SWENSON'S - TUCSON, AZ

I think this is the first time we've eaten here since moving back to Tucson. It's an ice cream parlor and casual dining restaurant. Always crowded and noisy with amp'd-up toddlers and other assorted small ones due to all the sugar.

I think most people order hamburgers which is the only thing we've ever eaten here. For $7.30 (with coupon) we got a burger (they use Dickman's meat- an excellent butcher shop in the same mall; we used to get all our meat here during Tucson #1 because we lived so close.), fries (shoestring or wedge cut and they always serve a small side of ranch dressing), a drink, and a small dessert sundae (i've always gotten a hot fudge; they serve it with nuts, a cherry and whipped cream.)

A thoroughly satisfying meal experience. We came here after a hike and placed our order during the height of their peak busyness so we had to wait about 20 minutes for our food but the service was efficient and friendly and our waitress always came by to check on us and refill our coffee (me) and Coke (bill).
