    To start this used to be my favorite place to grab a burger. The burgers used to be fantastic(and the patties still are). But this year(2023) every time i have went through I've gotten sub par quality. I wouldn't be leaving this review if it was one off. What do i mean by sub par quality? What I'm referring to is how the prices have went up while the end product (my meal) has progressively gotten worse. 3/3 of my 2023 visits i have received a lesser quality burger then in the recent years. For instance, the most recent time I dined I got the smallest piece of welting lettuce on my burger(+30 cents up-charge for lettuce) and It's not just the lettuce.... I'm leaving this review in the hopes that the new "standard" of quality that the kitchen is producing will be addressed. I'm surely not the only long time costumer who has these feelings.

    Super fast service. Car hop at window before I put the car in park! Nice friendly servers and super good burgers. My hubby must have the Galley Boy! Love their potato teasers. Similar to a tater tot but with cheese and jalapeño bits. Lots of variety of sandwiches , salads and even dinners. Not fancy but great "eat in your car" or take home food! Gotta try 'em!

    Double Cheeseburger bun

    We ordered 2 double cheeseburgers and there buns were burnt. They were very helpful with getting a refund.

    will not go here my quarter pounder was burnt to a crisp my food was cold also missing food

    Burgers are all good. We stop for onion rings and shakes mostly. Try the blueberry milk shake if you get a chance.

The location is on North Main st in North Canton diagonal from the Meijer in North Canton. The parking is around the building with additional parking in the parking lot. When you are ready to order: flip on your lights and their friendly staff will promptly be out to you. One thing to note about Swensons: one method of payment per vehicle. In other words, one check per car. Always check out the seasonal Shakes and sandwich of the month on display around the building. The current seasonal shake flavor is the Oatmeal Cream Pie Shake! I love Oatmeal Cream Pies and was thrilled to try it. It had a unique flavor for sure similar to oatmeal raisin cookies (yes, there are some raisins in the shake too). My go-to burger at Swensons is the double cheeseburg with ketchup and mayo. Always delicious . The fried zucchini is finely sliced, breaded and fried. Don't forget to get a side of ranch for 70 cents! Guess what yall?!? Swensons now has a reward program attached to their regular Swensons app!

Their menu has something for everyone and the locations are always neat and clean.

The following is not what we experience back there. There was an hour wait at the drive thru, which consisted of a line that looped around the building twice! One window was open. No one outside to take preorders to expedite the process. After arriving at the window, we ordered two combos. Mine was a specialty order for the Caniac as I request "naked tenders" and extra hot sauce. Once at the window, we checked on the special request, and they did not have that listed so they handed us drinks and parked us after correcting. No straws for the drinks. We asked for them and requested extra hot sauce for the second time. The attendant grabbed some packets but became frazzled when we asked for straws so she put the hot sauce to the side and gave us straws. We pulled ahead before realizing we didn't get the hot sauce. We waited about 20 minutes parked before we received the wrong order. We called the runner back and requested the right order. There was only one combo (ordered 2), no hot sauce, and a side of three piece chicken. The runner seemed irritated so my sister went in with her. Inside they argued we didn't order two combos until my sister showed them our receipt. We waited longer. Finally the order came with one hot sauce for a 6 piece dinner. There were maybe 10 fries in her combo. I didn't order fries. We also noticed we were charged $1 more for the combo drink bc it was tea, not soda. I'm never charged more in CA, and online it shows a large drink with the combo. No one told us we'd be charged extra. When we saw these mistakes at home combined with our overall experience, we called in. The manager responded with silence and then an "ok" when we addressed our concerns. She was dismissive, no apology of our experience, or any way to promise a better visit next time. Total disregard. I'll stick with my California drive thru in the future.

    Love the chicken, good breading, portions. Easy ordering, easy everything. Love the chickenread more

You will be given the option to eat outside or inside with a number locating where your food will be brought when ready. The OH Chicken Sandwich is delicious, but I won't say it is better or worse than other similar chicken sandwiches other places. The tator tots were crispy and seasoned. The star of the show this visit was the peanut butter chocolate shake was had peanut butter morsels in it.
