We are never let down when we go to Swensons! This was my first visit to this location. We ordered online and picked up the mobile order. When we pulled in, someone promptly came to the car and they quickly returned with our order. We had double cheeseburgers with various toppings, a fry, and mushrooms. The order was perfect. We added on a last minute “California” soda which is ginger ale and grape flavoring. It was on point and a nice sweet counter to the savory meal. When we got back to our destination, the burger buns were not the crispy usual, however I attribute that to the car ride and not being unwrapped and eaten right away. Service was excellent and food was excellent. We will always come back!

Burgers look liked they were stomped on before given to us. Also, no wax paper? Food was okay, but disappointed in it being flat. Montrose location

What a great place! We went there after a gymnastics meet before we hit the road. We wanted something different than what you can get anywhere. My wife was concerned that it would take forever like some other places that come serve and take your order at the car. It was far from that. The workers literally sprint everywhere. They have a great system for letting them know you are ready to order. This is after they asked you have ever visited them before. They explain the menu and give their opinion one their favorite things. My 12 an 10 yr old daughter loved the shakes “best ever”. The chicken nuggets they had were very good! I had a 2B cheesburg which was very good along w fries that were very good. The only reason the food gets a 4 is my wife said her veggie burger was just ok. Should have gone chicken sandwich. I will say this it was awesome having the option of a veggie burger! The prices were reasonable. Great atmosphere can’t wait to go back when we visit at the end of the season. Great job, Swenson’s!

Ordered three drinks, and 2 appetizers to walk away with nothing but a waste of an HOUR+ of my time. Waited 45 minutes after the app told me my order should’ve been ready 20 minutes ago then checked in on the order. Then about 20 minutes later the transformer blew. A lady came out and took my name and number and told me corporate would call me about a refund and a meal voucher. Then by the end of the conversation she was telling ME to contact corporate. It wasn’t her fault. Complete lack of management and customer service!! I will DEFINITELY not be returning to a Swensons any time soon nor will I recommend any to Swensons!!

Thanks Michael B for the sloppiest sandwich, I ordered the limited time bacon burger and not only was it missing ingredients, there was so much jam in it that it was inedible. I honestly think it was enough for 6 burgers. Thanks for reminding me why I haven’t ate at Swensons in 3 years

Visiting for the area for the holiday and Swensons is a top food stop from my early days of fond memories. Overall, the food was good. Portion seemed smaller, bun was a bit crumbly, and teasers smaller with less jalepeno kick. The drink was a bit watered down but still refreshing. Enjoyed the familiar fast and friendly service!

Been quite some time since I’ve visited this location.. over a year..
Last 2 visits were absolutely horrible!!
1st bad visit.. had both our burgers (dbl cheese with everything, mustard, pickles, onions)
Remade 4 times cause they couldn’t get it right.. was told the manager was making them, so that they were right….
We got tired of sending it back, and went ahead and ate it as it was!
Second trip, (6 months later, so maybe they would have things figured out i told the guy about my previous experience) 3rd remake, I flipped the tray off the car and left..
Why would I ever go back??
I’ve ate at swensons for over 25 years, with not 1 messed up order..
Really, how hard is it to make a burger, as you advertise it?? Was nothing special about it..

One of the better spots to get a galley boy. Service at this location is phenomenal. Kitchen was fast in making my order and a larger takeout order. I’ve heard the salty olive is supposed to be eaten first before taking a bite out of the savory and sweet burger. The burger patty itself has a unique flavor, and the tartar sauce / BBQ mix settles any doubts about its distinct taste. I usually get some potato teasers. PB & Grape shake should replace vanilla and chocolate as the standard shake flavor.

I regularly dine at this location, and I just wanted to say that Kristina is the most outstanding server!! She always greets my friends and I with a stunning smile and attitude, and honestly I love going because of her. Standup gal! She is always super attentive, and the few times we’ve had any issues she fixed them swiftly. 🙂
I also love the location of this particular Swensons. All the other servers are wonderful as well, and the parking lot is always kept super clean. The hours are amazing. I know no matter when I’m craving Swensons I can stop by. They also are constantly adding new menu items, so I’m always trying something new!!
