Square Burger

On November 12, 2008 I moved to McKinney, Texas, and at that time there was a closed building on the southwest corner of Kentucky and W. Virginia that had a sign promising that a restaurant called Square Burger was going to be opening.

On June 14, 2010 it became true. Here's Katy standing in front of the 33 beers on tap. Not only is she pretty, but the wall itself is a work of art. There's Moose Drool, Blue Moon, Lawnmower, and 30 others. Here you can have a flight -- three beer samples for $6.00. I highly recommend it. If you're not sure what you want, pick three names that sound good or let the bartenders pick them.

Here's to Brandon Horrocks, one of the owners. (He's the one standing behind my friend, Tom Michero.) Here's to someone who kept at it and made it happen, someone who brought people into his life who could fulfill this dream.

The building on the southwest corner of Kentucky and W. Virginia is open now. It has been for three days, and I've been privileged enough to be able to walk through those doors, to sit in the love stool, and belly up to the bar.

So, thank you, Brandon, for what you've done. It's brought a new place to the square that we can meet our friends, make new ones, and enjoy great burgers and 33 different beers on tap! And I haven't even mentioned their wines, appetizers, and desserts, or that the chef/co-owner came from Wolfgang Puck's Spago.

What are you waiting for? They're open Monday through Thursday 11-11, Friday and Saturday, 11-12, and Sunday 11-4. Get over there and keep them busy. The food's fabulous. The company's extraordinary, and you may just see me sitting on my love stool.
