| - I have been going to Skyway for a couple of years. I absolutely love it. I recently went on a diet and allowed myself one bad meal a month and this was this month's choice. I was craving it so bad, I read all of these reviews in excitement. I noticed all of the Skyway/Swenson's comparisons. I myself have had Swenson's some time ago and forgot what that tasted like, so I went today and tried both.
I went to Skyway first. It was amazing as usual. I ordered the ultimate burger combo and had half of a Sky-hi burger. The ultimate burger comes with a 3/4 lb burger with a lot of cheese, bacon, lettuce tomato and mayo, fries and a 32 oz drink for a very good price. I got a Florida drink and my girl friend got the California. Both amazing. I always get the ultimate burger. It is the best burger I have ever had for the price. It is loaded with cheese, bacon and has the sweet brown sugar taste that Skyway burgers have. I LOVE IT. I also got their hot dog. It is very good as well. They use the Nathan's type of hot dog. The snappy casing dog. Those are much better than a cheep hot dog.
At Swenson's I got the galley boy, fries and the tator teasers. I got these items because I saw the many complaints about Skyway's fries in this and I wanted to compare the tator teasers.
Now, to everyone who is comparing Skyway to Swenson's for the Sky-hi and Galley Boy sandwiches. Both are fair comparisons. They are VERY similar. To be honest though, both are not very good. They are loaded with thousand island and it is all you can taste. I had half of each burger and I could barely eat that. It completely takes away the brown sugar, buttery bun, and cheese taste. I give those burgers a 2 out of 10. If I had to pick one it would be Skyway's. There sandwich was larger and had a little less thousand island dressing, allowing me to taste everything a bit more.
For the fries. Both restaurants have the exact same fries or at least they looked and tasted like it. Swenson's fries came out without any salt at all on them, but salt packets. Skyway's came with salt on them. Both were crispy and fresh/hot. This one is a tie. They both suck and need some type of seasoning or different fry.
I have had the tator tweasers(or whatever they are called) from Skyway many times and really like them. That is why I tried them from Swensons. Swensons came with less than Skyway, but Swenson's tator tweasers were over-all better. They had a bit more of a kick to them and had a better texture.
Now the main point behind this review. From looking at Swenson's menu, the Galley Boy is there top burger. That is not the case with Skyway. Their top dog is what I always get. The ultimate burger. It is amazing and huge. It really fills you up.
I always have very fast service and short waits for food at Skyway and the food always comes out fresh, even too hot for me to eat sometimes until it cools down.
