Square One
Went to Square One (new in Pinellas Plaza) for lunch yesterday. Delicious burger and fries, but kind of pricey. The cheapest burger with fries is $9.99, most are $12 to $15
|
I am thinking I can get a regular dinner for that
|
For that you can go down the block and eat all the delecious chineese food at evergreen.
|
Burgers are delicious indeed! More expensive antibiotic, hormone free meat....
I love Evergreen, too....;) |
Burgers are good - it's one of those "I really want to see what this place is about" type restaurants. Prices are too high for what you get - IMHO.
|
5 Guys & Glenview burgers are better and cheaper.
|
I wonder how long it will take before all this bashing leads to another restaurant closing?
|
We really like Square One burgers and have recommended Square One to numerous people who enjoyed their burgers. We feel it is worth a couple of extra dollars to eat quality meat.

I can't believe that bashng about prices at square 1 burgers but people want a high end resturant where you pay about 175.00 for a steak dinner for two. No way. We have been to square 1 and loved the burgers. Best ones around in my opinion. At least here you also get a choice of a side with the burger for the price. I hope it stays here.

I enjoyed my dinner there. I agree the prices are a little higher but like the other poster said you are getting grass fed meat and I for one am willing to pay extra. One think I don't know who their Interior Decorator is but I felt like I was in a Funeral Parlor lol. If you go to their site and sign up they will give you a $5 coupon.
|
If saying you either didn't like the food or the price was too high for your liking isn't just an honest opinion then I guess you can only post opinions that certain people want to hear. Its not bashing its just an opinion. If you accept good reviews you must also accept bad reviews. We ate at Square-1 and the food was fine but I must agree it is pricey in my opinion for what you get, a burger.

With all the discussion I had to try this place. An All American Burger with Onion Rings and an Iced Tea was $15.24 not including tip. Pricey yeah, but the burger was fantastic and the Onion Rings were the best I've had in years. I will save up some cash and next time take the Mrs. :)

Square One
We were there right after they opened and we found them to have a VERY GOOD hamburger of good quality. I guess it comes down to if you want GOOD QUALITY you have to pay for it. If you really are concerned with saving money you should go to Winn Dixie and buy hamburger and make it at home. One should take into consideration that there is much overhead to run a business like this. The service was very good. Give them a chance to make it and don't bad mouth them, is my feeling.
To me, it's sad that many are so critical of someone working to trying to make it in business. |

As far as "quality meat" goes, 5 Guys beef is never frozen and as a matter of fact, either is Wendy's. I would have to live my life eating only hormone free, antibiotic free, etc, for that to matter as a selling point for going there. |

If I were a restaurant owner, I would prefer the non-seasonal crowd over the throng of vacation-minded starving snowbirds. But then again, I am way too lazy to fight the fight in the restaurant biz. |
True - but what % of those 60-70 thousand folks are willing to pay $12+ for a burger?
Just a thought. I hope they are wildly successful - just don't see it. |
A group of golfers recently went to Square One and one of the chairs collapsed sending the golfer to the floor! The management took his name and info, still charged him for his meal and never contacted him afterwards to see if he was ok. He proceeded to write corporate an e- mail- they responded by sending him a lousy $ 40 gift certificate! His meal that day cost $24. I will not frequent such a poorly run restaurant!
|
Our burgers were good, our booth didn't collapse, our waitress was efficient & friendly. However, I think the prices will keep many people from returning. My husband thought the burgers at Sonic were just as good, although we don't care for the onion rings at either place (they're both breaded).
We wanted to try it out once. It was fine; just a little pricey for a burger. |
I had a cup of Beer Cheese Soup and it was good but it cost 6.00. The decor is the tackiest I have ever seen. At Least Buca d Beppo is funny. Not on my go to list.

Tis amusing how everyone begs for a new, hopefully upscale, restaurant and then gripes about a $10 burger! Have you been to the grocery store lately? These places have loads of overhead and you aren't going to get good, quality food, burger or otherwise, without paying at least $10 per person. You can't have it both ways! Maybe we'll get lucky and get a Captain Ds, cheap enough but I sure would not label it quality seafood! |

The tacky decor is expensive, service good, food ingredients are quality. All of this equals higher prices. Is it worth it? Not to me but hopefully a good Boomer Sooner neighbor makes a go of it in TV. He is no dummy. Btw, do you know the reason for the name? It is very interesting? When the owner graduated from the University of Oklahoma he opened a hamburger restaurant across the street from the university. He then went on to open many successful restaurants. He became very successful in other business as well. Now in his 80s, he wanted to open a new business so decide to go back to square 1", doing what he did in the beginning. |

If they don't like the decor, guess they would not enjoy the Stockyards Hotel in Ft Worth! We love it! |
