    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.

    Myriad 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!

    This 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.

    Great 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!)

    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.

    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!

    The apple pie moonshine milkshake can't be beat! One of the best shakes I've ever had.

    Ask for the sampler. It's not on the menu but comes with onion strings, sweet potato, regular fries and deep fried pickers. Yum!

    Food 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.

    The burgers are a little on the pricy side, but the amount of options and customization that you get is quite awesome.

    Don't come here if you're trying to be healthy. But they do have a delicious turkey burger. Do their build a burger menu.

    Turkey burger medium rare with pineapple grilled and a side dish of half sweet potato fries and french fries.

    The veggie burger might actually be their best burger - it's just that good.

    Great burgers but service needs some education. Like giving us our bill when we were 1/2 done. Feeling rushed sucks...

    Solid burgers. Slightly pricier than I would really hope. They also have a pretty decent bar.

    Be wary of ordering too much. Even the midsize burger is huge and hard to finish.

    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.

    I 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.

    Tiny space, prepare to sit outside. Mixed up orders, meat not cooked well. Cranky waiters that couldn't answer menu-questions. Go somewhere else.
