My coworker and I checked out The Counter for lunch yesterday. We liked it, but we didn't love it. Mario's the type of person who can eat a moderate sized meal and be full for hours; I, however, am hungry within an hour of eating. So while he was content with the portions well into the afternoon, I couldn't wait to eat something more (which lead to another afternoon burying my face in a bucket of fro-yo).
The food itself was good. We started with the Sweet Sriracha fries. They were pretty good and we devoured them before our burgers arrived. While many of the specialty burgers sounded great, we opted to build our own burgers. My bacon (of course) and jalapeno cheese burger, with dill pickles and spinach was perfectly cooked to medium. It wasn't greasy, which was pleasant.
Service was attentive without being suffocating. Yeah, it felt like we waited a while to get our food. But it was also incredibly fresh, so compromise. I understand we all have limited time for our lunches downtown, so when we go back we may call ahead to have an order ready for dining in.
