Dick’s Drive-In is giving away free cheeseburgers and hamburgers to celebrate their 57th anniversary Tuesday and offering 10-cent cokes all day Friday.

The annual Seattle tradition is one some guys enjoy as much as their wives love the Nordstrom anniversary sale.

To get a free burger Tuesday, people must buy one cheeseburger at the regular $1.40 price. The limit is three free burgers, and the offer lasts from 2 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

The Friday promotion isn’t limited to Cokes. Any size Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, root beer and lemonade is 10 cents.

Dick Spady and two business partners opened the first location 57 years ago Thursday at 111 N.E. 45th Street. Now one of five locations, it had its first remodel in 2007, adding a service window and expanding the grill size.

The others are Broadway (115 Broadway Ave. E.), Holman Road (9208 Holman Road N.W.), Lake City (12325 30th Ave. N.) and Queen Anne (500 Queen Anne Ave. N.).

Seattleites should note the Broadway location is the only Dick’s without a painting of a steer.

On Oct. 15 – Spady’s 87th birthday – company officials announced a new location would be built in Edmonds. They said it would have the same style as the other outdoor locations, designed by architect Raymond H. Peck. The Queen Anne location, the only one with indoor seating, was the last of the restaurants built in 1974.
