    a car parked in a garage

    Visiting in town, of course had to see other YELP reviewers had said and check it out. Went there for dinner this past Friday December 2, 2022, and wasn't disappointed. Loved the drive in format, and knowing my dining experience was at a staple in Ohio. This place has been around since 1934, and is well known in Ohio. Fast service, and food was decent, marvelous selection for milkshakes, decent prices.

    Disappointed in the obnoxious wait times to get our food. Our server was kind so that why they get the two stars.

    My raw Swenson burger

    I have given swensons $50 bucks a pop (for a family of 4) for the last time. when I first discovered Swenson, i was a die hard fan! I'm talking once a week with the family fan. I'm talking taking the not exactly up the street drive at night to pick up burgers and shakes for my hubby and kids. Then suddenly there was a decline In quality of the food. It just wasn't right. that delicious triple cheeseburger instead became that nasty soggy burger slathered in mayo and mustard with stale buns and all... I went back several times hoping it was just a unfortunate go at it, you know a bad run, like the new guys still trying to figure it out kinda day, like the usual chef is out and all the rookies are on deck, a fluke, a one off! but quickly that became a two off, then three, four, five and so on. I finally stopped chasing the quality product I'd grown so fund of. Eventually my family and I never went back, it had been an entire year since we'd drove up to this Swenson until tonight. We finally decided to give it another shot and boy let me tell you we will never return again. First off it's Confusing when you order here because when you say you want " everything " on your burger the word "everything" doesn't mean "EVERYTHING". at swensons "everything" only means mustard, mayo onions and pickles . Or something of that sort. So, we carful explained we want "Everthing" plus lettuce and tomatoes deluxe. The food came out without our lettuce and tomatoes we tried so hard to express we wanted, so we asked them to bring it out separately and of course they charged us separately for it. (Shame on them) but not before our server complained to us the would have too " scroll thr a whole i pad just to find lettuce and tomatos" and that the kitchen staff will have an attitude about this. Next, we expressed that we were unsatisfied with the overall sandwiches because like in the past they came dripping in mayo and mustard. But this complaint was ignored and they just brought out a side of lettuce and tomato and proceeded to charge my hubby and I an extra $2. It was laughable, but not the worst part. We got home and bit into red undercooked burgers. Had to re -cook my $50 meal I paid for on my stove at home and I had to re-season our Cajun fries with The cajun in my kitchen cabinet (the stingy's on the seasoning was real). disappointing is saying the least. We will never return to the Swenson of sevenhills.

    How could you not love a greasy burger every now and then with a side of fries. Or a fried bologna sandwich!! Sit in the comfort of your warm car and these poor servers run in and out in any weather!! I hope everyone tips in the sense of hazard pay for these folks. And don't forget the Gold $1 Coins (aka Gift Card) for stocking stuffers. You can get them in a fancy red velvet bag.

    Good good but service was very very slow. Not busy so? The Akron locations seem to be much better at service. Very un Swenson's like!

    Good fast food. Drive up and you stay in your car. They bring your food out to you. I recommend Swensens.

I took my father there on Sunday April 19th at 5pm. Before I get started with the negative, I would like the manager of this location to know that they are very lucky to have Maddy as an employee. Now for the bad: when we walked in, at least four tables were filthy. Three tables had their chairs up like they were getting ready to close and there were three dirty tables in the back. We sat at the only clean table. The employee named Katy should no longer be working there. I don't know how anybody gets paid to be that rude to people. She didn't smile she didn't say hello when I told her I didn't come there often she wasn't helpful. I only ordered two sandwiches and drinks. It was a low maintenance order and she literally made me feel bad for making her take the time to wait on me. It was a horrible customer experience. While I was there, some guy came in who had gone home and come back because he was given the wrong sandwich. I didn't hear her apologize once. I took a picture and it's posted on this website of the overflowing trash area. The picture that I posted doesn't include our trash. I had to put our trash on top of the pile of trash. The place was a mess. I will say there is potential in the employee name Maddy she was super excited about the company and how they keep things fresh. She was excited to talk about the company and seemed proud. To the management, this place needs one heck of a makeover in every sense of the word

Came to Jersey Mike's today at lunch with one of my best buddies I have known over 20 years. The staff was fantastic and the sandwich was outstanding. These are solid old school subs. Not sure why the reviews are not 5 star across the board. I am guessing it is because of people using third party delivery apps, Apple Pay and other dystopian stuff that was created to make our life easier yet results in the opposite. Go in, talk to the staff and enjoy your meal! Five stars no doubt! Don't listen to the haters!

    I am so frustrated. Let me preface this by saying I worked at JMs for years, managed locations and…read moreeven opened new locations in Texas. I know how a sandwich is supposed to be made, the values of the company, and what is expected of its employees. Today fell short on all aspects. I called in my order over the phone and was very clear with what I wanted. The lady over the phone seemed rude and impatient while taking my order. When I arrived it seemed like the rush just finished, I checked my sandwich before I left and it was incorrect. I had to have it remade, in the mean time 5 more people walked in behind me. I felt bad because now I am holding them up when I was trying to save everyone time by calling ahead. I saw how she cut my meat, it was not flowered, it was flat on the sub. When they went to cut the bread they didn't cut it thru so I had to pull it apart which made a mess later. They wrapped it incorrectly as well, the sandwich leaked ALL OVER MY SEAT. I counted the logos on the paper, there are supposed to be 4, I saw 3. Everything is done with intention at JM and the team is supposed to take pride in their work. A rush is not a reason for subpar product. You are paying for a premium sandwich the experience should be as well. I hate to be this "Karen" but if this was my store NONE of this would have happened. I really hope someone reads this and takes it as an opportunity to empower the team to excellence.
