Shoutout to [Swensons Stow, Oh] for giving me the stickiest ride of my life. Car detailing appointment booked! Worker with Australian accent This shake was so powerful it redecorated my car’s interior. Only brought me a small handful of napkins to clean up the mess. Didn’t even make a new milkshake. Left me with the one that was all sticky.

Totally retro!

Loved it!!! Food was great but service was even better ! KATELIN, KATELIN, KATELIN!!!! We shall return!

This is such a fun place to visit. It is an old fashioned car hop similar to a Sonic.

They have very unique food such as fried zucchini, a galley boy, sloppy joes and fried bologna sandwiches. Not typical stuff you would find at a restaurant. Their galley boy burger has a BBQ and tarter sauce type sauce and is acclaimed to be voted the best burger in the nation. I did not care for the sauces on the burger but the actual burger was wonderful. Both of my kids loved the sauces on the burger though so perhaps it's just personal preference. Sides are around $3 and burgers are around $7. Pretty reasonable.

They also have a vast menu of milkshakes (unique flavors) and typical soda floats.

We just had our first experience at Swenson's, and it was fantastic! From the moment we pulled in, we were impressed by the quick and efficient service. El, our server, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They were incredibly kind, friendly, and super fast with everything we needed.

The food was absolutely delicious and everything arrived hot and fresh. El made sure we had everything we needed and truly elevated the whole experience with their exceptional service.

If you're looking for a place with great food and even better service, Swenson's is a must-try. We'll definitely be back! Thank you, El, for making our first visit so memorable!

went to Swensons on Madison road in Cincinnati ohio. We had been meaning to try this since it open. We were a little disappointed in the serving size of the fries, Double cheese burger, and Fried bologna sandwich. Taste wise it was great. Service was fast and friendly. I'd recommend to anyone but I'd definitely recommend to double your order if you want enough to eat.

I did an online order tonight at the Fairlawn location. I waited and waited and finally turned my lights back on to inquire about my food. They accidentally gave my bag to another car! I had four guys come out to apologize and they hurried up and remade my food. The manager even came out to apologize. It was great customer service and my food was perfect and delicious! I commend them for being honest, apologizing and fixing the issue quickly. Thank you so much!!!!!

I came here excited and I left disappointed. My turkey burger was cold and totally raw. I replaced it with a regular burger and it was paper thin. I asked for a straw with three different people and never got one. So sorry that this was not up to my expectations.

Went to order food to go today at the S Hawkins location, 3 sandwiches 2 sides and was told it was going to be 20 mins. We waited 75 mins and no food brought to us and no one came back to my vehicle to update us on what was going on. At least 5-6 guys working the lot and less than 20 cars in and out in the 1.5 hours we were parked there. Unacceptable. We had to leave with No food.

EXTREAMLY DISAPPOINTED! The only thing I ordered was a chill. I took one bite and it was like eating a bowl of sugar, even with onions. As a diabetic I have to stay on high protein. I took one bite and instantly knew it was a NO because it was LOADED with sugar. First time customers and the manager would not remove it off my bill nor correct it.

The food is low-key not very good, but I like the milkshakes. If the food was better I'd come here all the time
