in the Cleveland area .

My brother, who was a huge Swenson's fan and never missed getting a meal there when he was in Ohio, passed away this morning. My husband and I decided to go to our local Swenson's in his honor. When manager, AJ, heard my story, he gave us our meals for free! What a kind gesture at a difficult time. Swenson's fan for life!

The baseline of drive in burgers, but a great baseline. It was a cool set up as you stay in the car and they come to the car (no microphone stands or menus) the potato cheesy things were an interesting twist of a side, and the sauce on the Swenson was good, but nothing I'd go outta my way for ... especially cuz they are very small!

I've being going here occasionally since the location in Willoughby opened. One order they had forgotten an item, and were nice enough to replace it my next visit. Well ran from both a managerial and employee standpoint, and the food is delicious!

Wonderful service! Dohntae managed our large family's order with ease, which is not an easy feat! ;) We enjoyed our food, and appreciated all the recommendations for what to try out.

Burnt tf out of the squads burgers, never in my life have I had a burger with a crunch. Took about 35 minutes for 5 burgers to come out. Don't recommend this location
