Great alternative to big-franchise fast-food. The Pride Burger was tasty, as was the Grilled Chicken. Get the Curly Fries - they are better than the regular ones (though w/ some ketchup the regular was still tasty and I did appreciate that not everything was covered in salt). I like that there's multiple ways to get your food (drive-in, drive through, take out window, walk in). read more

Wanted this to be a really yummy hole in the wall, but just wasn't it. They couldn't take our debit card, so we had to pay cash. The inside is vintage and clean. The food just had no taste. Straight up beef patty. The sweet potato fries also had nothing on them. read more

You know, I honestly feel bad for giving this place a low score. I've been here twice recently. The first time I came, it was literally the best burger I ever had. Hot and fresh, seasoned perfectly. I was excited to give my money to a small business. I'm in this area quite often so I visited again a few days later...... and it was one of the worst burgers I've ever had. I didn't even finish it. It was over cooked and rubbery, and the seasoning that I tasted a few days previously? GONE. I was the only customer, so I can't blame it on them being busy or overwhelmed. This place is obviously hit and miss, so I doubt I'll be returning. read more

Great dive. I've ordered here several times and get the Chicken Strips and sometime the Cheesesticks. Good comfort food, chicken is crispy and the cheesesticks are fried to perfect with the right amount of cheesy-gooeyness! They also deliver via Uber Eats, which is convenient when I'm in the area, but can't seem to get out to grab a bite to eat. Can't wait to try more items on their menu! read more

Let's celebrate it properly by showing some love for one of McKinney's oldest and well loved spots - PRIDE BURGER! Located off 380/Kentucky, this old school burger, sandwich, chicken and snack dive has LEGIT Triple D vibes. If you are counting calories, this isn't your place babe. This is for people who don't mind grease stains and a good drive in. Wait? What was that? It's a drive in? Yes! It has a car port! It's small but there's typically always a spot. There's also indoor seating, but again...this is a small old well loved place. That's my nice way of saying it's not a Gordon Ramsay standard place. Also I'm going to just note that Chris loves the frito pies here, but beware of foul odors emanating from said behind of a person who just ate that. read more

"Constant Companion" and I have driven by Pride Burger 10+ times (aka the number of times we've eaten at Hutchins). At first, we'd joke "Do you just want to go there?" as we pointed at the run-down converted gas station. It was funny to us because it's a 40+ minute drive up to McKinney. However, we decided to go to Pride Burger on Friday with the intention of stopping at Hutchins for a few Texas Twinkies afterwards. The gas station turned restaurant feels like a small town diner. Honestly, it gave me flashbacks of the places my grandma would take me to in her tiny rural town. So, it had some nostalgia working for it from the get-go. CC and I each ordered a burger, and we got an order of fried pickles and a Frito pie to share. That plus two waters was almost 20 bucks, which was pretty pricey for such a divey place. After we ordered, we grabbed a booth and waited. It didn't take too long. The fried pickles we really good! They were a little too salty but great with ranch. The employee even brought us an extra ranch because she noticed that we used a lot of it. The Frito pie was fine. It was my first experience eating a Frito pie, and it seemed to meet the expectations. However, I'd still rather have fries instead. That's nothing against this specific Frito pie though. It's just my personal preference. Now, on to the burgers. Mine was extremely mediocre. I took a few bites and left about half on my plate. This is not a destination for burgers by any means. However, it has character and some nostalgia working for it. I can see why the old ladies and young teens were there. It's probably a nice option to have for locals. read more

It's old school but delicious! Old building but very clean! I always get the number two with cheese, the fries are so good we get an extra basket and share it. Only place I eat the fries. Try it you'll love it ! read more

The only thing that keeps this review from being better is that the patty on the bun is so small. Many of the bites are meatless. The meat flavor is on point. The bun is toasted to perfection. The veggies on the burger were fresh and crisp. Good crispy fries. Served very hot. I would come here again, but maybe try the double meat so that I can cover the bun. read more

This is by far the best burger place I've ever been. Ever! The Mushroom and Swiss is my favorite burger but all of heir burgers are outstanding! And I usually ask for my fries to be extra crispy! And you know what? They're PERFECT!! This is also the best place for a chocolate shake! I've been to burger joints since I could eat. This is the best one!!! They are super nice and will deliver it to your car!!! I love these guys!!! Oh! And there's no way you can beat the price!! read more

great service but food was edible at best. cheeseburger was made with cheap frozen thin patties. Catfish tasted off. tater tots and onion rings were good. Homemade carrot cake was okay. Single layer sheet cake with a thin smear of icing with no cream cheese flavor. read more

If you're into hole-in-a-wall burger joints, this might be your jam. If you want a damn good burger, look elsewhere. We ordered some burgers, fries, and nachos and everything was mediocre at best. I was expecting a dive-y burger, but not at this level. Don't believe the hype. Their COVID practices are questionable, cash is their preferred method of payment unless you want an up-charge for using a card, and inside the place seemed a little grungy. One of the only things they have going for them is that they make your order fresh, there's a wait, but at least it's fresh. read more

Great food, service and atmosphere!!! Had an amazing burger, shake and curly fries. Will definitely be coming back

It's a burger joint! I loved my strawberry shake! The gravy with chicken strips was pretty great! Plenty of seating and free refills! What more can you ask for lol read more

Lived in the area for 20+ yrs, but never tried Pride Burger. Figured out we weren't missing anything. Husband ordered a bacon double cheeseburger. In addition to having no flavor, the bacon was TURKEY BACON. Which might have been okay, if that was what he ordered. My onion rings were equally bland, and the fries tasted freezer burned. Food was over priced based on the quality. We won't be back. read more

nothing fancy but very delicious burger. Usually get it through drive thru. Simple menu, can't go wrong with it.

The burgers and fries are delicious. I ordered onion rings thinking I was going to get a decent amount but got a very small bag with only a few onion rings. I feel it's not worth it for 3.99. read more

The food is AMAZING! The gentleman at the front has such a upbeat attitude! The food comes out quick and fresh! It's also very affordable! My family will keep going there! Please give them and shot! read more

I got three chicken nuggets as my "Chicken Tender Basket"....really $10 for this???

Yes it's a dive. A very clean one with tasty food and reasonable prices. Extensive menu - more than just burgers. Try the Gyro, you won't be sorry! read more

I love a DIVE burger place! Yes, it is old and completely outdated. Although, it is very clean. This place is awesome. The burgers are freshly made to order. The lettuce was fresh and crisp. The bun was fresh and not stale. The patty was a little thin, but I ordered the quarter pound instead of the third pound. The fries were crispy and lightly salted. It was also a generous portion. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Driving by, it looks like a really old dive, so I've ignored it many many times. Finally one day I remembered to look the place up on Yelp when I saw that it had quite a good review. Decided to drive thru one evening and boy was I pleasantly surprised! You order right from the window, so you'll have a little bit of a wait for your food since they don't have a speaker to place your order in advance. That was okay, there weren't any cars in line when I went. The burger I ordered was quite delicious. The mushrooms were just okay, I'll try one of their many other side options next time. The other reviews are accurate...the prices on some things are just fine, but there are some items on the menu that seem very strangely priced. For example you can get a burger, fries, and a drink for $5...but the fried mushrooms side order (serves 1-2, about the size of a medium mcdonalds fry container) costs $4.50. So if you aren't paying attention when you order, you can easily end up spending up to $15 per person. Other than that, assuming you're not looking for atmosphere, Pride Burger is an excellent burger and a much tastier option than your typical fast food joint. read more

Love, Love this place. Been a customer for over 20 years. The folks that work here are friendly and The food is Great. Just hang out, have great comfort food. read more

This has been our go to for an old school Burger Chef (old school reference) type of hamburger. This place is a time machine from the late 70s and that's a good thing. You will give your order to either a nice taller man with glasses or, a no nonsense man with a grey ponytail. You are not here for the ambiance. You are here for the white painted over bricks, the rusty exterior sign, the parking lot that rivals any street in the 9th Ward. You are here for the taste of nostalgia. The fries are always dropped when you order and lava hot for 30 minutes!. The shakes here are a gamble. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they are like milky water. But man, get a double cheeseburger "all the way", and enjoy! You will drive by many fast food chains that are ugly square boxes filled typically with employees who hate their job and you. Go past those and drive into Pride Burger. read more

Simple menu...cost effective Delicious food...we bought a catfish dinner and chicken tender basket. Which comes with fries and Texas toast, prepared fresh to order. The staff is friendly and helpful if you have questions about their menu. However the food isn't seasoned AT ALL, so I recommend bringing your own condiments. Because all they gave us was salt, pepper and ketchup and tartar sauce. No seasoning salt or hot sauce. Definitely worth a stop if you're tired of the same fast food. read more

I ordered a chef salad. The portion was so little. A handful maybe of lettuce. Some cut up meat and that's it. For $8.99 it was a total ripoff. Side salads at restaurants are bigger and better. Will definitely not order again. Come on Pride burger you can do better! read more

I was on a budget so the only thing I got was a order of fries, just to be given fries that tasted like straight BLEACH. Would not come here again. read more

Disappointing is an understatement. Frozen beef patty, cold Swiss and canned mushrooms = super sad lunch

I am not in McKinney often, but stopped in and had a really good bacon cheese burger here. I asked for crispy fries and they did them right. The onion rings are really good too. If you wre ever on 380 driving through McKinney stop in for a really good meal or get it in the drive through. read more

We were never attended to. Waited and waited, and were never attended to. So the customer service is horrible. Not sure about how good the food is, as we waited so long, that we left and ate somewhere else. read more

I LOVE me some good diner food. I stop here every time I'm in McKinney. Great burgers, and fast!

I ventured out with my teen son to do a little volunteer work on a weeknight. On our way to the location, my son spotted Pride Burger. I had him look up reviews and while the place looked run down, we were surprised to see it had glowing reviews. On our way back home, we decided to give it a try. We pulled up and noticed we were the only customers. We were dirty from volunteering in a warehouse, so we asked for a restroom to wash our hands. The teen boy at the counter wasn't very personable. He handed me the key, and told me I had to walk outside and around to the back. It felt very gas-stationy as we made our way around the building in the dark. We reached the bathroom door and already decided we weren't going in by the looks of the outside. We walked to the car and "washed" our hands with antibacterial gel and napkins. We returned the key to the counter and ordered. The teen boy who took our order really struggled with basic customer service skills. He wasn't very helpful with suggestions and even stared at me with a blank face when I cracked a joke. My teen son winced in response and chastised me later for trying to interact. We ordered fried pickles, burgers, and curly fries. The fried pickles were really good. The burgers looked thin, however they had a great taste. My son said he could have eaten a second one. I was surprised at how good everything was. The atmosphere and flavor actually reminded me of an old burger joint I always visited as a kid in west Texas. I am fairly certain this is a family-run business. As we left, an older gentleman stepped out and thanked us for our business and told us to have a good night. He was much more personable than the teen cashier. I immediately felt bad for having started a two-star Yelp review in my head as I am a fan of mom and pop businesses and hole-in-the-wall places. I'm giving it three stars because the food here was pretty good. Beyond the teen cashier and the bathroom situation, our experience was good. If we're in the area again, we'll probably stop in for a to-go order. read more

We were on the hunt for a cheap dinner, Jessie reminded me of this place on 380. I've passed it a 1000 times yet never stopped. I was pleasantly surprised, I expected it to be more dive-y. It's a TINY diner. Order at the counter, sit down, they bring it to you. There is a LOT to choose from and it all looks good. My daughter's beef nachos were surprisingly great, very simple (chips, meat, cheese, jalepenos) but QUALITY beef. I was impressed. The burgers AND fries were really good. I love the ice in the drinks...sort of like snow. Good stuff for a good price. read more

The family and I have been eating here for 7 years. Burgers are always good. The fries are exceptional. Lots of variety! Fajitas were good, BLT is awesome. Family run by Dad, sons, uncles, and cousins from the old country. They always welcome you and have built a loyal customer base. Inexpensive and great choice for a budget read more

Decent little hamburger joint. Kind of expensive on some things, but really cheap on others. The shakes are pretty good, supposedly made with Blue Bell ice cream (always a home run in my book). Fries are average, burgers a little better than average. Other menu items like the chicken fried steak and similar things can be hit or miss. This place does a great chili-cheese dog and they do a typical fast food fried burrito that you will remember. The burrito comes out with a molten hot center and nice and crispy on the outside. Not exactly a great choice for date night, but a fantastic choice if you are looking for a junk food fix. The whole place has an odd vibe to it, but the people there are friendly enough and service is quick. We eat here every other month or so and the place is consistent. Good report on the health department inspection too, a perfect score with no demerits. https://www.mckinneytexas.org/index.aspx?nid=221 Clean as a whistle and decent food for a decent price what's not to like about a drive in burger joint that is 110% better than the chains ? Give it a shot, take a car load of kids and live a little, get a burrito... the kids love it about 2 hours later if you get my drift ;) read more

Ok I ordered a 1/2 lb burger meal and a shake which cost me almost $11. They added bacon when I didn't ask for it. The hamburger meat had no seasoning that in turn left me with a flavorless burger. Fries weren't salted and were undercooked. To top it off my chocolate shake wasn't chocolaty at all. I will say their sweet tea is great but not enough to make me want to go back. read more

Nothing to write home about. Came once Doubt I'll be back. Upon arriving 30 minutes early, I was told we can only order food for to-go. The young girl at the counter seemed as enthusiastic about her job as I was eating the food I received. :( Flat Soda, and old nasty gravy. Would not recommend. read more

I went today told the person who was taking my order I had 3 different orders took my first two and ignore me for the third one he came back and he said "I thought you said two" and when I said no he cussed me out in a different language read more

They close whenever they feel like it, regardless of what they have posted. At least have a closed sign, that way you don't pull into their difficult drive through, rather find somewhere else than have to waste time turning around. To lazy to buy a sign that says closed, but makes a little sense, if you don't like money, the kind you get from customers, they why invest in a sign to inform them of your operational status. read more

Strange little fast-food burger joint, but a solid hamburger you don't have to wait 30 minutes in the drive-thru to get (i'm looking at you In-n-out). One day I had a tasty no-frills hamburger, the other a gyro on unfortunately dried out pita bread. The onion rings were excellent though. read more
