True to its name, The Counter, is a one-of-a kind hamburger restaurant that allows its guests to custom build their burgers. Guests are given a menu with five steps and are asked to mark down exactly what they want, starting with what kind of burger: beef, turkey, veggie, or grilled, chicken and the size: 1/3 lb., 2/3 lb., or 1 lb. You can also choose to have a burger in a bowl—build your burger without the bun. Next, you choose your cheese, and move on to select toppings and sauce. Finally, you choose the bun. I must say the choosing your toppings and sauces are not as easy as it sounds. The Counter offers 27 different toppings and 17 different sauces! I had a very difficult time even deciding if I wanted a hamburger or if I wanted to try the burger in a bowl.

I finally decided to go with the burger in a bowl. I had grilled chicken on a bed of mixed baby greens, with a ton of toppings such as avocados, roasted corn and black bean salsa, Bermuda red onions, chili, and tomatoes, all topped off with a southwestern Caesar sauce. It was quite delicious and a perfect meal on a hot day.

The décor of the The Counter is very inviting. The open restaurant and patio seating is perfect for summer. The Counter has even thought of the kids and offers a game corner where the Wii can entertain the little ones. Although I would not recommend taking a date here for a romantic dinner, it is a perfect spot for a lunch date or a luncheon with the gals.
