Went to Square One Burgers today at 1pm for lunch. Place was packed! Happy we decided to see for ourselves what the restaurant was all about. Burgers were done exactly the way we wanted them, and not the way the restaurant thought they should be cooked. YES! Won't argue that they are a bit pricey but my husband and I agreed that the price was worth it, and will definitely go again. To all the naysayers who posted on a previous thread about Suqare One - if it's too expensive for you, don't go. Anyone interested can go online and check the menu and prices. First timers can sign up and get a $5.00 coupon. As I stated above, we will definitely go back.

That's nice to know about the coupon. We did sign up for their loyalty club as well, even though we probably won't go there as much as we would other places. It just helps you be aware of special offerings.

What was the prices of their burgers for dogs? Was it just as over-priced as the burgers for humans?

Glad to hear about the coupon. Where do you sign up for the Loyalty Club?

Burgers for dogs cost more..............there is more meat, less filler.

The Square 1 menu looks delicious with a nice variety!

Nice to see a new restaurant that is not TooJays, Cody's and the others already at the town squares.

This will be a good alternative to Five Guys, which at Brownwood looks unappetizing because of the bright lights and messy floors and strewn-around chairs (have seen poor housekeeping there every time we tried it). Atmosphere leaves much to be desired.

I am waiting for a review on the Portobello Please.

They hold me over between Morel seasons.

My wife and I went for lunch the other day. I ordered the chicken with pineapple and other sauces. It was delicious. My wife ordered a plain hamburger without a bun. There was grease all over the plate. To me that gives the burger flavor but she didn't like all the grease. Don't know whether I can get her to go back there. If she had ordered a burger with a bun she might not have noticed all the grease.

Grease is the best part.

My wife and I ate there Sunday afternoon and found the previous postings to be right in line with our experience. The restaurant and the restrooms were clean and we enjoyed the ambiance, although the red velvet seating section did remind us a little of a brothel from the old westerns on television . Our server's name was Jenny and she was excellent-we would not hesitate to request her as our server and do recommend her. She asked if this was our first time (it was) and she "filled us in" including information about the loyalty club with the $5.00 coupon and that the club does something for our birthday (no details there but we didn't ask either). She brought up the price and acknowledged that the cost was higher, and attributed it to the fresh ingredients without apology. I was glad to hear the server being upfront about the cost and not be apologetic about it. We started with the fried mac n' cheese with their SQ1 Sooner dipping sauce. The appetizer was very good and worth the price. The dipping sauce was not as spicy as I thought it might be (my wife doesn't like to eat food that has "heat", yet she enjoyed the dipping sauce-so it could not have been too hot). Our burgers (I had the South of the Border and she had the Turkey Cobb) were prepared as ordered and were quite juicy versus greasy. There was good spacing between the appetizer and the burgers, so we were able to enjoy the background music while being able to chat and "knosh" on the appetizer. OK, as to the cost-for our burgers, appetizer and sweet teas without tip came to about $37.00. Putting this into perspective, we have had similarly priced burgers at two other chain restaurants: Ruby Tuesday's and Famous Dave's BBQ. The prime Angus burgers at RT's were greasy and not as fresh tasting as Square One, whereas the brisket burgers at Famous Dave's were in our opinion the best of the three. Note that Square One allows you to "upgrade" your beef to Kobe beef or buffalo for an extra $5 if you so choose. I would not recommend this unless you had a discerning palette so that you could enjoy the difference. Summing up, if price is your primary consideration, there may be other more appealing options. If freshly prepared products are your preference, then having good service, a clean restaurant and nice atmosphere may have you going back.

I reviewed their menu carefully and have concluded that their prices will play havoc with the concept of elastic demand or as the folks in my hometown would say "Lordy, those prices will send you broke" "Can't eat there but once in a blue moon"

Good, honest review, Trayderjoe.

The only thing that I might add is that their idea of medium rare is my idea of rare. My lamb burger was too rare in the middle. Be careful when you order. I will ask for medium or well done in the future.

I went there solo and they did not seem to like that I did not want to sit at the bar and requested a table instead. It wasn't busy so I don't get the problem. I had to ask twice not to be seated at the bar. Food - Fantastic.

Any comments about the menu for dogs there? I understand it is fabulous. How do they cook For both dogs and humans in the same kitchen? Perhaps it is not a problem?

It's all the same food. Human food for all.
