Turkey Burger is great!
by Rye
The counter is a great place to grab a burger. I’ve tried both the beef and turkey burgers but I have to admit that the turkey burger was so much better. It’s cool that you get to completely customize your toppings and there are so many great sauces. I highly recommend stopping by.

by chigal30
I love this place! Their burgers are the best in the city! I made a bacon and grilled pineapple burger and it was sooo good. When I went their this weekend, I found out about this great contest where you can win free food! It's in conjunction with the election coming up. It's called Choice 2008 and from October 1st through Super Tuesday, you can vote for your favorite burger! All you have to do is go to their website or go into the restaurant and vote! And best of all, Voters who enter their email addresses will be rewarded with an email offer for a free dessert and are automatically entered to win a dinner for four at their local The Counter. Once all the votes have been tabulated, one winner will be selected from each of The Counter?s 13 U.S. locations for the free dinner and every voter will receive a free ?fifty-fifty? of fries, sweet potato fries or onion strings for participating in Choice 2008. So go vote guys! Those sweet potato fries are to die for! :)
