Pretty Good Burger

If you're looking for an amazing burger in Merced, Pretty Good Burger is the place to be! I recently stopped by with my buddy Joey, and we were beyond impressed with the food and the overall experience.I ordered a double-patty burger, and let me tell you--it was nothing short of delicious. The beef was perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. Every bite was a reminder of what a great burger should taste like. The fries? Absolutely outstanding! They were crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned just right.Beyond the food, the customer service was top-notch. The cashier who took my order was incredibly kind and welcoming, making me feel like a valued customer from the start. The cook clearly takes pride in their craft, and the person who handed me my order made sure it was fresh and hot--just how it should be.As Joey and I enjoyed our meal, we couldn't help but take in the artwork on the walls. The visuals really added a unique touch to the atmosphere, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. That said, while the food and service were exceptional, I do think the cleanliness and organization of the establishment could be improved a bit. A little more tidiness would make this spot even better.Overall, Pretty Good Burger consistently delivers outstanding food, and I will definitely be coming back for another round of that mouthwatering burger and fries. If you're in Merced and craving a great meal, this is a spot you won't want to miss!

The name largely says it, this place is "Pretty Good," although I'd say a little better than that, and we enjoyed the reference to the film. We ate here on our recent visit to Merced and had smash burgers, onions rings, and fries. They were all very good, but not really outstanding. 4 stars for all.The place is reasonably nice inside, a little bare but not entirely. Service was good.It has a nice location downtown.We would gladly go back as it was a very good burger meal at a good price.

Pretty good burger is a Merced staple. This is a place I come with my friends for a quick bite that is always delicious and budget friendly. The food is fresh and the flavor is consistent. It's a very relaxed and casual atmosphere in downtown Merced so it's perfect for grabbing a bite before a show or after a night out.

I have heard lots of good things about this place. I finally got to go check it out. I'm gonna say it's a smooth middle ground between 5 guys & In N Out price wise. Flavor wise, it's better than both plus sides. The service was good. It took a minute, but it was a Friday night & it was poppin. We thought we'd have to take it to go because they were out of tables inside, but just in time, one opened up. My only complaint would be that because it was so busy, we kinda had to bus/clean our own table. The sauces were awesome. The menu is simple, creative, & funny. We will be back again.

Burgers were good, first time in. Staff not friendly, no conversation even though we obviously had not been in before. It was mid-afternoon and only a few other customers, place was dirty. We had to clean our own table, both trash cans had food scattered about and every empty table was dirty. The door was clean because that is the only thing the girl sprayed and wiped. Although burger and fries were good I think we will dine elsewhere next time. Bummer because Merced needs good places downtown.

Good burger and at a good price. Ordered the Pretty Good Burger and the classic burger. Both were tasty. Even though I'm a big in n out fan I'll be back here again.

Pretty Good Burger is pretty damn good. These burgers are seasoned, smashed, and seared to perfection. I went with the "pretty good" burger - smashed, topped with American cheese, pickles, onions, and mustard. You can't go wrong with simplicity! I love mustard but this really over powered the taste of the burger. If mustard ain't your thing, I'd probably skip out on that and dip it in their not so special sauce instead. The crinkle fries are seasoned and crisped up so well. They also come in a huge portion. I wish I tried the onion ringz!! The quality is there and you cannot beat these prices. Single burgers run for $6 and doubles are $8. I'd say the fries are shareable between 2 people and are only $3. Sauces (house ranch, not so special, and spicy ketchup) are $1 each. Not bad at all. PGB is located in the charming downtown Merced next to Little Oven and The Den Hookah Lounge. Parking is hit or miss, usually isn't an issue. Parking lot behind the theatre is always a good bet. 100% add Pretty Good Burgers to your 209 foodie list.

Lived up to the name pretty good burgers. Nice staff. Fries are very cheap and seasoned well

This place sells the best burger in Merced hands down. First of all the burgers are awesome. They are well seasoned and made to exactly what you want. The fries and onion rings are very good and I highly recommend the spicy ketchup as a nice condiment for dipping. The staff is very accommodating and always makes the dining experience very nice. I love the simplicity of the menu as I believe this allows for the perfection in cooking of the burgers. I've tried all of the burger restaurants in Merced and in my opinion this place is the best without exception. I'm a big fan of delicious burgers and this restaurant checks all the boxes for me. If you haven't tried it I would highly recommend it. The only thing I would suggest to the owners is to open a restaurant in Atwater so I don't have to drive to Merced. Beyond that I think they are knocking it out of the park and I highly recommend this restaurant.

Burger and fries were OK, wasn't offended but nothing stood out enough to make me come back
