    Spicy Mac-Cheesy Burger
    Haleigh P.

    Super friendly and efficient service! I had ordered a large lunch for the office and there were no mistakes. The new Mac and cheese burger was delicious! The milkshakes are also great. Will definitely eat here again.

    Update: Management reached out to me in an email to send me a PDF of my full receipt. They said the cashier used the wrong Point-Of-Sale system that must have been outdated. Very thankful for fixing this! Now I feel like I can return here during my trip and give it another try. Thank you Swensons for having good customer service!

    Double Cheeseburg
    C J.

    Food didn't do what it needed to. I got a double cheese with a shake. The drink was milk no shake served with double hockey pucks. Cold patties, also covered in straight mustard no ketchup. Next time I visit this location if I ever do again I will make sure to check my order immediately.

    Swensons Drive-In located in Dublin outside of Columbus Ohio that my family and I stopped by while in town from Lousiville. We was visiting the nearby leatherlips sculpture around lunch time When I seen there was a Swensons nearby. Despite being from Lousiville I've always heard from Fellow yelpers and Cleveland browns fans online that if your in northern Ohio that you have to try one of these locations. So I finally crossed a visit off my list. This location was pickup only. You pull into a spot and a worker comes Out gives you a menu, takes your order, delivery's your food and collects payment. The setup had the 50s carhop diner vibe being pickup only which I'm personally of a fan of. The Service workers here were outstanding. They were both hustling all over and getting things done. Our gentleman was very helpful For some first timers. I personally went with the burger that makes Thai establishment unique in getting the Galley Boy burger. Which is a cheeseburger with bbq sauce and tartar sauce on it. Sounds strange right? Well it looked and tasted delicious. A very good burger and maybe the best "fast food" burger I've had. I added on the limited addition mint chocolate chip Shake to my order cause I'm a sucker for anything mint chocolate and it was tasty shake. The rest of the family got a chili, some Chicken nuggets, fries and fried mushrooms. They also got shakes of root beer, peanut butter hot fudge, and chocolate. Everyone enjoyed there foods immensely. I tasted the fries and fried mushrooms and both were very good and had nice flavor. Overall a feat experience and now I'm Super jealous we do not have these in Lousiville. I'm not sure if we got lucky with the service or not but the workers were top notch. I've heard the food was great and it did not disappoint. I look Forward to my next opportunity to get a galley boy burger.

    Potato Teezers

    While visiting the area we drove by Swensons and decided to try it out for lunch. Once you park, someone will come out to your vehicle to take your order and deliver your food. The menu is mostly burgers and sides with a few additional options (chicken strip or shrimp dinner, etc) plus milkshakes. I felt like I was at a fancier sonic and the food was definitely a step up in quality. Two of us tried the classic Galley Boy (double cheeseburger with two special sauces) and really enjoyed it. I think once sauce was bbq based and another was sort of like 1000 island. Also tried the onion rings and potato teezers (potato, cheese and jalapeno). The onion rings were good but had a lot of breading, the potato teezers were awesome. Highly recommend. My partner tried the chicken strip dinner with fries and applesauce and enjoyed it. The shakes were also solid too. Service was friendly and fast. Overall I'd recommend trying it out and I'll be back!

    Limited time: caramel apple milkshake
    Brianne C.

    Stopped in to grab dinner and try the limited time caramel apple milkshake. The shake was great - tasted like those caramel covered apple suckers. I always like their potato teezers with the cheese and jalapeño inside and dipping them in ranch. Also ordered a double cheeseburg with ketchup. The reason for losing a star was slow service. It took about 5 minutes for them to come to my car. Then possibly another 15-20 for my meal to come out. I've never waited that long at a Swensons.

    BLT Fries Small Milkshake
    Sallina Y.

    First time trying it while in Ohio and the customer service was AMAZING! On top of the food being AMAZING! I got the BLT (but one of the employee, Evan Lee's, style BLTs) and I'm still savoring just thinking about it. The fries were amazing too! And the birthday shake and the Ohio specialty drink was great! I recommend you try! Cute spot for a casual date too!

    Fries and potato teezers

    I've been to Swensons a few times since they've started popping up around Columbus. I recently took my nephew for a bite to eat after exploring some parks nearby. This location was right around the corner and we figured this was a safe option for dining out since welp, you're actually dining in your car. We pulled in around 1:30 on a Friday afternoon and while the place was obviously experiencing their lunch-time rush, we were easily able to snag a parking spot and get friendly, speedy service from start to finish. I was happy to see every one of their car dashers wearing masks and made sure to put mine one while giving my order. My nephew went with a plain cheese burger and fries while I opted for their fish sandwich and the potato teezers. Everything came out piping hot and in a very timely manner. We ate every bite while watching Ace Ventura Pet Detective. Good 'ol nephew and aunt bonding time. Thanks for a seamless and safe dining experience. We'll be back!

    The seats in your car are the seating ;-) More to the point, no, there is no additional dining area.… Read more

However it is a totally different experience post pandemic. 100% self service from order kiosk, to pick up food and drinks on plastic picnic basket things.

I know the pandemic almost took them out and they seem to have returned to pre pandemic stock prices. A lot of locations have closed too. I was here for an hour over lunchtime and there were 4 total dine in tables. Total of 6 people. One pick up order and just a couple drive thru. We used to come here way more often but with kids the self service is a hassle. I don't think they even have trays. Kind of a sad shell of itself. :(
