Really great cali style burrito spot. Prices are affordable especially for the portions. Breakfast…read moreburritos are a killer deal. My personal favorite is the carne asada with fries burrito! a california burrito with a twist. Tortillas are fresh and tasty. Service is reasonably fast given that they are cooking up a bunch of orders after you order. Drive thru can take some time if there is a lunch line, but it is worth the wait trust me. Salsa bar is stellar, defintely worth trying all of the different sauces. I have talked with the owners at least once and they are really kind and amazing people. Love to support these guys and this burrito spot! If you ever went to Memos in Tacoma back in the day, this place is better than that, that Memo's used to be ran by the present owners of this place. Only thing holding it back from 5 stars is just the location because it sometimes gets a little nervy, but go for breakfast or lunch and you shouldn't have an issue! Inside is clean, always freshly mopped and tables have been clean every time we go. I wouldn't say that this place is a "chain" it is just a locally owned mom/pop shop that has the classic big cali burrito and fresh taco menu! Go give it a try!

Sadly not really a fan of just dining in while in SODO but happy to grab an order to go. The better half loved her enchiladas and my sopes were solid too. Enjoyed having a choice of sauces / salsas / pickled carrots and peppers too. They forgot my drink (it was some kind of special) but I forgot to ask for it and didn't even remember until I got home. D'oh! Not to worry - the value was strong in any event.

The ambiance and food is usually fine, but the service could use some work... Looks like they've gotten new staff since I've been gone. I get the same meal from this place every time I come (through the mobile app). I took some time off to diet, and when I came back to order my meal (Big Mac with no bun and extra lettuce, meat, and Mac sauce, they essentially stuffed it in a Big Mac box. Mind you, I'm paying an extra 3 dollars for these ingredients. I knew I was getting skimped because the ingredients would only fit on a platter. I sent the meal back twice because they literally just remade the meal twice then told me that they "don't have platters". And to get a refund, which I can't do on the MCDS app. I call the manager over and he has them remake it. What a surprise, the meal comes on a platter. Nothing makes me more disappointed than being flat out lied to by workers. Had the manager not come and personally resolved the issue, I probably would have sworn to never come here again. I'll give this place another chance sometime in the future.

Can't blame them for this, but it's really hard to hear/order in the drive through because of the loud honking. I got the "grilled cheese" which was basically the burger and added veggies. I wish they gave me the option for grilled onions with this too. It tasted plain but that's what I wanted. I also drowned it in the pick-quick sauce. I would come back for this when I'm craving in-n-out. It was also only $3!!! My friend got the double cheeseburger and it looked very good. He enjoyed it. We also got the chilli fries without the chilli. They couldn't melt the cheese for us because I think the chilli is supposed to melt it. The fries are hot enough that it melts, but I also wish they gave us the option for grilled onions here. Overall, would come again.

Fresh Veggies & Classic Drive-In Vibes!…read more Pick-Quick is a reliable spot for a quick takeout meal. While the beef patty itself isn't anything out of the ordinary, I was genuinely surprised by the freshness of the lettuce, sliced tomato and onion. They are incredibly crisp and pair perfectly with the meat, making for a very satisfying Deluxe Burger--especially for under $5! The fries aren't necessarily the "super crispy" type; instead, they are skin-on and served fresh and hot out of the fryer. They have a great natural potato taste, and dipping them in the house sauce (which you have to order separately) is a must! The milkshakes are also wonderfully thick and rich. A solid 4-star experience for the price and freshness.

I have been a Taco Bell freak since undergrad and my recent experience here was not so bad. The food quality is not too bad but I could appreciate it if the staff who makes the food put a little more elbow grease into my order. Somehow I feel like they are not meeting the optimal level that I wanted in terms of food taste. The Taco Bell near my flat did better than them. Unacceptable in terms of cooking. Thankfully not undercooked. Just because I order online, the staff was a bit nicer. I get this is not a fast food city but if you are no longer in the area, there is no better choice. If you are vegan, they have a good selection of food too.

I mean, theoretically, what's there to not like? I need fries and a burger and it's 11pm? Oh look,…read moreFat Shack's open! AND they have deep fried Oreos??? Sign me up. 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.

He said, "No, you got the sandwich." I said, "Okay... so did you make the sandwich I ordered or not?" He said yes. I open it up and it's literally two chicken fingers, fries, and honey mustard. No Philly cheesesteak. So I asked, "If you didn't have Philly cheesesteak, why didn't you tell me that when I ordered it?" He said, "I don't know, I can put it on the side if you'd like." I said, "I thought you didn't have any Philly cheesesteak?" He walked away, came back with a side of Philly cheesesteak, and told me to put it on the sandwich myself. For $19, I shouldn't have to assemble my own sandwich -- especially after being told you didn't even have the main ingredient. Just be upfront with customers.

A beer and a dog are gonna set you back $15 so and you know that going in. My first problem was that the fries just weren't that good. Most were either too done or not done enough. Garlic was sporadic and mostly ended up at the bottom. I got a meal with chicken strips or whatever and they were okay. Second problem was that the advertising isn't accurate. It looks like the chicken comes with the same amount of fries as just ordering the fries, which isn't true at all. If I would have known that I would have just gotten the fries and saved like $6. Overall, it could be a lot better.
