Dick's Drive-In Restaurant

111 N.E. 45th St.
Seattle , WA
(206) 632-5125

<p><strong>The Vibe:</strong> Built in 1954, the Wallingford neighborhood location is the earliest outpost of the quintessential drive-in chain. Loyalists of all ages come for drive-in classics like fresh burgers, hand-whipped shakes, and house-cut fries; in fact, that's pretty much all that's on the menu. There's no customer seating, so in-car dining is part of the experience.</p> <p><strong>The Crowd:</strong> Burger snobs and toddlers find common ground at this award-winning (local publications have cited Dick's for its Best Cheap Eats, Best Burger, Best Fast Food, Best Fries...the list goes on), kitschy kitchen.</p> <p><strong>Time-Travel Tip:</strong> Don't try to ask for substitutions or omissions; the as-is attitude is part of the tradition.</p>
