Fantastic little drive up the service was excellent the banana milkshake was one of the best in Cuyahoga Falls in the hamburgers or to die for one good five-star restaurant read more

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! read more

Dilly's Drive In - a sign for dilly's drive - thru - Fast Food Near Me - Peninsula, Ohio

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! read more

See all

Everything was excellent! The food was great the service was excellent and everything was wonderful!! Would recommend this to everyone!! Come to Dilly's and enjoy the atmosphere the food and the service!! A wonderful treat for something great to eat!! ~ Betty Jean Durst~ read more

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: 9/10 Drinks: 7/10 I 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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Ended up at Dilly's after The Wine Mill unceremoniously refused to seat us at one of the twenty empty tables because we didn't have reservations. Their big "welcome, we are open" sign outside says nothing about reservations! But I digress.... This is a good place to get some quick eats! Very similar to Swensons, order and eat in your car. The burgers were well cooked. I passed on the Dilly burger because tartar is one of the sauces... glad I asked! We both got double cheeseburgers with ketchup. The fries are crispy. Great shakes - some of the best around! I will definitely stop here again when I'm in the area and need a quick meal. read more

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. read more

Got there at 8:58pm Great service Food was excellent - mushroom burger and chicken sandwiches read more

Had lunch at Dilly's today for the first time and it was very good. Had the Mushroom Cheeseburger, fried mushrooms, and a California (grape drink with sprite or ginger ale) and my companion (English Bulldog) enjoyed her hamburger. If you haven't given this a try yet-please check them out! read more

Dilly's Drive In - Bulldog that enjoys Dilly Burger - Single - Fast Food Near Me - Peninsula, Ohio

Cheap, fast and did I mention cheap? This place is great, you sit in your car, turns headlights on for service and someone takes your order at your window. Servers seem to be high-school aged.. they are fast, but they oftentimes forget simple things. I had to keep calling them over for extra napkins and condiments, because they would only bring out half of what I needed. Otherwise, the food was exceptional. I got a TRIPLE cheeseburger (don't judge) for $4! I highly recommend. read more

Dilly's Drive In - Fast Food Near Me - Peninsula, Ohio

One of the most underrated spots in the area! Following the Swensons/Skyway regional drive in style, Dilly's offers a more expansive menu. Their burger is larger in size, the chicken bites are amazing, and their onion rings are far superior to Swensons. It's surprisingly never packed during the pandemic. Get your Dilly's on, Akron! read more

Food was not very good. Not sure what kind of cheese is used for the burgers but it looked like fake spray cheese Mushroom burger -barely any mushrooms to call it one and asked to add onions....no onion on my burger Fish dinner was ok for flavor but needed to be cooked crispier. Overall very disappointed with the State Road location and will not go back read more

Simply put, for the money Dilly's has the best burgers in town. Their milkshakes are outstanding. The servers are friendly. I've stopped to grab food to go several times since Dilly's opened on State Rd. The food and service are consistently head and shoulders above the other fast food restaurants in the area. Support local independent businesses! read more

I stopped in here before a concert. I was really hoping for diner like drive in fast food. But that's not really what i got. The service was great. Very friendly and helpful. As well as quick. The menu is well rounded and has a good variety. The prices are extremely low. But honestly I don't find that to be a good thing. We ordered the Thursday special of 12 boneless wings. An order of onion rings and a double cheese burger. The boneless chicken wings looked good but were so deceiving. The inside didn't resemble chicken. These are like the low quality chicken nuggets in the freezer section of the grocery store. The onion rings were honestly the same. The burger was good. I love the vibe of this place. Love the service. But I would rather pay more for better quality than to pay less for poor quality. That's just how i feel about it. read more

A few years ago my cousin told me of a burger drive-in that is better than Swenson's. I was extremely skeptical, but decided to try it. Man!!!! I was blown away. It was the best burger I had ever had in my entire life. Ever since then, I have taken all of my friends and have proved to them just how incredible Dilly's really is. I live half an hour away, but I make the trip to Dilly's because I have never had anything short of a great experience there. I always get two mushrooms cheeseburgers with mayo, it is still the best burger on planet earth for me. All of the employees are super nice and speedy. Steve in particular, whom I think is the owner, is extremely kind and is always smiling. I cannot recommend Dilly's enough! read more

I grew up eating both Swensons and Dilly's and I love both. Everyone raves about Swensons but - to be honest - Dilly's has long been my favorite. Their burgers are actually a bit larger and less sloppy to eat. Prices are a bit lower as well. I was thrilled when they opened the 2nd location on State Road, Yay! Fast, hot, super cheap and delicious... what more could anyone ask for? read more

Service was fast and friendly. Typical drive up burger place. Food was as expected. Kids enjoyed it. Had Dilly Burgers, double cheese burgers and regular cheese burgers, fries, tater tots, peanut butter milk shake and cherry lemonade. read more

Good, pretty fast, and very friendly. Got the fries and double cheeseburger. Will definitely be back.

Boyfriend works across the street at State 8 we eat here sometimes, especially with the pandemic it's quick food that is easy to to eat picnic style. Car hops are always friend. Strawberry milk shakes are yummy. Also try the California my boyfriend lives for it. Food is good never have complaints. They just need to remember ketchup with fries :) read more

Went here for the first time last night and was very impressed. Nice alternative to Swenson's, with a unique, diverse, and lengthy menu that has something for everyone. Very clean and new facility with parking for about two dozen cars, and easy to get in and out of the lot. The food we ordered (steak sandwich, nuggets, fries, and medium drinks) were a generous size, nice and hot, and very tasty. The service was great - very quick to greet us, gave us a menu, asked if we had any questions, and our food was out in what felt like a reasonable amount of time. The carhop also stopped back to see how the food was. An overall very positive experience and I would encourage anyone who enjoys the drive-in experience or is curious about Dilly's to give then read more

I'm not sure about all of these reviews that say their food is better than Swenson's, because in my opinion Swenson's is 100x better. Burger tastes like cheap, rubbery meat. Marinara for cheese sticks was cold and didn't taste good. The fries were the only thing we ate that we would say is better than Swenson's. All of their food was pretty bland and I wouldn't say there was anything special about their food. Service was good and employees were friendly. read more

Went to Delly's for the first time to try them out. Absolutely fantastic double cheeseburger strawberry milkshake and fries done to perfection. I also saw my wonderful niece Lindsey working there. I would highly recommend Dilly's for your next dining adventure. read more

Awesome burgers. Super thin patties with great bite and cheese. Even without the bun(not being able to do gluten) it was really awesome

My husband and I tried Dillys a few weeks back. I called ahead to order and my order was ready when I got there. I will say I was slightly disappointed with some of the items. The menu mentioned jumbo mozzarella sticks, and they were nothing of the sort. Still get a decent sized portion but menu description was deceiving. Burger and fries were good...nothing special. read more

This is not a very good food spot. John the server was fantastic but quite frankly that's about it. The burger was mediocre... drive 5 minutes down the street and go to the golden arches and get a mcdouble you'll thank me later. The cheddar munchers were pretty solid. The chili cheese fries i have been burping up for hours and regret ordering them just as much as my toilet will later on. I recommend stopping for a milkshake but nothing else is worth it. The bun on my burger could've gone toe to toe with muhammad ali and the french fries had about as my taste as my 12th grade english teacher. Overall rating 5.2 but there's a 10/10 chance you'll leave with s case of the bubble guts. read more

We've had Dilly's quite a few times and it just keeps getting better! Their burgers are fantastic! My husband also loves their Orange Shake. I definitely recommend Dilly's and have to say I think it's better than Swensons! read more

I've been to Dilly's several times because the Cuyahoga Falls location is near my home. I've always thought it was good but sort of had the impression that is was just a rip-off of Swenson's. Today I visited the new Swenson's on Cedar Rd and it was awful. Had the Gally Boy and it was dry and flavorless. I now realize that Dilly's is far better. Maybe Swenson's just stopped trying and Dilly's tries very hard? I hope the owner of Dilly's works on his marketing and advertising because so many people don't even know they are in town. The food is much better than the competition!! Keep up the good work and to all the Dilly's fans, SPREAD THE WORD!! read more

We had a wide array of items from Dilly's tonight, and I have to say that their burgers are their strength here - very Swensons-like, buttery bun, velveeta type cheese and a sweetness coming from somewhere ( bun?, burger patty?). They really serve an exceptional burger. The other items were just a little off the mark. The chili dog had a great chili sauce, but was ladled over a sad, average dog. The fries are bigger and meaty and just my style, but they had NO salt, so my favorite fry-sneaking routine on the way home with the food was just blah. The tartar sauce on the fish sandwich had a very powerful flavor of pickling spice that took away from an otherwise okay sandwich. I give them four stars for their burger prowess, the fact that the restaurant and menu is nostalgic and fun, and the service is outstanding. read more

I called Dilly's at 5:58 p.m. on Wednesday February 3rd to place an order, a young lady answered the phone to take my order. I gave her my order, 6 double cheeseburgers, 5 milk shakes, 1 BLT, 1 Shrimp Dinner + Applesauce, 1 Chicken Tender Dinner + Applesauce, 3 Onion Rings, 3 French Fries Totaling $67.35. I asked her to read the order back to me and she did, I then for triple redundancy read it back to her. I asked when the order would be ready and she stated 15-20 minutes, I said thank you. I sent my children to pickup the order with the list of food and the total, they arrived at 6:20. At about 6:22 a girl came out and the children stated they were there for pickup. They gave her our name and she went inside and came back out and stated we had to pay for the order first before it was made. WHAT, why Call Ahead Ordering Then? They paid at 6:25 p.m. and our order was ready at 6:45 p.m., 25 minutes late, remember it should have been ready by 6:20. The order total was $78.65 which was $11.30 more than it was supposed to be, my children didn't catch this mistake as they assumed everything was the way it was supposed to be. I called Dilly's and spoke to the girl on the phone to let he know she over charged me $11.30, she asked "Exactly, what did I overcharge you on". I giggled and said, "I have know Idea as your receipt is not itemized" I went over the order, I went over the pricing with her, in the background I heard "Don't let them lie to you, they always try to lie". He picked up the phone and right away stated my parking lot is full, I do not have time for this, what can I do for you. I will not bother writing in detail about the next 5 minutes beratement from the Dilly's Manager as it was brutalizing. The customer service from Dilly's was hands down the worst service I have ever received in my life and I have travelled over 30 countries and eaten in some seriously questionable places. We later found out that they gave us 2 extra cheeseburgers which would have made up for an extra $5.50, the girl who took the order was incompetent as so was the manager. We hardly ever stoop to fast food, but we were hoping Dilly's would be a higher-class fast food. Well, the service was so bad I gave the entire order to our dogs and took the family out to a restaurant. What we learned about Dilly's fast food establishment is don't expect much as this facility is run by careless teenagers who claim to own the place. It's not about the $78.65, it's about the 1 hour of wasted time and the out of control ridiculously poor customer service. I am all about promoting local business but not this one, maybe this is why the parking lot is always Empty. read more

did not know this location existed until recently - have been to the one in Akron a couple times previously - this location is in a nicer location & does not look as run down (although the food at the other never disappointed) - opted for the steak sandwich this time (mom had one too - this was her mother's day treat lol) + husband had the foot long dog .. we split onion rings & fried pickles & were totally full & satisfied .. the young lady that waited on us was very friendly & efficient .. the husband & I indulged in the Cherry Lymon which as usual was delicious .. we will return to either location but I do have to say the atmosphere at this one is a little better read more
