Salumi
(Restaurants - Best Value)
309 3rd Ave S, Seattle  98104 • 206-621-8772
Distance: ~0.61 mi *
        Description: PIONEER SQUARE. For great Italian sausages, salamis, meatballs, or pork, try Salumi, whose name means "dry-cured meat" in Italian. Meats can be purchased individually as an entree or by the pound as deli take-away. If you prefer a lighter, less meat-intensive meal, order a salad, vegetable dish, or one of their pastas. A comfortable interior with tin ceilings and wooden floors makes guests feel at home, as does a large communal table where guests can share conversation with their meals. Wine is available by the glass or bottle.

Honey Court
(Restaurants - Best Value)
516 Maynard Ave S, Seattle  98104 • 206-292-8828
Distance: ~0.82 mi *
        Description: PIONEER SQUARE. Ideal for those looking for something a bit different that won't break the bank, this Chinese standby in the ID earns high marks from regulars. Honey Court emphasizes quality food, fresh ingredients, and friendly service over the fancy decor you might find at rival places. Specialties include steamed whole tilapia, sautéed fresh squid with broccoli, and shredded squab with crispy lettuce, but what the customers truly adore is honey-walnut prawns. In addition, the dim sum is a terrific lunch option. Weekends after the clubs shut down, Honey Court has been known to stay open even later than usual.

Dick's Drive-In
(Restaurants - Best Value)
115 Broadway Ave E, Seattle  98102 • 206-323-1300 • 206-634-0300

        Description: CAPITOL HILL. Choose one of Dick's five locations and return to the days of the '50s when you drive up to this fast food establishment. Burgers, fries, and shakes are ordered and eaten in the very same spot – your car. Burgers are always prepared the same way (no special orders accepted), and fries are consistently hot (no kidding). Plus, prices are pleasantly affordable, and the place stays open late.

Spicy beef soup and steamed rice cakes topped with ground shrimp and scallions are also popular, and the wide assortment of sauces and chili pastes that arrive with your meal allow you to customize it. Best of all, most of the entrees are around $6 or $7.
