The Counter

"A" and tried this new Times Square burger place for lunch today. The Counter is located at 1451 Broadway.

It's a small place for this area and quickly became very crowded after we had been seated.

"A" and I both had a 1/3 beef burger ($8.95) with your choice of cheese (I had Gruyere), 4 toppings (I had pickle ships, tomatoes, corn salsa and grilled onions), sauce (steak) and bun (we both ordered whole grain). And you can add extra cheese or toppings ("A" added bacon for $1).

And we shared a Fifty-Fifty side which was a combination of onion rings and fries ($5.95). The sides were served very quickly we ranch dressing and bbq sauce so we filled up on them. The onion rings were very good.

Our waitress said the burgers are usually cooked "very pink", but my burger was more medium well than medium rare. The burgers were good, but not fantasic.
