This isn't an overly large place, so be mindful when you visit as you might incur a wait. We ordered a couple loyo burgers, fries, and a double order of the wings. The burger was a typical smash burger, but didn't come with fries, so we ordered some. The fries were crispy and salted. The wings were probably the best part of the meal. The sauce was slightly different from a usual wing sauce, but IMO, was better. It was so good we had to order some more wings. Overall, what we ordered was fine and in case of the wings, quite tasty. Outside of the regular burger, everything seemed pricey for what it was. But this is likely the new normal, unfortunately. read more

Loyo Burger - Burgers Near Me - McKinney, Texas

I wouldn't recommend dining here if you have children. My twin toddlers were getting antsy, so a member of our group took them out to the car to avoid disturbing others. Instead of recognizing that we were simply trying to keep things calm and courteous, multiple staff members decided to assume we were attempting to dine-and-dash. We asked for to-go boxes, received them, and then--almost immediately--were accused of trying to skip out on the bill. At no point did anyone in our party indicate we weren't planning to pay. It's disappointing when a restaurant is quicker to make baseless accusations than to offer basic hospitality. Needless to say, we won't be returning--there are plenty of restaurants that understand how to treat paying customers with professionalism, respect, and maybe even a little common sense. read more

What I'm most impressed about and the reason for 4 star is the quality of service. He made sure we got taken care of, we never ran out of drinks and he made sure to check on us if we need anything. We like the toppings on the fries , although the fries itself it's just average a bit too oily. The salad was okay , my son and our friend both like burger ( one is spicy and the other one is the lonestar burger). The place was of average noise . They had happy hour and the drinks and food was discounted, so it was nice . All in all we like our experience, maybe I will try other food next time . read more

Waygu burgers for all!! Husband and I joined a work party and we were very pleased with the experience. This is a strip mall location, so plenty of parking available and easy access. It's a quaint location, but they were able to accommodate our large group of 20 plus. All the food came out quickly and effortlessly at the same time. We happened to be there for happy hour, so enjoyed several apps, including the Waygu nachos and pretzel bites with beer cheese. All delish!! You can get your burger with lettuce or a bun, which is great for gluten free peeps!! We loved the LOYO burger, and I tried the bucking' berry burger as well, which was fabulous!! Def get the onion rings too!! Meat was cooked perfectly and oh so soft!! They do have cocktails and their Ironroot martini is absolutely something y'all need to try. Sweet and hit all the notes, great pairing with the burger!! Hoping for a closer location soon ne day but we will def hit this place back up if in the area. read more

Really enjoyed trying this restaurant that my Texas relatives love! The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and the food was delicious. Shared the Wagyu beef nachos, Wagyu yaki burger, and the Loyo burger with my mom and sister, and we enjoyed all of it. I especially loved the flavors in the nachos, which was a hearty sharing size. I look forward to coming again the next time I visit my cousins. read more

Took the family to Downtown McKinney and we always seem to end up at loyal Burger. We each had a loyal burger, dressed with extra sides. Everyone enjoyed it. The sweet potato fries were exceptionally good. We will continue to make pitstops there when going to downtown McKinney. read more

Loyo has a clean, cool dining area that can accommodate groups of different sizes (we had a group of 7 adults and 1 baby and could all sit at the same table). The food is delicious and very shareable! Everything tasted great, but I especially loved the Wagyu nachos packed with flavor and fresh ingredients. The Wagyu yaki burger actually shares the top spot for me because of that delicious grilled pineapple. If I lived closer I would definitely come here often! read more

I really wanted to like this place! My family and I stopped in tonight (Thursday 5/8/24), we were instructed by the bartender to take a seat anywhere we liked. We sat near the restroom in a booth. My family and I sat for 15 minutes without a server or any other waitstaff checking on us, asking us if we were ready to order. I certainly hope this was just out of the ordinary... we instead walked next door to union bear and were sat, with drinks ordered within 5 minutes. Not what we wanted, but... service timing speaks volumes. Note: 2 different servers noticed us, one stopping to have a conversation with a nearby table for 5+ minutes. read more

Highly recommend. We had the wagyu smashburgers and garlic sea salt tater tots. Sooo good. Plus our server, Nicholas, was top notch. A plus was the gluten free buns and dedicated gluten free fryer!!! read more

We arrived at 7pm and there were only two tables seated outside, and the inside wasn't very busy. Despite that, we waited 30 minutes without even being greeted, while the tables next to us had two different servers helping them. Several staff members walked past us and never acknowledged we were waiting, even with our toddler. At one point, I even saw a waiter sit down at a booth. I understand he may have been tired or near the end of his shift, but he could've let someone know that there was a table waiting outside. I eventually went inside to ask if they were seating outdoors, and they said yes. The host went to speak with the waiter who had been sitting down, and after a brief exchange, she came out and offered to take care of us. At that point, we politely declined and left. Overall, it was a really disappointing experience, and we won't be returning. read more

Came here on a Monday night and found out that they have happy hour all day long. They were busy, but the service was great. We enjoyed the fried pickles, the loaded fries, the loyo burger, and a milkshake. There were plenty of tables to seat at and they also have a bar area. We enjoy a light beer and went with the 903 Yocal beer, which was a great recommendation. read more

Best burger in North Texas. I'm a member of a burger club that have tried over 50 different places in the far north texas area. Hands down the # 1 burger. Good service and the old gas station converted into a restraunt works. read more

Stopped by here for lunch on Monday and couldn't have been happier with everything. The staff were very friendly, the place is immaculate, the food was absolutely fantastic. I don't eat burgers very often, this place may change that. This was the best burger I've ever had. My friend was visiting the past ten days and he said this was his favorite meal out of everywhere we ate. The churros were fantastic, so yummy. I will be back many times. read more

I was walking and doing some shopping in historic downtown McKinney with family when we got hungry and stopped for some hamburgers, I like that they finally let you sit at the tables and someone takes your order, it wasn't like that before. The burgers looks a little small but taste good. The kids who work there are friendly, inside nice. loved the churros for dessert! read more

Recommend you... Go! This place is brand spanking new. They still have some bugs to work out but, I plan on returning to update my review. My burger seemed a tad small and not enough cheese. I did not like the Kiosk order situation and completed my entire visit with no personal contact which Im not a fan of. When I entered ,I stood waiting for the bartender(right in front of me) to direct me or someone to come out of the back and greet me but, Nothing. I struggled but finally put my order into the kiosk, and found my drink and seat. About 10 minutes later someone sat my order down in front of me without comment. The burger was hot and fresh and the fries were excellent. The space is pleasant and Im sure they will be a success here. I just expected a little more based on some other burgers being served up as competition in the area. Check it out. read more

The salmon burger and garlic tots were absolutely delicious! My husband also got the spicy viquero burger and said it was delicious. They also have great gluten free accommodations (delicious and soft gf bun and separate fryers). Best burger off the square! read more

Ok, I just woke up from a food coma. Tried LOYO for lunch today after church. Beautiful location, clean, and friendly staff. Ordered a burger, shake, and all the usual sides. Onion rings, tots, regular and sweet potato fries. I listed them in order or tastiness. Onion rings were great. Tots really good. Both fries were average but well seasoned. My whole group raved about their burgers. Juicy and delicious. I tried one of the chicken tenders from one of the kids meal, great. Real chicken seasoned and breaded well without disgusting over breading which is a thing at a lot of places. Not here. The shakes were a good size and tasty. Classic chocolate vanilla strawberry options. I was trying everything everyone had and loved it. Ate too much, but that's my true compliment to them. I'm not an over eater but couldn't help myself. Oh and the prices were so reasonable. Will definitely be back. Oh and they offer a happy hour. Happy to write this review sad I didn't take photos. Will add some next time. read more

I really liked everything. Food is fresh and bun on the burger was fresh and toasted just right. I got the Yaki burger because I wanted something different. It was good but due to all the adds, I couldn't really taste the meat- but it was good. Pork rinds are great. Fried pickles are hand made but the batter will fall apart. Service was great. Only reason to knock off a star is that they don't serve Coke or Pepsi products for soft drinks. They serve that "real cane sugar" brand and I do NOT like. read more

The food was spectacular. All locally sourced ingredients you can tell were grown from love. Will be back

Great food with fairly clean ingredients. Love knowing where they get their beef! Our family comes here often and we love it.

Amazing burgers and great service. Drinks were also good. Overall, we had a great time and will be adding this to our restaurant rotation.

Food was amazing love that everything tasted so fresh. The Wagyu patties were amazing. Best tater tots I've ever had and loved how the place looked on the inside. It gave off a very chill vibe. Service was amazing I had asked about two of the sauces and they brought them out with fries for us to try so that was great overall would come back love this place. read more

Loyo Burger - Cowboys breakfast - Burgers Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Great food ... fresh ingredients and well put together. I ordered the Spicy Vaquero and my wife ordered the Flybird chicken sandwich. Our sides were onion rings and garlic tater tots. All of it was excellent. Staff were friendly all around. And since the weather was nice, we sat outside. Their location is perfect... not noisy and away from square traffic. Highly recommend trying this place. Best burger in McKinney. IMO. read more

Went with my family, I don't eat beef, so I was excited to try the salmon burger. They were out, so I decided to try the veggie burger. It was the most flavorless thing I've ever tried. It tasted like cardboard smashed between a massive chunk of lettuce (that I couldn't even eat) and what should've been flavorful things, but were lost in the cardboard patty. I didn't even finish and server never asked how it was, so I just left it. Service was pleasant and I'm sure the beef burger was fine. I'm just really disappointed at the lack of options for non-beef eaters. I would have done a turkey or grilled chicken, if it was an option. read more

I really want to love this place, but for now, I've gotta stick with 4 stars. I love the burger at Local Yocal and recommend it to others often, and Loyo does several things well, but in order to get that 5th star, I think there's work to be done still. The location is cute, it reminded me a lot of the now closed Grind burger. Large wooden bar, modern farmhouse decor vibes, and the place was clean and cute. We ordered at the bar but there's also an option to order via kiosk. I can see the kiosks being a great way for someone to order who really wants to customize the heck out of their burger and make sure it goes to the kitchen just right, but for those who don't want to do that, they will take your order at the bar. Loyo proudly stands behind their wagyu beef pattys and unfortunately this is where I felt like the food was lacking a little. It was juicy, it was cooked just fine...but it lacked flavor. Im not sure if it was a lack of seasoning or a leaner beef, but it was just missing something. The bun was good. The toppings were fine. The house burger sauce was just okay, so I'd definitely choose a different burger on a return visit. The fries were good and seasoned well but the star at our table were the tater tots. Those are excellent and probably the best choice for a takeout order, they'd hold up well over fries I'm sure. No coke or Pepsi here, they serve the real sugar soda line, as well as a full bar for those inclined. We do plan on returning and giving it another try, and sampling some other things off of the menu. We like the vibe, we like everything else we have seen out of the Local Yocal group. Food: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Price: 5/5 - For the quality of food, pricing felt very fair. Note - It's right by sugar bacon in front of a big free lot but this lot is often full, so parking can be a bit of a challenge during certain times of the day. read more

Hubby and I visited on a very busy Thursday afternoon and were super impressed with the Wagyu Yaki burger and very cold beer. The owner, Matt, was super attentive. If you want to say hi to him, he's the one with the cowboy hat. The wait for food was a bit long but it's their first week so no problem. You can order from a kiosk or from someone behind the bar. They have a great outdoor patio with a large TV. We will definitely be back Sunday to watch the game! read more

Loyo Burger - Dan Burger & Tots - Burgers Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Had the spicy vaquero (which was spicy and delicious) and a fresh basket of perfectly seasoned sweet potatoes fries. The food was phenomenal , the service could be improved. Walking in, we weren't greeted, neither were there signs to explain how to order etc. We waited a while just standing there not knowing if someone would sit us down or what the deal was.. until the bartender said "are you ready to order?" Ready to order, we haven't even looked at your menu yet. She then said , you order here first, then go sit. Gotcha! The burgers came out fast and were absolutely delicious. We will be coming back but this time we know the drill so no standing around catching flies. Side note, compared to Square Burger , this place has my vote 100000%. Everything is perfectly seasoned. read more

Food is quality when served correctly. Sever was having a bad day and didn't want to be bothered. My son ordered his burger plain and dry. Meat, cheese and bun only. Somehow, they thought scraping off the mustard and taking off the pickles was good customer service. We waited for utensils and condiments until our food was cold. They ended up messing up his burger again. Oh and no refills. Anyway... we came here to celebrate my birthday and it was a fail. Maybe next time... read more

Loyo Burger - No pickles means they just take it back and peel them off. Sad. - Burgers Near Me - McKinney, Texas

This is a neat place in downtown McKinney. Burgers are above average, wait staff was friendly and attentive.

Best burger place in downtown Mckinney. Fast service. And great food at reasonable prices.

We had a wonderful experience when we came in today. The manager Jason was awesome and our server was Connor he is fantastic! The food was so good. I would definitely suggest the pickles they make them in house as with most of the other food selection. This is definitely a farm to market kind of place. Everything here is local and the food is so good and the service is amazing.. A++++++ read more

Food was delicious! I got a burger and so did my spouse. The tater tots are practically perfection! Crispy, salty, yum!!

Went last night with my youngest son. He ordered the Cowboy breakfast burger, it looked amazing and he was very impressed. Said it was the perfect combination of savory with a hint of sweet. I had a McKinney melt, it was perfectly cooked the onions were actually sautéed like they should be, and the rye was excellent. Our waitress was awesome and checked on us several times through the meal. The restaurant is well done inside with rough sawn wood and a full bar. I will definitely be back. read more
