Dick's Drive-In

Dick's is probably the most iconic food in Seattle, so the fact that I've been living in the city for a couple years and have never had the burger is crazy. Finally, I was able to stop by late on a Friday night to pick it up. Before I even get to the food, I want to comment on the efficiency of their ordering process. Having been through a bunch of painful ordering processes in the past, this is a breath of fresh air. There are several different counters, and at each, once you get to the front - you pay, and immediately get your food before exiting the line. This makes things so simple. Obviously, this means the burgers are pre-made and pre-wrapped, but since they're constantly making and going through them so quickly, the burger you get has been made very recently. Moving to the burger - I had the Dick's Deluxe, which comes with two patties, melted American cheese, lettuce, relish, and some mayo. The best part of this burger was the two meat patties. Compared to somewhere like McDonald's, with its pre-frozen, sad, thin, beef patties - the patties here were fantastic. They were smashed excellently, and had a ton of crispy edges all around. A ton of that natural beef flavor was retained. Each patty was pretty thin, but when going with the double-patty burger, I got the perfect amount of meat in each bite. This is why I really wouldn't recommend going with one of the single patty burger options here - the Deluxe is the only way to go The other ingredients on the burger were also quite nice. The cheese was pretty much melted perfectly. The lettuce and onions were good, and I liked the slightly tangy nature of the mayo as a complement. The buns were also nicely toasted, and accomplished their job As dessert, I got the ice cream here. This was terrible. Do not get For a price of just $6 with tax, this is a very cheap burger. I won't say a single one is massive, but it's definitely comparable in price (and even cheaper in many cases) to your average fast food burger. And I think the quality here is just better than what you'd find there. Plus, it's always nice supporting a local place. Overall, it's a pretty good burger, at a really good price. 8.25/10

Good place for just a quick burger, fries and drink or shake. No other options available. Burgers were simple but good. Fries were hot and fresh. Root beer floats were very good. Parking was convenient

We visited for the first time and I was totally disappointed. The service was better than the food. I've had better burgers from other fast food places. Lastly our fries were cold. Go here for the experience, hopefully you enjoy your food.

My friend and I just left the Queen Anne location and had a bad experience. We were helped by a man who was probably about 5’9, dark hair, and a bad attitude. He was using the second register from the right if you’re facing the registers. He was outright rude. My friend tried to order and as soon as she started to order he said “you need to speak up I cannot hear you.” The words itself were not rude but the tone was. Then I asked if they had jalapeños (I realize it might’ve been a dumb question if it wasn’t on the menu but some places have secret menus) and he responded “no we don’t. What you see is what you get, we don’t have a secret menu.” Okay fine but say it nicer. I realize it’s midnight and it was packed but I’ve worked in customer service for 10 years and under no circumstance should a customer ever be treated like that unless they are disrespectful first and even then it’s looked down upon but I would understand. Food is fine. Other employees seemed great. This man needs an attitude check or to go back in the kitchen so that other customers don’t have a bad encounter like us. Lastly, he pushed the bag of food towards us and basically told us to leave very rudely.
