Photo: The CounterOld School Cheeseburger
The Counter’s take on the classic, and a good baseline. Tillamook cheddar instead of American, a full set of salad and the house relish give it a slightly tangier, fresher taste than a fast-food cheeseburger. If you are not in the mood for the clipboard, start here.

About The Counter
Jeff Weinstein opened The Counter in Santa Monica in 2003 with one gimmick that turned out to be a very good idea: instead of a menu, you get a clipboard and a pencil. You tick your protein, cheese, toppings, sauce and bun from a checklist, and the combinations run into the millions.
Restaurants across the US, with franchises abroad. Headquartered in Culver City, California.
