Burgers at The Counter

Both having had disappointingly unsatisfying lunches and thanks to a Living Social deal, Rob and I tried The Counter located in the Ballard Blocks just off the Ballard bridge.

The Counter has an airy and inviting atmosphere, reminiscent of a soda shop but one that serves adult beverages along with the shakes and malts.  The burger menu is so extensive it comes with instructions. 

First, choose your protein, and its weight after cooking, 1/3 lb, 2/3 lb and 1 pound.  Yes people - a one pound burger!  Then select from a plethora of toppings to choose from including cheese, veggies, sauces and finally a bun. My choice went low carb with a "bowl" version where they substitute the bun for a bowl of organic greens or lettuce atop which lie all your previous selections.

We started our meal with a platter of skinny french fries (my carb quotient) and finished it off with Key Lime Pie.  A much more satisfying meal than our lunches.  We'll definitely go back, but next time I'm starting with the deep fried dill pickle chips.
