We were in town for some business and were hungry for some good food. Food was delicious and quickly prepared. Service was amazing and professional. We loved how there were these cute table and benches in the back of the restaurant with the pick-quick embossed into the wood. Very cute detail! Also came in a smaller size presumably for kids. They noted that they will be open year round now and has card and tap to pay options which was really convenient. We will definitely be back when visiting the area. Really nice local place! read more

Best burgers in Tacoma hands down! I wish they were open year around but ppl need a break I guess! Can't wait to get my hands on one this spring! read more

Great burgers! Froes are a soggy mess so don't even bother with them. The malt was old fashioned and quite good.

So I want to give them more stars because the banana split is awesome, but the food is just ehh. I ordered a grilled cheese adding pickles and a tomato. The American cheese was not even melted and definitely not grilled! The tomato was fresh and it was served on a bun. That would have been really good if it was grilled. The fries were ok. I wish they had fry sauce. Husband had a cheeseburger and said it was ok but not what he had wanted it to be. It was raining so we ate in the car, but had there been sun there's a beautiful large picnicking area that would be enjoyable. Dessert time! Husband and I shared a hot fudge, Carmel and strawberry banana split. It was awesome! They use soft serve ice cream. It is definitely large enough to share. read more

Throw back means go back, and often, o to this great burger and shake place. It's soo good. My single deluxe burger was amped up with grilled onions and jalapeños. Even with the thin patty, this was a filling burger. The fries, oh the fries... Crispy, slender and with just the right amount of salt. The fresh blackberry shake was heavenly. One thing to probably avoid is the grilled cheese, which is basically a cheeseburger without the meat (read bum with melted cheese). Lots of outdoor seating and lively conversation. read more

Food is always good. This place has been here a long time!! The owners are always kind and have been the owners for a very long time! Service has always been great from any of the employees there!

This place is SOLID. Their burgers are great! Their cheeseburgers, doubly so. The shakes... SPECTACULAR. Unique fruit flavors, made with real fruit. I 100% recommend the pineapple, as well as the peach. The marshmallow is good too. Additionally, the staff is friendly and the service is fast. Bring cash, though, because they don't take plastic. read more

We had double cheeseburgers, fries and shakes. The food was hot and delicious! It was served quickly from when we ordered.

This is a landmark place in Fife WA. If you're ever in the area must have one of their burgers with shake. I've been coming here for years. read more

You have to be old school to understand this place. That real drive thru burgers and fries with the shake on the side. That's the vibe I got and the burgers were delicious. Outdoor seating only. Walk-up window to order. If there is a long line it's so worth the wait. We stopped in on father's day they had a lot of customers. They handled the crowd well and got our orders right. read more

I'd give these guys 10 stars if i could. They're some of the best burgers and fries I've had in Washington state so far, and easily the best malt. They also have a nice outdoor picnic area under shaded trees that is wonderful on a sunny day. But what really blew me away was how friendly and kind they are. Seriously, these guys are so nice I had a hard time believing it. Believe it. This place is legit and we will back. read more

CASH ONLY! Awesome place just nearby the car museum, so we went there and grabbed some delicious shakes and burgers with fries. Very pleased. The fries were crispy and thin, kind of like an upgraded In n Out style, the burger was good and the shake was awesome. read more

We have passed this place a few times but yesterday we were hungry and decided to stop. It was amazing to see how many people there were inside that tiny building but they worked together like clockwork. More surprising was how the guy at the window was so friendly and helpful, and seemed to really want to keep the customers happy. As for the food, the burgers and fries were both really good and prices very reasonable. With no inside seating we were happy to find so many picnic tables on a nice grassy area with shade trees on the hot day. The only negative is the traffic noise from the port trucks going by, but well worth it. read more

Found this drive in on our way from Portland to Bellingham from Yelp reviews. What a great find! The burgers were awesome and the fries were outstanding! It's a cross between Mike's Drive in for those who live in Portland and a In-N-Out burger. Very fresh and no scrimping on the tomatoes or onions for sure, and the price is EXTREMELY reasonable.The service was very good. There's a handful of people working in very small quarters and it worked like a well oiled machine. Even with many people ordering with a small line up, the orders were ready quite quickly. It was so good we stopped again on our way home the next day! Definitely will become one of our permanent stops on our way north for sure. So glad to have found this place! read more

Many consider Pick Quick in Fife as the best burger in the Puget Sound region. EVERYTHING is fresh, locally sourced, and really, really good....close to In-N-Out Burger quality in every bite. Shakes are made to order with real fruit (strawberries, blueberries, etc.). And the fries are cut right there, cooked fresh, made to order, and right out of the 1950's......cut long, thin, just the right amount of oil and salty. And why is this? Because this place was built in 1948 and has barely changed since then....including the shade trees and park benches to sit in the summer breeze. On Pacific Avenue in Fife, just a few blocks from the "also old and 1950's famous" Poodle Dog Restaurant and Pup Room" with classic signage just off of I-5. You step back in time by visiting both of these places. And while you're at it, you may as well trek to Tacoma a few minutes away and walk into the Java Jive (shaped like a coffee pot) for a drink. Classics, all three. read more

If you are going to Pick Quick, get at a minimum, a double or triple burger. The single burger simply doesn't cut it with a paper thin slice of meat that does not stretch out enough to cover the size of the bun; in fact, I tasted only the tomato when I ate it! Fries were hot and fresh. The shake I had was quite thick and creamy. So, it was about $12 for 2 single cheese burgers, an order of fries and a vanilla shake. Believe or not, I was still hungry! I would have gotten a bigger burger but I barely had enough cash for my order....BRING YOUR PAPER if you are coming here. NO debit or credit cards accepted. 3.31 stars. Maybe would have been higher had I ordered more MEAT. =) read more

Ahh Pick Quick - a family fave for years, my dad and uncle will drive up here all the way from south Tacoma just to have a burger and a shake. When I was young I didn't get it -- "take me to McDonald's, it's fine!", I said -- but now as a person who chooses their own meals, I get it. It's part nostalgia, part good greasy grubbin', part ease (parking and low prices). You can sit on the lawn with your family, or grab one of the many picnic tables. Pick Quick is always a bit busy regardless of weather, but they are fast and the food is good! All the high school kids that work in there are super sweet and take care of the outdoor part too. You can just tell there's some cute little couples forming behind that fry counter! If this were the '50's, it wouldn't seem much different at Pick Quick. Except the boys would be asking the girl to the school sock hop, instead of updating their FB status or tweeting at them. #tweet #tweet #Cheeseburger #HomerDrool read more

Fab burgers, crisp fries great root beer floats!!!! Beautiful grounds- the cleanest place ever!!!! Love them for 40 years!!

Old roadside burger joint that you would see in the 50's & 60's till corporate America created the McDonalds, Burger King & Wendy's of the world... Glad to see Mom & Pop hamburger stands like this still exist. Gotta love the fact you can have 18 different milkshakes including my favorite Butterscotch and a basic menu of burger, fries & hotdogs. This is America at her finest I think and FRANKS opinion is what counts! Grab a grilled bacon hotdog, it's an amazing all beef and deep fried so it's darn good. Hand cut fries that rock FRANKS world. Just a small warning the burgers are thin so you maybe wanna a double or triple burger. Also CASH IS KING so bring it because they don't take credit or OBAMA EBT cards. Those who earn there money get to eat! Enjoy and come back soon. read more

4.5 stars. My father in law was with me today and we decided to stop here before the auto museum. Im glad we did. This place is old school. A little shack on the side of the road. The kitchen/cooking area is about the size of my bathroom yet they have 5 to 6 ladies working back there. Whatever it is they are doing, keep it up! Placed my order for a double bacon cheeseburger with no sauce, an order of fries and a large mountain blackberry shake. Total came out to $10.26. Here is how everything stacked up.............. Double Bacon Cheeseburger- This thing looked great. The patties were kind of small though. Thats the only knock on this place. The cheeseburger itself tasted really good though. They use nice sized pieces of crispy bacon too which I loved. I might add another patty next time (if there is ever a next time) to make it a triple. That would be a filling burger. French Fries- These are what In N Out french fries strive to be. These things were wonderful! Freshly cut, tasted great. They were cooked perfectly too. Golden brown and delicious! I could have easily eaten another order. Mountain Blackberry Shake- Um.....its a contender for BEST SHAKE EVER! This thing was large and in charge. They use a TON of fresh blackberries blended with soft serve ice cream. Every single sip through the straw you would pull up pieces of blackberries to chew on. It was the best part of the meal. I absolutely loved it. Do not skip a shake if you come here...you will be missing out. My father in law got a chocolate one and he was raving about it too. Great shakes! Ambiance was what sets this apart though. They have been here since 1949. They must be doing something right. The lady who took my order was super friendly as was the lady who handed me my food. There are a ton of picnic benches to eat at and a bunch of floral easel like things all around. It almost looks like a cemetery right when you pull up to it. They may not make the best burgers ever, but when you throw everything together, I can see why people continue to flock to this place. Old school burger stand at its finest! I wish San Diego had something that resembled this. read more

Another great place bits the dust. We went there today and as we expected - there was a long line - no problem - beautiful day. As we stood in line (for 20 minutes) - I noticed some individuals just walking up - paying for their order - receiving it and leaving. One was a hundred dollar order that slowed the whole line down. I am all for the restaurant having large orders - but please wait in line. After not receiving my food for almost 45 minutes - number 74 (the rest of our party who was ahead of us) was called. I went behind them to get mine - (number 75) but this gentlemen cut me off went to the window - paid and got his order. Now in my generation we call that cutting. Apparently they started call in orders and those get priority - so if you are dumb enough to wait in line - get there early - I figured at least 5 people cut in front of us. Not nice. read more

Greasy burger joint that was in no way Quick. Burger was small but I ordered grilled onions. That made it pretty good. Fries were hit and really greasy and dark brown from old oil. If you like greasy old oil and little burgers, it's fine. Finally, it's really expensive for a walk up, eat at the picnic bench place. One double and one plain cheeseburger, one fries, two 16oz sodas(small at McDs) over $18. read more

Great service, great food. I think I was the first customer of the day, picking up lunch for my husband that had lunch at 10:30a. The girls were super fast and nice!! Cash only - I had to run next door. Oops. My husband LOVED his burger, fries and shake. read more

Cash Only, if you did some research ahead you wouldn't be disappointed. They state it on their take out menus, and their actual website. I forgot for a split second they cash only so we left and went to my bank HAHA. Aside from that... MY FOOD CAME OUT GREAT. I'm not speaking for all the other people who had a bad experience i'm sorry you guys didn't have a good experience because it's a shame. Their food may be better than Dicks, BUT THATS just my opinion, Id still get Dicks whenever i'm in Seattle, but i'm so glad this place is around my home. I love my greasy fast foods. We ordered, and Yes food taste best when it's hot a empty, but lemme tell you. After driving home and the food got a little cooled it's still good as hell. Because their fries are fresh, there's still the crunch to it. The burgers are fulfilling, it's not even like TOO MUCH, it's perfect WHY . Prices are decent and affordable, fries portions are better than Dicks because they give you more. FYI to first timers, If you ain't feeling adventurous, just get yourself the Cheese Burger w/ Bacon (no onions, unless you about that. I'm pregnant my senses are heightened so i can't stand it right now) Fresh fries and your favorite flavored shake. If you adventurous get the Deluxe cheese burger w/ Bacon! Add fries to everything HAHAHA, and Malt shake is THICCCCCCC YALLLLL. SHE THICC AS HELLLL. This photo i'm about to share is when it's cooled down and it ain't hot anymore. STILL BOMB. read more

Pick-Quick Drive In - Cheese burger on the bottom, deluxe in the top. - Burgers Near Me - Fife, Washington

I was excited to try this location after it reopened not too long ago. I'm pregnant and was craving a burger. I got the cheeseburger and the patty was sooo thin. My husband's double quarter pounder patties were also quite thin. It was $20.96 for cheeseburger, double 1/4 pounder, two sides of fries. Kind of expensive for thin patties and no drinks. read more

The only reason this place is 4 stars and not 5 is because they are cash only. In a world where everything is electronic... kind of a bummer. Now on to the important information... Pick Quick rocks because they are crazy efficient, consistent, nice, and the food is excellent! Keep in mind this is a burger place on the side of pacific highway, It's not a gourmet restaurant. If you want an expensive burger or something that had truffle oil try some place else. This place is way better than any fast food joint, and the burgers are damn good. The fries are to die for, and they make some mean shakes. My fiancée goes for the chocolate malt and I'm all about the strawberry vanilla milkshake! Check this place out! It really hits the spot. BRING CASH!! read more

One of my favorite hamburger places around. Always a line but they are speedy. The seating is outside only, great on a nice day. Only takes cash, have since forever.

Pretty good burgers. Decent place to grab a bite. There is way to improve but since place is alright. Service was good as well. read more

This was a good, solid, simple hamburger. Unless you have a pretty light appetite -- one failing I sadly do not suffer from -- I suggest getting a triple. It reminded me of the hamburgers I would get from In-and-Out from my days in California. That is a real compliment to Pick-Quick. They had a bunch of milkshake flavors that look really good but sadly I could not try one. The vegetables tasted really fresh. I added jalapenos to mine, which tasted pretty good. It was the pickled kind. I did not add bacon because I wanted to taste beef. Bacon on a hamburger is always amazing, but I wanted to see how their hamburger patties held up on their own since bacon can overcome a lot of flaws or shortcomings. But I found Pick-Quick's hamburger patties really good. What I found was not great was their french fries. I found them kind of flaccid and not at all crispy. They were seasoned, but just lacked crispiness. Kind of like Dick's up in King County. That sadly -- in my humble opinion -- is not exactly a compliment. But If given the opportunity, I would go again. Just would get something other than french fries. read more

This place was amazing. It's a spot my boyfriend used to always go to when he lived in Seattle. It as the go to spot on the way to Seattle or Portland. We got two double cheeseburgers and chili cheese fries. I went in with pretty high expectations because of the Rabin reviews my boyfriend gave, but I wanted to see for myself! He was right, the burger was glorious, and the chili cheese fries were deliciously gooey with the yummy chili, cheese, fries and onions. I would most definitely go back again and again. Really good prices too. What you would expect from a good burger place!! Five stars!! read more

Fresh & homemade tasting. Sometimes all you need is a simple burger. Very friendly & quick service as well.

I tried Pick-Quick today. The burger was really just okay, but then again, it wasn't supposed to be a gourmet burger. For what it was, a fast basic burger, it was tasty...the bun was grilled which some local burger places don't do. I'm also really picky when it comes to the flavor of ground beef, and there were no funny metallic or gamy nuances to it. I had a double burger, and felt it would have been nice to have more meat....they're really pretty thin. The basic toppings that come automatically are: a rubber spatula each of mustard, mayo, sweet relish slathered on in that order, followed by a tomato disc and a raw onion disk (not just one ring, but a full cross section - so kinda a lot) No lettuce. No cheeseburgers in my party, so I can't say what the cheese offerings were, but I'm guessing American. I skipped the fries so can't opine on those (trying to limit calories here :-) but I did try a cherry malt. It was mediocre. It tasted like powdered milk was part of the blend, so not that great. One plus was that it was really thick, not to be drawn on by a straw. Overall, I'd go again if with kids who want a grease feast, because it was cheap and kinda fun/cool to go to. They have a huge grassy area under some old trees full of picnic tables with a great view of the I-5 traffic whizzing by (yeah, that was sarcasm). If you are thinking of heading to Burger King, McDonald's or one of those other chains, I beg you to go here instead....MUCH better tasting when compared to them, a better experience, and most likely healthier ingredients. read more

The best milkshakes in town! Amazing customer service! I would definitely recommend this

Ordered two deluxe burgers, large shake, and fries from them for under $20 last weekend. The prices were good compared to other places for what I got. If you like onion, the deluxe burger came with a whole slab of onion, not just a few pieces and not chopped up and mixed in in case you don't like onion. Bonus points for being a non-chain burger joint. The fries were crinkle fries which I tend to prefer. read more
