2026 Centurion Award winner
Dick's Drive-In

Best Burger in Seattle · Seattle, WA
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 2026 Centurion Award winner in Seattle.
Each Centurion Award is a dated record tied to one year’s evaluation — earned annually, never carried over. Open a year for the full citation and verification details.
Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. Selection is by published criteria, never for sale.

This page is the standing record for Dick's Drive-In (2026). It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. For hours, bookings, and live reviews, go straight to the business itself.
If you’ve put in the years, you may already clear the bar. Evaluation is free, private, and never for sale.
