Description

My partners and I are all local, Bay Area residents and enjoy bringing great burgers to our friends and neighbors. While The Counter is a franchise, we were the very first franchisee back in 2006 and so we like to think of ourselves as more mom and pop than as Morea chain. We are very hands on and like to hear about all the good as well as anything we could be doing better.

I prefer not waiting for a table. The servers are friendly , and it's walking distance to the mall. :P You can choose your toppings, meat, bread, etc. I am not a big meat eater, so it's a lot for my size. I would go again if I am craving for a burger!!! Go Niners & Sharks!!!!!! Read full review
  • Rating: 5.0 out of 5"by Tassie C. at Yelp User Review1/9/2013I've been coming here since they opened about three years ago, and am probably here about twice a week. It's the place where everybody knows my name! The food is a seriously good deal. I always get the grilled chicken or the veggie burger. They make their own veggie burgers, and they are the best I've had … Read full review
