Burgers made the old school way and deliciously taste like they did decades ago. Service consistently always friendly & prompt. A Seattle institution. read more

Dick's Drive-In - Smells like teen spirit ;) - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've lived in Seattle for a bit over half a year at this point and somehow hadn't stopped by a Dick's yet. It was finally time to give them a shot on for a Friday lunch. At 11:30, there wasn't much of a line and the employees started opening more registers to get our order in faster. They seem to have everything prepped and assembled already rather than cooking to order, so this is more fast food rather than traditional drive-in. It took literally 10 or 15 seconds for the cashier to grab all the food and hand it to us. To be honest, I wouldn't call this a drive-in in the first place since the window is walkup and there's no car hop service. Deluxe Burger ($5.75) - This is a pretty simple (small) burger with two patties, cheese slightly melted on top, and a small layer of shredded lettuce, mayo, and pickle relish underneath. The patties aren't charred much so they just taste like a normal fast food burger patty rather than having any caramelized goodness. The pickle relish is overpoweringly sweet and only slightly tangy. It makes the bottom layer a bit on the runny side. I would never get the relish on a burger again - it honestly ruins the flavor of the entire meal. (3/5) Fries ($2.95) - The fries come out softened like they've been steamed a bit perhaps. I wonder how long they had been sitting around before being served to us. There's no crisp at all and instead they have just a bit of a skin on the outside. The fries with the skin still on have a leathery chew. At least the interiors are very fluffy and they aren't over salted. I still prefer these over In & Out's though. Ketchup is extra. (3/5) I'm probably one of the few people who lived in California in the past and don't really like In & Out that much, but I would choose them over Dick's any day of the week... Except for the fries I guess. Bad ones there vs. mediocre ones here. Meh. At least it's fast and relatively cheap? read more

Honestly, it's Dick's. Consistent, fast, and always hits on a late night. Had a pleasant experience at this location, friendly service, efficient, and the green tin foil stood out for the deluxe (where they're typically orange). I don't think it was for any special occasion either, but worth documenting here! I also love the ice cream at Dick's as it's cheap, portioned well, and has basic flavors as well as unique favorites. read more

An absolute Seattle classic. While I miss when their condiments cost a nickel (old man yells at cloud), I support their business model and how they treat and pay staff. Worth the wait. Double deluxe + fry and tarter please. read more

I will always love Dick's, but. They changed their fries!!! The shoestring fries we have loved for decades are no longer. And they raised their prices. But I'm more upset about the fries. Booooooo!!! read more

I've been meaning to try one of the Dick's Drive-In locations for a while now. Love the retro vibes and neon signs and I feel like it's an instant classic. Big fan of the cookies and cream ice cream and chocolate and strawberry shakes. Plus, this is likely the cheapest food you can buy in Seattle, so that's a plus! read more

I feel bad that Seattle folks love this place so much and think it's good. It's really bad. The burgers are like a 5/10. The fries are a 1/10...super greasy and soggy. Just look at all the 3 star and below reviews. They are not lying. It might be better than McD's (except the fries), but it's not better than any other chain fast food burger place. I think this place only still exists for nostalgia. Sorry ya'll. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to try it out before leaving Seattle, pretty simple food. Nothing amazing or special, very simple. Kind of reminded us of in n out but for Seattle. No customizing your food, order and immediately get your food, pay and leave. Service was very casual. Fries kind of remind me of five guys, burgers were fine. Very affordable, especially as a couple paying for 2! read more

Dick's Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Quick and simple hamburger joint. It was convenient. We ordered 2 Deluxe Burgers, 1 cheeseburger, a order of fries, and a root beer float. Hamburgers were freshly made but on the smaller side. Fries were mediocre, oily and not appetizing looking. Root beer float was good. There isn't much of an area to dine at the place. Luckily we were taking it to go. They prepare everything on the other side of the glass so you can watch them making your hamburger. If we need something quick and simple will be back. Much better then McDonalds. read more

Coming from Spokane where we also have a Dick's burger, I was assuming it would be similar. Totally is not. The burgers come as is, so you can not customize. The burger was good, it had lettuce , tomato, sauce. Which the one in Spokane doesn't have veggies. And that's a bonus. Although, we didn't really care for the sweet relish in the burger, and the tartar and fry sauce tasted different than from home. Not sure if that's just how the west side makes theirs? The tartar and fry sauce came in prepackaged containers , where as the one in Spokane they makes their own. The fries were good, fries are fries. They weren't crunchy but they were good. Service was quick and fast and we were there very late at like midnight, there was only a couple other customers there. It's great that they're open late. Overall we might give it another try, but most likely not. read more

I haven't looked at the other reviews yet. So I am telling you straight I had the best Deluxe burger just now the beef was so flavorful and hot the cheese melted and so much sauce light shredess+ pickles Yes ! Something's going on @crown hill DICKS. It's a honorable family business that has been there for us through thick and thin. And we love the staff hard at it serving us all with purpose and excellence. read more

I was highly recommended this place by some friends , my sister does not like them . I ended up liking them . Burgers are tasty . I loved my strawberry shake. They have a lot of ice cream flavors I'd love to try. What I don't like is the size of the deluxe burger is really small . The size on the drinks are small to . Real small their prices are decent . No seating outside . read more

I need to tell it like it is. Burgers are pretty tasteless. Ice cream is decent. Landmark and history is cool but the food is whatevs. Service is quite fast. read more

No, Dick's drive-in is NOT closed due to COVID-19 as of Summer 2021. Where else can you go in Seattle at 1:30 in the morning and get a 1950's style burger, fries and a shake? You already know. That's why you're reading this. Probably the best chocolate shake known to mankind, made with real ice cream and milk. MMM mmm M mmm. read more

got the deluxe and cheeseburger. overall, they were fine patties. I also got their french fries. i am going to assume that their style of fries are soggy and limp. The fries were ok for me, but it may steer away for others. i would say this is a slightly above average mcdonalds. If you are far from this franchise, i wouldn't really travel to see what the fad is. However, if you are nearby and were to decide this and mcdonalds, i'd go for this for burgers. can't go wrong with prices even though it has risen. read more

Really great experience at Dicks! The staff were very friendly and gave us an extra fry because they were out of cheeseburgers. The service was very quick :) read more

Either the fastest thing that ever happened to you or tragicomically long and confused. There is rarely an in between.

Again Food and service were faboo. But I can't understand a toilet seat covered in water. I really can't. I work out of my city vehicle all day at various locations and do not have easy access to a restroom. Up until recently, Dick's has been one of my go-to spots as it was clean, had parking, and bonus: had lunch! No more. Nothing changed this last visit except the counter was dry. Toilet bowl was still dirty. Water everywhere on the floor and the toilet. It actually feels dirty. TTFN read more

What's not to like? Simple, flavorful burgers. Yummy fries. Thick milkshakes. The perfect little quick meal. Fast and friendly service. Small line, we waited less than five mins though and our food was served right away. No frills- just a tasty meal. read more

We had been craving dicks drive in since we left Seattle a year ago, and we finally got to return. Wondering if it would be as good as we remembered, we ordered a deluxe and a plain cheeseburger with fries. I also tried out a chocolate shake. Just as good as we remembered. For fast food, these are great burgers at a great price. I definitely recommend trying them out, especially if you are not from the area. read more

Great place for some yummy fast food! I'd never had Dick's before moving to Seattle, and I'm so glad to have found this spot. There's easy, ample parking to start, but it can still get packed during lunch hours! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and service is insanely fast. I usually get the fries and a chocolate shake, and neither have ever disappointed. The fries are soft, flavorful, and piping hot! The shake is creamy, sweet without being overbearing, and incredibly delicious. If you're adventurous, try dipping the fries in the shake - they are the perfect combo. I absolutely love this spot and will keep coming back! read more

Our Airbnb host recommended to come here and I was excited to try it. Ordered the deluxe dicks cheeseburger and fries. I should've known it was bad when my order came out within a minute. Burger was lackluster in flavor and small for the price. Fries were oversalted and old. I was sad to have spent my taste buds on this. read more

Dick's Drive-In - Dick's deluxe cheeseburger and french fries - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Longggg overdue review for this Dick's location! Used to go a lot for munchies when I was living nearby a few years ago. As a Californian resident, you can't really compare In N out and Dicks. Dicks is a lot more comparable to McDonalds. Food comes out right after you pay, since the staff just keeps pumping out burgers. This time around, we stopped by during COVID. Staff was all masked up. There was quite a crowd at around 9-10pm ish. Big parking lot. We opted for cheeseburgers and fries. I'm not a huge fan of their Deluxe burgers because of the sauce they use. Doesn't taste too great to me. Cheeseburgers are a perfect 6-7 bites. Fries are far superior to In N Out's fries. Girlfriend likes their milkshakes a lot (lactose so can't try :) ) Dick's is awesome for a quick bite or some late night munchies! This location definitely keeps it consistent! read more

I'm not going to pretend that Dick's is amazing or the best thing ever but I do enjoy it from time to time. I like this location because it *usually* doesn't get too crowded. I also like that they gave us the freshest fries last time we were there. I usually go with the cheeseburger and my boyfriend likes the deluxe. It's definitely no frills for those who haven't been here before. They don't really do additions/substitutions. You just go up and if you want extra anything, they serve it on the side. It's made to order, so you get your food right away. All in all, I'm happy I have this location within walking distance. read more

Dick's Drive-In - Deluxe and Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I forgot to take photos but this place was recommended by my bfs boss and it was so cheap so we decided to try it. The fries were highly recommend and I do think that was the best part of the meal. It had a slightly burnt taste and is closer in taste to five guys fries, which is good. The not so great part - so this place is fast because everything was pre made and when you order they just take it out and give it to you. This includes the milkshake that they keep in a fridge and so is all melted when we got it. The burger was just slightly better than McDonald's so it's ok. Nothing too great. But it is super cheap. read more

Don't be fooled by my picture or others that make the burgers look simple, the flavor complexity of the sauce in the deluxe burger is incomparable. I can see why Dick's is so popular, the burgers hit the spot and they're also priced at an accessible price point. I wish they had combo offerings but truth be told I prefer the a la carte style ordering so I'm not stuck with a drink I don't like haha. The fries are also delicious, not too salty or soggy, they have the perfect amount of crisp. read more

Dick's Drive-In - Dick's Deluxe Burger and fries - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We just moved to the Seattle area and trying out all the restaurants that people recommend to us. Dick's was one of those places. A Seattle staple folks would say to us. We are always up for a good burger so we took it upon us this Labor day to stop by. Tons of folks lined up (socially distant of course with cloth face coverings). 3 lines to be exact and they were constantly moving. Their menu is simple offering burgers, fries and shakes (and of course ice cream too). Their set up is reminiscent of the old burger drive through places. Although this is a "drive in" you physically have to get out of your car to order. They have several different locations and interestingly prices differ by location. We ordered the Deluxe burger which had everything in it. There's also a Supreme, cheeseburger and a plain burger depending on how many toppings you like. I got 2 which was perfect. They're a little bigger than a slider but smaller than a standard burger. Prices aren't too expensive. People told me to compare this to In & Out and that it's possibly the best burger they've had. Unfortunately setting that expectation so high was simply not going to work. While I was OK with the burger, it did not live up to expectations unfortunately. Their special seasoning in there had a little cinnamon and maybe even some nutmeg which put me off a little. The patty itself was good and all the ingredients fresh. I finished eating everything but I couldn't really see myself going back. I think that a lot of folks who eat here have been coming by Dick's for quite some time. It's the nostalgia factor that I think keeps bringing folks back. I get it! I have a lot of those places in mind. Am I going to bring someone from out of town by? Probably not since Seattle has tons of delicious places to explore. As a burger it's A-OK but not my fav. read more

Good simple burger lol very small. Just a good burger! Fry's lol on the great side. Love real fries!

Every five years I try to give them the benefit of the doubt ('maybe I left the fries in the bag too long?'). And every five years I eat their food and am again flabbergasted as to why people love this place. This is consistently mediocre food ... and I don't mean compared to 'restaurant' food, I mean it's consistently mediocre for cheap drive-in food. The fries are always soggy, the burgers are greasy flavorless blobs, and the shakes are cut-rate McDonald's imitations. Seriously, go to any other local drive-in and there's a 90% chance you'll find better everything. But more than that ... this is Seattle! There are a hundred other amazing places to go. Go to Un Bien or something. Don't waste your life here. And for the love of God don't tell tourists to go here. The fact that that happens is one of Seattle's greatest shames. read more

Solid and quick burger joint located conveniently in the Ballard neighborhood. Open until 2 AM; perfect for a late night bite. There are no tables available. I noticed a few people eating at the bar table styled edge on the side. Would probably be better to take it home or to one of the parks in the area! The burgers are made a bit ahead of time so you get your food almost instantly. The patties are small, so if you are fairly hungry I would recommend getting the deluxe which comes with two patties. I liked that the special included lettuce, relish and mayo. But there is no option to add cheese. The regular cheeseburger reminded me of a fancier McDonalds burger. I found the fries to be a bit soggy. The strawberry shake was tasty. They also sell ice cream cones with a wide variety of flavors! read more

Delicious burgers the service is ultra fast and the price is low I enjoyed it. Recommendation def

The Champagne of burgers & fries in Ballard. Having grown up on DICK's burgers I consider myself a spokesman for the best late night greasy fries & burgers joint around. Now I'll grab a Dicks Deluxe anytime of day, yet nothing tops off a night of boozing & chasing women like the taste of Dicks Drive Inn at 1:30 in the morning. There's nothing like the power of 2 meat patties, lettuce cheese & sauce slapped onto a bun, fresh cut fires and served with either a Coke or handmade strawberry milkshake to cap off a prefect night. Well, only one thing better is when you've manage to have a special friend with you ( wink wink ) to share it with. Not much has changed over the years. Dick's has manage to keep a very basic menu with 4 choices. The Hamburger , Cheeseburger, Special & Deluxe are your Burger choices along with french fries that are hand cut from fresh potato's on the premises for quality. Ice cream scoops & milkshakes for those desiring something sweet or if your maintaining a vegan diet yet just wanna participate in the institution. Parking is on the premise so you won't have any worries about parking. Meals are served fast and hot. And on occasion you may wait in line but that's cause others want what you want. Remember DICK'S m is so iconic that Sir Mix A Lot & Macklemore has shoot MTV videos here. So get your DICK'S ON!!!! Damn now I'm hungry so I'm off for the big tasty. read more

Great burger and fries, a Seattle institution not to be missed!! The family and I will drive over from Issaquah to eat here. The service is soooo fast, the people are friendly, and the food is just perfect. If you are local or visiting you owe it to yourself to check Dicks out! Be sure to order a deluxe and maybe share the fries, they can be a lot to tackle by yourself. A milkshake is a great way to wash things down, strawberry is excellent. read more

Another Dick's location visited for many years, especially when The Homie was a small kiddo sitting in back of my former Jeep. Today is National Cheeseburger Day. Stayed home today because of a wicked cold, but The Homie requested that I stop by the Crown Hill / Holman Road location afterschool. Two cheeseburgers, two fries, a chocolate milkshake, and a hot fudge sundae for a little over $14. Tasty sundae to soothe my sore throat and a few fries. The rest nearly hoovered by The Homie....teenager appetites! It's an indie, reliable, fresh, and tasty whether here or from the other Seattle locations (Wallingford, Queen Anne, Capitol Hill, Lake City) and Edmonds. I like how they treat their employees well and contribute to many comnunity causes. Looks like by next year a next location will open in Kent. read more

A burger joint from another era and which is doing a steady and very COVID-cautious business right now, Dick's offers basic burgers, fries, and shakes for quick pick up. We grabbed exactly that and enjoyed them at the lovely Carkeek park down the road. A really unique and cool thing about this place is watching them put a whole potato in a machine and it coming out as future french fries that are going to go in our mouth a few minutes later. read more
