We took a drive to old downtown McKinney on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. The square was hopping with activity! Many shops and restaurants to pick from. We chose Square Burger. WOW! This upscale addition to the growing boutique burger scene is better than any in Dallas or Fort Worth. My wife had the Stadium Burger while I tried the Mushroom Bacon Burger. Both were outstanding. Don’t miss ordering the mac and cheese appetizer. Many restaurants offer designer versions of this American staple but none do it better than Square Burger. The twirled noodles were studded with smoked chicken and sundried tomatoes. I could have made a meal on this appetizer alone. For dessert we ordered the trio of mini homemade cookie/ice cream sandwiches. There was the standard chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream, a snickerdoodle with strawberry ice cream, and finally our favorite, a carrot cake cookie with cream cheese ice cream. The dining room was clean and pristine. The bar staff ( we sat at the bar) was attentive and made our dining experience pleasant. The bar featured a wall length selection of beers on draft that they were sampling. We will be back very soon. Too bad that there was no outdoor patio to sit on as there was for many of their competitors
