The Family Drive In in Kent just off of West Valley Highway has great burgers but there is no inside dining so get it to go or go on a nice sunny day and sit at the picnic table.

Well, we tried the famous Dick's burger today. We weren't impressed at all. The price was nice $11.00 for 2 of us for lunch is nice, but the burger was sorta along the McDonalds line. The XXX Rootbeer place still hold #1 for us.

XXX makes a much better burger than Dick's. Dick's is a place to go at 2AM when you're sh*tfaced, when gourmet sensibilities are not an utmost priority.

Pittgal, I'm sorry you weren't impressed with Dick's. Honestly the burgers there are not all that great...the few times a year that I go there are due mostly to nostalgia.
But, at least you can say that you have now eaten at a Seattle "institution"...

I agree, except that I think their burgers are really good, for fast food. I'd take that over McDonald's, Wendy's or Jack in the Box any day.

It's been a couple years since I've eaten there though, so it's not the place I'm headed to when I want the best burger I can get my hands on.

If you like Red Mill burgers, give Blue Moon Burgers a try. There's one in Fremont and one in South Lake Union. I'd say their burgers were slightly better than Red Mill, and their fires are much better. Welcome to Blue Moon Burgers - Your Destination for Mouthwatering and Delicious Hamburgers!

Mentioning Red Mill again ...a lot of folks I've talked to used to tell me that Scooter's in Ballard will beat a Red Mill burger.

If you're ever in the area, I'd suggest to give it a try. I had a burger there once but it didn't seem that memorable to me but I think it was because of the company I was with, not the food.

I think it's on 24th NW just a couple of blocks off of Market.


Does anybody remember Gulliver's in downtown Bellevue? That was my favorite back in the 70's and 80's.

Gullivers? Sure, NE 8th and Bellevue Way....they had another one on 148th which wasn't as good.

Yup, yup! Yeah, that's right... and didn't they have another one in Crossroads?
