"Red-blooded vegan burgers" by Benjamin Johnstone-Anderson (86 reviews)
May 10, 2007 - A little-known fact:  Dick's isn't where to go in Seattle when you want a burger fix.  Hillside Quickies, which also has sister locations on Capitol Hill and in Tacoma, offers delicious, meaty burgers that contain no meat whatsoever.  The Mama Africa Burger combines tofu with African spices to perfection.  Not only does it taste like a burger, it tastes like a damn good burger.  Also great is the Mac and Yease (made of nutritional yeast and at least 20 times better than it sounds).  This isn't vegan food for the anorexic hippie set.  It's greasy, meaty and satisfying.
I do have a few good-natured half-complaints.  When I say greasy, I mean greasy; it may turn some off.  Prices here are high, not all so surprising considering the preparation difficulty, and things take a while to cook.  I also must say that while the U-District shop has the best selection of the three, I was very much disappointed that they serve fries in lieu of the rice dish on the side that the other locations give (which is much better and much more fitting).  Still, though, this is a great place.
Minor differences only between the U-District and Cap Hill locales:  U-District is physically much larger and with a few more menu items, and the U-District locale is closed on Sundays.  The Capitol Hill location is a little funkier and younger, with KEXP in lieu of NPR and green paint that borders on bad taste but ends up just contributing to the vibe.
Recommended.
