Don't let the rating fool you, I was thoroughly unimpressed by the burgers.
The three stars are for service, fries and presentation. Our waitress, Casey, was awesome. She was fun and attentive, but knew exactly when to back off and let us "enjoy" our food. Fantastic service.
Shoestring fries are my favorite. These were crisp and light and wonderful. I offered some to my date but I was very relieved when she declined.
The Counter is a cool trendy place. Kind of like an updated diner sort of feel.
THE BURGER WAS COLD.
Every component was cold. If you're offering a completely customized burger but can't handle putting all the components on in a timely fashion, why offer it? The patty was cold, the grilled peppers and tomatoes were cold, the lettuce was cold, the draft beer was cold, my seat was slightly cold. SO COLD.
And that will be the only time I complain about something being too cold in the summertime in Phoenix.
