"URGENT...Update an employee said her tablet did not work took card inside to run it and gave herself a $5 tip... Service rating changed to 1 star Excellent experience The Galley Boy is tasty The onion rings are Crispy and not overly sweet. Double Hamburg hits the spot and their hamburger buns are soft but not dense. Wash it all down with a large California Grape... and your gonna want a large cause it's soooo good! Fried mushrooms Yes Please Looks like they are on summer hours right now so open late. Perfect I can get snack after work! 4th visit 8-17-23 got the wrong order they took cate of it! 5th visit 8-23-23 don't really care for a ton of cheese so ordered a triple Hamburg as I was very hungry... order slip reflected my order however it was covered in cheese! "Pic with receipt attached" If this keeps up I might just get the onion rings and a drink. Because truthfully... 1st visit my wife's burger was wrong 3rd 4th and 5th visit burger wrong... but the 5th visit it was just the whole order wrong soooo... Foods still good but I don't wanna come home and scrape cheese off my burger. 12-8-23 update Emphasized no cheese and finally got our burgers no cheese... Onion rings are on point as usual The double hamburgers where super sweet though... almost tasted like a burger on a donut. Something in the burger seasoning must be sweet and boy did they use too much... the burgers have always had a sweetness but this time it was like they dipped the burger in corn syrup. So In the future I'm going to ask about why they are sooooo sweet and try to Omit whatever it is. 12-11-23 DANGEROUS PROBLEM!!!!!!! So it's now Monday and my credit card company was like did you give a 32%tip here.. $5 on 12-8-23 The girl when trying to pay Said her tablet wasn't working and said she had to run it inside.... what she actually did was gave herself a $5 tip without asking."
"We heard so much about this fantastic new restaurant. It was a big let down. The food was mediocre. Didn't like the flavor of the ketchup. The shakes were okay. The lemon one didn't have a whole lot of lemon flavor."
"It was ok, nothing that I need to rush back to. The fries to me seems like they been recooked multiple times. The Fried mushrooms were fresh out the fryer. The Caramel Sundae looked like it wasn’t the correct amount. Maybe if they place it in a Sundae dish instead of a cup then it will not look like they shorting you on product. The famous Galley Burger, it’s not Much to look it but it was delicious the flavors from both the BBQ sauce and Tartar sauce was confusing but it worked and the bun was super soft. I’ll be back try again and to verify the fries"
"I decided to try the new, much anticipated, burger joint today, Swensons! First, keep in mind this is a "drive-In" NOT a "drive-through". You will not drive up to a faceless picture board and order from a voice through a broken speaker. You park facing the restaurant and turn your lights on. This indicates you are ready to be served. Your server comes to get your order, and they truly do "sprint" to your car! The service was excellent. The menu was patiently explained to me and she was very friendly. I ordered 2 galley boys with bacon and a side of fries. It doesn't come with bacon but I highly recommend the add! It's a double pattie burger with slaw and bbq sauce. Truthfully, it's not pretty but REALLY tasty! The fries were warm and delicious. The wait was, as they say, about 15 minutes but worth it to experience drive-In dining and eat freshly cooked food. Payment is taken after you receive your food. About $14. Overall, it was a new, fun, and yummy experience. Go on a nice day and you won't be disappointed!"
