I'm going to be honest I was super disappointed with this. This place has been on my list for a while now after seeing they had twist cones and delicious looking food. But I was super disappointed with the results of our visit. I came around 7:00 at night for dinner and decided to go through the drive-thru for more of an experience. It took 30 minutes to get through the drive thru, which isn't a complaint of mine because the place lacked workers and it was super busy. I really enjoyed the vibe here it was super old-school retro looking and feeling. But for the food it was not great, first they didn't have twist cones because their ice cream was to soft. Second we ordered a chocolate shake and it was legitimately the worst chocolate shake I've had in my entire life. Like I honestly don't know how they screwed it up so hard because it had a great texture and consistency but it tasted like water. I feel like their other shake flavors may be better, but avoid the chocolate shake. For the burgers they were okay nothing great, also we asked for onions and for some reason they threw a whole hunk of an onion on our burger. And the fries were actually really good, hot and fresh though needed some more salt. My last add to my review was the price, insanely cheap like cheaper than McDonalds. I can see why people come here because for the quality I feel the price was super good, especially with other food choices in the area. Overall I wouldn't exactly recommend this place but I think it's super affordable and can see why people in the area like it. read more

Solid fast food choice. Burgers are made to order with lots of choices to individualize. Prices are very reasonable. This throwback to simpler times gets rated down for slow service, but since everything is made to order this should be expected. read more

Delicious. Pick-Quick does the trick every time. Seattle's best burger. The deluxe double cheeseburger is my favorite. Fries are also amazing although a tad greasy for some folks, like you might find in a 24 hour diner. Their milkshakes complete the whole tasty experience in a way that will make your eyes roll into the back of your head. Pick-Quick is a better value than other places and the flavor is far superior. Your taste buds will be delighted. read more

I love a drive thru in Seattle! I recommend getting a double since the burgers are tiny. Sauce was great, fries were great (would love them a bit saltier). I wish you didn't have to buy more sauce and it just came with it. They have great service and work as fast as they can, which was felt! The line did go into the street though, so this is definitely not super quick on a weekend night. read more

As a Los Angeles native with in n out burger coursing through my veins, pick-quick drive in was a spectacular competitor in the realm of no nonsense burgers. I came upon this place from recommendations if I wanted something close to the aforementioned chain. I previously had driven to Oregon 4 hours one way to obtain said burger when I had an insatiable craving. I was surprised how good this was! Just a place with a good burgers with no frills. Nothing fancy, just meat, cheese, and buns. Quick pick sauce is delicious to smother over the burgers or as a dipping sauce for fries. Loved their chili cheese fries and do opt to top them with sautéed onions, you won't regret it! read more

Solid 3.5 stars Menu is simple. Ingredients are fresh. Prices are fair. This small drive through is a nice stop along the urban winery route for a quick bite. Don't expect a super fast pace for turning out your food if it's a little busy. Staff are friendly here and are working hard! Paid $15 for a special shake and a double deluxe. While not the cheapest 'fast food' it was pretty tasty. I do wish the burger had some added mustard and ketchup. Burger was not soggy or greasy. Shake was thick! I couldn't drink it all but it was good. All in all I enjoyed it. Would certainly come back. read more

Amazing experience, service and food! Have food restrictions limited to typically organic so hesitant to try, but glad I did. Was depressed when I drove up today and there was a cone in the drive through. Whew! I was early so I waited. You can order at the window, online for pickup or the more popular drive through. Made to order and surprisingly quick. Not as expensive as I'd expect when compared to other fast food places. Great malts and shakes. Highly recommended and a Seattle must for anyone who wants to experience a little nostalgia with their delicious burgers or hotdogs. read more

Pick-Quick is one of my families go to when we crave a yummy hamburger. There is always a line, but it is never a long wait. The customer service is excellent. Let me tell you from the burger to the fries and milkshake--the freshness is on point and the taste brings us back time and time again. It's this cute little burger shake, that I am not sure how my daughter found it, but I'm glad she did. It's located just down the hill from our home and close to my daughter's job...so it's in an easily accessible area for us to enjoy a treat from Pick-Quick 2990 4th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98134 LadyFlava of LadyFlavaNews read more

Coming from SoCal I was really looking for something close to In-N-Out, and this was up there. This felt more homemade and fresher, I would definitely come again ! The service was fast and easy, the staff is really kind. It's just a drive through place but ambiance gives old timey retro. If you are thinking of going, I would definitely recommend read more

Typically this place is good and yummy but today I ordered a bunch of stuff for my husband and a DELUX hot dog with mustard added on for myself. I rarely get myself "junk food" so I was stoked. Before driving away I confirmed with the window guy you added mustard to the hot dog right? And he said ya! I proceed to drive away and when I'm a couple minutes away waiting at a light I get into that dog and bam! It's a naked original (not delux) dog with JUST mustard. So just saying I was devastated! No onions! No special sauce! No lettuce or tomatoes! So I ate that dog so sad driving home. Next time I'm checking everything in that damn bag before I drive away! So sad and dissatisfied read more

Folks. If you like burgers and haven't been here yet, this is a must try and take my word for it. You will love it. This is literally a drive through burger shack on an industrial section of Sodo. It's right off of fourth ave but don't miss it. It's tiny. There is no better burger in Seattle and you won't pay more than 10 bucks for it. Get a shake while you're at it. It's the perfect place to stop en route to the stadiums to fuel up so you don't wind up spending $100 at the game for a couple hot dogs. Service moves you through the drive through quickly and as far as ambiance, driving through that tiny little shack always makes me happy. read more

I love the burgers and fries. Staff is always friendly, but they do take their time filling your order so be prepared to wait.

Not sure why they haven't opened the lobby so its still drive through only. Which is some what convenient EXCEPT it takes forever and the hamburgers are always burned, the fries cold and the milkshakes are nearly melted. Dont go there. I used to drive out of my way but no more read more

The drive thru line can get pretty long but you can always order online or at the window. I recommend the deluxe cheeseburger! I got it lettuce wrap because of gluten allergies and it was so good. The fries are soggy/limpy and aren't as salty as other establishments. read more

Service was way, way too slow. 5 cars in front of me in the drive through should not mean a 1 hour wait for burgers & fries. Solid In-n-Out style burger & fries, but not worth the wait. My receipt said I ordered at 1:06PM, got to the drive through window at 1:48PM, didn't have food in my hand until 1:55PM?! You had almost an hour to cook it from the time I ordered! Somehow Burgermaster solved the mystery of cooking a made to order burger in less than an hour read more

Great classic fast food burger and fries and you can't go wrong with their shakes either

If you want that good old fashion, cook to order home made burger, fries, and shake. I recommend Pick-Quick here on 4th Ave! What I love about this pace is the food is always hot and fresh, the service is five star, and the place is very clean! Shout out to Ashton that works at this great establishment. He's one of the main reasons why I keep coming back. His customer service is impeccable! Keep doing a great job! That raise and a promotion is coming soon in your near future!! read more

We've been driving by this place forever and we finally decided to stop in. We were not disappointed! I will say you HAVE to order the Tarter sauce it's so good! I want to drench it on everything! The employee at the window was so accommodating and nice! I have a dairy allergy and they made sure to check the ingredients on the sauces for me. The tarter sauce and the quick pick sauce is dairy free. My partner got a blackberry milkshake and he thought it was pretty good. The burgers are very very filling I would probably only get a single next time. Overall, we will be back for sure. read more

Some days it's good and some days it's salty. Hit and miss. Only reason why I would give less stars read more

The place was busy at lunch time of course. So to get a cold burger and stale fries that tasted like they were cooked in rancid oil is not acceptable. This place used to be great. Not so much lately. read more

Love the burgers and fries. You can order your burger with grilled or raw onions and their plan burgers get demolished by my pups. Their ice cream is very thick and creamy which makes for perfect milkshakes. (I loooooove the Oreo milkshake) My biggest gripe is the wait is SO LONG. They need to figure out a faster way to service people. Like for real look into lean six sigma or something. That's the reason I'm docking 2 stars (otherwise it would be 5) Because it's absolutely ridiculous how long you have to wait....With your car on in the drive thru. I'm talking like 10min at least.... If you cant be "quick" then don't call yourself pick quick. There is nothing quick about this situation. EVER. Periodt. Protip (for myself too) is to order online maybe. Although I never plan on coming here it's usually a spontaneous decision when Im on my way home from home depot. read more

Wow!!! This place is a hidden gem. This is my first time eating here & I'm utterly impressed. I'm not an LA native, but I grew up spending my summers there every year & let me tell ya, this is as close as it gets! All the fixings & very fresh tasting. I ordered the deluxe cheeseburger & it had everything I needed for less than $5. Hate burger places that serve their cheeseburgers with only the patty, cheese, & sauce *cough* Dick's *cough*. Here I can just order one thing without having to list a bunch of add ons. I came on a Saturday afternoon, bit of a line but it went very quick. We were greeted with friendly service & got both our orders with no errors. Will definitely come back & recommend to friends, especially people from California. read more

Please. Please have the managers goe to Tootsies burger or a Frugal's and figure out what they are doing right and pick quick is doing wrong. I can't believe that it's this hard for a restaurant in a the very busy Sodi neighborhood to perform! There is absolutely no excuse that this place can't be a good old-fashioned drive-through burger joint. I can only imagine the crowds that would gather if it was like Frugals or Tootsies! Or even an In and Out! There would probably be car cruise in events and all kinds of things that would take place. I drive by there all the time and am constantly amazed that they are still able to stay in business. I'm not sure if they have very many repeat customers or if there is just enough traffic in this area of Seattle to have a constant flow of customers that don't know any better. read more

This place tries to be the In N Out of Seattle. That's a noble goal, honestly - and it was solid. First, it's in an EXTREMELY RANDOM location - like, in an industrial area, super far from anything relevant, and you pretty much have to drive (I think it's only a drive-thru?). There was a homeless person yelling as we were taking our order - awkward, but kind-of expected. It has a small menu like in n out - burgers, fries, shakes. The thing that stood out to me was the chili fries - so, that's what I got and they were really good. Got the double burger and it was also solid - like a classic style, small-ish, greasy-spoon kind-of burger with a good sauce. The fries and shakes were really excellent - much better than In N Out imo. read more

I'm a fan of this old school burger drive-in! And when I say drive-in, I mean, it's literally only a drive-thru service unless you count eating in your car somewhere nearby, which I imagine people do since there's no seating offered here. But don't let that discourage you from visiting PICK-QUICK Drive In. I was in the SODO area, running an errand and figured to check out PICK-QUICK, since I'm hardly in SODO. I came here soon after it opened and there were already two cars ahead of me. As the other reviews mentioned on here, it does take a bit to get your food. However, you can call ahead of time to order, in case you're on a time crunch. But know that the food is a wait because the food is made to order. And I don't know about you, but I'd rather wait for quality food than get something quick and mediocre. I ordered a double deluxe cheeseburger, fries and a side of the PICK QUICK sauce, which is basically upgraded fry sauce with pickle pieces! The PICK QUICK sauce was also on the burger, which made it even tastier. The burger itself was solid. I didn't even eat it right away, so I imagine it tasted much better in a parking lot somewhere in my car. But even then, I enjoyed my meal. I would suggest getting a double if you want a heartier meal since the patties are on the thinner side, but the double is filling. Like a standard, old school burger, it had lettuce, tomato, onion and their own house sauce. Fries weren't bad. Since I waited to eat util I got home, some of the fries were wilted and soft, but I could tell that the fries were anything but basic. And ya gotta have the fry sauce with! I saw that PICK QUICK is conveniently located near wineries and distilleries in SODO, so methinks a future visit will be in order since I'll need something to soak up all that booze after a day of drinking in SODO. But all I know is that this old school burger joint did not disappoint, and it's pretty cool that you can find this in the city of Seattle, since it very much reminds me of a burger joint you'd find in a small town. Affordable, simple and solid burgers and fries are to be enjoyed here! read more

Guess I saved the best for last! Cause hands down this is the best fast food cheese burger in all of Seattle no ifs ands or buts about it. Straight up classic. My only regret is not going here sooner.. Big time childhood vibes. This burger now stands alone at top of the burger chain. Almost drove back around to Get another 10/10 read more

Great ole fashioned burger joint. Quality food takes longer just be prepared to wait longer than a typical McDonald's.

This is a simple, no frills burger place. It's reminiscent of Dick's a little bit. You aren't getting a thick, juicy burger here. This is bare bones, simple burger action that is a really inexpensive lunch. You might have to be in a mood, but it fills a niche. read more

I like a place that has good burgers and fries. Pick-Quick delivers on that. They tout their dairy products as well. The prices are pretty good (see my receipt copy) and the menu is simple. They have hot dogs on the menu as well as burgers. Chili fries are also an option. I've been to their original Fife location a couple of times and loved it. There is an old school ambiance there and this company is locally owned. The service at this SODO location was very friendly and there was a reasonable drive thru wait. I had the Double Deluxe Cheeseburger and a Diet Coke. They ask if you want raw or grilled onions on the buger. I usually get grilled. The burger was satisfying and held together fairly well. Pick-Quick also has a points reward system where you collect 100 points and get a $10 credit. Just ask to sign up at the register. This place is worth a try. read more

Yes, 5 stars. Bear with me. Is this place Canlis? Of course not. Is it easy to mess up a simple burger and shake? Unfortunately, yes. The folks at PQ do 2 or 3 things well and nail them every time. They make great, normal, drive-thru hamburgers that are delicious, and they serve some of the most delectable shakes with them. My fave is a banana and hot fudge shake. It TASTES LIKE YOU'RE DRINKING A BANANA SPLIT, Y'ALL. Shout out to Joe who is a true milkshake artiste. Is this place McDonald's? Of course not. And Thank God. But... the food is prepared fresh. You *will* have to wait a few minutes. If that's gonna turn you into a Karen or Kevin or Kylie, well, Mickey D's is a few blocks north on the left. read more

This is the closest you will find to an In N Out burger while in Washington state! Solid basic burger and good shakes! Nice little outdoor seating area. Probably wouldn't come here after dark though not the safest area! read more

Burger was fine, fries fresh and tasty. But was stuck in line between cars with no escape for 20 minutes. This is beyond way too long, compared to somewhere like Dicks with similar quality. I would not be returning if the service is like this again, and never recommend based on the wait alone. So frustrated. read more

This place is a really good In-N-Out replacement in my opinion. I come here when I'm really craving and can't get down to Oregon for a fix. Nothing special or over the top. Just decent quality, tasty fast food. read more

The line was always long when we drove by this place so we figured it must be good and had to try it out! Very tasty burgers - pretty small patty so if you're looking for a lot of meat I would double or triple it up. All the toppings on the deluxe cheeseburger were flavorful! Fries were good as well! The chocolate shake and mountain blackberry shake also were delicious! Drive In or Walk Up only, I did not see any inside-seating. read more
