Pick-quick Drive In

I remember driving by the original 1940's deco 'Pick Quick' burgers in Fife often as a kid. But was never allowed to eat there do to my parents' health food obsession. Forward a few decades, had my first PQ burger at the Seattle location during the pandemic. It's everything I'd hoped it would be. Their thousand-island style "fry sauce" goes well on fries AND burgers (buy an extra sauce, you'll need it). The meat is pretty standard seasoning-wise, but tasty. The lettuce, raw onion and tomato are fresh and crisp. Although the burgers are smaller than competitive items at other burger joints (a tad bit larger than a slider) with fries and a shake they manage to fill you up quite successfully. Their shakes are pretty decent and the fries are much better than average. I eat here about once a season (3-4 times a year).

Sounds silly but seriously one of the better cheese burgers I have had in years. It was fresh and juicy and the toppings were present but not overwhelming. If you are craving that classic American cheeseburger this is the place to get one. Shakes and fries were also quite good but the burger is what will bring me back.

This review is solely for the fries - that's all they had for me to eat at this location. I came to this location hoping to find a grilled cheese sandwich, only to be surprised by the vastly reduced menu here. The fries are awful. They're those fresh shoestring type that never get crispy and go soggy in an instant. Not for me, thanks.

We were on a trip, and we were hungry so we went here because it was nearby. Pick-Quick had a really cool building, nice neon lights and a cool design. The inside was closed so we had to go through the drive through. Pick quick had a small and simple menu, extremely cheap prices, and really great food. I got a deluxe bacon cheeseburger and it was absolutely delicious, bacon was crisp, the patties were nice and fresh, the lettuce and tomato tasted good. My Reece's milkshake was great, and the fries were pretty good. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We spent less then $30 and it fed all 3 of us. Overall, a really fun and delicious experience, 5/5
