As we are currently somewhat housebound, our friends agreed to check out a new burger place they’ve been wanting to try, take-out style. It turned out that the new burger place for them, was kind of an old favorite burger place of my. I say kind of an old favorite, purely because we haven’t been acquainted so long that it could truly be an “old favorite”.

This favorite burger joint is The Counter. This place has restaurants all over the country, as well as some international locations. I’ve been to two different locations and thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this burger joint. First thing is that the menu allows you to make your own custom burgers by selecting various toppings from the list. You can have your burger in a bowl, for a healthier version, or on a bun. From vegetarians to carnivores, there are alternatives for everyone. As hubby and friend found out yesterday, a lamb burger option made it to the menu. They of course quickly changed their orders to lamb. I had the turkey burger and Vicky, from Shrimpaholic, had a beef burger (she’s an all American burger lover). We also shared an order of regular fries as well as Parmesan fries. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food. And why not? The portions are not too big, not too small, they are just right.

This place is good for kids and for adults. They offer all types of beverages, from milkshakes to a full bar.

Next time I am opting out for lamb and crazier toppings.

What’s your favorite burger joint?
