Reviews for The Counter in Irvine, CA
A modern burger joint with a wide choice of burgers. The glazed sprouts are superb. Beef Blue burger and Sweet Potato Fries was... average and the level of service was rather amateurish... Hence my 3 star review. Read more
I got the Lucy Juicy burger. It was alright. I was expecting more things from the burger, like tomatoes or avocado or lettuce,... but it was only the patty. I guess I should have read the menu more carefully (didn't have my glasses). My colleagues got goodlooking burgers, maybe I'll come back and try them out next time. All in all the service was good!

The first time I ordered, the meat was super well done (ordered medium) and I didn't like it. My wife tried my burger and did... like it though, so a few months later we gave it another go. We both ordered burgers this time and they came out as ordered,but both of us felt kind of "meh". Too bad! Read more
Tasty! A little slow service but burger was solid. I prefer my burger a little greasier and a little more “worked in” with... the ingredients fused together but nevertheless, this is a solid burger. Good ingredients, condiments, sauces, infinite choicesreally. That bacon onion jam thing was ???? Read more
It's so yummy and delicious And I thank lwie for his good treatment ??????????
Wow, there were so many free options to customize my burger!.. With different burger types, like bison, and some cheeses at... additional charge. There was so many other burgers, sandwiches, sides, and shakes to choose from. Overwhelmed by the selectionsavailable, I decided my first try should just be a margarita and cheeseburger on the regular menu. My burger was perfect mediumrare, juicy, and trimmings so fresh. French fries were deliciously crisp and hot. My margarita was Perfect, Perfect, Perfect!The drink price was almost half compared to other OC restaurants, and it wasn't even happy hour yet... I would have gladly paidmore for my perfect drink! The hostess seated me right away, drink came in 10 minutes and lunch at 20 minutes, and managerchecked in to see if I was enjoying my meal. Friendly and attentive staff was very good. Definitely coming back to this gem. Read more
Had a great experience here. Aside from meats and cheeses, all other toppings are available free of charge. There are many... exciting options ranging from croutons to eggs. The 1 lb burger turned out to just be two half pound patties, which is not asexciting but definitely better for the flavor. Read more
After last two visits sadly giving The Counter a down grade. Neither of the last two visits was this location busy. Despite... the fact the there were only a half dozen costumers, nearly all the open tables were dirty. We had a very long wait for food,service was slow. Then my wife's dish was way too salty and over peppered. My order was wrong. On the second occasion theyscrewed up my wife's order, took it back, after a delay, brought back the order in a to go box. Then took it back and afteranother delay brought it back correctly, but without silverware. Meanwhile I was done eating as my food was getting cold. Wiferated her meal as mediocre, definitely not worth the wait and aggravation. Nothing wrong with my meal this second time, but itwas nothing special. (Great burgers lots of choices. Ingredients are nice and fresh and there's lots of selections for thosethat don't desire beef. Atmosphere is great the staff is friendly and service quick Read more
