A bigger single burger: a quarter-pound fresh-ground patty topped with everything, meaning mustard, dill pickles and onions. Where the regular Hamburg is a snack, this is a meal, and it shows off the made-to-order patty better than the thin doubles. A double version, with two quarter-pound patties, is also on the board.

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.
