On the Scene: SquareBurger opens for the season
Franklin Square (Sixth and Race) opened for the 2010 season today, and our man Benjamin Franklin (as portrayed by master Benny impersonator Ralph Archbold) was the on scene, riding the Philadelphia Park Liberty Carousel, playing mini golf with kids and dishing out the first burgers and shakes at Stephen Starr's burger shack, SquareBurger.
In addition to the burgers and hot dogs, you can also enjoy a decent veggie burger, massive sundaes and shoestring French fries. (Try the Philly Dog, a kosher hot dog wrapped in kosher salami and served on a soft potato roll.) We're happy to see they've kept the Cake Shake, an (un)holy union of Tastykake Butterscotch Krimpets, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. New on the menu this yea: chicken fingers (four for $4.75) and a Shake of the Month, available starting May 1. All the items are still priced at $5 or less.
The food stand will be extending its hours this season, opening all through the summer and during select weeks until Dec. 31. Check out the full menu and hours after the jump.

Great photos! Do they have multiple dipping sauces for the chix fingers? Any good?
They offered barbecue sauce and honey mustard for dipping. We thought the chicken fingers were pretty good! Moist, salty and nicely breaded.
