The Counter Palo Alto

I must say, this is one of the things I miss the most about home. Being away at school in San Diego is difficult without my local Counter. The overall vibe of the restaurant is very nice. It is a great place for lunch or dinner.

While they do have a menu with burgers and soups, it is all about the "build-your-own-burger." They have chicken or beef, a few different sizes, different buns to choose from (honey wheat is my favorite), toppings, gourmet toppings such as avocado, portabello mushrooms, etc., and a great variety of sauces to choose from. This is no ordinary burger joint.

Their fries are great too! They have regular fries, sweet potato fries, and onion strings. You can get an order with just one of the above or a little of each. Never had their shakes, but they look amazing!

If you are craving a burger, go here. I promise you will not be disappointed.

I love going here for a guilty pleasure meal. The sweet potato fries are the best, and I like that the fries/ onion sting will come a little before your burger, like an appetizer. They get busy so go a little arly of late if you want to avoid the crowds. If you sit outside you have to order on your own, but on a nice night it is worth it. The toppings choices are vast, and I like the choice of english muffin instead of a bun. They have their own veggie burger and turkey burgers too.

This place will put anything on a burger from egss to hash browns to cole slaw. The bugers tend to get up ther in price with everything you add to it. But then again you wanted it that way. The fries are also sold separate. They also come out before you burger, therfore if you are like me be sure to tell them to bring your fries out with your burger.
