My husband and I went for the first time tonight. Yes, for a hamburger, they are a little pricey but the burgers, while not large, were excellent. In lieu of regular fries, we paid an extra $1 for sweet potato fries and an extra $2 for onion rings. All good!

Now, here's the big surprise . . . drinks were half price -- both well and call brands. My husband wanted a Chivas on the rocks and I wanted a Maker's Mark on the rocks. Easy, wouldn't you think? You can only get a mixed drink for half price, meaning that you would have to use a mixer of some sort. Can you imagine killing good booze with coca cola or whatever??? We told our server to forget it and had a Pepsi.

When we go back, I'm going to ask a manager about this dumb rule.

With it all, we still put it on our recommended list. Quite a bit of money was spent on the decor and the restaurant occupies 4 store fronts. We sat outside tonight and it was a lovely evening outside.

You should have come and said hi !!

Square 1 Burgers & Bar

We loved it too! Try the bignets with two dipping sauces for dessert. One order will easily feed two or three even though they are really yummy! Welcome to The Villages, Square One. You're a welcome addition to the dining scene. And thanks for having vegetarian options too.

Happy Hour starts again 9pm to closing

stopped in today for lunch. totally ignored by the hostess and a server who did not acknowledge us until they were finished with their conversation. signed in and got one of those vibrating electric gizmos, even tho there were no other people waiting. we wanted to sit outdoors and were told there were no table available (there were 2 empty outside at the time) so we went out to sit on a bench; in 5 minutes she came out and told us we could be seated, and took us inside to a back corner....we had asked for outdoors and then were escorted through the restaurant by another host and were seated. he was quite knowledgeable about the specials, and you could tell he was well trained. we ordered, the food came quicky. i had a philly burger and my wife had a crabcake burger. both were good, not outstanding, but good. they were not huge, just the right size, but overpriced for their size. the fries were good, but not great. 2 sandwiches, 2 sides, no drinks, 27.00 plus a 5.00 tip. an expensive lunch. 5 guys is a much better value, much better food, and their fries are outstanding. will not go back again to square1burgers

by the way, what are bignets?

Bignet's are the pastry that you see in New Orleans, pronounced Bin Ya

No way will I wait for a burger. Doesn't anyone here ever cook?

then they are not bignet; they are beignet. no wonder i could not recognize the word. and they are pronounced ben-yay.

You are absolutely correct.
Thanks for making it right (before I did)!

You are right. Sorry. I'm sitting on the patio right now & looked it up.

Going tomorrow around 3:30 to 4 for late lunch.
Looking forward to trying it.
