Krista marie ImusSeptember 29, 2017Great burgers. A bit on the smaller side but well loaded. Don't bother with the different salts, they'll just bounce off. just dip your fries or tots in a side of one of their delicious aioli sauces.
Andreas SchreiberJune 23, 2017Great place for having a burger experiment. Had the Chuck Norris which is definitely a burger that beats all other burgers in the world. Believe me. It's true.
- AFAR MediaAugust 4, 2014You can get enormous, super-customized burgers (pictured here is the Truffle Love), tater tots with a variety of seasoning blends, and amazingly delicious milkshakes. Read more
David SickelsSeptember 6, 2019Kobe Burgers, Snoqualmie Ice Cream Shakes, and Hand crafted Salts & Sauces! Try the Burger of the gods: Blue Cheese, Candied Balsamic Onions, and Gorgonzola spread!
MjB JdIJanuary 17, 2016It's a great little spot for burgers and the customer service has been good the 2 times I've been. I'm not much of a beer drinker but these were 1.25 and they were good. Burgers were good and filling.
Ben WebsterJune 20, 2015Get the James West - beef patty cooked with a cowboy steak rub, with Guajillo cream cheese, bacon, BBQ sauce and onion rings. 😵 add a fried egg - you won't regret it.
CellaMarch 7, 2015The burgers and milkshakes are really good. There's almond joy, all the Neapolitan flavors, banana crime pie, different candy bar flavors, and Nutella milkshake are all good.
P JNovember 30, 2015Great selection of unique burgers made to order (or build your own) plus tasty cocktails and shakes.
Nat HarwardJuly 9, 2013Almond Joy. Weekly News, and with use of local Snoqualmie Ice Cream and homemade chocolate ganache, there's no question why shakes like Boston Crème Donut took home the prize. Read more
Stacy Hotes-ApratoAugust 7, 2015I tend to do a make your own burger version, but the veggie patties are good. I also am a sucker for the peanut butter cup smoothie.
EpicuriousJuly 26, 2011Modestly named “Burger of the Gods,” this heavenly burger is a mix of freshly ground sirloin, prime rib, and rib eye, topped with sweet onions and sharp Gorgonzola sauce. Need we say more?
Daniel MaziniOctober 25, 2013Yummy greasy burgers. Have been here a couple of times always trying something different as there are many options. So far all great
The smokey burger is more bacon than patty and that is not a put down. Not only do they offer the best burgers, but they have tater tots! For adults. I love the place.
EverydayJuly 17, 2013Great place to hang out! Burgers are HUGE and I recommend sharing or taking half home. Request your shake to be in beaker to look SUPEEEER nerdy!
Ulysses .April 10, 2017Fantastic burgers in person but not via delivery. Try the one loaded with a couple different kinds of mushrooms.
Justin LisenbyNovember 11, 2017Cheese curds were awesome. I got mine with BBQ sauce. Burgers are great, custom design your own.
The Tribute to the Dicks Deluxe is pricier than the original, but also bigger, messier & comparatively loaded. I like the natural light at this location. It was what I wanted when I wanted it.
Any Burger with truffle mayo and sweet potato fries with honey mustard sauce 😋- AFAR MediaAugust 4, 2014Try the "dork" (duck + pork) patty. Happy hour features $4 drinks plus discounted burgers, fries, and milkshakes. Read more
Hussein AhmedNovember 1, 2014Best kosher corn dogs ever! The Mediterranean burger with lamb and feta cheese is phenomenal!
Andrew PetersenApril 10, 2017Very good burger and good fries. Interesting menu and a good selection.
Martin MálekSeptember 7, 2013I had Santa FeSlammer. It was good but I was epecting more after reading all the reviews. The meat was good, bun was nothing special, but the additional ingredients excess the taste of the meat.
Awesome burgers, and an intriguingly off-beat menu. Definitely try a milkshake.
Anthony DecenaJune 4, 2013If you're lucky enough to walk in on a day when they have the Snickers Shake, don't leave without trying it!
Helps to wait for coupons or specials, but it's one of the best burgers in Seattle. Shakes are great too.
Go for the garlic tots! The homage to Dick's Deluxe is by far my favorite!
amberApril 17, 2015such friendly staff, great atmosphere. milkshakes were a little too sweet but I'd definitely go again
Christopher BuckleyOctober 6, 2017Make your own burger from the ingredients list on the bottom right of the menu.- Tyler HuntApril 28, 2013The sweet potato fries with sweet chili mayo were excellent, but avoid the dork (duck and pork) and stick with the beef burgers.
Maria GradyFebruary 13, 2013Beware of satan's tears other than that all the cocktails are delicious and the Mac and cheese is a MUST
Mario SantosFebruary 13, 2011as a patron of the original location, i am disappointed-don't care for the upscale ambiance & while the burgers still taste pretty good, the price went up to $14 & the patties went from 1/2 to 1/4lb
Liz TJuly 21, 2012Don't know any other place that offers Gluten-free buns!! Great service, great food, open late, dog's ok.
The Elvis shake is bomb! Who can go wrong w/chocolate, peanut butter, banana, and booze?
JoshuaMarch 22, 2011Sad! After hearing so many wonderful things, we took an adventure to see the new location. Small burgers (nothing like the pictures online) small shots, red robinesque decor. I could go on...
Jason MONKEY RobertsonMarch 25, 2011Yess you can order extra bacon!!! The dicks is a great burger... And when you think you are ready try it with extra bacon!
We were told the happy hour menu is "in transition". She handed us the specials menu (same specials all day) and said that's the new happy hour. No deals to be found. Won't be coming back for happy hr
Daniel HuntMay 20, 2011Might - MIGHT - live up to its sky-high hype. Def the best burger I've had in Seattle, hands down. "Burger of the Gods."
The Nutella Shake so delicious! I'm not really into burgers, but I must say, I was very impressed by their burgers!
Where else can you get Tang, 2 different flavors of kool aid and Tator Tots with your meal!?! Plus Kick ass hour kicks ass!!!
If you ever want a burger so delicious you want to have its baby, eat here. Also, tater tots.- Get a Nesquick shake - they're sooooo delicious and they come in a breaker!

"They have a vegan soyrizo breakfast taco, and some vegan donuts! For Americanos remember that all sizes use two shots of espresso so you might want to add one or two for that extra pick me up."
