| - The only people who don't enjoy The Counter are people with zero creativity. It is definitely not your typical burger joint with predetermined concoctions, it requires a bit of effort. Upon entering the counter, one is greeted with a clipboard and an order sheet to create the perfect burger. The choice begins with your meat selection: beef, chicken, turkey, veggie, or the market selection (often a game meat). On to selection of cheese, topics (up to four, premium toppings such as guacamole are extra), sauce and bun choice (or a bowl with lettuce it that suits for fancy).
I chose a beef burger with sharp provolone, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes, corn and black bean salsa, red onion, and chipotle aioli on a honey wheat bun. The meat was amazing and the my selection of toppings made a damn fine burger. To accompany my beefy masterpiece, I sampled some fried pickles and a small order of fries. The fried pickles arrived with a ranch sauce and apricot sauce. The apricot sauce was a surprising complement to the saltiness of the pickle which resulted in an untouched side of ranch. The fries were perfectly crispy and shoe string thin. I used my leftover chipotle aioli for my fries- - a delicious combination.
Clearly, I cannot say enough positive things about The Counter. If you are a burger enthusiast, I certainly suggest going. They provide a list of "signature burgers" but I would urge you to make your own. And start out with an order of fried pickles. Its great for kids too.
