It's a place to go to say you've been there

Anyways, Dick's Burgers is something of a staple in the Seattle area. You can find them all around the area, so most people around here will know what you're talking about. The nice thing about this place, besides it's kind of old-school, local, drive-in kind of vibe is simply that it's relatively inexpensive, but I really have to say that's about all it really has going for it. On the plus side, you can't really go wrong, but then again, you can't really go right with Dick's.

The meat quality is alright, the burger in and of itself was on more of the insubstantial side, so it's easy to see why people go in ordering burgers in pairs. The meat isn't anything to write home about (if you're visiting) but it's better than the run-of-the-mill fast-food joint but nothing out of the ordinary. The bun is your typical enriched white bun, In terms of fixings, there isn't much, just some shredded lettuce, maybe some relish type stuff. The condiments is a kind of house-sauce, a sweetish kind of Thousand Island sauce, which is pretty good, was kind of watery when I had it though.

Fries were decent, of a soggier nature, but it's pretty good. Works well with the meal as a whole.
