There are better burgers in the world than those served at Dick's. There are better burgers in Seattle. There are probably better burgers within stumbling distance of some of the various Dick's locations. But the one thing Dick's has going for it that all those other places don't? Dick's will always be there for you whenever you need it most. With a late-night schedule, a walk-up, cash-only business model, and a limited menu of burgers, fries, and shakes that are actually way better than they need to be, considering the condition of many of Dick's most ardent last-call fans, Dick's operates something like an oasis in the Sahara?a place where all the disparate travelers can gather to stand in line, buy a bag full of simple burgers, and eat them while sitting on the hoods of their cars. Dick's is the kind of place that no city can be without: elderly, a little bit too gauche for proper foodies, and too horrifying for anyone who values their health, but perfect for serving good, cheap food fast to those who need it most. ?Jason Sheehan Five area locations, ddir.com
