I heard about this burger spot online and how it was comparable to In-n-Out in our state. I thought the prices were low and affordable for what we bought. We ordered a hamburger, a deluxe burger, fries, and a strawberry milkshake. We thought the burgers were tasty but not as flavorful as the In-n-Out burgers. Also, the burger is small, so I would suggest buying 2. The fries were crispy and fresh since they hand cut them daily. The milkshake was sweet and had a smooth texture. The lines moved quite quickly and our cashier was very friendly. The atmosphere was laid-back at this quick-service spot. I'm glad we tried this burger spot, but I would not go to the drive-in next time because there are no tables and seats. read more

Super quick service! Order came out before I was able to pay. Heard about this popular place in Seattle for value, quick, and easy burger place. Simple menu of burger, fries, and ice cream. Got the deluxe burger which has 2 patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and a tasty sauce. Fries were soft and limp but had some crispy pieces. Drive in vibes with huge rotating dicks sign in front. read more

We came with a friend for a pre-dinner snack since this is a famous local place though I really haven't tried it myself. I liked the retro style nostalgia of this place, but really don't feel like the prices reflect the quality. We tried a regular cheeseburger (almost $6 and ketchup is an extra). Burger was greasy and soft and nothing special to be honest. We were unfortunately a little disappointed. read more

I finally tried Dick's Drive-In last month after my partner, a Washington native, insisted it was a rite of passage. Those burgers were hot, juicy and satisfying. I genuinely can't remember if we got fries (apparently my brain checked out the moment the burger hit), but Washington soda just tastes better. I don't know what kind of magic is in the water up there, but it was absolutely worth the soda tax. Service was quick, the food was hot, and the whole experience lived up to the hype. read more

This Wallingford outpost of Dick's Drive-In is packed almost every night in the summer. It's conveniently located near the I-5, along a busy stretch of NE 45th St. We stopped by around 9pm after a trip to Vancouver and tried their cheeseburgers (regular, special, and deluxe) as well as some fries. The milkshakes seemed to be really popular as well, but I wanted to save my stomach space for some Molly Moon's (which was also down the street). Our cashier was really kind and helpful, and walked us through the differences between their burgers. I really liked my deluxe burger out of all the ones I tried, but you cannot beat the deal that is the $3.25 cheeseburger. I was told Dick's is Seattle's version of In-N-Out and I can definitely see the resemblance. They have a delicious mayo-pickle relish sauce that is sweeter than it is tangy, but the acidity is a nice balance to all the grease. I will say, however, the fries were a miss. They came limp and soggy and our fingers were slicked with oil after grabbing a few fries. Overall, our total about out to be about $36 for 6 burgers and 2 fries, which is an incredible value. The parking lot can be packed during the later hours, but it's not too hard to find a spot since cars come and go. read more

Standard Seattle Dick's. The staff are always nice and helpful when I have a question. It's a drive in so obviously it's to-go so you can eat in the car, take home, or sit down on a nearby bench. I usually order fries and cheeseburger. Nothing fancy but if you're craving a greasy fast food burger and fries this is a good option especially with the late night hours! I like their chocolate and strawberry milkshakes and today finally tried a sundae! For sundaes you can choose any of the ice cream options and get one topping. I chose a huckleberry sundae with the chocolate hot fudge. The sundae was good especially on a hot day. Chill vibes if you're looking for an easy and quick meal. What I enjoy and like most about Dick's Drive-In is definitely the late night hours open until 2am. read more

If you are looking for an old school, basic unpretentious hamburger...this is your place. Straight forward. Basic. Fast. Hot. Fresh. Very good. My kids love this place, and I do, too. I don't need any housemade burger slop or aioli. Mustard and ketchup is just fine. And fresh, hot fries. And cold thick shakes. Come to Seattle and get you a bag of Dick's (hamburgers). Hey, this is a family joint...keep it clean and respectable. read more

Extra star for the huckleberry icecream! The burger is fine, and understandable the nostalgia that it provides locals. However the burger fell flat for me. Nothing fresh like lettuce and tomato on it that makes a burger more satisfying on a hot day for me. The parking lot is also a bit of a nightmare, we sat on a bench nearby and saw a few near misses! Be careful when you're here read more

A good classic burger and fries at an affordable cost, something I haven't had for a long time. If my wife and I were local I could see us being regulars here. I'd say the actual food is like a high 3/5, but you honestly cannot beat the price in today's economy, bumping it to a 4. Service was quick and the staff were friendly. The public restroom was clean which was a pleasant surprise. Overall this was a super nice way to end my time up in Seattle for the day. read more

I was told that Dick's is to Seattle as In-N-Out is to California, just not as good. Even with the "just not as good", I don't know that they can even be compared. I ordered a burger, fries and ice cream. The burger and fries just weren't my jam. They were very soggy and soft. Maybe this is how some people like it, but I just didn't love it. I love a crisp burger- a bun and patty with a little bit of crunch. But this was more soft in consistency. The fries were also limp and just not my style. The ice cream was fine and I enjoyed that it had a bunch of topping options including my favorite, hot fudge. The vibe I got from this place was that it's more of a icon versus actually having tasty food. Probably a great nostalgic spot, but not for the actual food itself. Service was very friendly though and they moved real quick. Parking was easy and they had bathrooms available. read more

I had not heard of this local chain before my current stay in Seattle. Dick's Drive-In is a true throwback to my childhood. Simple straightforward burger menu that offers up a delicious old school burger that is almost impossible to find these days. Dick's appears to have a very loyal local following too. My family and I tried them for an early lunch and ended up coming back for seconds because we were so impressed by the goodness of the burgers, fries, and root beer floats. The building is a very well maintained and clean drive-in clearly built in the 1950's or early 1960's. The staff have service down to an art form. I watched them preparing burgers as fast as possible and the cashiers swooping up the hot burgers and fresh cut fries almost as soon as you finished ordering. We had our meals in less than 2 or 3 minutes. No seating here. Just eat outside your car or whatever you arrive in or sit inside your car. It was fun and a quiche experience. We are scheduled to stay in Seattle for a month and I know we'll be back a few times before we leave. read more

This is my fave burger place of all time! I know other people are into their In-n-Out and other burger chains or non-chains, but Dicks burgers have always won my heart. I've tried both the Deluxe and the cheeseburger and they're now my go-to. The bread has always been soft and warm, the beef patty is just the right thickness and it's flavorful and the condiments are just the right amount. With all that said, everything just works well together. Every bite is so scrumptious! Most other burgers are either too oily, too salty, have too much sauce or not enough sauce, etc. I also love their fries and their milkshakes! I've brought friends from out of town here and they all loved this place! read more

Burgers are exactly what is expected and their burgers have their own personality. They are delicious. Chase it with a strawberry shake perfect. Perfect drive in atmosphere. They had a pop up merch tent.... Nice and nostalgic. FYI Restrooms on site now read more

Things I love, and have always loved, about the Wallingford Dick's: - Near the U and open late (which was kinda dangerous back in my Greek Row days) - Affordable prices (not as affordable as in my U days but still) - Consistent, delicious burgers; mushy-but-tasty fries; best root beer float in town - It's so easy to get to on my way home in the northerly regions; great stop on the way home from a late night flight into SEA - Friendly staff and almost always lots of parking - Always a small opportunity for a local sealebrity sighting! Add to that the fact they finally take credit cards, and are slowly adding new items to their menu (while still keeping that tight rein on their offerings), means I'm a loyal customer for life. Don't ever change (too much) Dick's! read more

I love Dicks! There is nothing like ordering a big back of Dicks and sitting on the curb or the bed of a truck and stuffing your face. Definitely the best local fast food burger chain in the northwest. The service is always quick and accurate. I have probably been to this one the most, but all of the restaurants in my opinion are consistent. I don't live near any but I have a reoccurring dream where they announce that they are taking over Burgerville (which is overrated and way too expensive for what you get) and I I eat there every day! read more

"Eat a big bag of Dicks!" Should be the slogan... only because it's funny. Not because of the staff, they are always friendly & fast. Dicks fries are incredible. Natural cut, skinny, oily, hot, soggy, salty, potato goodness in a bag This chain is a Seattle treasure.. read more

I am an out of town Californian. I suppose this is a review for my Cali brethren as both Seattle folk hate on in-n-out and Cali hates on dick's and I am trying to talk past the prejudice. Get it with the tartar sauce. You must. If you just get the plain burger you will be dissapointed. I had both and got to say if you get the burger put the sauce on it. With the sauce its pretty good and different from other burgers. Sorta spiced like a gherkin or something. If "different" scares you, just think in-n-out spread with a different kind of pickle because whether you realize it or not you are eating a pickled sauce (the in-n-out spread is essentially thousand island which might as well be ketchup mayo and pickles) Dick's got to realize Californians read "tartar" sauce on a burger and freak out. read more

You can't beat the vibes and prices at Dick's. I got a cheeseburger and a strawberry milkshake this time and they were the simple and old-fashioned flavors you'd expect and hope for.

My friend and I were looking for something cheap in the area and Dicks seemed like our best bet. I got the cheeseburger and fries for less than $10. Why are people in Seattle allergic to salt everywhere I've been the fries are just hot oil and potatoes. The burger was fine. I got a kids chocolate cone and the icecream had a weird after taste but it was bareable, it also had weird ice chunks. Best part was the cone. Very... um... smiley staff... I don't know whats so funny but when I look back he's still smiling when no one is there... also why can't we get some tables in here? Do they sacrifice buying tables to keep food prices so low?

Dick's Drive-In - My rock and I - Fast Food Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It's a landmark and it's hard for me to fight that and the nostalgia I have for Dick's so I'm giving it a begrudging three stars. The wait to order was still as quick as I remember and the efficiency of it was still there. I don't know, maybe in my 20s it was funner or tastier but the deluxe was smaller than I remember, greasier than I recalled-and felt the next day and thankfully I was in a rental car because it was a pretty messy affair. I think in the years since other fast casual burger places have come up, Dick's has just nostalgia to fall back on. read more

This is a Seattle institution! You can't visit Seattle without stopping in at Dick's Drive-In. The prices are still insanely cheap. It's a no frills burger here. Great service and quick to come out. You order outside at the windows. You choose your burger, fries, shake, drink.. and it comes out fast. I do suggest adding the tartar sauce to the burgers or using it as a fries dip. Since it is delicious! Adds that extra punch to the food. A must for anyone checking out Seattle for the first time or looking for a late night fast food bite read more

Great burgers and chocolate shake. The prices were surprising. In 2025, most fast food places have burgers now for $10, but this place is doing them for $5-6. The fries were a bit too salty and burnt for my liking, so maybe avoid those if you don't like overly salted fries. Milkshake was balanced with the right amount of sweetness. The service was also super quick, placed an order and it was ready in 1 minute. read more

Smells like teen spirit here at this Seattle institution. Busy in the sunshine, even busier when raining. You don't come here necessarily for lunch or dinner. He calls you to come at all times throughout the day or sleepless at night. With the inevitable credit card acceptance, gone are the days when every employee was a math wizard and added up your total instantly in their head at the end of your order. That was always impressive. Though times have changed, the courteous service the delish burgers & fries & shakes have remained the same. read more

Not much seating around but walked over to a nearby bench and enjoyed. It's not the best burger and fries I've ever had but prices you can't beat. Hit the spot. Worth coming to! read more

I don't understand why Dick's is famous among locals. The burgers taste worse than McDonald's. Then again, I didn't grow up here so I am not nostalgic. The food came out super fast. I got it as soon as I paid for it. The burger was a bit dry and not flavorful. It was super cheap though given all the recent food inflation. The place was clean and well lit with a security guard loitering by. I checked this off the Seattle bucket list. Probably won't be back. read more

A truly bright spot in the world. Dick's Drive-In is someplace I wish I'd heard of sooner, and wish was at bare minimum closer to where I live. Let's start with the food. They've got a menu with limited variety and sizes, because they know the strength of their high quality food and portions. Their burgers are small, but fresh and more filling than most ANYWHERE! Their fries are hand-cut and cooked with sunflower oil, so expect real fresh potato flavor with a hint of sunflower seeds. I'm fairly sure I've never encountered fries like that. But their shakes were the standout. With only the basic three flavors, they impressed with the low price, high quality, great flavor, and thickness, being hand dipped and whipped. Which brings me to my main positive about this place, cheap prices. It was estimated $3-$5 for any of the burgers, $3 for their one size fry that is substantial enough, and around $3 for their shake. However, that is essentially it. They've got soda, but there was a tax on soda with sugar, and I have no idea what the context is for that. Their service is incredible. As I ordered, the food was placed in front of me. But don't misunderstand, they are always making food, and you're always getting fresh food. They are just busy, and also perfectly understand their demand. So they are ensuring they always have enough fresh food, so that you can have all your food by the time you're done ordering. As for the employees themselves, they're quiet and hard-working. Now, atmosphere is crazy. My friend walked to stand in line, and very loudly and ecstatically asked if we'd time travelled due to this looking like an old drive-in with cheap prices. (But clean, not literally an abandoned old drive-in. He was buzzed and bewildered.) For me, I did my research, so I wasn't shocked or loud. (I also don't drink, so I was not buzzed.) But I was impressed at the pleasant atmosphere, especially considering one of my favorite songs of all time was playing right as I walked up. There is no seating, and no indoor area. That is to be expected, if you ever have heard about a drive-in from your grandparents. My friend did not, so we sat in the car and he was disappointed until taking a bite of the delicious food. Also, they have a huge parking lot. What else can I say? They have some of the highest quality food you'll ever have, with probably the cheapest prices anywhere right now. They get the food to you fast, and they have a very unique atmosphere for present day. You'll feel like you've time travelled to the 1950s. read more

Went there yesterday for dinner as a friend of mine told me it's a tradition to get a bag of Dick's as you come to West Coast so got me 2 plains Cheeseburger wish were delicious sadly enough tho Fries were very very soggy . People at the register were very nice and energetic and you could see they like their jobs . Not much place to sit also mostly a counter with a couples chairs but still definitely worth the experience.

Fun fact. THIS Dicks Drive-In is the very first Dicks Drive-In! It's true - "the morning of January 28, 1954, the first Dick's Drive-In opened for business on N.E. 45thStreet in the Wallingford District of Seattle" (From the Dick's Drive-in website) So this particular Dick's is kinda historic. Many of you know I love my history and..burgers. That all out of the way, Dick's strongest draw is that it's cheap. Yeah, in my visit I got a couple of deluxe's (Double cheeseburgers), a shake and fries for about $20. From there Dick's goes a bit limp (no pun intended). additional condiments are $0.20 each. I understand the extra asking price but it's still kinda lame when at other places you can load up on ketchup to your content. Consistency is a bit off. One deluxe was soggy and not as hot. The following one was significantly better, but not great. The fries were also just alright and not crispy in the least. The Shake was cold and tasted ok but was soupy and had not thickness to it. So overall it was pretty flat. I've had worse burgers, and many may well know you're coming to Dick's for a quick and cheap burger fix, that you take right to your car or to the curb and chow down. I won't say I'll give up on Dick's but I wouldn't make it my first option. read more

First time at this popular burger place. I knew it was going to be good bc it was nonstop busy. I would definitely compare this place to In-N-Out. All they serve is burgers, fries and shakes and other ice cream products. The double burger was very good, but small. I would almost compare it to the size of a regular McDonald's hamburger, but better of course. No tomatoes too. We also tried to order one burger with no pickles/relish but they said they don't take special orders (huh?), so you can only have it their way. The beef patties are definitely fresh. The star of the show is definitely their french fries. They serve them well done and they are very good. Fresh cut potatoes are the way to go. This place was definitely good but In-N-Out, Now that's "what a hamburger is all about"! read more
