Shocked, just shocked. First time was lackluster, just no taste, and below room temperature food...of course, I always withhold if i can to write bad reviews, so returned for another chance. Unfortunately, it was the same! The biggest thing is near cold burger and fries! The deluxe, the special, and most of all the fries were just really really meh and near cold. Can I stress enough how the food is not hot at all? Perhaps its "just opening" jitters. But this review is based on decades of experience at the UW, Climate Pledge spots. Heck even the new Des Moines spot was great! To be clear, service was great, lines moved at a decent pace. Place is clean. Just don't understand lack of flavor and most of all how cool the food was. Shakes were ok, root beer float better. Here's to hoping they fix this, won't be returning months, at least summer for another try because I know they can fix it. :( read more

Dick's Drive-In - Is that a huge Raccoon? - Burgers Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

- Fast late-night dinner- Things happened and we haven't had dinner at 11.. where to go?! Everywhere else is closed other than Dicks, so we are here. When we got here, it felt like 9pm. There are tons of people and groups of people eating in the parking lot. It took like 5 mins to get our order, which was 2 deluxe burger, a strawberry milkshake, and a regular fries (which is like a baby size). Gotta say the regular fries is a joke, don't get fries here.. I would have ordered a larger size if I know it exists.. the fries was super oily and there were probably 20 pieces lol. Anyways, it's good that they open late here since Bellevue is really unfriendly to night owls unlike capital hill. read more

Everyone in Seattle loves Dick's, so when I heard that Dick's is now in Bellevue, I truly didn't care. I've always found their burgers and fries to be lackluster. But alas, a friend who loves Dick's wanted to get lunch here and because I'm a great friend, I didn't want to offer a rebuttal. We visited Dick's on a Monday at lunch time and the line was short, which is not the case from what I've observed if you come around dinner time where the line is longer. Located at Crossroads Mall, it's right across from the climbing gym in the parking lot area. Like the other locations, Dick's is takeout only where you walk up to a window to order and get your food. I ordered a deluxe, fries and a chocolate shake, and we walked to the nearby Crossroads Mall food court inside for seating. Burger was A-OK. The sauce was smeared all one on side instead of throughout the entire burger, so that was a bummer. The fries were as I expected, not crispy at all. Why, why, why are the fries at Dick's always soggy AF? Chocolate shake was good, but they didn't fill it to the top, so not cool, man. Not cool. Yes, I know it's cheap and is best consumed under the influence. But should quality go out the window (literally) when it's cheap? I wanna support local, but Dick's and I have never seem to be on the same page. I want a juicy, thick burger with crispy fries and a thick, chocolate milkshake that is filled to the rim. Don't expect that here. read more

We heard of the opening and decided to come. Huge lines!!!! Took 15-20 mins. But it's worth the wait. So glad they're on the east side again. Tasty Dick's burgers!!!! Got 2 Deluxe Dick's burgers with fries and 2 shakes; chocolate and strawberry. Of course not just for me. Lol This might be the go to spot for a while. read more

Dick's Drive-In - In line - Burgers Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

A nostalgic burger place. Walk up to outdoor counter to order. It is located toward the back of Crossroads mall. Big Red sign so easy to find. Got the deluxe plus fries ($10). It was ok. I prefer In n Out burger in California. 20 cent extra for onions and 20 cent for ketchup. No line when I went. It is only order at the outdoor counter, no drive through. Plenty of mall parking and since it is toward the back by itself, it was easy to park. Bag was greasy from the fries kind of place. read more

Cost for the fries is not worth it. Loved the hot fudge Sunday topping was actually hot- had it with the Kona coffee ice cream. The deluxe burger was not bad. Really enjoyed how fresh the bun was and the pickle flavor. Quick service. Clean parking. read more

Finally a place in town that opens after midnight! We did not try the burgers or fries but only one midnight run - Ice cream! We loved the Vanilla Sundae topped with Butterscotch. The Butterscotch was a beautiful, delicious Caramel topped over Vanilla Ice cream. read more

So my friend was like "Do you want some dicks in your mouth?" I was a little taken aback, so I asked what kind. "Juicy and meaty!" They replied. I asked how long it would take. "Super fast, you arrive, and in less than 5 minutes you'll have dicks in your mouth!" I agreed, and soon enough, I had dicks in my mouth - a Deluxe, no less. It was a first for me, but I have to say I enjoyed the experience. It's a pretty tasty fast-food burger. Fries aren't bad either. read more

Dick's Drive-In - Deluxe dicks burger. - Burgers Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

We finally made it to Dick's in Bellevue today. Ordered a Dick's Special burger, but somehow ended up with a deluxe (oops, hope hubs picked up the right order). Also ordered fries (of course ) and a chocolate shake. Definitely a classic Dick's meal!! It's been years since we've been to Dicks, though it was definitely a late night stop during my UW days. Have to say it definitely hit the spot. The fries were amazing, and burger and shake were good too. So a belated welcome to the Eastside Dicks!!! So glad you opened on this side of the bridge read more

Dick's Drive-In - Dick's Deluxe, fries & chocolate shake - Burgers Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

No matter what time of the day or day of the week, there would always be a line. I decided to stop by for their 69th anniversary that brought back 19-cent burgers from 1954. The burger menu is simple, consisting of Dick's Deluxe ($4.85), Dick's Special ($2.95), Cheeseburger ($2.75), Cheeseburger Plain ($2.60), Hamburger ($2.30), and Hamburger Plain ($2.20). The plain versions are a tad cheaper as ketchup and mustard are not included. Both the Deluxe and Special have mayonnaise instead. Condiments such as onions, ketchup, and tartar are sold separately for $0.20. ----- Cheeseburger: one patty, cheese, ketchup, mustard ($2.75). Actually better than I was expecting. It was fresh with a well-cooked patty and a light bite without any greasiness. Cheese was nicely melted. The size is small but cost is equally inexpensive. ----- Orders are placed up front at the counter where there are six windows. Four were open Wednesday morning, making the lines go rather quickly. The speed of the line depends on the people in front of you as orders are fulfilled during payment time instead of an order number system. This location is in Crossroads Bellevue and has abundant parking spaces. read more

Dick's Drive-In - Cheeseburger: one patty, cheese, ketchup, mustard ($2.75). - Burgers Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I'm sorry, I know Dick's is a Seattle area novelty, but the food is really just subpar. Dry tasteless burgers, soggy oily fries - I just don't get why there's such a big following out here. It was so bad that I didn't bother taking any pictures. Maybe this location isn't as good as the original, but really had me questioning why I didn't just go to McDonald's. The milkshake was decent, but everything else including the service was forgettable. Not sure why there has ever been a comparison between Dick's and In-N-Out... they're not in the same league. Thoroughly disappointed and definitely don't need to come back. read more

Whenever I come by Seattle I always have to come by and try Dick's burgers as its their staple, while in CA we have our burger joint The place is huge and looks very clean and the workers are quick with service. I got the deluxe with french fries. I still think its strange to charge for ketchup and you bet I didn't pay extra for ketchup. The burger itself is OK, better than other common fast-food spots. The fries were the most soggiest fries I've had. Overall its OK and a bit pricey for what you get, if I lived in the area I wouldn't come back, but since I don't i don't mind trying it out each time and hopefully it will eventually change my mind. read more

Found a piece of plastic or some foreign object in my milkshake. Not sure how that happens but put a bad taste in my mouth (literally). read more

Dick's Drive-In - Found a piece of plastic or something in my milkshake. So gross - Burgers Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Came in to check out the hype. Came away disappointed. Location was clean and well presented, and the service was fast and accurate. My Deluxe Burger was OK; nothing special. Fries were the big disappointment. Couldn't believe fries could be both overcooked, and limp and soggy; but there they were. Completely unappetizing and I was unable to eat even half of them. Dick's will be a good place to grab a quick burger when I'm hungry and there's nothing else nearby, but I don't consider Dick's a destination restaurant. I'm not going to be going out of my way to visit again. And when I do visit again I'm definitely skipping the fries. read more

Visited this Dick's Drive-In location in Crossroads, and after waiting in one of the lines, I arrived at the window and ordered my burger and fries. I paid, then was told to wait for my food. I watched as he then proceeded to take several orders from people who were in line behind me. Every time he proceeded to pack an order and head back to the window, I thought it was mine, and tried to pick it up, but apparently it was for the person who had just ordered and I was told to keep waiting. I wondered what was happening in confusion, as apparently hamburgers and fries were immediately available for everyone except for me. After 4 more orders were served at that window, I finally got my food, but I couldn't help but wonder why I had to wait 4 times longer than any other customer. In terms of the food, it was okay, but not notable, burgers were small and the fries were too greasy and soggy. read more

Good burgers and affordable pricing! The line can be long at times but moves quick. The staff is very efficient at getting the food ready in a fast past. One burger is definitely not filling enough though make sure to get 3-4 read more

Their limp fries were the worst I've ever had. Burgers taste like McDonald's but slightly cheaper. Shakes are respectable and a decent value. Walk up only, plenty of parking at Crossroads. read more

I do love my McDonald's, but whenever I'm in Seattle or neighboring areas, I make sure to go to Dick's. During the Labor Day weekend, I found myself at Bellevue for the first time. I saw that there was a Dick's at Crossroads, so that's where I went for lunch. Upon my arrival, I parked the car and walked up to the window to place my order. Even though it was just one person ahead of me, they actually opened up a second window for me. I ordered the usual, 2 Dick's Deluxe with everything and a chocolate shake. I took the food back to my car to enjoy. Don't go to Dick's expecting a gourmet burger that'll blow your socks off. They just serve a unique tasting, old-fashioned, and still affordable burger. read more

Decided to try this place, but when we got there the lines were massive. Normally not a problem, it appeared they were a fast establishment. But I couldn't have been more wrong. The lines didn't move an inch over a 30 minute period. Literally. We started on the curb, and ended on the curb. So we went somewhere else for an actual quick bite. read more

I feel a lot safer coming to Dick's here than any of their other location in Seattle, this is located in parking lot of Crossroads Mall where it's very easy to get to and well...park. I wish they would have a drive thru to avoid getting out in the rain, but that would take away from the experience of being a drive in. Menu is very simple, you have a few burger choices which really the only difference is number of patty that you want and with or without cheese, taste is the same, fries, and shakes. Now, it's not on the same tier as In N Out or Shake Shack to compare, but I still come here because it's a local chain and I know Dick's pay their employees very well for fast food and has programs to help with getting scholarships. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:) read more

Dick's Drive-In - My meal was under $10. Love, @eatoutthao - Burgers Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Finally an Eastside location for this lazy to travel like me. Sometimes the lines are barely there, but when they're understaffed, you're waiting at least 15+ minutes. Having not grown up with this, the burger taste has grown on me slowly over time. I've had occasions where the fries are crisp, and other times annoyingly limp (huge pet peeve). The cheap milkshakes feel like sweet, tasteless calories to me, without making me crave more. The convenient location with ample Crossroads Mall parking and cheap prices for a meal on the go will keep me coming back at least. read more

The food is what you would expect for a cheap eat, so no complaints. The service is always excellent, and the cashier was very friendly. The ambiance is pure local, and I always enjoy feeling the authenticity of a truly local place, and so Dicks is always a nice stop every once in awhile. It just feels good to be there. This one is not stand alone, so a star off for that, but it is next to the climbing gym, so it is a cheap after workout treat :) read more

This place is like a magnet. It just draws in customers to line up to order. Unfortunately, I am disappointed that this place is just OK. The good: - The line moves fast and it doesn't take long to get your order right away (actually, not sure if this is a good thing). - Great value ($2 for a burger!) The bad: - The burger patties are rather dry and tasteless (if you want char-broiled/grilled patties you should look elsewhere). - The fries are soggy and appears to be over-cooked (i.e. browned). - The strawberry milkshake was nasty (artificial coloring that looked more orange than red/pink w/ zero flavors). The worst strawberry milkshake ever. - - The presentation with the milkshake was messy (chocolate all over strawberry milkshake cup/lid...etc). read more

Uh.. if you haven't been to one in seattle you're either new or live under a large boulder. Anyhow. it's in the back of the crossroads mall, between the theater and the Michael's entrance. Enter off of nE if coming from the south or off of 148th.. Don't park in the front of the mall as it's probably closed and you've had a few to drink. From 148th, head to the theater and take a right. Anyhow, it's nicer than the original Capital Hill and University locations. The clientele are either Microsoft / Amazon.com millennials, kids from the eastside high schools whose parents don't want the driving into seattle, Kent or Lynnwood or UW Alumni who now live on the Eastside. The mall is nice because it has tons of free, litter and homeless free parking. read more

If you are looking for a quick, cheap, and decent burger, then this is the place to go to! Dicks is always consistent in their quality, fast service, and cheap food. The fries are very yummy and fresh, way better than In n Out fries. Overall, for the price and quality, this is my go-to place for fast food in Washington. read more

Came here at 6pm on a Saturday. Minimal lines and plenty of parking. Picture if Five Guys and In-n-Out had a baby. Five Guys burger and In-n-Out fries (the bad parts of each). The reason I'd go again is because it's cheap and easy to eat. Pros: -fast -tastes good enough -inexpensive Cons: -have to pay for sides of ketchup -fries are soft and overcooked -lettuce is limp -bun is bigger than the burger -no seating or drive thru trays, so you basically walk to get your food then eat it from a bag in your car or take it home. read more

This is kind of "get what you pay for" experience. We got orders super fast and it was super cheap. Fries were soggy and burger was OK for price. I think you're going more for the greasy charm than the food. read more

Stopped by Dick's after dinner with friends to get some dairy dessert and it lived up to the hype! We got a Strawberry Milkshake, Single Maple Nut Cone, and a Double Mint Chocolate Chip Rocky Road Cone between the three of us and it was really tasty for the price point. Would come again for the ice cream (I'm not personally a shake person) and of course lightning fast service! read more

Three Stars. I guess we don't understand the hype? Went to Dicks for the first time in a few years at their new Bellevue location. The place looked spotless. The person who took our order was friendly and efficient. The hamburgers were good but certainly not exceptional in any way. Not bad but nothing we would go out of our way for. The order of soggy fries that we shared were below par. We just expected better. The shakes were very good. No place to eat. No inside seating or benches. Next time we are in Crossroads we will likely patronize one of the restaurants inside the mall. Maybe all of the hype caused us to expect too much? read more

Yay for this "new" location! Eastside has one now. Burgers are as tasty as their Seattle's original location. I like yhey have a simple easy menu. Burgers are not huge and are easy to have :) Shakes are better! Quick stop. I haven't seen any big lines at any location. Like they have different cashiers. I have found easy parking infront of it. What I would like is them coming to your car to be a real drive in or old burger spot. But it isn't that difficult getting off your car unless you have a baby. Service is friendly and fast :) like you can see it's clean. read more

So nice to have an eastside location that's 10 minutes from my door step to grab eight cheeseburgers, a Dick's Deluxe and two order of the best fresh cut fries in town! In a time where the high cost of other burger spots (did I say Golden Arches? Lol) just aren't worth my time, it's very nice to know you can still go here and get an inexpensive well made burger! read more

Wanted to like the place. First of all they are not the friendliest people ... not even a smile. A smile and a good afternoon how can I help you goes a long way. I guess they don't emphasis warm greetings. Secondly, the girl at the counter would not let me order the Deluxe burger that has 2 meats plain and dry. She asked the manager and he said no. I was willing to pay that price without all the added stuff. She could have said I'm so sorry but we don't do substitutes since our burgers are already made for faster service. Instead she said no we can't do that... no explanation as to why I couldn't get it plain and dry. She suggested 2 plain hamburgers which made no sense since that would be 4 buns meaning more bread and more carbs. She could have done it since she had to wait for burgers to come out since none were ready. And lastly, not sure why she didn't give me the bag once I handed her the $11 cash. I had to wait for the bag while she made change. I would understand a card but I handed her more money than what I bought. While the burgers were good, the edges of the top buns were hard. FYI: They need to have a double plain burger on the menu. read more

Update: I've been there several times since my review. I now always order hamburgers for myself, no cheese. I do like them better without the cheese-whiz. I mean, cheese. Twice now, they've told me they were out of hamburgers made with ketchup and mustard, but did have some ready that were plain with no condiments. They asked if I wanted the plain ones or to wait for more to be made with the condiments. In both cases I ordered the plain ones. But I have to wonder, would it really be that much of a disruption of their process to splash the ketchup and mustard on the plain ones for me? That's the only difference. I hope they're saving a lot of labor dollars not being willing to do that. Their shakes are really good. It's tempting to go just for one of those. read more

Only reason is not 5 stars is because they forgot one of our burgers. The fries are so soft and I love it!! Best fries ever!!! Burger is a burger but it's quick! If you're looking for really really fast food, this place is awesome! read more

Much safer location than the one in Seattle and much cleaner! This Dick's is located in the shopping center of Crossroads Mall. There is a lot of parking spaces and it is well lit. There are no seats available to eat there. It's more of an order counter and restrooms are available. The menu is small and they have cheeseburgers, fries, shakes, and ice-cream. I ordered a cheeseburger, fries, and Vanilla cone. The food was overall good and hit the spot for a fast food cheeseburger. I loved that the food was not greasy. I really liked my cheeseburger and would go here for a quick bite to eat instead of McDonalds. read more

You first time at Dick's might be puzzlement. The salty soggy fries made fresh in the store, the large grill covered with burgers, the cost of condiments, the lack of customization options. The ice cream. As the years progress, as you meet your friends at Dick's after the shows, or after working late, or arriving from a flight, you realize each order arrives exactly as fast as the first time, tastes exactly the same as the first time. Order and pay and pull your napkins, and your bag of Dick's is right in front of you. So reliable, such a reduction of cognitive load, it's become our region's comfort food. Say, "let's go to Dick's" and everybody already knows what they are going to order. read more

I am writing this review after trying deluxe burger twice at this specific location. I was super excited to see Dick's burger on east side which meant no more driving all the way to u-district or capitol hill. But to my surprise I was very disappointed. Both times I tried their deluxe, just like other reviews mentioned, it tasted blend. Their patty does not taste like patty. It just tastes like it's missing something... idk if it has to do with quality of the patty that this specific location uses... I have been to u-district, capitol hill, lynnwood, and des moines locations and their burgers all tasted like "normal delicious dick's burger". I still do not understand if this is a burger chain that uses same recipe and ingredient, how can they mess it up this bad? read more

Love that they are open late and the service is fast. I'm so glad they came to the East side. read more

Ordered the Special burger, fries and chocolate shake and wasn't disappointed, all tasted good and could have eaten a second burger and another order of fries. The bun and sauce on the burger are great. The fries are fresh cut potatoes and the shake was perfect. The menu prices are more than reasonable. The staff was very friendly and happy and asked if we needed anything else. Place is clean, no leftover trash anywhere. No indoor seating so had to eat in the car which isn't a problem. Always look forward to Dicks when in Seattle area. Dick's is very popular. read more
