    Shake Fries. Onion Rings Double classic and the Pretty Fake Burger on a bed of lettuce!  Yum
    Joi L.

    This is a super good burger. Very simple menu that is done well! The burgers are smash burgers, that are seasoned to perfection. The fries and onion rings top it off. The establishment is very affordable and family friendly. The employees and always nice and super helpful. If you're in town please try Pretty Good Burger! Owners - I love the outdoor seating and we just need a few more tables and chairs!

    Special for that day

    Came here to grab a bite to eat with my son after leaving the movie theater down the street. Located in a great location. Not much seating but we were lucky to get there during a not so busy time. Burgers that we ordered came out really fresh and had a great taste. The fries with ranch were also very good. I would say the only negative I would have is that they didn't have more options on the menu. But overall are great tasting burgers.

    Perfectly located in Downtown Merced. The menu is simple and doesn't have too many options so it's easy to order off it. Casual atmosphere and open floor concept so you can see them making the burgers. Simple take on smash burgers. Got the pretty good burger and pretty classic burger. For mine, there was too much mustard, that's all I tasted and why I'm giving it 4 stars. For sides, we got fries and onion rings. Fries were seasoned well and crispy. Onion rings were good as well. Besides that, not that bad of a place to grab a smash burger if you're in the area.

    Cool looking hole in the wall. It was more in the smash burger family. I usually don't eat smash burgers so I was a little sad when I saw my burger. I'm a first timer so I didn't know what to expect. Food came fast. It was absolutely delicious! Very flavorful and the fries were seasoned and crispy! I would definitely eat here again passing by! Thank you friendly staff! Just wish you had milkshakes!

    The food is okay I feel like it has gotten much better since they first opened flavor wise anyway. Food is made fresh right in front of you! Service is great the cashier is very friendly and helpful when making decisions on what to try. The vibe is chill feels very relaxed like 90's ambiance to it. They also have great deals on Tuesdays! Follow them on instagram to keep up with the deals.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The burgers and fries here are pretty good. . Reminds me of H&W. If I had to choose again though I would probably go to H&W.

    Menu is pretty straight forward. Food is perfect! Wish they would add some color to the walls.. it's very unappealing imo.
