So GOOD! The burgers are awesome. I really thought the menu was awesome and had a tough time deciding. I got the burger with prosciutto on it, and it was incredible. Great fries, both sweet and regular potato. Nice atmosphere and our server was very sweet read more

These are not just burgers...these are burgers done in a way that makes them gourmet! I'm impressed with the use of culinary techniques using ingredients that you wouldn't expect on a burger. The atmosphere is awesome and decor was well thought out! The staff is also amazing! read more

The burgers were amazing!!! Our server was questionable, he may have been having an off day, but that prevented a 5 star review. I had the lamb burger and it was so juicy and cooked to perfection. My boyfriend had the spicy tuna burger which was also delicious. I highly recommend the mac and cheese with chicken and sundried tomatoes. The beer selection was on point. Wish I lived in McKinney so I could come here more. Will definitely be back on my next visit. read more

Square Burger - Lamb burger - Burgers Near Me - McKinney, Texas

The Parmigiana Burger was amazing and I would eat it every day if I could but the service was kinda shitty. My husband asked for a taster of a tap beer and was told it was too expensive to give out tasters. If that's the case, do like most craft brew houses and offer a taster size for a couple bucks. He ended up buying the expensive beer and it was less than $1 more than the regular beers. We had to ask for salt and pepper since nothing is provided on the table... the salt came out in a tiny square dish that we had to pinch it out of which was dumb and the pepper grinder/shaker thing looked like an e-cig and should have come with instructions. Unless they dump out the tiny salt dish, wash, the re-fill.. I can only imagine the number of fingers that were in that salt dish. We had to ask for ketchup, mustard, and mayo after our food came out and were presented with three tiny square dishes of each condiment. Luckily we did not require much of either of them but I think service overall could have been better if the tables were stocked with salt and pepper and other burger essentials.. given that it's a burger joint. The kids mac and cheese was amazing and I dig the tiny cups they give kids drinks in. **Speaking of kids.. kids menu, high chairs and boosters but NO changing table in the bathroom!! That is reason enough for us to not come back. I walked in the bathroom to another Mom with a tiny baby getting ready to spread her blanket ON THE FLOOR to change her diaper!!** Way too expensive for a burger joint, $17 for 1 burger and an order of fries. read more

I stopped by on a wonderfully cool and sunny day. I really wanted to sit on a patio, but the nearby places were full The atmosphere is a little bit noisy, but the burger was great. Very lean, with a soft ciabatta bun, arugula and carmelized onions The pumpkin bisque soup was to die for. Go. This fall. Get the soup! read more

We like the food here for the most part, although sometimes it does seem a little pricey for a burger place. We have had some long waits, BUT, that is relative in downtown McKinney on a weekend night. We still get in much faster than we can at a lot of the other restaurants. We have brought out of town guests a few times and they LOVE the salmon burger. I like the flavor of the turkey burger (I just substitute that patty to whatever "burger" sounds good that day. I've never been disappointed. The onion strings and sweet potato fries are yummy, greasy, addicting and a perfect indulgence that you love in the moment and regret the next morning. :) Good beer selections. The best server we have had there was Jenna - loved her! read more

I was really excited to try this place, but I left disappointed. We had terrible service - our drink orders came out wrong every time & even after we got them fixed, we were still charged for the drinks we didn't order. Some of the employees had terrible attitudes. Not to mention, they are NOT distancing out tables as they claim to be doing due to COVID. Every indoor table was full before they seated people outside, and there was no special cleaning aside from the typical "wiping" down the tables and removing plates. The food is nothing special, so for the price you'd be paying to eat here with bad service, I'd recommend any other restaurant on the square. read more

This is a wonderful place. The staff and atmosphere are top notch and the burgers we mouthwatering delicious. I wish we would have had the time to try the extremely long list of beer and wine. Two thumbs up for this place. read more

Little touches like the julienned apple and the sliver of smoked salmon on the nicely-spiced salmon patty are really good in the Salmon Salad. First time here. We'll be back. read more

Square Burger - Salmon Salad - Burgers Near Me - McKinney, Texas

This spot is nothing but a winning lottery ticket. You continue to cash forever. I found this place a few years back and can say no other burger joint compares hands down. The chef here takes her craft seriously and is very inventive. It is nestled in McKinney's downtown square and is very modern. When you walk in you immediately notice the wall of craft beers in front of you and the endless wine menu up on the wall. Most everything on the menu is local produce and beef and you can tell from the first to the last bite. Appetizers are great but onion rings here are a true delicacy. Sweet yellow onions dip into a secret batter and fried to perfection. This tower sure takes two to eat. It is severed with a spicy mayo that compliments the real sweetness from the rings themselves. Wait I am not done. Burgers are upscale and have a pleasant little twister inspired by the chefs palette. My go to staple is her version of the western burger. All local beef cooked to your order (medium). Topped with fresh veggies and one of those perfectly cooked onion rings, and aged cheddar (you can tell it has a bite). She then finishes this off with a homemade barbecue that compliments every bite perfectly. Finally for dessert. The only dish you need to worry about are the donuts (if you can get them). This dish sells out quick. We call them donuts but they are really beignets. Covered in a delightful sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar and served with a tasty house made chocolate ganache that has the chefs twist on it. The ganache has a hint of orange in it making it refreshing and delectable all in the same bite. This is one of my top spots and would recommend not leaving McKinney without dropping in. You would regret it if you did. read more

We always enjoy square burger. Delicious every time. My favorite is the lamb burger. The sweet potato fries are amazing, as are the onion rings. The kids enjoy the lobster Mac and cheese, and at times I'll split a burger and a Mac and cheese with one of my daughters, bec she can't ever decide which she loves more. Great selection of beer. read more

Service is friendly, but not good. Not good at all. Since some of the waitstaff are teenagers, they can't tell you anything about the beers. It doesn't matter much to me, because I already know about most of the offerings. Burgers are excellent if they are cooked properly. Mine was overcooked last night. My wife's was perfect. I really want to patronize this place because the beef is local and grass-fed. I don't mind paying extra. If you don't like the burgers here (if they are properly cooked), then perhaps your taste buds have become accustomed to cheap beef. All this being said, Twisted Root is still my fave. read more

Had a number of friends suggest this place to us and we finally went. I expected alot, but was a little disapointed. The Atmosphere is great and the beer selection is awesome! Service is friendly and do their job, but most are teenagers and you will get the service of a teenager. We both got hamburgers and they were good, but not great. Maybe it was because I had high expectations. Maybe it was because my wife and I dont go out to eat that much without the kids. Maybe it was the 2 ladies with infants in wooden high chairs (not on casters) that were constantly pushing them back and forth to entertain them (they must have liked the fingernail on the chalkboard like screeching sound it made), but it will be a while before we go back. Maybe we will go later to miss the daycare. read more

This is the best burger I have ever had and the food is organic. I did not give 5 stars only because of the dining area, extremely small and extremely crowded. Very much in need of space!! Excellent Burgers!! read more

I had the Smokey Burger and it was great. The meat was juicy and flavorful and lightly seasoned. The flavor of the meat definitely stood on its own. They serve the meat at "medium" temp unless otherwise ordered. I found it to be more on the medium rare side. While I would have enjoyed a steak served at this temp I prefer my burgers a little more cooked than my steaks. Next time I will order it medium well. read more

Great location on the Courthouse Square in McKinney. Good food and always worth another visit. Lots of fun sitting at the bar with all the beers on tap coming out of the wall. Look at the photos read more

Good food. Good drinks. Great to people watch outside. It's a struggle on Friday and Saturday's for a wait, but you can show up and get on the list w a box to be notified. Good for families and groups and couples at the bar. They actually have double seats at the bar which is fun for a date night out. Prices are decent. read more

I eat on the McKinney square as much as possible to support my hood. Square burger is in an old shop that still has it's original big windows. Great view of the square wherever you sit. Service is ok, we always have some young kid just starting out as a waiter trying his/her best. I am fine with that. The burgers are ok, the sweet potato fries are great. Full bar with a ton of beers. read more

This is truly the best burger place in Texas! Always so full of flavor and great portions!

Came from waiting 25 minutes at Rick's with nobody coming to table so went to Square Burger and we were instantly seated in a window booth. Our server, Felix, was delightful and recommended the pea soup. She helped me order a nice IPA and the soup was awesome. I had the buffalo burger and it was perfect. Glad we ended up there. read more

Came in with the family for some burgers. I had the lamb, wife had the salmon and daughter had the turkey. We also had onion rings and I had an Abita saison. We were impressed with the great food, and will be back. The service was not great though, and pricing was a bit high for the area considering it is ala carte. read more

The lamb burger is my go-to meal here. It goes great with the wheat beers on tap. The service is slow and the greeter is not very helpful, but the atmosphere and view is what you will enjoy more than anything. read more

I just moved into town not too far from this unique place, if you're up for a better quality burger a good craft brew along with southern hospitality visit this spot! read more

Square burger refers not to the shape of the burger, as they are most definitely round, but to the location on McKinney Square. True we are way up in the burbs here and this was not my usual Friday night debauchery but I had yet to try a burger....and I mean ever!!! I started eating red meat a while ago and had yet to venture into burger land. I sure as hell wasn't going to pop my burger cherry at McDonalds, so hearing Square Burgerhad seven varieties made from grass-fed, hormone-free meat made from McKinney's Genesis Beef. I headed North in search of Burgertopia For the record, they also have lamb, turkey and salmon but this time I was out for MEAT Downtown Mckinney is cute and the glass walled windows at Square burger are inviting (though there is no real sign on the outside just a small etched burger insignia on the door). The neon lit bar is inviting and with 30 beers on tap as well as all the usual alcohol libations this place is worth the drive The waitresses (and waiters) are gorgeous and friendly, and the interiorlooks more like a nightclub but its certainly family oriented with parents, kids, oldies and teens all gathered at tables and booths As this was my first burger, I steered away from the more creative variations and went for the stadium burger which had onions and a great spicy mustard aioli When you have never eaten a burger before, its hard to write a review and compare but...Man oh man was it good. Tender and well cooked with rich meaty flavours. The fried pickle was a nice touch too read more

Good burger. Grass fed, local beef. Cooked just right. I had the mushroom burger with a side of the caramelized onion marmalade, and that marmalade was darn tasty. Next time I'll try the bleu burger or the lamb burger. The burgers are swankier than most, with toppings/options like the ahi tuna burger or the "high society" with prosciutto. They seemed proud of their beers (not a beer drinker). The fries were nothing spectacular - I liked the onion strings though. This place is not really a super casual burger joint like you might think...it has a bit more razzle dazzle going on. Give it a whirl. read more

Make a trip to McKinney and be a SQUARE! Well, at least try their food, it is good! I have been several times to Square Burger and will continue to go back for their great food and expansive beer list. Make sure you check the chalk board for their current beer list and specials. Nestled on the corner of the old downtown "square," this burger joint has massive windows on two sides that brighten the restaurant and make it a great place to eat. The ceiling is almost as high as the Dallas skyline, you will not feel cramped as you dine in this great eatery. If you can, grab a booth next to a window and people watch at lunch while you munch on your meal. The last time I went, I had their Ahi Tuna Burger with a spicy aoli and it was out of this world. A different take on a burger, but I enjoyed it! Their fries are shoestring and just crispy and salty enough. A+! The fried pickle spear that accompanies your entree never seems to last long on my plate. Crispy, crunchy, and delicious. One of the best fried pickle spears I've had. The breading is what sets it apart. Their beef burgers are phenomenal too! They're juicy and will not disappoint. Whatever you decide on for your main course, DO NOT pass up dessert. The proverbial cherry on top to Square Burger is their dessert fritters. Get them, eat them, and be happy. read more

The beer selection is ridiculously dope (coming from a Michigander) and the desserts are literally insane. The onion rings are super delicious too. All of the food items we tried were outstanding and not your typical greasy-friend disgusting burger joint food. Whoever does their beer orderings deserves a raise because the list is outstanding, craft beers from all over that are hard to find on a regular basis. read more

During our "downtown walk"... The kids were hungry so wanted to get something simple and fast. Lollipop lamb chops for me. Great tasting dish but it is a bit light. Spicy Tuna burger for the wife... The bread was a bit "chewy" (thinking frozen). Kids had the kids burger and spaghetti... Spaghetti was a bit salty and the sauce tasted more store bought than homemade. The burger was a bit big but it was so good that the kiddo finished the whole thing. Overall, good place to get food and will return. read more

I had been here a few times and I love it. Everything from their burgers to their service is great. My kids also love the spaghetti and their fries are awesome. I really enjoy their costumer service and the large selection of beers. I can always trust my server to pair my meal to a great beer in season. read more

Great burgers. These are not the standard burgers, they offer things like lamb burger, Smoked Salmon Burger, Bleu, Feta, High society burger and more! They also have a whole wall of beer on tap. The only problem is that the place is often full, so seating takes time. Note, you just get the burger, sides are extra. read more

We really enjoyed this place. Cute and quaint atmosphere and the burgers were delicious. I love the fried pickle spear that came with it. The sweet potato fries alone are worth the trip from Plano. The service was average but the food made up for that. Will return. read more

Wow! The lamb burger was great. It had a nice taste to it and came with a Ziziki sauce which complemented it and the condimemts. The fries and onion rings used a batter that made it nice and crunchy. It did not turn soggy at all. We didn't have dessert but will try it next time. read more

Lobster Mac and Cheese is the best! I saw on the menu that it had peas in it and thought I wouldn't mind that. I didn't love the peas, but asked the server before we left how it was prepared and she said that we can get it without peas next time. I will definitely have this again. My daughter loved her grilled cheese and tomato soup. The fries and onion strings were amazing and the garlic aioli was better than ranch! read more
