    Get drunk, get Dick's. I grew up on this place and it's definitely a local favorite. Their fries are always a salty sopping greasy mess and I absolutely love it. The burgers are small and mushy but always fill you up perfectly. The line up to the window can be long, but you get your food within a minute of ordering. Not sure if Dick's lives up to market price now but it's an addiction that I have to feed every time I visit home.

    Burger is unique to the area and has a distinctive taste. Fries are cut fresh everyday. The milk shakes are amazing. The service is second to none. One of the most consistent fast food joints I've been to. This particular location featured Sir Mix a Lot and crew back in the late 80s. It looks for the most part the same. Just walk up and order. They have places to stand and eat directly up front

    Dick's Drive In is an absolute Seattle staple and one of my go to spots for a late night treat. You really cannot beat the prices, especially these days. The burgers are solid and consistent every time, simple, no frills, and exactly what you are craving after a long day or night. I especially love their greasy fresh cut fries. They are perfectly salty and hit that classic drive in vibe. This time I also tried a huckleberry ice cream cone and it was delicious, sweet, a little tangy, and a great finish to the meal. Just do not forget, it is 5 cents for ketchup! Very on brand and honestly part of the charm. It is not gourmet, but that is not the point. It is affordable, nostalgic, and reliably satisfying. Definitely a Seattle classic for a reason.

    Dicks Drive In is always a good spot to grab a quick bite to eat. I always order a Cheeseburger and Fries, along with the Tartar Sauce. The Customer Service is Good. You can eat outside, there isn't any seating inside or out but there is a Table Top you can stand and eat at. I always eat in my car. Parking is OK, I mean I always find parking up front, Diners come and go so fast. They are having a Halloween special if your child is 13 and younger of you Trick or Treat in costume you get a Free Cheeseburger.

    Cheap, dependable, and a staple of Seattle. Never been during the wee hours of the night, but both times I visited this during off-peak hours were quite empty. Friendly staff and security posted up. Cap Hill location definitely gets rowdier during weekend nights. Don't expect the world's greatest burger, but do expect to get your cheap and greasy meal itch scratched.

    Stuck at a hotel with no access to food, I reacquainted myself with DoorDash, and found this option 0.7 miles from Virginia Mason. I loved Dick's Drive-In as a kid, but as an adult, the burgers are just average. I had a strawberry milkshake, and my mom had a chocolate milkshake. We both thought they were just kind of average. The fries, however, were spectacular! I can see why there's a limit of 15 orders of fries per DoorDash order. Fifteen seems excessive, until you taste them. I wanted a Special with cheese, but that wasn't an option, so I got a Special and a cheeseburger. I also got onion cups and ketchup and tartar sauce cups. The tartar sauce is weird. It's kind of blah. I definitely recommend the onion cups, though.

    Place looked busy, so we decided to try. Saddest looking and tasting burger I've ever had. Fries were soggy.

    If you're looking for that old school, simple, straightforward burger joint, check out Dick's. I was told this place was popular but didn't realize how much until I saw the line to place your order. Long line but moved pretty quick. Burgers, fries, shakes. Keep it simple. The burgers are a bit smaller but the flavor is great! Can easily eat more than a few. I was visiting family and they wanted me to check this place out. To quote them, "let's go grab a bag of Dick's".

    I'm a bit disappointed by this historic burger chain... I mean it's super fast and convenient but absolutely underwhelming in terms of taste and presentation. I had a Dick's Deluxe and I was immediately given one that was ready, Mc Donald's style. I was not expecting it, I thought they'd make it to order. The patties were very small and the overall look was really sad. And no bacon wtf! Ultimately the taste was ok, but boy was it an underwhelming experience... I guess it's my fault, I had different expectations. I was thinking something like Burgermaster. To be fair though, it's dirt cheap, so maybe I have to recalibrate my assessment.

    A solid, cheap little burger chain that's serving up STELLAR shakes (seriously the vanilla shake is heavenly), good little burgers, and homemade fries. There is nothing fancy about Dicks. But it doesn't claim to be. They do a few things really well done. And do it quickly. There's a ton of people here getting food for a reason. Cheap eats done well. I'm glad my Seattle local friend said we had to stop by!

    What is it that makes this place iconic? I have had better tasting food elsewhere. There was nothing good or even remotely iconic about this place. If you are standing by these undercooked limp oily fries and the tartar sauce burger then you're clearly doing something special to market yourself as iconic. I cannot believe people stood in long lines waiting for this mess of a meal.

    A Seattle classic. I lived behind this location for close to a decade. I've easily eaten thousands of their burgers and I would eat a thousand more. They are the perfect ratio of meat to bun and well priced. They also treat their employees extremely well with competitive pay and benefits including tuition. This is the type of local business people should be supporting.

    My hot take is that Dick's is better than In-N-Out. This Dick's is a prime location for a late night snack after a night of drinking or clubbing. If you're coming here, you know what you're getting yourself into. The place is a bit sketchy but the food is still good and the service is fast.

As you can see from my review years ago, when my hubs and I came back from a trip to Italy, we wanted to find a gelato shop that had the same quality as the shops in Rome. Not all the gelato and sorbetto we had in Italy was good, some flavors tasted artificial, and during our time there, we learned how to tell the good from the meh. When we returned to Seattle, we were happy to find great-Italy-like gelato at the Bottega Italiana in Green Lake. After that shop closed (still sad about that!) we started going to their other shop by Pike Place Market. For years, this place featured delicious, fresh, quality gelato and sorbetto that tasted like the flavors they were labeled with--so strawberry tasted like eating real strawberries and so on. But on a recent visit, I got a small cup with strawberry and raspberry-dragon fruit and the first flavor I got when I tasted it was sugar. As I ate more of it, it started to remind me of Jolly Rancher candies, not totally, but enough to turn me off. They use just enough fruit to make you believe it's the flavor that it's labeled with, but the amount of sugar and other things added makes their fruit flavors as meh as the not-so-good shops we learned to avoid in Rome. Alas, I think my favorite gelato shop in Seattle has fallen prey to profit over quality. Why, Bottega Italiana, why??? It makes me and my hubs very sad. The only reason I am giving two stars instead of one is because the service was friendly and efficient, and my hubs's dairy-based gelato flavors were all right--not great but all right. Over the years, we've tried all the other gelato shops in Seattle and none of them measure up either. I guess it's time we take another trip to Italy.

I got a scoop of their marionberry swirl and had a taste of my bestie's salted caramel gelato. Both were really good though my marionberry had a lot more taste and wasn't as sweet as the salted caramel. Staff up front were very patient with us when we asked to try several of their flavors at once.

When I mentioned that I had asked for vanilla, she rolled her eyes and went back to chatting while I stood there waiting. Another employee eventually stepped in and remade it, but the sundae was missing the nuts. At that point I didn't feel like asking again, so I just left. The sundae itself was also pretty underwhelming compared with what I remember from when they first opened. Overall, the place feels like it has gone downhill a lot. It makes sense now why it was empty on a warm weekend evening, when this same spot used to have lines out the door.

After learning about Hello Robin some months ago, I decided I had to make my way there one Saturday. A bit of a hike for me, but never too much for a good chocolate chip cookie. In fact, never too much for an average one either - because, let's be honest, even an average chocolate chip cookie is wonderful if you're an office chair. Not peeking the menu before I went, I was pleasantly surprised at the varieties of chocolate chip cookies they had to offer. Being the office chair I am, I swiveled left and right, inspecting the entire display, and ended up getting one of each (ok, that's a lie... I got 4 of each ). While each of them were great, the Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip cookie got me. The whole wheat offered something a bit different - a bit more of a nutty earthiness that you typically get with a brown butter chocolate chip cookie, but also with the pleasant illusion that I was making a healthy choice by going whole wheat. So, if you're an office chair like me roll on over to Hello Robin. You'll be glad you did. (Final note: I really tried to work in a "lumbar" pun, but didn't feel it provided much support to the actual review...)
