Simple, but varied menu means that you have tons of choices here without getting overwhelmed. This is one of my go-to spots when I am in town, as it's near my hotel, and has good food and atmosphere.Upvote6Downvote
The best place ever if you want hamburger ! I personally love it on the top of my own salad and never gain weight ! Coz It is no bun here for me😝👸🏻😉 I don't like one thing: wait in line 😡

Anthony YouhasMarch 24, 2015Myriad topping choices! Everything under the sun, for absolutely any given palate! (Thai peanut sauce? Cranberries?!?) A little spendy, but parking was a breeze & service was stellar. Worth the visit!Upvote4Downvote
Kyle FowlerAugust 12, 2013This is the best of The Counter locations; tons of space, shaded outdoor seating and ample parking. The food is excellent as you'd expect too.Upvote7Downvote- I had my amazing burger “ to Die for “again ! OMG always the best 🐷🤗🙄 and I got it, you you need to come before 6:30 to avoid “traffic” inside of the counter😝👍UpvoteDownvote
They just started to offer beer flights... 4 for 8 bucks. Get a wheat, ale, IPA and stout... great way to sample amazing beers followed by some kick ass burgers.Upvote6Downvote
Young, energetic and wonderful staff. Juicy chicken, burgers cooked just so, and crispy shoestrings. Add in cocktails your way, and it is a recipe for a great casual meal!Upvote2Downvote- Tyler FoxAugust 4, 2013Great quality burgers. Go healthy with a turkey burger, fresh avocado, organic mixed greens, tomato slices, red onion, habañero salsa on wheat bun! (Add horseradish cheddar for an extra kick!)Upvote4Downvote
Sandy MeersAugust 19, 2015The apple pie moonshine milkshake can't be beat! One of the best shakes I've ever had.

Derrick YuNovember 20, 2015The burgers are a little on the pricy side, but the amount of options and customization that you get is quite awesome.UpvoteDownvote
Jordan BlackMarch 29, 2015Ask for the sampler. It's not on the menu but comes with onion strings, sweet potato, regular fries and deep fried pickers. Yum!UpvoteDownvote
Great burgers, and onion rings. Always prompt service.Upvote2Downvote- Renee BudakMarch 22, 2017The HD Chicken burger is delicious. They also have a good selection of beers to go with it.UpvoteDownvote
Kat 🐱September 6, 2019Food tasted okay but they missed a few things from my order form. Ordered grilled pineapple, but it came fresh rather than grilled. Ordered jalapenos but it wasn't included in my salad.

Turkey burger medium rare with pineapple grilled and a side dish of half sweet potato fries and french fries.UpvoteDownvote- Jayson PhillipsSeptember 13, 2014Spiked milkshakes are awesome and I love a good burger.Upvote1Downvote
Yoram CisinskiJanuary 23, 2018Sweet potatoes fries are great and the counter burger is nice. Service a bit slow thoughUpvoteDownvote
Caroline DengJune 14, 2015Don't come here if you're trying to be healthy. But they do have a delicious turkey burger. Do their build a burger menu.

Al SmithDecember 5, 2015Chicken Burger was delicious. Add sweet potato fries and it's a home run.UpvoteDownvote

Remco ScheepmakerJune 30, 2016Build your own burger from a massive list of ingredients, toppings and sauces.UpvoteDownvote
Try the grilled veggies if you're looking for something less filling but still tasty.UpvoteDownvote
Jennifer PierceyJuly 6, 2013Great bartender - Ivan is skilled at making margaritas & lemon drops!UpvoteDownvote- The veggie burger might actually be their best burger - it's just that good.UpvoteDownvote

Julian GutmanJune 29, 2014Be wary of ordering too much. Even the midsize burger is huge and hard to finish.UpvoteDownvote
I love The Counter but MV location still doesn't live up to Palo Alto one... Service is great, but burgers lack seasoning big time.Upvote4Downvote
DSquirrelySeptember 26, 2013Great burgers but service needs some education. Like giving us our bill when we were 1/2 done. Feeling rushed sucks...Upvote2Downvote
X-tina 🦄March 4, 2018I ordered online at two different locations and both times I had to wait an additional 20 minutes but none of my food was hot... so for $15 a burger it’s not worth it.UpvoteDownvote
Darcy MatsubaJuly 8, 2013This place is hoot....the burgers are so salty and peppery!! Was hoping for better but maybe because this one just opened that's why...UpvoteDownvote
