Great and tasty burger with the atmosphere to boot. Custom burgers so you get to select your favorite toppings and any extras with plenty of interesting sides to select from.

Extremely popular. Came for Impossible Burgers. They were more dry than others we'd had. Staff seemed overwhelmed by the crowd.

Great burger. Nice people. Small venue.
They made my favorite 1/2 pound bison mushroom Swiss md rare to perfection.
Staff was super nice.
The location is smaller than other Counters I’ve been to but the food was as good as ever.
Free Parking in the back as well as in the street.
Lots of other places to visit on California Ave after your meal.

Burgers-Top Choice!
If you're looking for an out of the ordinary, delicious burger,this is the place. This storefront restaurant had figured out how to get it right. After being seated, you're handed a menu and a check off list with dozens of options. Choices of protein, including bison and meatless, bun, cheeses, garnish, condiments, toppings and sides- combinations endless. I chose the bison burger on brioche, guyere,garlic aioli,organic greens, grilled red onions, avocado, side of shoestring fries. Best burger I've ever eaten, perfection. All of our lunch party declared the food fantastic. Service was spot on, provided by server Lucy. Atmosphere is good busy. Yummmmm!

Burger Place
really good burgers and the like for a average cost in the Palo Alto area. Nice outdoor seating, dog friendly, heat lamps for outside in case it gets chilly and friendly staff.

Excellent place for a good burger and fries
The have several choices for vegetarians including the impossible burger 2. You have a choice of sweet potato fries or the traditional kind. In addition the shoe string onion rings are excellent. Why not go for the 50,50 option. The service is also fast but courteous.

One of the best burgers in the region
I've been in most burger places at Palo Alto, and this is my favorite. The meat is of real quality, and you have plenty of options. I also like the service.

Great burgers
We enjoy coming to The Counter. It is a relaxed, non-formal burger joint with custom made burgers and excellent sweet potato fries. I still find it hard to believe that one can pay $13 for a burger when you can a decent one at In and Out for 25% of the price.
