Who expects a good burger at a fair? We went to the amazing Chinese Lantern Festival and there were a few food choices. The boys opted for burgers and dogs. They flipped (get it?!) for the burgers, and it was easy to see why! These burgers were juicy and tasty! They boasted my favorite salad dressing too - Thousand Island. IDK if these grounds are open year round or Square Burger was just here for the festival? I definitely will see if they are a chain and, if so, where is the closest one to our home!!! Yummmmmmmm!!!

Cute little spot in the park. They stay busy so they will most likely run out of things. I also find it kinda pricey but they can do that because of their location. Wait times can be long but I know they are doing the best they can with the space that they have. The employees are awesome!

By no means will this place knock your socks off with a gourmet burger, but it really fits nicely into the park. They serve a cheeseburgers and veggie burgers which actually aren't too bad to grab a quick bite. They make a mean hurricane soft serve ice cream. You can also get other standards with pretzels and nachos. Prices are reasonable as well. Worth a try if you are in the park.

Who knew that an unassuming burger cart in the middle of Franklin Square could be so delicious?! We stopped by Franklin Square to see the holiday village and juicy hamburgers atop brioche buns were exactly what we needed to warm us up! The fries were also salty fried goodness! The ingredients tasted fresh, not frozen and the price of $7 / burger was much less than i expected for a stand at a park (which can be so overpriced!)Who needs hot chocolate around Christmas when you can warm up with a burger?!

Walking through Philly with my friend and I noticed that we were passing "Franklin Square Park" so I told him to stop because I heard of this spot from yelp and I had to expierence it. As I approach the kiosk I see the staff cleaning up, looking like they were ready to go home. I look at my watch and notice that it's 5:56 and they close at 6. So instead of being "That Customer" I asked them when they would be re-opening, to which they told me, "It's not problem man go ahead and order something if you want it you still have time." Now THAT'S customer service! I was impressed because I know if I was in their shoes I probably wouldn't have been so nice. I noticed that their milkshake of the month was "Blueberry cobbler" so I ordered one. It was seriously the best milkshake I've had. Better than anything CookOut or Sonic produces in HR. I let my friend grab a taste and he agreed. I can't speak on their food, but If you're in Philly do yourself a favor and grab a milkshake from SquareBurger.

I like that there is a place like this in franklin square it's convenient. But today was my second time coming tand wanted to order a shake but both times they were either out of milk or not available for shakes.I get that it's easy to run out of things on nice weather days in a park setting but it wasn't even midday and when it's nice weather wouldn't you think they'd stock up a bit more? They are known for their shakes. Disappointed in that but decided to get a hot dog with chili and cheese on it. It was pretty good! But none the less would have been nice to have a cold shake in hand as well.Hopefully next time I catch them on a stocked day.

Cake shake, and the out door ambience. These are the two best things about Square Burger for those like me who want the bottom line up front.I dont like writing detailed reviews on popular places because we're all pretty much rehasing the same thing 100x over.The burgers get a 3 stars- decent but nothing to write home about, and a little small for the price. The Philly Dog is notch above that.Bottom line, its a nice and peaceful place to sit outside on a great day. All locals must try the Cake Shake at least once.

Just had a chocolate shake at the Chinese Lantern Fest. One taste and I thought "Stephen Starr isn't running this place anymore". Turns out I was right. Staff was fine and doing their best in an over whelming situation but it definitely was not worth the wait. Glad I didn't opt for a burger as well.

My boyfriend and I walk through Franklin Square all the time and decided to grab a bite. I ordered the veggie burger, and got the chicken quesadilla. The man who took our order was very friendly and kind, the burger hit the spot. We'll definitely be coming back!
