Dick's Drive-In — Restaurant in Seattle

Some people say this is "drunk food," but as an outsider, my first time experience today was eye opening!

The prices were completely reasonable. Don't you hate it when a place charges you $1.50 for some fried onion or mushrooms on your burger? Because we both know, it costs you 20 cents or less. $1 to make it spicy!? (Im looking at you Nasai Teriyaki). Dick's does 5 cents for onions. Now that makes sense.

Good prices plus the Dick's in Seattle still manage to pay their workers $15. (NOW I'm looking at you McD's on 145th and Bothell, nearly doubling the same everywhere $1 to a $1.85 McChicken to compensate for paying your workers the new minimum.)

The portions were smaller, but the quality is great for a small and quick burger joint. I think the smaller size somehow improves your experience. Don't even compare it to your McDonald's or BK - it's on a whole other level. If you're high or extra hungry, order 3 or 4 burgers, as 2 burgers and 1 fries seems to staisfy me at a normal hunger.

Lastly, the people were nice! Very courteous. And even though the menu is as simple as toast, I still had questions. And they happily answered them, smiled, and were very pleasant. Genuine.

I will happily be going back and I finally understand why Dick's drive in is a...

High satisfaction, low-brow. Preferred over my previous go-to fast food joint of McDonalds. I love the food here, as do many across the country, despite it only being a Washington local chain. The burgers are delicious, sometimes a bit messy and ugly, the fries are a must have, some people don't get it and sometimes they're not as crispy as you'd hope, shakes are a bit runny, but you can slurp them down fast through a straw. Overall I wish they changed things up once in a while (i.e. fresher additional onions (they're pretty slimy and watery where i was hoping for fresh and crisp), options for drinks in sealed, to-go bottles (the crushed ice in the cups makes it go flat really quick especially if i'm on the go), and maybe an item with bacon on it (what no bacon? I like bacon). But despite any faults, the people are good, the service is fast, the food fills you up (not like McDonalds), and this place will remain like a member of my family, a staple in the life of a Pacific...

I've been living in Seattle as of this coming June some 30 years plus . Lower Q.A. , then Crown Hill, now Lake City. & honestly, the the fact that there was a Dick's Drive-in within walking distance of each apartment building was not a motivational factor. Back in the day, I truly loved the taste of a Delux or a cheese burger on a late night of beer and good times when at my neighborhood pub. But last week, I put an order for ten burgers, $ 29 & Chang, thinking they would need some time l stepped to the side. I've tried to understand why, but for whatever reason, I saw over 20 customers, at least 35 different burger choices completed. It was then that I asked the young man who took my order, " What's Going On? " After a 10 minute wait, the young man stood at the assembly point and filled 2 bags of 5 each. Was it my fault for being raised at a time when customer service was not ... "Whatever I get...
