2025 Centurion Award winner

Awarded against five published criteria, checked on public evidence.

Dick's Drive-In

Best Burger in Seattle · WA

Restaurant · Seattle, WA · Since 1954

The overview

Dick's Deluxe and hand-cut fries since 1954.

Dick's Drive-In has been Seattle's burger institution since 1954, when Dick Spady opened the Wallingford stand where the Deluxe, hand-cut fries and real-ice-cream shakes still cost a fraction of what you'd expect. It's as famous for paying its crews well and funding scholarships as for its late-night lines.

Walk-up, cash-friendly and stubbornly consistent for 70 years, Dick's is woven into the city's identity — and the 2025 Centurion Award winner in Seattle.
