    Serving burgers, fries and shakes since 1954. Choose between Dicks Deluxe and a plain hamburger. Ground fresh every morning. Fresh cut fries! Ice cream flavors include vanilla, chocolate, mint, chocolate chip, chocolate chip, cookie dough, Rocky Road, cookies and cream and even Huckleberry. Classic walk up with no seating but a good size parking lot to eat in your car. Friendly folks and a line even a 11pm.

    Authentic since 1954. Burgers, fries, shakes, thats it. No indoor seating. Fresh never frozen.

    We were visiting Seattle and stopped by this nice old school burger place. It's really nice. The service is good and the food is as well. The star of the show were the French fries and tartare sauce. So yummy . Please try the root beer as it is the best I had ever had. My daughter had the mint chocolate chip sundae with butterscotch. The food came out fast! I would prefer it over the larger chain burger placed. Go check them out.

    Second time at Dicks, but 1st time at this location. This location was much better than the other location. The burger was much better. I love the sauce they use, its different than other burger places, who use 1000 island type sauce. Dick's pickle base sauce is just different and good. The ice cream was great the huckleberry ice cream was very good. The service was good and friendly.

    We were told Dick's Drive In is the local fast food burger joint to try. You park, walk up, order, and leave. No tables. Simple menu with 6 types of burgers ranging from $2.45 to $5.30, fries, ice cream, shakes and sodas. No combos, all a la carte. We got the 1/4 pounder deluxe which had two thin patties, cheese, lettuce, mayo and chopped pickles. I hate pickles but it was so well disguised by being chopped like relish and that sauce was the best part for me. The bun was soft. Also got the fries. Loved it. It's like, if McD and In n Out had a baby. Condiments cost extra and it comes in a container. Just a basic inexpensive burger that tastes so good! Definitely coming back another day.

    Okay so I lived in Washington for my first 25 years and never tried dicks. I know, don't judge me. I just never got around to trying it and didn't care to go out of my way. With that said, I have a few thoughts. I personally think the burger itself is over hyped. People have told me it's one of the best fast food burgers in the greater Seattle area, and I think they were saying that based on pride. Like it was good, but not the best thing I've ever had. With that said, I do think the bang for the buck is pretty darn good. The deluxe is a solid amount for $5, especially these days. Compare that to other fast food places and it's right on par with what you'd get. Plus, dicks does a lot for the community and always gives back. It's a worth a visit just because of that. I'm happy to try i finally tried dicks and although it's not the best, it's definitely solid and a reliable stop for a meal.

    3 - Meh, not horrible, but not worth a second trip Dick's Drive-In - Kent, WA Stopped by Dick's in Kent to try the classic experience--50s-style burger joint with no indoor seating. You order at the window and either take it to go or eat in your car. The service was friendly and the place was impressively clean, which I appreciated. I ordered the Dick's Deluxe Burger, which is a quarter-pounder made with two 1/8 lb patties, mayo, chopped pickles, and lettuce. Honestly? It was mediocre at best. Nothing bad, but nothing memorable either--just a pretty underwhelming burger overall. What really surprised me was that they charge 20 cents for ketchup. Not a dealbreaker, but it definitely left a weird impression. In a world where most places toss in a few packets for free, it felt unnecessarily stingy. Not a terrible experience, but nothing that makes me want to come back. If you're into the nostalgia factor, maybe it's worth a stop--but for me, it was a one-and-done.

    First time trying this place after hearing its Seattle's in n out. I would say it's decent but not a place you must have. I'm glad I tried it and if it was next door to my hotel I'd try it again for convenience but I wouldn't go out of my way again. Fries are seasoned well but they don't have ranch so if you love fries and ranch like I do then keep that in mind. 1/4 deluxe burger is decent. It's on the smaller side, about the size of a double cheeseburger from McDonald's so if you have a big appetite you might need more than one.

    Eater Seattle claims this local burger shop as one of its favorites for takeout. Wanting to try something local and iconic, I bookmarked this location because it is the closest to the airport. Upon arrival, I was excited to see a retro midcentury design with an open kitchen concept and a large parking space to dine in the car. I would give a thumbs-up to the service. When I explained it was my first time trying it, the server recommended trying the shake. What I ordered: DICK'S SPECIAL (One Patty, Lettuce, Mayo, Chopped Pickle) - The order came out quickly in a big brown bag. The burgers were neatly wrapped, and while I appreciated the soft buns, the burgers did not bring much excitement, as I felt they lacked depth in flavor. It honestly felt like a one-and-done experience visiting the city. KETCHUP--NOT FREE. I paid $0.44 for two, and they came in neatly sealed plastic containers. FRENCH FRIES - The fries were overcooked and a bit flimsy. VANILLA SHAKE - The shake was tasty and comparable to the shakes from In-N-Out. About three-fourths of the way through, I poured hot Americano into it, and it tasted like sweet coffee.

    Several people said we had to try Dicks before leaving Seattle. After eating there not sure why. Service is very fast but it's hard to hear through tiny windows. It's easy to order though since they only have 5 items. We had the deluxe, fries and chocolate shakes. The amount of sauce on the burgers is crazy. It just oozes out and makes a mess. The fries are greasy and limp. Shake was thick but little chocolate flavor. Not sure I need to come back.

    The signature bags of Dicks.  Deluxe and fries of course!

    If you are a fan of Dick's Drive in (and many people who live in Seattle definitely are) then Kent is your destination!! From the SeaTac airport, drive down southbound I-5, and hang a right on exit 149, then southbound again on Pacific Highway. Keep driving until you see the Dick's Drive In sign! Yes, you will go out of your way, like I do. And, oddly, it's not as far away as you think. You do have to some street maneuvering to get there, as it's not a quick turnaround to get there if you are driving southbound, but it's manageable. I'm not sure how busy it is on weeknights, but for sure, it can be crowded on a Friday or Saturday night. And it won't fail you if you want to get there before 2am if you are needing that Dick's Deluxe burger with special-fry sauce. And make sure you time your journey accordingly, because when you order your fries, you want to make sure they are still nice and hot - the draw back of making fries with fresh potatoes every day. I personally don't get shakes with my burgers, but like all other locations, they have them and they are efficient when getting them out, and they are just as tasty in Kent, as they are in every other location that Dick's has a store. So, when you are in Kent, you know where to go! No explanation needed. It's Dick's!

    After a long flight with limited food options in the evening, Dick's drive-in was a solid choice. You can't go wrong with burgers, fries, and shakes. It's simple, satisfying, and super affordable. They get your order out fast, which is probably why they don't allow customizations to the burgers. I was a bit bummed that I couldn't get a plain cheeseburger with just lettuce, and they didn't have a plain cheeseburger at all. It's likely because everything is premade. Still, the burger, fries, and shake really hit the spot. There's no seating, so it felt like an old-school drive-in experience. I honestly can't remember the last time I ate in a car. Good thing it was a rental!

    If im being honest wasn't all that. It was very underwhelming in the taste category. The prices make it perfect after a night out

    UPDATE: 3/24/26... As a Yelp Elite member for 6 years, I…read morepride myself in giving fair reviews, whether good or bad. And with the bad, I strive to be positive on the experience that was good before giving suggestions or letting the owner know what fell short. I'm never out to bash a business. Rather, as an owner, if you pride yourself in customer service, you will take what a sincere Yelp Elite reviewer has to say, step back and see how you can improve. I just read the comments another reviewer posted a few days ago and saw that they were berated as well. I had nothing to gain from giving the review I did and it's unfortunate that you're no longer going to be in business, but there were two other people with me that came to this consensus. With that, I will reply to the unfortunate remarks slammed at me, the reviewer. Let me preface by saying I asked for a pic with the owner before tea service started. If it was said that we had a wonderful and lovely time, it was not by me but one of my friends who, when asked how everything was, couldn't think of anything else to say. Also, I wasn't going to express all of this in front of the owner at the time because I had others with me. So, to rebel and ask me if my mother is still alive and did she teach me to behave like this? Well, all I can say is your reaponse as a business owner is extremely childish and unprofessional. I didn't make the food. I reviewed it and if that means it's not the best review, so be it. It pains me not to give a business owner a good review because that's not what we as Elite members strive for. That said, lashing out is not the answer. At least I have the maturity and diplomacy to put these comments in without getting into a mud fight like you chose to do. Review..... My two girlfriends and I came here for afternoon tea. Since I'm the Yelp reviewer, I asked them for their input and so it was a consensus of the three of us. Here's what went right. It was nice to have a carafe of water at our table, there were beautiful flowers and dyed water to match in the vase, the teacups and saucers were very pretty, the owner was extremely nice. Here's what we thought needed a second look. The sign in the store advertised cheese and fruit for the afternoon tea but it didn't appear. When we asked we were told it didn't come with it but we could get some if we wanted. Please revise the sign as people do notice. Suggest you have a selection of three sandwiches rather than two of each. One was a small croissant filled with egg salad and if we hadn't been told that we thought it might be chicken. The other was a cucumber sandwich which although it's nice to have thin slices of cucumber, these were razor thin. Sort of disappointing that there was so little on a beautiful piece of bread. They scones were nothing special. Perhaps have something inside whether it be cranberry, currant etc. The sweets consisted of a Mexican wedding cake which was rather dry and was there a detection of almond extract? The orange macaron, as beautiful as it was, lacked flavor of orange. I was expecting a nice burst of something but it just wasn't there. The fondant on the petit four was much too thick, and sweet. Whatever fashion the raspberry is used, keep a bit of that tart flavor to offset the sweetness from the fondant. The effort was there, things just felt short.

    What a gift to have a place like this so close to my home! Easy going, friendly and knowledgeable…read morestaff. I grew up in Napa and it's so nice to able to talk wine again! The layout is spacious and comfy with enough seating and a comfortable atmosphere. Des Moines is a real community and MM is a great place to meet up for wine, snacks and I'm dying to try their brunch! I wanted to come here for my birthday but we ran out of time! We'll call it birthday month and I'll,for sure, be there soon!
