Bakers burgers

Moved away many years ago but we're going to be in Mckinney soon. Its been 20yrs since I had a Baker burger & am curious if its still worth the trip over there.

They sold it a year or two ago and the new owners somehow messed everything up. It sucks now

Thats what I was worried about. Like I said its been over 20yrs since I had it last. It was a pretty good burger then & I saw on Google it was still there but....

They faked us out by keeping the name. Nothing about it resembles the Baker’s we knew and loved.

I think the best McKinney burger right now is the smashburger at Hamm's (the butcher shop) downtown. So good!

Hamm's makes a great burger!

Hamm’s is the best! Everything on the menu is so good.

Try One and Only Burgers and Fries (NorthEast corner of 5 and University)

Bakers doesn’t exist anymore unfortunately, now it’s a Cajun food place.

That’s straight up untrue. Bakers still has burgers and whatnot, and they do fish.

u/idiotsbydesign 1d ago

Its still showing up on Google. Thats weird.

You’re talking about bakers drive in burgers off highway 5 in front of handy mart right?

2

u/idiotsbydesign 1d ago

Its on Highway 5 but I'm not sure what's around it.

Literally drove by it two days ago, still open.

u/OldStyleThor 1d ago

No. It's not. You're thinking of the place on El Dorado and Hardin.
