    Dick's Drive In Ornament

    Consistent, delicious food. Yummy chocolate shakes and fries. Quick service. Clean. Good people watching if you want to eat in your car.

    I wanted something quick and easy to eat on my ride back home, so we stopped by here. I got two Cheeseburgers and fries and my bf got his usual two Dick's Deluxes and fries. It was a Friday night, and was pretty packed. But there were many lines open, and we got in and out very quickly. I ate the one Cheeseburger with my side onions on the ride home, and was satisfied. I put the fries in the air fryer when I got home (I like crispy fries).

    Dick's is a Seattle staple and has multiple locations across Seattle. This location is in Lake City off of Lake City Way NE. There's no seating so most people either eat in their cars or take it to go. I got the Dick's deluxe, fries, and a strawberry shake. Normally I like the burger but this was just okay. The portion of fries was less than I've had and was lukewarm at best. The shake could've had more strawberry flavor. I've had better food at other Dick's locations and the food I had here was just okay. It also doesn't help that this location doesn't have seating.

    Not busy at all when we arrived, but while we were ordering, people started to walk in & it got busy. Pricing is very very cheap for the quality of food you get, but apparently they are trying to keep it at that price, since they've been in business. The cashier was very friendly & happy to answer any questions we had regarding the menu. They only serve burgers, so if you are looking for a "chicken" vegy meal, this is not the place for you, unless all you want is fries. They offer tartar sauce for dipping your fries. Not the whole fish & chips tartar sauce, it's a nice flavor of mayo & relish kinda dip. A ton of parking & there's not sitting unless you're eating in your car. This is a burger joint to visit if you're in Seattle. A must try

    A really great burger joint that has the simplest menu, great prices, and fast service! The burgers are so good, I really like the cheeseburger. The fries are pretty traditional potato fries. If you catch their food truck out and about be sure to grab yourself a burger. The lake city location today wasn't packed and we were able to get in and out. This place can get packed! Lines can form in the late evening hours and I can see why, the food is delicious.

    Don't get me wrong, Dick's is very good most of the time except this morning January 1st, 2025 around 10:30 AM. I went there to pick up (2) specials, 1 cheese and (2) fries. Everything tasted fine except for them fries. Either Dick's change their supplier again Or these fries are from last night. My usual fries from Dick's are limpy and kinda greasy. But what I have aren't even greasy. Almost like some of them store brand fries. Texture also different. Kinda weird.

    Loaded fries, various deluxes, specials and hamburgers topped with strawberriy and vanilla shakes.

    Can't go wrong with the iconic Seattle burger joint. We had a massive family to feed and they did well to pack it in a to go box to preserve the wholeness of each burger. I personally like a little more lights to brighten up the place and to keep it safe at night but this may be a personal note. Parking was hard to get in and out of compared to other locations.

    The disgusting Plain Cheese burgers that were not supposed to be Plain.

    Not sure what the situation was today with this location but this was hands down the worst experience I've ever had at a Dicks. I'll preface this review with - Dicks is not a gourmet fancy burger place. They don't take customizations. They are basic and standard and consistent and perfectly yummy. I've previously rated other locations 5 stars. So I know what I'm in for when I go to Dicks. That said - I went and ordered 10 Cheese and 1 Deluxe today. They didn't have any Cheese and offered me some random combination of Plain Cheese and hamburgers or to wait without any time frame. I chose to just wait. Fine. Whatever. I wait. I get the food. I leave. I get almost home and find they gave me 10 PLAIN Cheese. PLAIN cheese. Meaning no ketchup/mustard. Considering I had turned down Plain Cheese AND WAITED for (regular) Cheese - and the fact this is a place that charges for additional ketchup/mustard - they sure better refund me. I'll update this review if I hear back from them. Otherwise I won't be back to this location.

    I understand the history of this place in Seattle's culture, but I can't help to think it is the most average burger I've eaten. Of course you'd come here for cheap prices and fresh beef patties, but there's nothing too memorable in taste to make me crave it again. Note: They don't allow burger customizations. I'm not a pickle person, but it was tolerable as mixed in their "tartar" sauce. Not a personal fan of limp fries in general, but again it's cheap, salty and freshly made. The strawberry milkshake was average, I might even say it barely had any flavor aside from the vanilla base. This location has a large enough parking lot. Lines will build up quick, but goes by fast, assuming the person ahead of you isn't obnoxiously ordering 10+ burgers.

    It makes me sad to write this 2-star review because Bottega Italiana has been my favorite gelato…read moreshop in Seattle for the past 15+ years. 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.

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...)
