Favorite place to grab some “create your own burger”
They have quite some vegetarian/vegan option. The vegan veggie patty is delicious. You can build your burger with bun or on mixed greens. They have the most amazing sauces and toppings option. The bread selection is also great.
The sweet potato fries are delicious and must try.

Positive: A wide range of menu choices and I like the taste.
Not so good: The prices are too high for a weekday lunch IMHO ($25 in my case). Also, I would like to have more low caloric food choices. In addition, although the staff is very friendly, I was unhappy on several occasions: Bringing food but forgetting the cutlery 🍴or not offering a refill on the drinks 🍻.

Grandson wanted a burger. Had some wings for appetizer. They were great. Service was so so. We ate inside and 20% was added automatically to bill. Prices are extremely high for the burgers we hot. Everything is a side and you are charged for French fries etc. Twenty bucks there about for just a burger by itself that is only 1/3 lb. to begin with is way too high. Had to leave the 20% mandatory tip that came to right under $20.00 was not worth it. I can see why there was only one other party of 2 in there at close to noon time. Will not be going back unfortunately 😕.

Loved the customizations for the burger and the staff was really nice. Buffalo burger was good but a little too rare for medium-rare my taste. I'll order medium next time.

It’s good. And it wants to be great. The burgers are good. The rosemary fries are really good. But that’s the word that just keeps coming back to me. “Good”. Not great. The pricing is what you would expect in Palo Alto. Too expensive.

Reliably good burgers - quite expensive, though. Build your own can get to North of $20...for a more price-performant option try assemblies already on the menu.
Wings are also very fresh, although the sauce is on the side and not spicy. Good beer on tap nice sloshies for kids.

We went to The Counter In Mountain View yesterday to celebrate my birthday and it was a disappointment, We ordered a burger and it was bland no seasoning and the bowl of chili was like warm and cold on top,the server and the draft beer were good but that's it then my friend gave the waiter a cash tip and when we got the bill they add 20% tip I just could not believe it people should have the choice on what to tip and it might create better employees that cook the food properly and then you have repeat business I just know that we won't be back again. Best of wishes to you

It has a great idea: build your own burger! You select the ingredients one by one. So, you could make a vegan burger, or a keto burger, or whatever burger you want!
The beef burger is GREAT, but don't put too many ingredients to be able to enjoy the taste. 😀
