First glance at the prices, they seem very cheap - because they give you very basic and you can customize. I love the burger and milk shake. The place has the old diner atmosphere.

My husband loves Dick's...so much so that he has even been guilty of considering it somewhere 'special' to take me on a 'special' night out...while in general, I don't think of myself as super high maintenance (ok, maybe just medium level high maintenance>.<), Dick's just doesn't rank high on my list of places to go. The fries are squishy, there is nothing fantastic about the burgers and while they are individually cheap, if you tried to get an entire meal, it would probably cost more than McDonalds. At least that was my impression the last time I was there. I know it's an icon and for that reason alone I won't downgrade it entirely but if it were a new joint opening in this day and age, it would *hopefully* be expected to be better. So while I smile and try to pretend that I am okay with going to Dick's ever so often for my hubby's sake, it isn't anywhere I would choose to go on my own. Ok...go ahead and start throughing the stones, I can take it >.<

If you crave the classic greasy fries, cheeseburgers, and milkshakes go for Dick's. Everything is under $1.50 and food is ready in a few seconds. It's the ultimate guilty pleasure. The menu doesn't offer much variety, but it's the perfect place to go for the classic plain fastfood.

What can you say about Dicks? Greasy doesn't quite say it all... it's a quick route to every kind of health-related problem that arises from idiotically bad food choices. Maybe the grocery equivalent would be squirting Cheez-Wiz straight into your mouth (which I haven't done), or eating an entire jar of maraschino cherries (which I have.) Dick's Deluxe burgers are salty and greasy and they have something that passes for lettuce and a yummy sauce and somehow they always hit the spot for me. They're not big or fancy and it's been a very long time since any part of them was actually living out in a field. The french fries are the most deliciously potato-y tasting that you can get, and you could wring enough out of them to drive your bio-fuel car home. The lines are long, but at the Broadway Dicks, the menagerie of people is so extensive that you at least have entertainment while you wait. When I go here, I always try to park toward the back of the lot, so no one I know can see my car as they drive by.

Then go to Dick's! I'm sorry - I KNOW, it's an Icon and all that and I've tried but... I. Just. Do. Not. Like. This. Place. Every time I've been here, the bun has been stale and there's nothing special about the burgers. The fries are especially repulsive to me - I prefer crispy fries, so the limp wet-with-grease variety that they serve here does nothing for me. I'd much rather go to Dave's in Lynnwood or Mikie's in Everett - now *those* are burgers!

If you're from California and used to In 'N' Out, Dick's won't measure up. I'll be the first to admit that. But if you can set that aside, it's great fun and good food. It has a real 50's/60's feel... More

If you're from California and used to In 'N' Out, Dick's won't measure up. I'll be the first to admit that. But if you can set that aside, it's great fun and good food. It has a real 50's/60's feel to it - not a place that was born in the 90's and is pretending to be retro. Yes, it's greasy, so don't eat there every day, but in my opinion it's a big step up from McDonalds.

Dick's Drive-In gives many people what their parents, and perhaps even grandparents experienced decades ago, before we knew what we know now about heart disease. So much grease permeates the air that I've sometimes told people that they could scrape the walls to make candles. It's food seems on par with MacDonald's, without as much variety, and that is part of its charm! People don't go up to the window and say to the cashier, "Pardon me, but would you happen to have any Grey Poupon?" Part of the reason that it survives is that it is a sort of local cultural icon; the other main reason that it survives is because the food is cheap.

But I cannot help but find Dick's so disgusting! Trust me, as a kid, Dick's was always our first stop on the fast food chain, but I've lost all desire to even get a milkshake nowadays from this drive-through-joint. The service is great, but the food is just plain bad! The milkshakes are sawdusty and have been sitting in a freezer for some time, the fries are limp with grease, and the burgers are just burgers. Nothing special at all! Prices are good but the quality of the meal is not, so it evens out for the company. If I'm ever in the mood for "instant" food I'll just head to a Subway or something....

Dick's is a classic burger joint that you drive up to, get out of the car and order and then take your food with you. They are a Seattle landmark and are known for their hamburgers and hand dipped milkshakes. It's always crowded but orders come out quickly. I would highly recommend it!

This place is reminiscent of "Happy Days." The burgers are big, and pretty darn good, but you've got to like to eat in your car, since it's an old fashioned drive-thru style. Fast food and good for on the go, but I think it costs a bit much for what it is. Nevertheless, a good old fashioned experience. The kids LOVE the idea of eating in your car, but I personally don't get it...
