Square Burger - Unique Gastropub Experience in McKinney, TX

Went to Square Burger tonight for date night, and this place just doesn't disappoint!! I've been several times, and I've not ever had anything that wasn't really good!! The grilled cheese & tomato soup was the best I've had in quite a while, and as was evidenced by his empty plate, clearly my hubby liked the roasted chicken, potato purée & mixed vegetables!!! The service is always great, and the food is delicious!! It's really a hidden gem in downtown McKinney . . . also reasonably priced!!

FOOD: I had the Square Burger medium, with Swiss all the way (which inc. a leaf of leafy lettuce, one slice of medium tomato, & a thin slice of red onion), on a toasted bun. Condiments on the side. * Hot, cooked just right, seasoned well, good flavor. Large order of Onion Strings (enough for 2-3 to share) * Hot, perfectly fried crisp with "..dust of sweet & spicy cajun blend". Rusty had the Fish & Chips Sandwich. * Hot, light batter, good seasoning. * Chips are thick cut potato fries, average. Nothing special, but good. Drinks: *Shiner on tap (2). Good as usual. * Dirty Vodka Martini (1). Good, STRONG-definitely not shorting you in the vodka. Been awhile since I've had a martini, so when I say it was strong it may have just been me. However it was very good! * Sweet Tea (1) perfect! Total $ 55 before Tip SERVICE: Very good. We sat at the bar, and Derek was great! Attentive, friendly, laid back, never rushed us. AMBIANCE: We were there around 2:00pm on a Friday, so it wasn't loud, or crowded. College football on one TV and Terminator: Dark Fate on another. Relaxed atmosphere, clean, simple style inside. They also have a small patio with a few tables, where they allow dogs, accompanied by their human of course . Good, would definitely return, I reserve 5 stars for Wonderful or Excellent! So nothing bad reflected on Square Burger.

What a great surprise trying Square Burger for the first time. Went against grain and ordered a cheesesteak with side salad. The beef was flavorful and tender and the French role was nicely toasted and flakey. You can't have a good cheesesteak without a great roll. To top it off, i also had sweet potatoes fries - so delicious. I will certainly go back again.

Great spot for burgers and drinks while watching the game on a Monday night. It's never busy, and although the service is slow, the servers are really nice. They have an expansive drink selection, and the burger options are creative, unique, and delicious. Both the French fries and sweet potato fries are fantastic--thin, crispy, and well-seasoned.

Love this place. Every other place was packed so we stumbled upon this gem. There is ample outdoor and indoor seating. They have a full bar and a large menu full of options. I typically don't eat beef burgers so I opted for the tuna burger! Wow it's was so flavorful and the waiter was right; it tasted like sushi. The sweet potato fries were bomb. Better than the regular fries. The service was great and good came out quickly even with it being a busy Saturday. Overall looking forward to coming back. Such a good place for families and friends to gather. Very laid back atmosphere.

Okay, so we didn't actually eat here tonight.... We sat down, got a couple waters and looked over the menu and we just weren't feeling it. It didn't seem like the burgers came with any sides, so a side of French fries were $3-6 extra. However, the waiter was fast and friendly. We might give this place another shot some other time. But tonight it just didn't do it for us.

Set in quiet, unhurried oldtown McKinney, nice minimalist dream spot. Just step in, pick a seat, and drink order taken almost as soon as you sit. Server greets you nicely. Laid back 70s rock playing... Doobie bros., Chicago, love the vibe of soft 70s rock? This is heaven.. "Momma Told Me Not to Come".. is playing now. Mine didn't tell me not to come here. Had she, I would've anyway. It's Sunday, but they have a nice little crowd. This means they must be serving up good eats. Wife order a classic cheeseburger, I ordered a BBQ cheddar with onion strings. Will let you know after what the flavors were like. Pictures do not do the big burger taste justice. As gorgeous as they look, they taste 1000% better. Onion straws? Perfectly seasoned, not salty, not greasy at all. Perfectly done. Came out to view new homes in Melissa. Sadly, unless we buy out here, we won't be able to just drive the hour from Hurst for this burger. If you live within a half hour, well worth it. Peace y'all.
