Every time I've ever been to a Counter it's been delicious. A chain for sure, but the service at this location was great. Also, the summer 2015 special, street corn , is wonderful.

Derek Gardner

Burgers are great! Vegan Veggie patties as well ! Good variety of make your own options! Fries and sweet potato fries are so good! Friendly people and good prices!

Valeriya Tsoy

You can build your own burger without any difficulties....They have a different variety of flavored which you combine by yourself)))

Meredith Sweet

Lots of different, regularly-changing options for things like sauce, but beware: some sauces will make for a soggy (though delicious) burger . Apricot sauce, I'm lookin' at you!

Gilt City

With four types of patties, 12 types of cheese , 33 toppings, 21 sauces and six types of bun , exactly 312,120 different burgers combos are possible. (House-made guac and tangy tzatziki are two faves.)

Jason Jensen

The counter was doing up amazing burgers in LA before all these other billions of places popped up. Still my favorite... Casual , solid beers , milkshakes , endless possibilities.

S. Williams

Surprisingly reasonable for a high-end burger . Fry options are great for sharing as well . Be sure to try brie on your burger - it's my favorite cheese by far. Read more

The food was great and the service from Tina the celebrity waitress was phenomenol as usual. Must come back again.

Beth Barany

My husband says his garden burger is excellent except that his choice of blue cheese and pineapple doesn't go together well . ????

With all the healthy add-ons (grilled pineapple , roasted peppers , sprouts & more), even a juicy burger can be nutritious. Bonus - whole wheat buns and vegetarian-friendly patties.

Arloa Reston

If you can't decide between fries , onion strings & sweet potato fries , get the trio. Not on the menu but it has all three.

Delf Enriquez

cool concept, love the turkey burger in a bowl plus 50/50 sweet fries and onion strings . it\'s the dressings that make it all yummy-yums. I love the aioli and will dip everything in

Tv is small for NFL. Kids eat here too. Kid next to me got a root beer float . I stuck my spoon in there when he went to the restroom . I'm not sick right now, so the kid should be okay.
