Jane BorochoffJuly 30, 2013You can get your burger "in a bowl", and choose your own toppings and extras. They also have gluten-free burgers. Not a lot of salads or non-burger choices though.
Liz BurlingOctober 8, 2014This place is amazing! Great options for creating your own burgers, good beer selection, and very friendly and helpful staff. This is now one of my new favorite burger spots in Houston.
Rhi MMarch 28, 2014Super fancy burgers! They have turkey, bison, veggie and more. You can be gluten,dairy, corn and soy free here! They are very accommodating for food allergies. Their gluten free buns are very good!
Went there 3 times last month and will keep going back. Bison with a Bite burger is the best, and you have to try the nuttela pretzel milkshake!
CultureMap Houston ManagerMarch 6, 2012There a selection of a dozen cheeses (gruyere! brie! horseradish cheddar!) plus 30 extras like a fried egg, guacamole, applewood smoked bacon and pineapple, and another 20 sauces.
BradleyJuly 14, 2013The Counter burger is a great burger to try on a first visit. The old fashion was also delicious!
Clifton MSeptember 2, 2015Burgers made to order with too many options for condiments. Ok wine selection. Daily specials.
Grace TaylorMay 30, 2011Veggie burger is delicious especially with the goat cheese spread and multigrain bun. Parm fries were easily the best french fries I've ever tasted in my life.
Brooke Jacobs-RossNovember 6, 2010Great burger - huge selections! If you don't feel like being creative they have burgers on the menu. Staff was very friendly and helpful! If you aren't sure, they will help!

Lauren AniessSeptember 29, 2013Awesome and tasty burgers in which you can customize to your own liking. Plus the servers are friendly!
Atakan TamerJanuary 10, 2015Beef is amazingly tasty, and you can customize your burger any way you like.- Brooke Jacobs-RossNovember 6, 2010Also - fries offered in 50/50 so you and a friend can try two kinds and desserts looked awesome and were only $5 bucks! Great value and very nice patio area!!
Swanky MavenMarch 10, 2012Try the Caramel And Chocolate Brownie - @thecounterHOU this was so good that we wanted 2 slap the shit out of somebody:-). Yes we r violent when we r happy.
mark matsusakiJanuary 30, 2013The burgers are good, but a little on the pricey side for lunch when places like Christians and Lankford are close.
Blake SOctober 14, 2010So many selections for burgers. I have been three times and every time has been good and well priced. Try the veggie burger, it's great!
Pat WenteMarch 12, 2011We liked it a lot. Chuck says best burger he's ever had that he didn't make. Huge portions. A splurge but worth it.
ask for Justin. He's gives great service and is very social as well.
Awesome! Build your own burger with great choices for sauce and toppings.

Like the burgers and options just fine - however... lemme warn you, don't come here on your lunch hour. This place is too laid back for a quick bite.
Chris AllenApril 21, 2011This place is super yummy. For what is offered it is a great deal. I like it!
Paula HinesMay 3, 2011Don't even need to try to create your own burger...the taco turkey burger is perfect!
Joe DotsonApril 16, 2011Burgers are good. Love the music, but it should be illegal to charge extra for fries with a burger.
Social SullyOctober 21, 2011Happy Hour Monday - Friday 3-7pm $2 Mini Cheeseburger, Half off Starters, $2 off draft beer and wine
Cool atmosphere, good custom burgers, friendly staff. Try the sweet potato fries!
ChadOctober 23, 2010atmosphere is cool, beer selection is good, build your own Burger... what could be better?
Mimi G.September 28, 2011Built Your Burger options so good that you'll overlook the sub-par service.
Delicious but incredibly slow service (yes, on a Saturday night, but they weren't that busy.)
Joshua WilliamsApril 18, 2016Very mediocre food. The burgers were meh; fries meh; shake was more like a runny smoothie. Mediocrity.....
Been here 10 minutes and I am unimpressed. This place belongs in Miami. The staff is not friendly, the decor is a bit too euro, the music is awful, & everyone around is complaining about the service.
