Canaan was genuinely one of the best employees I've ever interacted with. From the second I pulled in, he was attentive, patient, and on top of every detail. He didn't just complete my order, he made the whole experience feel easy and taken care of. His timing, accuracy, and attitude were honestly impressive. I'd come back to this location purely because of the level of service he showed. Thank you, Canaan, for turning a simple order into something memorable. Employees like you make a huge difference, and I'll 100% be returning because of you.

We had heard a lot about Swenson's but had never tried it. The drive in works pretty easily where someone runs up and gives you a menu. Then you turn your lights on when you are ready to order. I got a double cheeseburger and potato teezers. The food was pretty fast and it was good. I also got a mocha milkshake but it seemed to have melt a bit before I got it

Meh. I've heard from everyone how I absolutely NEED to go to Swensons and it's a local tradition and it's delicious, etc. I think it's average. I've had better, and I've had worse. In fact, I think the most popular fast food burger places (McD's & BK) are better than Swensons. I ordered 2 of the 3 items that were recommended to me by all my local friends. The Galley Boy burger and the Potato Teezers w/ a side of ranch. I skipped on the Grape Milkshake because I wasn't in the mood for anything sweet and I don't need the extra calories! If you're not in the mood for anything sweet, then you should NOT order the Galley Boy burger. It has two different "secret sauces", one of which is a bit tangy and the other is pretty sweet. The bun was good, but the patties were thin. And it was sloppily thrown together. It's a pretty average (to below-average) burger. The sauces just don't really enhance it, they kindof detract from it. I liked the Potato Teasers (they are potatoes, cheese, and chopped mild jalapeños). The ranch was not that great. The Potato Teasers don't really need it, so I would skip if I ever got them again. Honestly, I probably won't go back to Swensons unless someone insists (and pays!) because it's just not that great. I definitely wouldn't get the Galley Boy again, but I would order the Potato Teasers.

Fast and great service. I came for the Sloppy Joe and the fried mushrooms. They both didn't disappoint. I love a good Sloppy Joe and I'm the only one in my family who does. The Sloppy Joe was full of meat and flavor. It was also served fresh and hot which is always a bonus. The fried mushrooms were also tasty. Be careful these will literally burn your mouth with hot mushroom juice. Still delicious. Servers were fast and polite despite having to wear masks.

Cheeseburger w/ everything & Cajun seasonings

I really wasn't impressed with this place. My mom and sister love it, but I've had better. The coney is extra sweet. I love a sweet sauce, but even this was too much for me. The cheeseburger was just ok, I wasn't a fan of the bun, which some people love. The service was good. It was quick. The prices were also very decent. I just wouldn't come out of my way to eat here.

First time visiting this OH classic. I was recommended to visit here after announcing that I was moving to Canton, OH. I checked it out after being in the area for about a week. I had the Galley Boy basket, as recommended by many. I'll admit, I was not all that impressed. It was slightly pricey for what was offered, and the only redeeming quality was the fact that the sauces were so unique. I would eat here again, but it's not going go out of my way to get it (if that counts for anything)

Got a $6 dollar Tuesday chicken sandwich that comes with fries. Got a drink as well and everything…read morewas under $10. Very good chicken sandwich, the sauces we good as well. Ordered at the front and food was brought to us, it was packed at 1pm on Tuesday, and for good reason. I will come back another Tuesday to get their Nashville hot chicken. Very satisfied, and amazing bang for your buck on the discounted day.

The Good: great…read moretasting chicken: Danielle had the chicken & waffles and i had a 4 piece meal w/ fried Brussel sprouts. we both agreed that the chicken was delicious and perfectly fried/crispy. the chicken fingers were also huge. i was worried that 4 chicken fingers wasn't going to be enough to fill me up but i was full by the time I'd eaten 2. each finger was the width of 2 fingers you'd get somewhere else. beverage options: i'm diabetic so i stick to diet/zero sugar sodas or teas. not only did they have diet pepsi, but had diet dr. pepper as well. score! and that cold soda was needed... The Bad (or Bad-ish): Howlin Sauce: incredibly hot/spicy for just a sriracha based sauce. i eat lots of hot and spicy dishes. it wasn't that it tasted bad - in fact, quite the opposite - but it scorched my tongue like nothing has in a while. No Chill (ha): Danielle's chicken and waffles was swimming in syrup so by her waffles were soggy as hell by the time she'd finished. she still loved the meal and just said she'd ask for it on the side next time. Messy: when we arrived, we saw a number of parties leaving one after another. i assume this would be the reason that most of the tables were covered in dirty dishes and empty cups and glasses. since you order at the counter and seat yourself, servers are not around to check on you or the state of the restaurant. so, tables remained messy for a little while before they were cleaned up. Ordering: i don't like the ordering at the counter and lack of server service. the place doesn't look to be set up that way. you'd think there would be servers as it's kinda like a larger bar. instead you order, sit, wait for your food and you're on your own. it's a little like BW3 was back in the day. Slow: seemed to take a long time for chicken fingers. not a huge deal, but i wouldn't have guessed it'd take so long. i don't want to give the impression, though, that it was more bad than good. the food definitely outweighed the negatives. it's a long way from home but i'd go back for sure. i'd like to try some wings and some other sides as well as some of their appetizers.

I'm a Southern California resident visiting family in Ohio. After a long flight, I wanted a bite to…read moreeat and took my sister to Cane's. We love ours back home. 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

It was a Saturday night around 6:45pm, so we expected a wait time. While waiting, we decided to…read morelook at the menu since it was our first time there. The first menu had splashes of food inside, so we traded it out for a different menu - same thing. Eventually we realized that the worker behind the desk was supposed to be cleaning the menus (we took the menus from the clean pile), but she was distracted on her phone instead. The staff seated us fairly quickly - within the allotted wait time. We had plans afterwards, so we placed our order as soon as the waitress came to the table. Our chips and salsa were delicious and were refilled while we waited...and waited...and waited. It was easily over an hour before our food came out. The chicken fajitas were good - nice size portion. They came with a side of rice, sour cream and shredded cheese. They were lacking pico de gallo and shredded lettuce toppings which are pretty standard. Refried beans and/or black beans are usually also served at other Mexican restaurants but were missing here. My husband ordered a chicken dish. He said the taste was fine - not something he would re-order though. Overall Good chips and salsa Fajitas were tasty Restaurant floor was exceptionally sticky Menus were kinda gross Wait time on food was exceptionally long (the restaurant was busy but not every table was filled - which was strange since there was a wait list, but maybe they didn't have the staff available.) With other Mexican restaurant choices available locally, this isn't a restaurant we would revisit.
