overpriced? try 25 degrees. or not. save your money and go to the hungry cat for their better burger. the counter burger is about the same price as you would find in your normal sit down restaurant.

Their shakes are fantastic. Their apple pie shake... oh goodness... watch as they take a healthy slice of apple pie... and throw the whole thing in the blender... oh yes. burgers? eh. really. the counter is the cold stone creamery of LA burger joints... it's very exciting that you have so many iterations, to have fun and get exactly what you want. but then 60% of what you put on it ends up on your plate, the burger is under-salted/seasoned... and you have to console yourself with one of the best shakes in LA...

The burgers are too big (tall) IMO, and fall apart too easily. Lots of interesting choices, yes, but kind of overpriced for what you get. Fantastic sweet potato fries, though - better than Good Stuff Burgers -- and I love Good Stuff's sweet potato fries.

Eh that place is alright. I'm not a fan of thick burgers. Though I loved their churro shake (it was the shake of the month) and french fries.

The Counter is currently the best burger joint in LA, hands down. It's a great place to go nuts and give yourself the coronary you deserve. It's my understanding that they're opening more locations, and I hope the quality survives the expansion.
