Awesome build-it-yourself burger joint ! Customize your own burger by adding anything you want from a generous list of meat patties, vegetables , condiments, sauces, and buns . But service might be slow.

One of the few hip places we have in Woodbury and burgers taste good!Try mini burger and beer tastings!Delish!However I am not sure it can go up against big city artisan/gourmet burger places

Don Michael Antonio

New menu with healthy Tuna and Vegan burger alternatives plus salads are great!Now one of my fav Irvine foodie places to recommend!

When Oprah mentioned The Counter on her show, it sent sales skyward at the original Santa Monica store, paving the way for franchising. Read more

Hamburgers were delish! Shoestring fries were crispy on the outside soft in the middle! It was great! Our server Caroline was adorable and so very sweet!

Ryan Chang

The burgers - which are quite expensive - are well worth the price, as you can taste the QUALITY in the meat! (I chose the antibiotic free one)

Blaire Babyak

My favorite burger place ever! My daddy and I always come here during football season and sit at the bar . Look out for the market specials too! Lamb & bison burgers ! Great beers too!

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.)

Brandon Featherstone

Can't really go wrong with a burger from here... It's a little pricey , but every once in a while I don't mind paying for a great burger . Still not as good as Eureka or Unami though, sadly.

Suzie

Good accommodations for those with gluten intolerance or allergy. Offers gluten free buns (Udi's) or have your burger salad style.

Michele Saffari

Love the burger bowl. You can have the fries without the guilt of eating too much carbs when you eat the burger on a bed of fresh veggies .

Brian Franks

Awesome custom made burgers . Choose your meat, size, type of bun , and choose from doezens of choices of sauces, cheeses , add-ons, etc. Get your burger any way you want it and they are incredible. Onio Read more
