Damn, one of you must REALLY dislike what I said in here to change my title to Low Class Diner. At least have it be grammatically correct if you're going to punish me for a while. "Low-class" should be hyphenated. You can definitely change it back to what it was instead if you feel so inclined, however.
Wasn't me, but currently I'm chuckling like hell at the fact .NET's worst Grammar Nazi has a custom title with a grammatical error in it. That's gonna eat at you like remembering you left the stove on just prior to bailing on vacation.

It's supremely ironic that you point that out about me, when you're a published author who also lacks proper hyphenation in his own title on this forum. Keep laughing, "bad-ass" chucklehead.

I didn't write my moniker, but "badass" is the badass way of spelling "bad-ass". Just because your spell check doesn't like it doesn't mean it isn't valid.

The only spelling checker I use is what's between my ears, mo-fo! Also, if you say so. *Pats Sailor's head*

I wanted to circle back to the original topic and say you're crazy. Best burger in town.
Just had a buddy who's a Tacoma guy and just recently had the pleasure of going to the Red Mill at the Interbay location, he loved it. Thought it was amazing, and can't stop talking about it.

No doubt. I could win the Powerball tomorrow and I'd still walk around in jeans and a Seahawks T. It'd just be nicer jeans and some sweet Nike's... and perhaps a game-worn, autographed Walter Jones jersey . Believe me... I've actually put thought into this!

Is this where I go on a rant about the continued degradation of formal attire? Meh, not today.
I get the need to be comfortable, but if I'm going to go eat somewhere nice, I'm going to look nice and dress nice. Fits the mood and the vibe and I dig it.
If I'm going to Dicks, I'm probably going to be drunk on Bud Light and wearing a sweatshirt and jeans.
Got another overrated burger joint, Triple X Burgers in Issaquah. I like the old school feel but the burger, the actual meat, is thin and flavorless, no matter how you dress it up, how messy it is, I still don't feel like I get my moneys worth.

My 2 cents on the burger thing: If you're ever in Long Beach, Washington, drive about 1 mile north of the main beach access road (Bolstad St.) to the Corral Drive-In on the right. Look sharp, 'cause it's easy to miss. Their burgers are amazing! The wife and I go to Long Beach at least once a year, and 1 or 2 meals are reserved for that place. If you have 6-12 people, they offer what they call the "Tsunami" burger. It's as big as a family size pizza! And they slice it up like a pizza. You have to order 24 hours in advance because the bun is custom made from a bakery in downtown Long Beach. The wife and I met up with my step-daughter and 3 of her friends making it 6 total, including 2 pretty big 20-something guys, and we only made it 2/3rds of the way through it. And it was absolutely delicious! Something I was a little skeptical of, thinking it was just kind of a gimmick burger. They actually ran a story on the place on Evening Magazine several years ago. They have this massive spatula and when they flip this massive burger, the whole staff yells "TSUNAMI!!!". lol... It was pretty funny... and fun. But besides that, their regular burgers are NOT to be missed if you're ever in Long Beach. Fun little town with lots of stuff to do too. Don't miss Marsh's free museum with the famous "Jake, the alligator man". And take your kites, or buy 'em there!

Bud light says it all. You probably don't own a tie. Unless you shop at Ross.

Lol. Drinking Bud Light is basically saying "I'm average and I want a beer that's just as average"

Hahaha, well played.
Rarely drink Bud Light, used it as a cheapness begets cheapness. If I'm eating a cheeseburger for 2.25, I'm drinking a beer that costs the same.

Just are at Cutters. It sucked. The service was worse than the food and the portions were even a bigger joke.

We went to McCormick and Schmicks last night for dinner. It was disappointing. The food was alright, not great, but the experience lacked big time. I'm not a seafood expert. I asked if they had something similar to oysters Rockefeller. She said no but they did have four different oyster choices to choose from and if I ordered the dozen I could get three of each. I said okay and there were four different types of basically the same oyster. None were prepared or had any additional toppings etc. I guess that's on me to a certain degree for not inquiring prior to ordering.
It also happened to be my birthday so while I was using the little boys room my wife asked if there anything they could do. The waitress told her that if we bought a dessert they cou ld put a candle on it. Really?
Dick's is pretty overrated. There's a burger joint in Tacoma called "Burger Ranch" that is just as good imo.
There were a couple burger ranch in Yakima, I loved that place!

Daniels I have found is very good..but not up to its reputation. It sis a toss up with the Met. Grill IMO I like Salty's for out of town visitors a lot is to be said for the view. Dicks I agree is very over rated El Guacho is $$$ but I have not had a bad meal there

I've been to In & out one time, and it was horrible. I've had so many people rave about it, last time my wife and I were in San Fran we stopped by one. It was crowded, dirty, the people behind the counter were angry/rude. We got our food (order was wrong but whatever) no place to sit so we just kinda stood on the side and made do. The burgers were bland and dry, fries were horrible. We just kinda looked at each other and were like whats the big deal about this place? Dumped the remainder of food and left.
Now in saying this I realize this was probably an aberration I hope?? You can't really judge by one visit. Maybe this place was the worst out of all the franchises? Caught them on a bad day? Who knows.
As of right now, I'll take a Deluxe or Special, fries and a shake over anything at In & Out. Now even if In & Out was all that people say, doubt it would hurts Dick's too much, it's a nostalgia thing here in Seattle. Even if its not the best burger in the world, sometimes you want the burger you had when you were a kid with your dad after a baseball game, or the burger you remember with your drunk college buddies at 1am.
