Swensons hosts 'soft opening' at new North Olmsted restaurant

We'll take a Galley Boy with potato teasers.

NORTH OLMSTED, Ohio -- Hungry to gobble up a Galley Boy?

Wait no longer…

Swensons is currently hosting a “soft opening” of their new North Olmsted location.

“Phone orders aren't possible just yet, but stop in and we'll serve you if you want to dine here or take it with you to-go!” Swensons posted on Facebook.

The new North Olmsted restaurant will celebrate its official grand opening on Friday, Aug. 10.

This comes as Swensons is also preparing to open a new restaurant in Avon and are currently building their first location in Columbus.

“For anybody who grew up in the Akron area they kind of know it, but for anybody who's unfamiliar with the drive-in experience, this is all curbside dining,” Swensons spokesperson Crystal Griffith told WKYC when the chain opened its University Heights restaurant earlier this year.

Known for its signature Galley Boy, which is a double cheeseburger smothered in two homemade sauces, Swensons is consistently ranked among America's best burger spots. It's even a favorite of Akron native LeBron James.

Last year, the Swensons food truck dropped by WKYC's studios to show what it takes to grill up their famous Galley Boy sandwich. Here's a look back at that visit:
