The Counter

We were sitting at the counter at The Counter. Ha! Love saying that.

No, really, we were sitting at the counter of The Counter for our lunch. If you've never been to The Counter, they are a burger chain out of California that franchise a location to Houston. Trust me, that's a welcome chain.

Their specialty is burger, and you can literallly have it your way. Be your way is with beef, chicken, or turkey, on an onion bun, gluten free bun, or not bun at all (like a salad bowl). With 12 different kinds of cheese, more than 20 differnent types of toppings on top of seasonal toppings. Not to mention 21 types of sauces, and 5 types of buns.

1/3lb of burger starts at 8.50, and then your toppings and variation is where it started to add up. What make these burger so good that they can charge so much? They are hormone and antibiotic free angus beef. Not to mention their ingredients are pretty tasty. I don't mind paying for something that taste good.

The tricks are the sides... I had a milkshake, which is handspun right there. And we split the fries, and be careful about that. Your first temptation is to order your own side of fries. One order is a huge plate full of fries. While they are good and addictive, that's alot on top of your burger. So make sure you order a single order, which is a half order for one person. If you have a group with you, you should try to get the Fifty-Fifty, which can be half French fries, half sweet potato fries, or half fries and half onion rings. Give that a shot. Good chipotle aioli sauce... keep that with your fries!
