Swensons' signature burger is the Galley Boy, a double cheeseburger with two sauces. The restaurant also sells more than 18 different milk shakes.

Wesley T. "Pop" Swenson started selling hamburgers at Buchtel High School out of a station wagon in 1933. In 1934, he opened a restaurant on South Hawkins in Akron, near Market Street. Swenson sold the restaurant in 1949 to Robert Phillips, who began expansion in 1952 with a second location in North Akron on East Cuyahoga Falls Avenue. Other locations include: Stow (1987), Montrose (1995), Jackson Township (the first franchise, 1996), Seven Hills (2001), and North Canton (2003).
