Dick’s Drive-In in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood.
All parents know that the task of putting food in our families is unrelenting. If you play your cards right, you can mark one dinner this week in the “done” column. And it’ll cost just pennies.
In honor of its 69th anniversary this year, iconic local chain Dick’s Drive-In will once again offer 1954 prices on its burgers. That’s 19 cents apiece for hamburgers and cheeseburgers.
But take careful note that the deal is offered only at select locations, on select dates. This week, different Dick’s locations will offer the 19-cent burgers as follows:
- Tuesday, Jan. 24: Get your 19-cent burgers at the Wallingford and Broadway Dick’s locations.
- Wednesday, Jan. 25: Get your 19-cent burgers at the Lake City, Holman Road and Crossroads Dick’s locations.
- Thursday, Jan. 26: Get your 19-cent burgers at the Queen Anne, Edmonds and Kent Dick’s locations.
The fine print
The offer is limited to one 19-cent burger per customer present, per day, either a hamburger or cheeseburger. You can’t order extra burgers for your kids at home or friends in the car, but if your family of four is standing there at the window, you can order four 19-cent burgers.
Pay close attention to the dates and locations listed. Other menu items are regular price — and everything will be the regular price if you go to the wrong location on the wrong day!
Find the addresses of all of Dick’s locations online. Dick’s Drive-In restaurants open at 10:30 a.m. and stay open way past bedtime.
As with all free or supercheap food offers, we recommend that families pack their patience and adopt a celebratory attitude.
Fun facts: Lots of folks know that Macklemore & Ryan Lewis filmed some of their “White Walls” video at Dick’s on Broadway in 2013, but did you know that Seattle legend Sir Mix-a-Lot was already getting def at that very same Dick’s way back in 1988?
