This is the place to go for customized make your own burgers in Pasadena . They also serve various appetizers, sandwiches, chilis and salads. We like to order the 50/50 appetizer with Parmesan fries and sweet potatoes. One can also order a protein over salad greens for a healthier meal. Love the mahi mahi salad and strawberry milkshake!

I love this place! We went on Thursday afternoon and the place was almost empty, so our order came so fast! Burguers are really tasty , We tried the counter and beef and blue burguers, both were amazing ! Also the loaded tots are good 🙂 we are definitely coming back!

Probably one of the best burgers you could find in Pasadena. Although the frites were not my favorite, the onion chips and the ranch sauce complements the flavor of the patty very well. I would definitely go back for more:)

Great place to build your own special hamburgers. Nice inside, I enjoyed sitting at the counter. It was a cold night, so had a nice cup of chili. Loved the flavor. I also enjoyed the grilled cheese with bacon. Nice selection of sides and appetizers. The last time I was here, I enjoyed building my own hamburger. Looked wonderful and tasted delicious. The staff was attentive and nice.

Really enjoyed The Counter. I had the build your own burger. Had a 1Lbs all beef burger w/ bacon on a Hawaiian roll bun. Not to mention numerous toppings. Good good good. Note: almost too much to eat. Went mid day on a Tuesday the place was empty. The family enjoyed as well.

No no, not worth the price. This place seemed like a really good option as I could get a fully vegan impossible burger and my husband can indulge in whatever he would like but it was not at all the burger I was hoping for.

One of the best place in lake avenue for customized burgers. You have pretty good options for vegan burger as well. Along with burgers you can enjoy salads, fries, beverages, refreshers, chilis and other cocktails. Good for brunch and dinner. Outdoor sitting available and view is good.

I came here because of the reviews I read. That was a mistake. Its was hard for me to give this a 2 star review. But the waitress was pleasantly nice. (This is going to be a rant more than a review.)
