Must try if you're in the Seattle area! Quick service, so you can't customize your burgers. The cheeseburger is delicious! Love the fresh cut fries. & their chocolate shakes are YUM. the only thing is that their fry sauce is just a tartar sauce, not like your typical fry side ketchup/mayo based. Love stopping here on the way home from the airport. read more

It's a good burger, I have to admit. Coming from California, I didn't think it would compare to In-N-Out. It does compare, but In-N-Out is still coming out on top. read more

First review of the year! I'm a big fan now for sure. Finally got to have Dick's in my mouth!!! Sooo yum haha. Dick's is supposed to be the Washington (Seattle mainly) version of California's In-N-Out. Comparable since they are both cheap, using fresh never frozen beef! Anyway, I had to try the different options. The deluxe (double double), the special (single cheeseburger) and of course the fries. I forgot to try the regular cheeseburger lol. If you want to taste the condiments and veggies more, get the special. The deluxe is definitely more meaty! Fries were not bad! Just ok, but I digged the burnt saltiness and semi sogginess of them. The fries complimented the burger staple of Dick's! In-N-Out still has better fries, but I came here for the burger!! Overall, I LOVED that I could taste their patties. I'm a California native born and raised. So I'm supposed to love In-N-Out the "mostest" hahah. But to be honest, I thought Dick's was better! A super unpopular opinion I'm sure, however everyone's entitled to their own thoughts! I feel all Californians say In-N-Out is the best cuz that's the bias they're always gonna have. Same with Seattle/Washington natives who I'm sure would say Dick's is the best. It's just what you grew up with LOL. Yes I admit, In-N-Out has the better sauce & spread but a burger is supposed to be all about the meat too right? That's the star of the show, and if I can't taste the meat patty because the spread and veggies overwhelm it, then I feel it's not that great of a burger. That's my main gripe with In-N-Out was that I could never taste the patties. Their burger would drown in sogginess due to the veggies/sauce (I liked Dick's semi soggy fries but I don't want soggy burgers lol)! I didn't want to have to substitute and remove the veggies to taste 'em more. Or have to get a hamburger just to taste the patties. I want all the fixings just in a proportioned way and to come as is. Also, they're always so so messy. Why can't In-N-Out just wrap it, enclosed so it's nice and warm vs. getting a colder burger by the time you get home with In-N-Out lol. I'm not trying to hate, it's just my honest opinion between the two. The simple mayo relish for the Dick's burger just brings out the meat flavor more for me. The other thing I tried was my fiance's chocolate milkshake which was honestly and plainly good as well. Richer, smooth chocolate taste. I think it's better than In-N-Out's shakes. Sometimes less is more. I appreciate the simple and no nonsense approach Dick's has: -no substitutions -shakes are one size -no drive thru, just a plain drive in/walk up type of joint -packaged & wrapped up nicely/not messy like In-N-Out -no dumb long line just to get a burger! lol However, I do wish they'd offer the mayo as a fries condiment, aside from ketchup. Funny enough, they offer tartar sauce instead. Not mayo but tartar sauce, and they don't even serve fish! Oh Dick's lol. Not a deal breaker for me cuz I still enjoyed my meal but it would be nice to have mayo on the side. Also, I heard they have a starting pay for their fast food workers at $20-25!? Sheesh. With tuition support and full medical benefits & 401k matching?! Just wowww. Good for them. Sorry for the long review of this fast food burger chain hahahh. If you read all this, thank you!

Rude customer service, would not recommend. Food is very underwhelming. You also can't take anything off or add onto burgers.

Whenever I travel to Seattle, I almost always will make a couple of stops at a Dick's Drive-in. Since I was staying near the SeaTac Airport, I drove down here a couple times for a quick, cheap, and delicious meal. Each time, I would get my usual order: 2 Dick's Deluxe and a milkshake. This location was no different from the other locations that I've visited in that both the taste and quality was consistently good. The employees here were fast and efficient. I'll definitely be back! read more

As a transplant who has been living in WA for 7 years now, I was told that I had to come to Dick's because it was a Washingtonian thing. It's unlike any place I've been--you place your order outside at one of the stations and the order gets turned around in minutes. The servers and cooks must work very hard! I have to say the service was cheerful and great. The burger and the milkshake... less great. If I want a good burger or a good milkshake, I'm probably going to go to Habit Burger or Katsu Burger. I do give points for nostalgia though... I can see how if people grew up eating these burgers, that would influence the taste. read more

The fact Seattle compares this to In N Out is beyond me. We're talking about fresh ingredients to the mush I received. I mean, you get what you pay for I guess. It's cheap. Quality not all amazing. Fries -__- are a combination of salty & burnt. read more

The food tasted like the schools burgers back in the day... The service were rude saying we couldn't customize anything and being disrespectful. It's like Dicks Last Resort without the humor part. The ambiance was retro. (THEY CHARGED FOR KETCHUP) WHO DOES THAT IN 2024!!!! read more

One of the first places that was recommended to me when I moved to Seattle 20+ years ago was dicks drive i I looked at the person like they were crazy but they highly encouraged that I try it. It's a local burger joint but well worth the trip. if you're averse to long lines, go online to their website and they have line cameras at most of their locations now so you can see what kind of a potential wait there might be. The menu is simple, and the workers move things along very quickly. I have found a fair amount of parking at each location and eat in my vehicle. The parking lots are kept clean. It's an overall great experience. If you're a Seattlelite or visiting, I highly recommend a trip to dicks drive-in . read more

One of the down sides to moving back to WA is no more In-N-Out Burger. I ate at Dick's many years ago and here everyone thinks this place is the greatest place ever for burgers. Decided to give them another try with an open mind. I LOVED the chocolate shake, it was better than the other place. Fries were also good but not as good as In-N -Out. This place doesn't put onions on their burgers and I love GRILLED ONIONS on my burger but that wasn't an option. The burger was good but needed grilled onions. The "secret sauce" Dick's uses on their burgers is odd and I didn't like it. For fast food it was good, just wasn't great. read more

Dick's is a Seattle staple. And no, In N Out is not better, sorry. That is a hill I will DIE ON. I'm glad the Kent location is so close to me. Dick's Burgers without having to go all the way to Seattle? SCORE. The line is always a healthy wait here, but they get through it quickly. Due to COVID, they've had social distance monitors here. I've heard some take their job seriously more than others... My usual order is the Dick's Deluxe with fries - and if I'm feeling like really going all in, I'll get a vanilla shake. The Dick's Deluxe is delicious. I always only get one and regret it, because I totally think I could eat two since they aren't super huge. The fries are amazing, too. I know some complain because they aren't crunchy but I am a SOGGY FRY STAN. They're salty, they're soggy... They are AMAZING and I can't be told otherwise. Not only are Dick's burgers amazing, but the price is extremely cheap and the business itself is great to their employees & community. They truly are what a local business is all about. I don't know if there's really any Washingtonians left who haven't indulged in some Dick's... But if you haven't, please get it together and stop by to have your life changed, thanks. read more

I don't usually come here because I find the food to be too greasy, but I did today because the burgers were 19 cents. The fries were still too greasy which I knew before coming, no complaints. What I didn't like this time around is that I was served my drink and it's not even full. I'm missing 1/5 of my drink. And I asked and paid extra for ketchup and was given tartar sauce. The cashier was nice, but I hoped my next experience can be a pleasant one. read more

Just your average hamburger drive-in. Definitely better than McDonald's. Definitely better than Burgermaster. If you just want an old-fashioned cheap burger this is the place to go. Service people are fast and friendly. There's no place to sit inside, So you go back to your car read more

Burgers are good but the fries are some of my all time favorites! Great place to stop if you are passing by.

Dicks is always good, this is a regular stop every time I am near. I love that they pay their employees a livable wage and the food is always above average and cheap. Sometimes their fries can be hit or miss, but today was excellent, my only reason for not giving 5 stars is the wait times, the crowds, and charging for a side sauce to dip. read more

I think this is my new go-to place on the way to/from the airport. It's a convenient location to take out of town guests for a quick PNW tradition. It's no Habit burger but I think it's better than In-N-Out. The milkshakes are definitely a must and great addition to any meal. There are no tables so be prepared to eat in your car or take it to go. Gotta love the nostalgia and the pricing to match! read more

Our first meal in Seattle that was recommended, and I would completely recommend it too! We got there around 10 p.m., and we waited almost 30 minutes in line. There were multiple lines, so I was thinking that this place had to be good, right!? We ordered the deluxe burger with fries and a strawberry shake. Everything was fresh and delicious. It was the perfect late-night bite. The workers were really sweet, and the service was incredibly fast once you went to order. It's important to know that you cannot substitute anything, and they charge for a lot of different add-ons. read more

You really can't beat a burger for the price. These burgers honestly don't taste any different compared to other fast food burgers, the only real value and love for them is the price. This is Washington's version of In N Out, but don't expect too much. They are pretty standard burgers that are $3.50 or less. The deluxe burger comes with everything, but you need to order the condiments on the side, which are only a nickel each. The fries were soggy, so I didn't like that. I saw them getting made when I was eating my burger, so I'm curious what made them soggy. I think they were probably sitting out for too long. The float was good! Classic root beer float. read more

Dicks is so consistently excellent and every Seattle trip includes a visit. Great fresh burgers and fries with a delicious chocolate shake makes for a great meal anytime. No frills, zero pretense, just good old fashioned quality food done quickly with great quality. read more

We get excited any time it works out to stop at Dicks. Since we live in Tacoma, the Kent location is the closest. Love the vibe and the quick, simple and delicious burgers. I didn't get a picture of the fries this time but they were kind of sad and soggy. I got a Dicks Deluxe burger and it was tasty as always. I appreciate how the parking lot was modified to allow for social distance and thank God even though it's a drive up place, they still have bathrooms. read more

Never have i heard of Dick's or the appeal of its menu. i am a big 'cheap eats' person that isn't the mainstream fast food. I was looking for something fast and simple on the way home from a trip to Seattle and came across this gem. Now it is no in n out, more of a sonic burgers type... I would say the best best is to get the dirt cheap cheese burger and a few sides of sauce to spread round. The fries aren't amazing, and the burgers aren't crazy good, but as far as price goes, I would say it is good for its lane. Now why the 4 star review.. Well honestly I do not know, but I liked it and enjoyed the whole experience. I got one of each types of burgers, now the deluxe one had no cheese, yet... it was a superior item on their menu... So I would skip that. Go get 7 bucks of cheap burgers and fries and enjoy the process. read more

So this is gonna be bad for me haha! My new work is SO close to here and I've eaten here at least 4 time within the last 2 weeks. They're always super quick with their food, cheap and tasty! I rarely went to the ones in Seattle because it was a deep drive. But now that my new job is less than a 5 min drive. This will make me fat haha. Get the deluxe and fries! read more

This was my first time at this location it's a old school type drive in no drive up window You have to get your lazy but out of the walk up to the window to place your order I had a deluxe cheeseburger a chocolate shake and a side of fries with ketchup and tartar all of which were very tasty the service was good there was a little bit of a line but it went fast after placing my order I walked to my car and they were calling me back food was done yes I would recommend it and will return! read more

Good burgers, very small like a jr bacon cheese burger from Wendy's. Very expensive. The fries are really soggy and cold/oily. The staff was fine. A lot of it was policy. Asked for fresh fries and they refused and said they're supposed to be cold and soggy. Locals recommend this, I've been 3x now and will never be back. Warning: you can get Wendy's and it'd be more worth it. Poor quality, quick but unwelcoming service, and expensive. Skip this place! read more

If you know anybody who attended the University of Washington or you yourself have attended - you know Dicks. Dicks is that little vintage style drive in that is known for cheap burgers, late nights, and drunk munchies. Dick's new location right in Kent by the Home Depot is literally a replica of the one near the University. The burgers range from $2 - $3 dollars and the fries is just under 2 bucks. In the mood for a shake with your burger? This place has it all. The burgers aren't anything too special, they are beef burgers with a mayo, ketchup, pickle mix and are never piping hot but just warm - I think this has to do with the fact that the burgers are always ready to go. Come to Dicks to enjoy a quick lunch/ dinner, or snack if you are feeling nostalgic or not feeling the commercialized McDonalds or Wendys - there's something about this place that bring you back and while the food isn't anything stellar, it satisfies! read more

My parents, whom I love dearly, have been divorced for 16 years. My mother, a hyper competitive, church going, god fearing, professional racquetball player, and my father, a suburban dwelling, groovy wayward carpenter, with a distain for organized religion, with very little sense of time urgency. Although there's very little they see eye to eye on today, one view has remained consistent, instilled in me since boyhood, that: Dick's Drive-In is the archetype of quality hamburgers and the standard that all French fries should be judged against. And that their line has every shape and size of person in it, from your local heroine addict to Bill Gates. read more

Tried Dick's since we had heard this local burger joint was better than In-n-Out. It was good for service, uniqueness, and service time. Sadly the burger lacked flavor. The tartar sauce was different but not being able to make any additions/changes didn't allow to get a burger that one of us would have preferred. Like a previous reviewer, this is a one and done for us. Doesn't hold a candle to In-n-Out. read more

This is a must when we visit, but we usually go to the one on broadway. Dick's is the perfect late night bites. The first day we went the cheeseburger bread was hard and it was dry. But by the 3rd time we went - it was DELICIOUS! Overall we will always be at Dick's when we visit Seattle. read more

I really really like this Dick's location. Why? They're clean, spacious and tons of parking, has a covered shaded waiting line, clean restrooms, consistent service and food. Never liked that Dick's get compared to In & Out. They're nothing the same in terms of taste. I mean, both claim to have 100% Beef never frozen and daily fresh cut fries - but other than that - NOT the same at all. I Love Dick's because it tastes homey and simple - like what an old fashioned burger place should taste like. If you love a good greasy Burger with simple ingredients like lettuce and secret pickle sauce and very soggy, Limpy Fries - this is the place for you and me! Also, their shakes and root beer floats are always creamy and generous portion! And hey, this is a cheap burger joint, don't go in expecting luxury burgers! Let's be realistic here. Deluxe Burgers = $3.85 Fries = $2.10 read more
