    eat it now
    Lynn M.

    Bro I cant tell you again... this is the best burger in Seattle. everyday, every year - the sun always be shining on this spot in Sodo. Take a mental health day and go to Costco and then stop by and get Seattles best burger (grass fed). They have a walk up window and a drive thru ( no bathroom so plan accordingly). The best local ice cream and shake add-ins. Lets GOOO ! Ive been seeing the same employees for years so I hope they are taking good care of them. the service is great and efficient- I cant imagine how many burgers are pumped thru this drive thru.

    A decent burger joint couldn't complain and couldn't brag it's a decent burger if you happen to be in the area walk up and drive through only fries were good they use real potatoes staff was super nice traded my shake when I didn't like the flavor and there's a parking lot for easy parking and eating

    This place reminds me of in and out with dick's(seattle burger shop) swag. Not because they taste the same, but its just the feeling my eyes and taste buds have. My partner got similar vibes. Fun fact, ive Been coming to this place ever since I was old enough to drive. Maybe 20 years now, unless im mistaken. Maybe once a year. Its not the best food in the world, but its good and different enough that I eventually start to crave it. Probably because they dont put soggy mayo sauce based lettuce on every burger by default. I enjoyed how fresh everything looks and tastes. Many small burger shops can be overly soggy and greasy, but luckily thats not the case at this quick burger joint. They dont have an interior dining space, only outdoor picknick seating so be ready for that. I believe it used to be drive through only, but they eventually converted it to walk up orders only. Might be why the name is pickquick lol. Luckily the old drive thru is used as a covering when you order and wait seeing how it rains so much in washington. Ps, everything looks small when they start cooking so dont let your eyes trick you into ordering extra food. Ylih yea, and They also make a decent milk shake. Strawberry pineapple for the win.

    Double cheeseburger
    Harun O.

    Came here as i was told it is a good inn n out substitute as someone who always misses La Inn n Out. For those of you who are expecting to dine in - heads up - this is a drive through only burger spot in Sodo. It has a very classic and retro vibe and there is space to eat outside at the parking lot ( no seats) There was about 5-6 car line when we got in the line ( Sunday night) and waited maybe 5-10 mins. Ordered delux cheeseburger with triple patties, grilled onions , pickles and pick quick sauce. My inn n out reflexes also made me say "chopped chilli" expecting chopped pickled chilli pepper , however instead ended up getting a red sauce with ground meat ( chilli topping) - that was my bad. Overall solid burger, patties are thin - very similar to inn n outs. Buns were toasted. Maybe a little bit on the pricier side as I ended up paying 19$ for just 2 cheeseburgers (a double patty and triple patty)

    Delicious burger!!! Location is a bit far but worth the drive. Would come again and reorder the cheeseburger and fries.

    You either do Pick-Quick or you don't. I do. I like the old style flat burgers, and yes, they are thin, so I like to stack a second or a third patty for a double or a triple. The shakes and soft serve are a definite yes. I am some-timey about the fries because of personal preference. I like a crispier fry or a crinkle cut, but they are still good. This is a drive thru place, and there is parking if you want to pull over and eat it there. I love the vintage look of their neon signs, and after all, it is a vintage kind of place in business for over 65 years. I get very friendly service at the window. My only struggle is I always call it Quick Pick instead of Pick Quick.

    Single deluxe cheeseburger

    We've wanted to try this place when but the line is always so long. Today we got our break. I'm a 5'1 female so their deluxe single cheese burger with grilled onions was a perfect portion. My husband said he'd go for the triple deluxe next time because the patties are small. It was a really good burger. The fries were old fashioned shoe string and very tasty.

    mocha milkshake
    Joy P.

    driving down 4th ave s i was hit by an urge for a milkshake and while there's very little besides shakes and fries on the menu for vegetarians, this hit the spot in terms of flavor options and relative ease of procurement on a sunny monday afternoon. i opted for a 16oz mocha (extra charge flavor option) milkshake and that's what i got. good flavor and consistency. so much so that by the time i got off the west seattle bridge at the delridge exit that milkshake was HISTORY: i'd sucked it all down!

    This review is solely based on their milkshakes. THESE ARE SOME GOOD MILKSHAKES. I couldn't decide on a flavor so I got banana and chocolate malt. Both were thick and creamy. The perfect consistency! Banana is made with actually bananas and has chunks....CHUNKS. The chocolate malt has a strong malt flavor and I like it. Solid milkshakes. Gettemmmm

Sadly not really a fan of just dining in while in SODO but happy to grab an order to go. The better half loved her enchiladas and my sopes were solid too. Enjoyed having a choice of sauces / salsas / pickled carrots and peppers too. They forgot my drink (it was some kind of special) but I forgot to ask for it and didn't even remember until I got home. D'oh! Not to worry - the value was strong in any event.

Highlights: Alibertos is a chain Mexican restaurant with locations throughout Seattle and south of Seattle, including Renton, and I believe they also operate in California. The portion size on the carne asada fries was very large and easily shareable. I liked that they used skinny fries, and the carne asada itself was soft and tender. What fell short: The meat was noticeably salty, which threw off the balance of the dish. Limes were not automatically included, and I had to ask for them. The guacamole tasted similar to store bought versions, like the ones from Costco, and did not taste like it was made primarily from fresh avocados. Overall: This is filling and convenient if you are craving a large portion of Mexican food, but the quality feels inconsistent. It works in a pinch, though it is not a place I would go out of my way for.

The ambiance and food is usually fine, but the service could use some work... Looks like they've gotten new staff since I've been gone. I get the same meal from this place every time I come (through the mobile app). I took some time off to diet, and when I came back to order my meal (Big Mac with no bun and extra lettuce, meat, and Mac sauce, they essentially stuffed it in a Big Mac box. Mind you, I'm paying an extra 3 dollars for these ingredients. I knew I was getting skimped because the ingredients would only fit on a platter. I sent the meal back twice because they literally just remade the meal twice then told me that they "don't have platters". And to get a refund, which I can't do on the MCDS app. I call the manager over and he has them remake it. What a surprise, the meal comes on a platter. Nothing makes me more disappointed than being flat out lied to by workers. Had the manager not come and personally resolved the issue, I probably would have sworn to never come here again. I'll give this place another chance sometime in the future.

    I mean, theoretically, what's there to not like? I need fries and a burger and it's 11pm? Oh look,…read moreFat Shack's open! AND they have deep fried Oreos??? Sign me up. The restaurant itself leaves a lot to be desired, but I'm not asking too much. I believe the owner said he was trying to revamp the place. I hope that the area comes alive in the future years, that should help. Here's the issue though, this is the slowest spot ever. I've waited 30 minutes for fries - FRIES. I don't mind waiting for food, but it should remain reasonable. There were only two or three people working, and one man did tell us this, but I need to be honest - this was on Super Bowl Sunday. No one was able to get anyone a beer from the tap for 40 minutes, the food took forever and it appeared that online orders were being prioritized (which makes sense, you make as you get orders coming in, but that puts your in person customers in an odd and sometimes frustrating position). To be honest, I probably wouldn't have minded as much if I just had some fries to snack on. I didn't mind as much this one time because I was just happy to find a place to watch the Super Bowl Half Time show, but other days, it's a little hard to look past. I wish this business the best, I live too close to not hope for its improvement! Looking forward to updating my review. At the end of the day, if you're hungry, it's late, this is your spot.

No Philly cheesesteak. So I asked, "If you didn't have Philly cheesesteak, why didn't you tell me that when I ordered it?" He said, "I don't know, I can put it on the side if you'd like." I said, "I thought you didn't have any Philly cheesesteak?" He walked away, came back with a side of Philly cheesesteak, and told me to put it on the sandwich myself. For $19, I shouldn't have to assemble my own sandwich -- especially after being told you didn't even have the main ingredient. Just be upfront with customers.
