Some guests mention the wait times during peak hours, particularly on Saturdays when the restaurant reaches full capacity, which can hinder the dining experience. Occasionally, diners comment on the simplicity of the drink menu, wishing for more craft cocktail options to complement their meals. While others appreciate the casual vibe, a few feel that the ambiance lacks a little pizzazz, desiring more in terms of decor and overall aesthetics.

Prominent real estate in downtown McKinney . We found ourselves here looking for a patio dinner on a nice night. A seat yourself place with no frills and a surprisingly great menu. Also a simple drink selection. Would return , as the menu as something for everyone

My father and I stopped by this Burger joint, and we were both pleasantly surprised. My father said it was the Best Burger he had in a very long time. I must concur, the burger I ordered really hit the spot. I will definitely stop by this place again, the next time I’m in the area, and I will be sure to bring my wife.

If you’re craving a seriously good burger, Square Burger in Downtown McKinney is a must-visit! The burger I had was absolutely incredible—juicy, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The patty was so big it was almost too much for one person (but I happily managed). All the extras on the plate were just as impressive, making the whole meal feel like a real treat. One standout? The fried pickle—crispy, tangy, and downright addictive! Everything came out fresh and well-prepared, and you can tell they really care about quality. Between the generous portions, great flavors, and the cool downtown vibe, this place is a winner. Highly recommend if you’re a burger lover!

Sooooo good! Very fancy type burger and it came with a fried pickle on the side (wasn't my favorite, but still cool). Great staff!

This is one of my favorite burgers in DFW. The location in the heart of Mckinney downtown historic area is amazing... the blue/mushroom burger with fried pickle is tasty 😋

Stellar service provided by Kelsey (or Chelsea?). Super friendly and helpful in guiding us on menu recommendations. Let’s start with the beer: old Rasputin on tap? Yes, please. Great beer selection all around. Food: the bruschetta is something special! Way to take a staple app to the next level. Salad was super fresh with crisp veggies with a perfect vinaigrette. Burgers were phenomenal and our son loved his pasta and meatballs. Chef has nailed the art of a spectacular burger. We will be back!
