    Get drunk, get Dick's. I grew up on this place and it's definitely a local favorite. Their fries are always a salty sopping greasy mess and I absolutely love it. The burgers are small and mushy but always fill you up perfectly. The line up to the window can be long, but you get your food within a minute of ordering. Not sure if Dick's lives up to market price now but it's an addiction that I have to feed every time I visit home.

    Burger is unique to the area and has a distinctive taste. Fries are cut fresh everyday. The milk shakes are amazing. The service is second to none. One of the most consistent fast food joints I've been to. This particular location featured Sir Mix a Lot and crew back in the late 80s. It looks for the most part the same. Just walk up and order. They have places to stand and eat directly up front

    Dick's Drive In is an absolute Seattle staple and one of my go to spots for a late night treat. You really cannot beat the prices, especially these days. The burgers are solid and consistent every time, simple, no frills, and exactly what you are craving after a long day or night. I especially love their greasy fresh cut fries. They are perfectly salty and hit that classic drive in vibe. This time I also tried a huckleberry ice cream cone and it was delicious, sweet, a little tangy, and a great finish to the meal. Just do not forget, it is 5 cents for ketchup! Very on brand and honestly part of the charm. It is not gourmet, but that is not the point. It is affordable, nostalgic, and reliably satisfying. Definitely a Seattle classic for a reason.

    Dicks Drive In is always a good spot to grab a quick bite to eat. I always order a Cheeseburger and Fries, along with the Tartar Sauce. The Customer Service is Good. You can eat outside, there isn't any seating inside or out but there is a Table Top you can stand and eat at. I always eat in my car. Parking is OK, I mean I always find parking up front, Diners come and go so fast. They are having a Halloween special if your child is 13 and younger of you Trick or Treat in costume you get a Free Cheeseburger.

    Cheap, dependable, and a staple of Seattle. Never been during the wee hours of the night, but both times I visited this during off-peak hours were quite empty. Friendly staff and security posted up. Cap Hill location definitely gets rowdier during weekend nights. Don't expect the world's greatest burger, but do expect to get your cheap and greasy meal itch scratched.

    If you're looking for that old school, simple, straightforward burger joint, check out Dick's. I was told this place was popular but didn't realize how much until I saw the line to place your order. Long line but moved pretty quick. Burgers, fries, shakes. Keep it simple. The burgers are a bit smaller but the flavor is great! Can easily eat more than a few. I was visiting family and they wanted me to check this place out. To quote them, "let's go grab a bag of Dick's".

    Stuck at a hotel with no access to food, I reacquainted myself with DoorDash, and found this option 0.7 miles from Virginia Mason. I loved Dick's Drive-In as a kid, but as an adult, the burgers are just average. I had a strawberry milkshake, and my mom had a chocolate milkshake. We both thought they were just kind of average. The fries, however, were spectacular! I can see why there's a limit of 15 orders of fries per DoorDash order. Fifteen seems excessive, until you taste them. I wanted a Special with cheese, but that wasn't an option, so I got a Special and a cheeseburger. I also got onion cups and ketchup and tartar sauce cups. The tartar sauce is weird. It's kind of blah. I definitely recommend the onion cups, though.

    Place looked busy, so we decided to try. Saddest looking and tasting burger I've ever had. Fries were soggy.

    I'm a bit disappointed by this historic burger chain... I mean it's super fast and convenient but absolutely underwhelming in terms of taste and presentation. I had a Dick's Deluxe and I was immediately given one that was ready, Mc Donald's style. I was not expecting it, I thought they'd make it to order. The patties were very small and the overall look was really sad. And no bacon wtf! Ultimately the taste was ok, but boy was it an underwhelming experience... I guess it's my fault, I had different expectations. I was thinking something like Burgermaster. To be fair though, it's dirt cheap, so maybe I have to recalibrate my assessment.

    A solid, cheap little burger chain that's serving up STELLAR shakes (seriously the vanilla shake is heavenly), good little burgers, and homemade fries. There is nothing fancy about Dicks. But it doesn't claim to be. They do a few things really well done. And do it quickly. There's a ton of people here getting food for a reason. Cheap eats done well. I'm glad my Seattle local friend said we had to stop by!

    What is it that makes this place iconic? I have had better tasting food elsewhere. There was nothing good or even remotely iconic about this place. If you are standing by these undercooked limp oily fries and the tartar sauce burger then you're clearly doing something special to market yourself as iconic. I cannot believe people stood in long lines waiting for this mess of a meal.

    A Seattle classic. I lived behind this location for close to a decade. I've easily eaten thousands of their burgers and I would eat a thousand more. They are the perfect ratio of meat to bun and well priced. They also treat their employees extremely well with competitive pay and benefits including tuition. This is the type of local business people should be supporting.

    tl;dr the juicy Caribbean pork sandwiches at this revived Seattle mini-chain live up to the…read morelegendary hype Un Bien is arguably Seattle's most popular sandwich joint, and its dramatic history begins with Cuban chef Lorenzo Lorenzo and his initial shop, Paseo. Lorenzo opened Paseo in 1994, where his popular Cuban roast pork sandwiches were regarded as among the best in the country. After years of local expansion, Paseo abruptly filed for bankruptcy in 2014. The brand was subsequently bought out by a local entrepreneur, but the sale did not include Paseo's secret recipes (the reboot attempted to reverse engineer the sandwiches with varying success). So, in 2015, Lorenzo's sons revived Paseo under a new name, Un Bien, armed with their father's original recipes. Nowadays, Un Bien is generally regarded as superior to Paseo, and you can grab their Caribbean sandos at one of the three locations across Seattle. You can't miss the pastel pink-and-teal palette of the original shack on an otherwise drab block of Ballard. As you approach the wooden window, you are greeted by the aroma of sauteed meats and veggies. Communal laquered wood benches are lined up underneath a covered pergola. Fifties hits ring respectfully around the kitchen. My partner and I visited for late weekday lunch, and we ordered immediately. We opted to focus on the signature pork shoulder, so we split the #1 Caribbean Roast and #2 The Press. Across both sandwiches, we were impressed by the tender pork, rich onions, lemon-forward aioli, and marinade-soaked baguette. The standard roast pork sandwich added on pickled jalapenos and crisp romaine, culminating in a dynamic flavor that accentuated the meat. Meanwhile, The Press featured tart banana peppers, smoked ham, and melty Swiss, amping up the sweet and savory flavors alike; we agreed that this extra-messy sandwich just edged out the standard version. Our order took just minutes to be prepared, and the bill just topped $30. Despite the fanfare, I still found myself surprised by just how satisfying Un Bien's sandwiches turned out to be. Across all the food I ate in Seattle, only these pork sandwiches would be worth a return visit, even if I had to venture out of my way.

    Messy, pricey, totally overrated…read more My family and I visited Un Bien and arrived approximately 45 minutes before closing. We ordered promptly, but were told we would only have about 10 minutes to use the seating area before it closed. When we asked for clarification because the restaurant was advertised as being open until 9:00 PM, staff confirmed they were open until then but said the seating area would close earlier anyway. After receiving our food, we were told not to sit down and were asked to leave the seating area altogether. The interaction felt abrupt and discourteous, especially given that we had arrived well before closing and had purchased food with the expectation that we could eat on-site. The food itself was average, but the poor customer service and inconsistent messaging about seating left a much stronger impression than the meal. There are other better places. Skip.

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.

Instead, I received two containers of mac and cheese that were honestly not even edible to us and did not receive the fries I paid for. I have attached photos showing exactly what was delivered. What makes this even more frustrating is that there is apparently no way to contact the restaurant directly. If there's an issue with your order, you're routed to a generic feedback form that offers no immediate assistance, no customer service, and no real way to resolve the problem. I didn't want a survey. I wanted the food I actually ordered. It's incredibly disappointing that they can make a mistake with an order and then create a system where customers have no practical way to reach someone who can fix it. If my order is wrong, I should be able to contact the restaurant and have the issue corrected, not be sent into an online black hole and hope someone reads a form days later. Mistakes happen. What turns a mistake into a terrible customer experience is when there is no accountability and no way to get help. I ordered fries. I got mac and cheese. There was no way to contact the restaurant to make it right. That's not acceptable. Would not recommend ordering from this location unless you're prepared to accept whatever shows up at your door with no ability to reach anyone if something goes wrong!!
