Great burger and a great value! Although The Counter seems to specialize in esoteric burgers, I went completely traditional (1/3 pound beef, with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle and grilled onions, no ketchup or mustard (although I usually use mustard) and was impressed with how moist and tasty the perfectly cooked (medium/medium rare) burger was. The french fries, onion rings, and sweet potato fries were also wonderful. I was pleasantly surprised that for two of us, including tax and tip, the total came to less than $25, not including soft drinks, which were an extra two bucks. I was astounded that the kitchen prepared the "sampler" lamb burger for the group, cut it into four portions so we could all try it, but did not charge us for that! Also, the 1/3 pound burger is big enough for two to share.
Here's my suggestion for anyone dining there, however, to get an even greater value out of the place. If one purchases a $25 gift card, The Counter will give you a free 1/3 pound burger. For two people, buying the gift card would be a wonderful deal. When you include the free burger, you would get two burgers (normally $8.25 each) an order of fries and onion rings ($4.50) and still have over twelve bucks left on the gift card for beverages, sides or desserts! What a deal!
