| - I love The Counter and their awesome menu of custom built burgers. The quality is consistent, the ingredients are fresh and tasty, and they have grilled vegetables as a side instead of fries. It's easy to eat a healthy meal here, which I appreciate.
We found ourselves in downtown Phoenix for a concert at the Comerica Theater and wanted a quick meal before the show (and to avoid paying expensive concession prices for junk food once inside the concert venue). After walking a couple of blocks, we saw The Counter and got really excited. I've only been to The Counter restaurants in California and didn't know they had branched out to Arizona.
It wasn't crowded so we were seated immediately. We told the friendly server the second he came over that we were in a little bit of a hurry because we had a concert to get to. He acknowledged the fact and said he'd be mindful of our time. Well, if that is what he calls mindful, he's sorely mistaken. I swear this guy was slower than a sloth, and he ignored us while chatting up other tables. I love a server who is friendly, but we did inform him of our time constraints. My advice is that if you're in a hurry, don't think you have time to eat here. We had allowed a little over an hour to eat (not counting walking time back to the venue), and by the time he took our order and brought our check, we had very minimal time to actually eat our food. Yes, we probably should've allowed more time, but an hour at a burger joint should be sufficient.
I'm still giving this place four stars because the food was delicious. I just wish the server had been a little more attentive.
