Counter Burger might be one of the most expensive burger chains, but I think most of it is worth it. This area doesn't have much tourism or business so I think I don't think it's ever busy here. The servers were very nice and the place is just generally relaxing and chill.The build-your-own burger gives you the chance to pack in a unique experience with so many different options and having your burger cooked rare to well. Get ready to unlock your jaw and eat a monster of a burger if you get a bunch of toppings.If you're not in for a big meal. They have good Happy Hour options from sides, drinks, and full on combo meals.

Counter is located at a prime spot on Wilshire, right across the street from the La Brea Tarpits. The Counter is a casual family restaurant that focuses on burgers, fries, shakes and non-beef alternatives burgers and sandwiches. The dining area is roomy, airy with lots of sunlight with medium noise. There is also a large outdoor eating area. It was dog-friendly 12 years ago but I haven't check recently. Service is friendly. On weekends, it can get pretty busy but servers are attentive and friendly. Now the food. I don't come here consistently, but in my last visit (yesterday) I wonder why I don't come here often. I noticed that they have lunch specials and happy hour so I may have to come by and visit. In the past, I used to modify my order with their check list. It is a great way to order great food that caters to my taste, especially during times when I want to be low carb or paleo. The past few times I have been here, I have been ordering the Bacon BBQ, medium and parmesan fries. The burger is $17.50 and the fries, I believe was $5 -$6 and they are served generously. They are also known for their shakes! Though I haven't bought one for myself, I have sampled my companions' orders and it is quite delicious, easily can be shared with two people. My favorite has been the smoked s'mores. There is ample parking in their parking structure behind them but they changed the entrance. You would have to drive a little bit farther north to see the entrance. Make sure you validate your parking ticket, giving you about 90 mins free or discounted.

Great place with outdoor patio seating and lots of indoor seating with many TVs on the wall. We walked in, no host at the door but they'll acknowledge and tell you to sit anywhere you desire.I ordered a Diet Coke for my beverage. It's been way too long since I've had a DC. It tasted too sweet and a bit flat. I also asked for sliced lemon but it was not included with the drink. Service was good not great. I had a side salad with my burger. The group ordered a large side of fries as well. So why do you bring the entrees first? That is backwards! Lol. If you want to execute great service then think of the small things that really matter. I'd rather not make a ruckus out of minor service goofs at during a project group lunch. I'm super happy it was on the office's expense though. Haha! So, my PM said we all made it under the $30 per person limit! Lol.

Second time here and it's definitely a good place for a burger. Tried the veggie burger this time and I enjoyed but I like their turkey patty better. My boyfriend tried their bison burger and it said it was really good. I absolutely love their tater tots! Also love that you can create your own burger here!In terms of drink the classic margaritas are good, I also tried the blackberry bramble but felt it was too sour. This location had indoor and outdoor seating. It was pretty slow when we went but I feel like it's a big enough space that when it's busy you won't have to wait too long. All the servers were nice and the bartender was cool. He made sure we liked our drinks and also gave recommendations before we made our choice. Restaurant was clean and it was nice to be able to watch the game and actually hear it instead listening to music over it.

I had the veggie burger at The Counter in Miracle Mile, and it was so good! The patty was flavorful, and all the toppings were fresh. The wait was a bit longer than expected, but the taste made it worth it. The customer service was also great--friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back for another visit!

We loved this place! We needed food after the tarpits so walked over to the Counter. The server was so kind. We have a serious food allergy to corn which limits our bread choices and she looked up the breads for us to find one that was safe. Even though she had a huge party she still helped us and we are so grateful. The burgers were fantastic! I had never seen so many ad ins and I totally enjoyed them. Never had added shredded carrots to a burger but they were great - as were the sprouts, mixed lettuce. Cucumber, avocado, chives and egg! Just excellent. Loved the beer selection too. But, again, the help we got with our allergy made everything stellar. Thank you so much for being so kind!

The Counter is like a choose your own adventure for burger lovers. It can easily be overwhelming looking at the selection, but also so welcoming. It's just a shame that over the years certain items have gone from standard items to premium. At least this location has several items (i.e. roasted corn) that other locations I've visited no longer offer. We came to this location on Father's Day after a trip to the tar pits. When we saw it wasn't too busy, we were excited that it should be a relatively quick trip. Unfortunately, service was slower than expected. I'm not sure if it's because of lack of staff or just a slow kitchen (or both) but what we thought would be maybe an hour meal ended up being close to two. But when we did interact with the wait staff they were incredibly friendly and helpful. They were also very accommodating for my family which included 3 small kids.Our meals did come out hot and correctly which was great. Everything was cooked properly and tasted great.So, if you're in the area and ready for a fun, albeit a possibly long, meal, then The Counter is your spot.

A great place to stop by after a long day at work. I got the tater tots to start with, and they were perfect, served hot and fresh, and just the right ratio of soft to crunchy. I got the counter burger, which comes with provolone cheese, fried onions, mushrooms, lettuce and tomatoes. I got rid of the cheese and tomatoes, and I was immensely satisfied. Service is very fast and friendly, and the restaurant despite spacious with many booths available. And let me just say, they were very generous with the shoestring fries which pair well with the aioli garlic sauce.
