Harlem’s HungryMarch 1, 2015Go for the burgers! The tap selection is pretty sexy as well. The servers are really knowledgable with pairing burgers and beer. I recommend the one pounder at medium well if you're hungry. #Juicy
In NYCSeptember 7, 2015The build your own burger concept is fun and I was able to create something pretty healthful. It is crowded with tourists though. But if you are in the hood it's a good option.
Vonetta SmithSeptember 2, 2012This place is Johnny Rockets and Red Robin combined. The fries are great and the custom burger idea is awesome. If you're in NY and need a good burger, step up to the… (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Kimmie OhhJuly 3, 2020Get their namesake “The Counter” burger - beef burger, provolone, lettuce blend, tomato, fried onion strings, sautéed mushrooms, garlic aioli brioche. Get the NYC pastrami burger if available!
Sasha ChinnayaDecember 20, 2016Another fave spot. The Nutella and pretzel shake is amazing 👌🏽Their burgers are great, but I personally love the meltdown sand which.
Cristiano CorteziaMarch 30, 2019Custom tailored sandwiches, with options for vegetarians and they possibility to replace buns for salad. I got a classical beef, salad and Dijon mustard and it was excellent.
Priscila GasparAugust 16, 2016Celiac friendly!! Also good dairy free options! Service was poor but food was great! Build your own burguer and combine unexpected ingredients
TheóFebruary 15, 2017Great place for burgers. Just close your eyes and create your own burger, choose your toppings as many as you want. Don't forget, it is a custom built burger place!
Zack YoungFebruary 13, 2013This is a gem & not too pricey. Burgers are top quality, the fries are to die for, the service is excellent & a really great atmosphere!
Fabian OspinaApril 10, 2016The BBQ burger is delicious, the only thing I personally don't like is that they make you pay even for the BBQ sauce extra which is ridiculous... Good attention and excellent food anyway...
ThePlasticDiaries.comSeptember 9, 2014The veggie patties are vegan and you can select vegan cheddar and a vegan bun (ciabatta) for your burger. Lots of vegan-friendly toppings to add in as well.
VERY good burger. Shake was great, too. Highly recommended! The worst part is choosing what you want on the burger. The possibilities are endless.
Selina M.February 7, 2018It’s perfect that you can but your own burger. Even with low / no carb and gluten-free option. Was very yummy!
Larry LaBurrJune 19, 2015I am IN LOVE with this place. Great price for some off the charts good burgers - especially the tuna - and great service. Crowded at lunch.
Christina ChinOctober 30, 2016Got the red eye, hit the spot on late night, make sure to get a coupon outside they are usually giving out for free side of fries. Friendly staff
Tavonna MillerApril 10, 2014Um this is a GREAT burger joint I discovered yesterday with a friend! You get a lot of sophisticated choices at a great price! Great service as well!- Kimmie OhhJuly 3, 2020Order the Parmesan fries & their chili. Dip your fries in the chili for an even better version of chili cheese fries.
Robert RileyDecember 16, 2011Even the turkey parties are phenomenal. 2/3 turkey, jalapeno jack cheese, chipotle aioli, roasted corn and black bean salsa, carrots strips, mixed greens, and hard boiled eggs on an English muffin!
Sam SNovember 28, 2015The burgers here are huge and great. But don't forget to get a shake. The adult shakes stand out as better than even Shake Shack.
Queen KimaOctober 27, 2014Custom burger with plenty of options to choose from (even choice of bread) for those picky eaters who can't find a great turkey burger...like me
Tom BurnsAugust 24, 2015This place is amazing! You can have as many toppings as you like, pick your bun, sauce and choose from several meats
Mauricio CubillosJuly 29, 2018The option of building your own burger is brilliant, the quality of the ingredients is outstanding and the crew is very friendly.
Chad IrickDecember 19, 2012The burgers are great but if you can't handle a bloody burger get it well done. Their "medium" is very close to rare.
- Janyce PreJune 26, 2013Kind of got jipped out of my newbie special, but the food is delicious nonetheless. Definitely try the Birthday cake shake!!
Alice HennessyDecember 13, 2011Overall, a yes. Gave me peanut butter for my burger, technically not on the menu, so yes, awesome service. Lots of options actually on the menu. Only neg., my what bun was a little dry.
Vanessa MartiniJanuary 17, 2017Good make-your-burgers... and for starter the loaded tots... (come really hungry because they are BIG burgers
Carrie BrownOctober 16, 2014Build your own burgers are delicious. Enjoyed the sauce selection especially. Pricey, but I mean, it is Times Square.
Collette SJune 21, 2015Build your own burger. Always get the parmesan fries when I come! You will smell like a burger / grease for the rest of the day after dining here....
Gilt CityFebruary 14, 2011Offering four types of patty, 12 types of cheese, 33 toppings, 21 sauces and six types of bun (think: English muffin), The Counter makes it possible to build exactly 312,120 different burgers.
ColbyAugust 16, 2013If you come here and aren't sure what to have, you can never go wrong with a Caramel Apple Crumble Shake. It's the perfect shake anytime, any day.
- John BarnhamJanuary 23, 2016Parmesan fries are amazing! The burgers are also great and you can make your own from scratch
NissaNovember 18, 2016They have a lot of gluten free options. I had the brie and bison on lettuce, highly recommend

Indira vJanuary 25, 2018I really enjoyed that I could build my own burger and the peach mint fizz is amazing!!

Phil KearneyAugust 12, 2011Awesome - get the 1/3 beef burger on english muffin with horse radish cheddar cheese, Tobasco, corn and black beans, chipolte and anything hot. YUMMMMM!
Tugce OzenJanuary 19, 2012The best thing about this place is that you can create your own very delicious burger and also their potato fries with parmesan is perfect!
Matthew RodriguezAugust 26, 2011As hard as it may be to believe, but this is decent food in Times Square! Lots of different options to choose from. I HIGHLY recommend getting the English Muffin for the bun & adding a fried egg.
Thomas PajorMay 5, 2015Great custom built burgers. I recommend adding Black Forest Ham and a fried pineapple.
Tyler BrockJune 13, 2013Make sure to get the English muffin bun and shoestring fries (they have a positively dank Cajun seasoning)
Caitlin LevineJanuary 4, 2014veggie burger is delicious and unique: black beans, rice, and cranberries!
Evan HJuly 19, 2013Such an amazing place to eat in Times Square. Awesome service and great good. Highly recommend coming.
Thomas AndersonJuly 22, 2011Pesto Sauce - dip your burger in this! Also fried egg on a burger is awesome. Meat not as good as Shake Shack, but shorter line makes up for it.
WyngspanJanuary 26, 2014We love the fried pickles to go along with one of the best burgers in the city! Help spread the word with a trust rating: http://bit.ly/1eXQhkW
Lauren MacAugust 21, 2015Love their burgs, but I ordered a Caesar salad ($8) and they gave me 2 long pieces of lettuce. I don't care if you're a burger place, take it off the menu instead of ripping people off.
Tracy SolorzanoApril 17, 2016It gets pretty packed during lunch hour. I did takeout and got the turkey burger which was pretty good.
