This place is like "Washington State's in-n-out"! (I'm sorry if somebody doesn't like to say that) I and my husband missed our lunch and getting hungry, but just wanna have snack size eating. There are enough parking spaces close to here, and we saw people come and go, come and go. This place is only to go, menu is very simple, so after you order the meal served so quick. If you'd like to eat there, both side of the order counter, there is a counter space and you can eat there (no chair). And also there is a bathroom just side of the counter. I ordered Dick's special(one patty, lettuce, mayonnaise, chopped pickle) and my husband ordered Cheese burger plain(one patty, cheese, no condiments) and we both chose Coke. It was quick to ready our order. My husband was so happy for his plain cheese burger because he is picky -no need veggies and sauce for the burger that he said- It's not fancy burger but I like it! Just quick snack, not heavy and yummy! read more

Not trying to be indecent, so my apologies in advance, but i happened upon here tonight because I came this way to meet up with a guy for a date, my first real one in a very long time. I got all sexy for him and he kept me waiting, waiting and waiting... said he would meet me at this other place on Pacific Hwy in 45 minutes then 30 min later said it would actually be another hour because he didn't realize he was so far away from that place then that whole hour almost went by when he texts that it will be another hour now because he went the wrong way -ugh! I waited all this this time for him and didn't eat and was hungry and decided I wasn't gonna let him waste anymore of my valuable time but no matter what I was still gonna get some d*ck tonight... and I did ... I got a whole bag of them in fact ! While still a little annoyed with the date situation, I was satisfied with this meal. If you haven't yet, go get you a bag of dicks- you deserve it ! read more

If you want a burger that tastes like nothing, this is the place to go. I'm not sure what's happened and when they changed their recipes, but it's not what it used to be. They no longer put onions on the burger, instead you get a slop in a 2 oz container. The fries were all mushy, this can be from dropping the fries too early when the oil isn't hot enough. I wasn't able to eat them at all. The burgers themselves had no flavor, no salt or pepper, just patty thrown down, and overcooked. It seems very sloppy and lazy. The price increase is not worth it, I recommend going to the Seattle location if you want to enjoy this meal. read more

I was excited to try this place at least once while visiting Seattle. Note that there is no seating but we just opted to stand near the parking lot. I decided to get the deluxe burger with a side of onions and fries. It seemed like they have a bunch of burgers and fries already made, as you'll get your order immediately after you pay. That also probably means no customizations, although I didn't try myself. The burger was quite juicy but nothing spectacular. I was not expecting the onions to be diced and put into a small container, which makes it hard to use. The fries were a good consistency for my liking. Not too soft, not too crispy. I did expect there to be more but it was quite a small portion. I also got a scoop of mint chocolate chip on a cone, which was super satisfying. The scoop was quite large, especially for the price. I'm glad I tried Dick's at least once but I definitely think there are better burger fast food places. read more

I love these Dicks restaurants . They're always so good so so good. Did you know that you can get a meal for $10 or less ask them when you go there it is not that expensive. The lines are not that long and employees always have a smile on their face. Their fries are terrific. Their hamburgers are nice and fresh and their shakes are to die for. This restaurant is always clean when I go there no matter if I look to see in their cooking area it looks spotless and I absolutely love that. Try this place. You might fall in love with this great food. read more

One of my favorite places to go for a burger. It's a drive in situation where you walk up to the front to order. There's no outside seating but you can see people eating inside their car or on their car on a dry day. I like to get a cheeseburger which is such a basic, simple cheeseburger. I also like the special which has their special lettuce, relish, mayo mixture with the patty. Their fries are freshly cut and fried. They're not crispy crispy, but there are some crispy bits. I LOVE their strawberry milkshake. It's such an iconic Seattle staple and I'm glad there's more locations popping up. read more

Thing 1( some lady) and Thing 2 (secerity guard) I just wanted to use the bathroom and I had my electric bike with me. so I wanted to bring my bike in and the Thing 1 said I couldn't bring my bike in so I did it anyways. When I came out Thing 2 also tried to tell me I couldn't and said he can watch it. I don't understand why I couldn't bring my bike in.

This Dick's location is walk-up order only. No drive-thru. No tables. A fair amount of parking is available next to the building and across the parking lot roadway behind the building. Prices are good for a burger. They seem to put the emphasis on speed of service. When we ordered they told us what was ready to go if wanted to change our order. There was a mix up with our order that became a nuisance for everyone. Staff in the back assist the cashiers, reading what is being ordered from the register screen and bag it up before the order is complete. We ordered a cheese burger, a 'special', one fry and two milkshakes. The cashier heard "six specials' not 'a Dick's special" and rang in seven burgers. When the cashier read back the order we corrected the order to one special, not 6, and paid. Meanwhile, the assiatant had bagged up three 'specials' that were already made thinking we ordered six, gave the bag to the cashier and the cashier handed the bag to us through the order window. Now I have four burgers instead of two. I tried to return the two extra burgers and she took the whole bag. O.M.G. Can I have the ones I paid for back please? That was too much confusion for one small order. We took our food over to a small counter at the side of the building, near the public restrooms. Napkins are next to the order window. None are put in the bag so get yourself some. Fries are pre-salted and additional salt is not an option. Ketchup can be ordered for a small fee. Burgers are 1/8lb and well cooked. Not dried out. I don't believe they are seasoned. Plenty of mayo on the special, shredded lettuce and dill pickle relish were also liberally applied on a soft bun. Bun to burger ratio is OK. Milkshakes were thick and tasty. Fries are thin cut fresh potato and a bit 'floppy', not crisp. Trash, recycle and compost bins are near the restrooms and the parking area. read more

Deluxe was delicious and the fries are perfectly crispy & soft. Strawberry milkshake is yummy and not too thick today! No sitting area, just a pick up area. read more

Dick's Drive-In - Deluxe & Fries - Fast Food Near Me - Federal Way, Washington

I finally was able to stop off for the first time to get an EPIC fast food burger and more. I've been told the burgers were hot n fresh and the fries were better than in and out. So, I started to ordered plain 2 hamburgers, then I was told they were none available but I could get a cheeseburger? No I'll wait. In addition, I ordered fries and a shake. Minutes later a different person handed me my bag and my drink. After returning to my car and getting back into the heavy traffic. It was time to eat. I started off with the fries.... First issue, they were extra salty, limp and hardly warm. Figured the fresh hamburgers would be better. Not even close, I bit into a crunchy cold CHEESEBURGER! Where's my hot fresh hamburger? Finally I took a sip of the tasteless shake. Sadly, I had to stop at another place to get a bite to eat. read more

Overrated! Milkshakes are a win, everything else is not worth the hype other than for nostalgia sake.

We're on a weekend trip from San Diego and we're told Dick's Drive In is the local fast food chain. We went the day before and loved it so much that we came back again to a different location. This location seems newer located in the Amazon Fresh and Dick's Sporting Goods plaza. Has no drive thru and no seating. It's basically park, walk up, order, and leave. The menu is basic with 6 types of burgers ranging from $2.45 to $5.30, fries, ice cream, shakes and sodas. No combos, all a La carte. We got the 1/4 pounder deluxe which had two thin patties, cheese, lettuce, mayo and chopped pickles. I hate pickles but it was so well disguised by being chopped like relish and that sauce was the best part for me. The bun was soft. Also got the fries. Loved it. It's like, if McD and In n Out had a baby. Condiments cost extra and it comes in a container. read more

Tried this place because I know it's a popular chain restaurant in the area. Unfortunately, I was not too impressed. There was a weird taste to the burger and fries that I couldn't quite put my finger on? I was also informed they are known for their tartar sauce. It's yellow-ish in color and tastes very different from other tartar sauces. Sadly, it was not my cup of tea. The ice cream was decent though! We got coffee flavor. They have a lot of cool flavors and I am interested in trying different ones in the future! read more

Very good place for quick lunch Very nice service and very clean here and big parking lot read more

Just visiting from out of state, and this place was recommended for the best burgers around. Ummmm.... If you like a flavorless patty and overwhelming pickle flavor then maybe?! Don't ask for no mayo because they don't do customizations. My kid hates mayo, but loves veggies, so ordering the plain burger doesn't help either. The fries are a soggy mess, which we were told ahead of time that they can be hit or miss. My chocolate shake was ok, but nothing special. My husband liked his rootbeer float. I don't get the hype. And there is no seating, so we got to eat on the curb in the parking lot. That'll be a definite no for any future visits from me. read more

Dick's burger in Federal Way...yes plz. Was up for the weekend visiting friends and pleasantly surprised you don't have to trek all the way to Capital Hill for this classic. This locale has that old school look and feel but w updated efficiency w tons of order windows and staff. The menu is short and simple making it easy to choose. I didn't see any outdoor tables or seating but they have a wrap around counter that's perf for standing and grubbing. I had the deluxe burger which rivals the double at In n Out pretty closely...I did enjoy the fries here more tho. It was also game day w Seahawks playing home field so some of the burgers were wrapped in team colors bright green and blue. Points for team spirit! read more

Popped in for a late night snack and I felt like the quality of their burgers and fries were better than the other branches I've been to lately. Parking was ample, counters were pretty much all open and serving, so service was pretty quick and the food was piping hot. I saw their new huckleberry ice cream flavor in the window so I had to try it; I wish they would make their scoop flavors into milkshakes because this would have been a fun one. read more

Dick's Drive-In - Their new Huckleberry ice cream flavor - Fast Food Near Me - Federal Way, Washington

Ive always heard people hyping Dick's Drive-In, I wanted to try it to see if it was any good. I like how you can just walk up and order. There is no place to sit down so we ate in the car. The service is super quick surprisingly around lunch time. My fiance got 3 cheeseburgers, I got a deluxe cheeseburger and we got fries along with a vanilla milkshake. You can't customize the burgers unfortunately. I will say the burgers are alright nothing really makes them special. The fries are good and the vanilla milkshake is also good. I will say the pricing of everything is relatively reasonable. We spent around $30 for everything we got which isnt bad for two people. However, I think at the end of the day I would still go to Fiveguys for my burgers, fries, and shakes. read more

The burgers had some kind of yucky cinnamon flavored stuff on it. I haven't been here since it first opened a few years ago but since then something happened because now they're relish or something else tastes like cinnamon. Definitely gross. The fries were good. read more

The burger here was average I don't know why they compare it to in n outs it is not even close to it. I came home and added pickles I had to make it taste alittle better. Fries were not good because I don't like the soggy and soft. read more

I used to live by the Dick's in Lake City and occasionally got burgers and fries there. I thought the burgers were fine and the fries were great. But nothing great. Important to note I was getting the basic cheeseburger. Well, after I moved to the South Sound area, I noticed a Dick's had opened up in Federal Way. Decided to try it out after playing pickleball. But now I got the Deluxe burger and fries. Night and day difference, i'm not sure why, it's just an extra patty, right? But it was SO good. I've been there three times (always after pickleball) in the past two months and it's great every time. Employees are friendly-enough and very fast. Location is good, right by The Commons mall and the light rail station. A really good burger and fry combo for a reasonable price. read more

As a Tacoma native, i've always heard about Dick's, but I had never been there. We visited here on a rainy Friday afternoon; there was no line as we approached the window. The guy was super friendly and we got our food pretty quickly. I got a deluxe with fries and the total was under $10 which seems pretty reasonable nowadays. The burger patties are a little small but overall a very tasty burger. The fries we received were freshly cooked. They were super hot and salty. My friend and I were both satisfied when we were done. We both said we would definitely visit again if we were in the area craving a burger. read more

I stopped by the Dick's Drive-In on Pacific Highway South in Federal Way for a late lunch on Friday 8 March 2024 (arrived about 1:20 p.m.) and Saturday 9 March 2024 (arrived about 2:10 p.m.). I was attending the 2024 Men's Pac-12 Conference Swimming Championships each day and was happy to have this Dick's Drive-In location available as a food option, especially as it was approximately 10 to 15 minutes from the competition venue. Both days the wait was relatively brief, there was less of a crowd on Friday, but the lines still moved fast on Saturday. The parking lot was busier on Saturday though maneuvering in and out of the space in which I parked my car each day went without incident. Across the two days, the different menu items I ate included fries, the deluxe, the special, a cheeseburger, and a scoop of the cookies and cream ice cream. The burgers and fries were all delicious in typical Dick's fashion. On the special and the deluxe, the chopped pickles and mayo combined in such a way as to remind me of a pickle relish. The lettuce was fresh and crunchy on both burgers. For all three burgers, the meat patties were well cooked, buns light and fluffy, and cheese melty. The cookies and cream ice cream was thick in terms of consistency and the cookies were on the softer side. This varied from some cookies and cream ice creams I have had (not Dick's) that feature crunchy cookies. Texturally, I found this softer cookie option to be more enjoyable. Per my palate, the cream paired well with the sweetness of the cookie. I all around enjoyed my dining experiences. read more

Today we decided to go to their anniversary & get the 19 cent burgers. Love the vibe here, always feel like I'm in a different time. The cheese burger was bomb and the bread was perfectly toasted.

We love the fries and dipping sauce. This was a regular "after work" stop on the drive home. I will have to say, there were a few times when the customer line system needed management. Customers walk up and have to choose at random which line to stand in, while other customers are standing "in between" lines waiting for the next window to open up. I noticed some customers would get pissed off because they believed their spot in line was getting taken, or that they were next in line, when they hadn't yet chosen a line. Also of note: sometimes the burgers need help. Must depend on the day. But, the great fries and dipping sauce make up for everything. read more

As many others in Federal Way or other nearby cities were excited about this Dick's location opening up, I was also very excited. They are open late and you can enjoy a very cheap meal that is much better for you and cheaper than McDonald's. Service here is fast and friendly, even when you come a few minutes before closing. There was also a security guard on standby to ensure the safety of the employees and patrons. The ambiance is typical of Dick's where it is a stop that you walk up to with a big menu sign and bright lighting to be able to see the menu, workers, and food/drinks being prepared for their customers. This location has a bathroom too which is pretty neat! One thing I hope Dick's improves on is their fries as they are extremely soggy and unappetizing appearance and taste wise. I hope they can a change like Wendy's where they make them more crispy as I think it would compliments their burgers, shakes, or ice cream much better. Other than that, their burgers always hit the nigh munchies cravings very much! read more

Heard about Dicks Burgers for years. Drove by and saw one in federal way and decided to stop by. NOT a good experience. First off, it is NOT a "Drive-In". We had to get out of the car in the rain to go to a counter to order the food. Ordered a burger with NO pickles and the lady said the burgers are made this way and would not make one without pickles. Now I hate pickles and could not get a burger without them. This is some bullshit. read more

Everything about Dick's is amazing.

Dick's in Federal Way continues to serve up solid burgers, which I genuinely enjoy. But the overall experience isn't without flaws. The setup for ordering isn't very intuitive and it leaves you standing there unsure if you should speak up or wait. That kind of ambiguity makes it especially tough for first-time visitors. Today, I experienced that same awkward wait before finally placing my order. The burger was still good, but not as hot or fresh as I've come to expect. I don't eat in my car to avoid the lingering smell, so I usually grab a spot at the counter area. When it's on point, it hits the spot but they need to rethink their service flow. Still a fan, but definitely room to improve. Efficient: No First-Time Friendliness: No Would I Return: Yes JY review read more
