Photo: SwensonsCheeseburg
The single cheeseburger, “topped with everything” in Swensons’ words, with melted cheese. It is the plain classic behind the famous Galley Boy, and a good choice for a lighter order. Double and triple versions are on the menu for bigger appetites.

About Swensons
Wesley “Pop” Swenson started selling hamburgers out of a station wagon at Akron’s Buchtel High School in 1933, and opened a proper drive-in on South Hawkins Avenue the following year. He sold it in 1949 to Robert Phillips, who began a slow expansion that has only recently reached Columbus, Cincinnati and Indiana.
Drive-ins across northeast and central Ohio, from Akron and Cleveland to Columbus and Cincinnati, plus the Indianapolis area.
