Square Burger – McKinney, TX
On a recent visit to the land of burgers, I asked the fellow I was visiting with if there was a good burger close by. He thought for a minute and said, “there’s Square Burger downtown?” I was sold, so when lunch time rolled around we drove to the square in downtown McKinney. We found […]
Keller’s Hamburgers – Dallas, TX
Keller’s was the last stop on my DFW burger tour at the end of September. When I read about them in Hamburger America, I’ll have to say they were high on my list of prospects, just based on the restaurant itself. When I pulled up, my expectations were matched – this place was a true […]

Originally Jack’s Burger House, it has now turned into a Texas-based franchise. We chose the original location on Mockingbird, near the campus of SMU. It is a typical […]
