If you're in Gallatine near the square do not pass up this gem of a restaurant! We found it on yelp and I can't imagine it being given anything but 5 stars! We had a Red Velvet Oreo Cookie Shake that was divine with a Swaney Burger ( with fried pickles, bacon and provolone) and a BBQ Brisket sandwich covered with deep fried jalapenos- so delicious. Fantastic service, great music and ambiance. Happy hour starts at 3 Definitely coming back! read more

This place is your typical burger and milkshake joint. The burgers are fine and fresh, exactly what you'd expect. There's a good number of weird options but you can also build your own. The fries are supposed to be homemade and tasted pretty fresh. This place is actually known for its milkshakes. Which We did not try this trip, but have in the past and they are big and pretty good. accessibility: there's plenty of room to maneuver in a wheelchair and different seating options including booths and tables. The women's bathroom was spacious and easy to maneuver and had a baby changing table. They're single stall so would be easy for anyone to use; the men's restroom was a little tight to maneuver from a small power chair. read more

Total gem on the square! Stumbled into this spot while visiting friends--and I'm so glad we did. The place has that old-school Americana charm but with a fresh, local twist. Burgers, shakes, and a real sense of place. Turns out, it's right on the historic town square, where this building has been part of the community fabric for decades (you can feel the history in the floors and the friendliness). I love discovering small-town squares, and spots like this are what make them worth the detour. I ordered the Tree-Hugger and was genuinely impressed. Quinoa, black beans, herbs, melty Provolone, basil mayo, and sweet potato fries. It's house-made, hearty, and full of flavor. Next time, I'd skip the sweet potato fries--not because they weren't good, but the burger didn't need them, and with tots on the side, it was turning into a carb parade (no regrets, though--those tots were top-tier). My friends both got The Dean--grilled chicken, provolone, bacon, tomato, and that dreamy herb mayo. No notes, just happy sounds all around the table. Service? Absolutely on point. Super friendly, checked in often, and made sure the coffee never hit half-full. Bonus: we peeked upstairs and checked out the private party space--super cool vibe. Think exposed brick, warm lighting, and just the right mix of vintage and modern. I'd absolutely throw a party there... now I just need an excuse! If you're near the square, do yourself a favor and swing by. It's the kind of place that makes you want to be a regular. read more

Needed to get a bite to eat, and decided to try this place. I was a little nervous cause it wasn't very busy. The hostess saw us come in and quickly came over to greet us with a smile. We were given a comfy booth. I ordered the banana pudding shake, and I loved it. Hubby had the chocolate shake and said it was delicious. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato fries. Hubby had the classic burger and regular fries. The pulled pork had bacon and shoestring fried onions. The sweet, salty, smoky fllaver was impressive. Bacon and onions were crispy, the bun was soft and fresh. I don't understand how our food tasted so fresh, cause it came out so fast. The classic burger was a large Patty and very enjoyable. I'm not sure how I feel about the sweet potato fries. They were dusted with sugar and cinnamon and delicious, but I love a good, old-fashioned, salty, sweet potato fry better. The regular fries were so perfectly fried, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, not a single mini dried fry on the plate. The young ladies working were really working hard. If they weren't restocking, they were wiping down the arcade machine or sweeping. I love seeing a good work ethic in the younger generations. When in Gallatin, I highly recommend, if for no other reason, then the shakes! read more

The service was good. The burgers were phenomenal and the milkshake made the perfect perfection. It's the perfect hamburger shake place if they were closer to my home I would find myself there more than often and probably gaining 25 pounds a week. It's a must stop for a good burger and shake. read more

Swaney Swifts - BBQ burger and fried pickles - American Near Me - Gallatin, Tennessee

Have been here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. Lunch was much better. There was almost nobody there when I had dinner there with my daughter last week. We each ordered a burger and had onion straws as an appetizer. There was no seasoning on the burgers, the onion straws, or the tater tots - I had to douse all of them with salt to get any flavor. 50/50 on whether we will go back at some point. read more

Food was great. Forgot to order the burger with no pink but the flavor was so good we decided to take that one home and freshly ordered another with no pink. Wait staff were responsive. read more

A midsize burger/shake restaurant located in Gallatin, TN. I ordered the Farmhouse Burger just to try something different. Nothing bothers me more than a restaurant that creates overcooked dry burgers and covers it up with a ton of toppings. The burger was not made fresh.That's probably why I usually avoid theme-based items. As far as the other items ordered, the BLT, Fried Pickles, Sweet Potato Fries and Regular Fries were fresh and excellent. The service is great there as they are fast and attentive. I rated it a 4 stars on the quality of the items (less my burger) and the service. I will make a return and get something different.. read more

Stopped by here with some friends and grabbed a quick bite to eat. The service was very good and the food was pretty good too read more

We've heard amazing things and tried to go a couple times, only to be met with long lines. Well, we finally made it early one sunday and got to see what the hype was about! The place is cute with lots of things to look at - my adhd was very happy. The service was fantastic, shout-out to Colson! And the food.... LOVED IT! Their patties just have this rich beefy taste, I don't know how to describe it but it's truly delicious. The fried pickles are very crispy and Swaney sauce is incredible. They have a million flavors for milkshakes... I have nothing to complain about! If you like burgers and shakes - this is a must! read more

We are visiting family in Gallatin and wanted to eat local when our niece recommended Swaney's. I am usually not a burger person but I ordered the Swaney burger without buns and fried pickles. Everything was delicious. Our waitress was very personable and attentive. We appreciate for the restaurant honoring veterans by providing a discount. I urge veterans to support this business. We will be back hopefully soon. read more

Soda shop, burger stop, or just a get together this little spot of nostalgia is nestled in a great downtown Gallatin location that decorates for the holidays. Service was fast but it was a weekday lunchtime. Little noisy but again it was lunch rush and it has old acoustics. It could be a great place to watch the game. If you want to treat yourself try the desserts, I had mine in the form of a root beer float read more

Great burgers, love the diner atmosphere. The staff was attentive and friendly as well.

We stopped by Swaney Swifts around 1pm on a Saturday. Wasn't overly busy and got seated right away. The inside is nicely decorated and has a fun vibe. Our server was incredibly nice but seemed very frazzled and wasn't super great about giving recommendations. But like I said, incredibly kind. The food was decent! We had two burgers and two Bloody Mary's. The bloody's were pretty average but still a good flavor. My husband loved his burger, "The Swaney" and I got "The Southerner", which was tasty. We recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick bite! read more

5 of us visited for dinner on a Thursday around 5pm. Light Crowd, Easy Seating and Parking on the street. Remodel is fresh and true to a Diner Vibe. Attentive and Friendly service. Onion Straws for appetizer were very light , crispy and flavorful. Swaney Sauce for dipping is really good! Classic Burger is prepared well and did not disappoint. Topped off dinner with Ice Cream desserts of course! By 6 a nice size crowd was in the room and Group Trivia added to our enjoyment. read more

Someone recommended me this burger place and me and my family I decided to give it a try, The breakfast burger was DELICIOUS!!, and I got a strawberry milkshake and it was so good! The milkshake was perfect. It wasn't too thick or too thin it was just right! The server was nice and the restaurant was nice and clean and the restaurant has a fun retro theme. The only down side is they charge you 3.00$ for a drink refill.. but overall I had I great experience I will for sure come back! read more

Service was very good. Both people we had dealings with were cheerful & professional. As for the food, hamburger & fries, we both felt was very average. We really expected higher quality than fast food restaurants & were disappointed. Restaurant was clean & inviting. We will try again with different food selection. read more

The food here is phenomenal. Love the farmhouse burger and the Fleetwood Mac and cheese burger. I really like how creative the menu is and the ambiance in the restaurant is pretty cool. Service is friendly and swift (as the name implies). Don't pass up the Swaney soda - it's esp good as an ice cream float. read more

Brought the family here today for lunch. Fried pickles for starters. Boy they're good and they were gone quick too. Then I had a veggie burger vegan style with sweet potato fries. It was delicious after I asked for lettuce and tomatoes to put on it. ‍ I put some fried pickles on it too. Yum yum!! Our server was so sweet and kind. She refilled our drinks and made sure my food was ok for me, since I have food allergies. It's such a fun family place. Kid friendly and friendly kids. The parking can be a challenge but it's worth it. If you have to park down the street it's ok because it gives you a chance to walk and shop local while working your lunch off. read more

Rounding up to a 4 since my family enjoyed it, but would be a 3.5 for me. Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon with hubby, baby and in-laws for lunch. I'm dairy, egg and tree nut free while breastfeeding so didn't have high hopes for anything more than a plain salad or french fries...but was pleasantly surprised with the options! Our waitress was fully familiar with dairy allergen info for their menu and let me know that the buns are dairy free (although not gluten free) and the butter is soy based, so pretty much any burger minus cheese would be safe! By the time you remove the cheese and sauces (may contain egg), though, it only really leaves the classic. The burger was ok; I think their flavoring relies on the cheese, sauces and other toppings because the rest of the family loved their burgers. I also thought the tomato on my burger was a bit over ripe. The fries were great: really crispy on the outside, but soft inside. They also have a number of tasty sounding milkshake and dessert options on the menu that I hope to try when I no longer have dietary restrictions. We all liked the casual atmosphere and my father-in-law especially loved seeing the football games shown on 6 screens around the dining area! (5 TVs and 1 giant projector.) Super convenient location on Gallatin's downtown square so you can pop in for a bite while shopping or short walk from the public library. They also have 3 small tables in front of you want to dine outside. Free street parking on the square or there's a free parking lot about a block away. read more

We had the onion strings, which were delicious as is, and the dipping sauce made it even better! We enjoyed a strawberry shake and a birthday cake shake, both spectacular! Burgers were great all around; I had the Buffalo chicken one and swapped out the fried chicken for grilled; it was delicious, juicy, and the fries are thick and crunchy! Such a wonderful place! Service was quick and friendly and prices were reasonable! read more

We LOVED our experience here. I gave my daughter the choice of staying downtown Nashville & getting BBQ or driving to Gallatin & eating at a cool, old soda shop. She chose the latter and we were so happy with her decision. She enjoyed the Love Me Tenders... thumbs up. I ordered a customized version of The Farmhouse burger (no bun or hash-browns, extra egg, sauce on the side)... it was PERFECT. Eggs & burger cooked to perfection. Our server was very kind and attentive... happy to take on the task of my high-maintenance burger, lol. Thank you for a wonderful experience in Gallatin before heading home to Michigan. Hope to see you again! read more

Worth the visit to try and the downtown area is nice for a short walk. The staff was very nice. It was our first visit. They were out of some popular items and my order was forgotten which meant I ate after everyone else was almost done by the time my burger arrived. I totally understand these things happen and was not upset, however, I can't give a 5 star rating due to these issues. Also, the food was very good, but not the best burger in town by a long shot. So bottom line, fun location, great for families or small groups, food is good and the staff and very nice. read more

Love the food. I enjoyed the ambiance and the service. The burgers are excellent! One thing I will mention is that when this restaurant is busy, the employees will show it. It's asking a lot for a skinny staff to operate a full house so I understood the context but I don't know if others did. Overall, this restaurant is a must try. I loved everything about it! I had the farmhouse burger and I loved it. Not too much of a fan of their style of fries. I would've liked them more crispy. read more

Delivers exactly what it promises. A comfortable local joint with a historic vibe. Server Lizzie was absolutely spectacular. She knew the menu and huge assortment of milkshakes very well. Friendly and helpful ... minor food issue was addressed immediately, without hesitation, making it a non-issue. Shakes are fun flavor choices. Not too strong flavored, and a semi-soft thickness. Easy for straws, and well-blended. We recommend them. Burger was half-pound and a good value. It was definitely well-done, so may need to ask if want less done. Buffalo chicken sandwich is solid and good value frozen fingers well cooked and a really tasty sauce. We want to come back. read more

Great service good atmosphere. Food came out quick burger was pretty good got the Swaney. Disappointed with the $7 strawberry shake... taste artificial like the bright pink color they added to make it look fluorescent. they might use real ice cream but it did not taste like strawberry's all. tasted chemically. Of course I drank it $7 you would too I should've sent it back. I don't know what it was Im a huge strawberry shake fan I gotta just stick to Chick-fil-A no chemical pigment added. read more

Divey-throwback diner type restaurant on the square in Gallatin. The place is nostalgic and plays oldies music and sometimes has a movie playing. Burger and fries type of food, and the floats and sundaes add a nice finishing touch. We ordered the Dean sandwich and the chicken salad sandwich. We both had fries, but mine were sweet potato fries. All of the food was very good. The bread for the sandwiches was toasted, and had a real good flavor which added to the sandwich overall. I would have liked to have tried the desserts, but we were just too full. But another reason to come back again. This is a cool place, and a must stop while in town. A nice alternative to chain restaurants. We'll be back soon! read more

Been to Swaneys twice and had the Chicken Salad Salad and it was excellent. Service was fast and professional.

I brought my girlfriend here, first spot i was showing her in Gallatin. It had been a while since i had been here but man! the food has went downhill. My burger was cold, like extremely cold. It tasted terrible. The milkshakes are still great but it's hard to mess up a milkshake. The time it took to get my food wasn't bad. And i sat outside, so the ambiance was just fine, can't complain about our beautiful square. I don't recommend Swaney Swifts, there's other restaurants around that area that are more bang for your buck. read more
