Second time visiting The Counter. The atmosphere is great, you feel like you're in a real downtown diner with a great downtown vibe. As for the food, it's pretty good. We ordered the fires which had great texture and the sliders, after the waiter gave us a great recommendation on how to have the burgers prepared. We also got a couple of their handcrafted shakes. I wasn't overly impressed with the shakes, but I think I'm more of a Frosty fan anyway. They did have a good selection of shakes to try from and a build your own option. Tip though, order the small shake, it's a good size and not that much smaller than the large. The only real downside to this place is the price. I wish you'd get a little more for what you pay for. All in all though, the food is good and the atmosphere is pretty unique for being in the center of Phx.
