| - Look, I'm gonna say it: I don't love Swenson's as much as a native Northeast Ohioan is probably supposed to. I have great memories of going to it as a kid with my dad - hot dog & a hot fudge sundae, every Wednesday after dances classes - & I definitely love the experience & nostalgia of grabbing a meal here every once in awhile. But the food? Doesn't bowl me over.
I didn't eat my first hamburger until I was 26, just because I always thought they were going to be gross (did I just blow my reviewing credibility?), so when I finally decided it was time, I knew my first had to come from Swenson's. It was the right choice for a cheeseburger newbie because the meat is so sweet & pounded thin - definitely an uncommon burger taste. That first time, I liked it but didn't LOVE it, & now that I'm a cheeseburger regular, it turns out that I still feel the same. Something about Swenson's burgers just doesn't wow me like they do everyone else.
I love the potato teezers, & I'm a big fan of their malts, but if I want a good burger, I'm headed to BurgerFi in the Falls. Sorry, Swenson's. Can I keep my Akronite card after writing this review?
