Why this Seattle drive-in beats the global fast-food giants down the street

Lunch with Kenji: a double deluxe from Pick-Quick Drive-In, Seattle WA · 3:19 · Video: J. Kenji López-Alt · Watch at the source

In short: J. Kenji López-Alt reviews the double deluxe burger from Pick-Quick Drive-In in Seattle. This family-owned spot offers a classic West Coast drive-in experience that stands out against the nearby corporate chains.

The Pick-Quick Drive-In in the SODO neighborhood of Seattle is a personal favorite for its distinct flavor profile, which shares the classic West Coast style of In-n-Out but with superior sauce and fries. The double deluxe, customized with both raw and grilled onions, serves as the primary recommendation.

The establishment is family-owned and operates without any seating, requiring customers to either walk up or use the drive-through. Despite being located on a street shared with major chains like McDonald's, Subway, and Burger King, the quality of the food makes it the clear choice for a superior burger experience.
