MEGA JALAPEÑO BABY! If you are looking for great Hamburgers. I’d suggest you try The Counter. First: Easy to park, Ocean Park Courtyard has surface parking and underground parking, so no stress. Second: Awesome service, usually happy servers. Last time I went Timothy was our server and he did very good. Third: Hamburgers are massive. I ordered the Jalapeño Burger, and my gf customized hers. Check out the photos. If you have not decided yet what to eat today. Just go here and relax. LOL. See you!

My favorite place for a burger and shake in SM. Love the BYO burger options, and the bun and meat are delicious. But what really stands out are the customized milkshakes. I am a huge ice cream person, and these are genuinely some of the best milkshakes I've ever had. I try new combos every time because they're all so yummy. Seriously, do yourself a favor and try one.

I had been to The Counter once before years ago. I went back last Friday and was happy to find the same delicious food, fantastic atmosphere and excellent service. I like the build your own burger. I ordered a bison cheese burger with mixed greens and permesan fries. Everything here at The Counter is as great as it ever was. Just know if you go you will definitely be going here again.

The Counter in Santa Monica is a great burger joint that offers a customizable experience. The quality of the meat is excellent, and I love the wide variety of toppings you can choose from. The fries are also a standout—crispy and delicious. The service is quick, and the atmosphere is casual and comfortable. It's the perfect place for a casual lunch or dinner when you’re craving a burger

I've been eating here since it first was started. Years before their other locations opened. It is still so amazing. The staff are top notch. The food is immaculate. The atmosphere is clean and not pretentious. Everything about this place is exceptional. I LOVE it.

Our new favorite hamburger place. The burgers are scrumptiously delicious, flavored and seasoned with perfection. So many variations from Bison to veggie, lots of additions to make your burger POP. Excellent service, friendly staff all with the biggest smiles. We felt welcomed, not rushed. Enjoyed our meal immensely

I have been coming here for years. Service is good, food comes out quickly. It's delicious and fresh. Our favorite is the "build your own burger" option. And the shakes are soooo good. Highly recommend a shake when coming here. Sometimes, it can be cold in the restaurant. I always make sure to bring a jacket when I go there

Hit this place up for dinner a few times during my Santa Monica stay. I know they’re know for their burgers but I’m a pretty light eater so I can say the salads were big and delicious! The staff is friendly and attentive! A solid choice!

Went to get a burger and found out they have root beer floats! Mr Edwin hooked up the float to perfection. Very friendly staff. They were all smiling...I noticed. Thanks again Edwin, I'll be back for burger, onion rings, and root beer!!

Nice consistent burgers you can customize in so many ways with endless toppings and even a delicious salad bowl burger. Friendly staff and fair prices.

My favorite is the turkey chili with cranberries. Sweet and spicy taste. Yes, the burgers are good also. Atmosphere: fewer tables indoors with wide-open windows. You feel very comfortable with the airflow. Outdoor seating is nice as well. The staff is very friendly! A nice place to hang out for a moment.

Made a stop here after a day of brewery hopping and craving burgers. Definitely hit the spot. Very generous selection of toppings and patty/cheese options. Waitress was very friendly. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a solid gourmet burger.

I have been here twice now. This is the second time it's been excellent! I ordered the Hippie Salad, and for the amount of calories - this is the best darn salad I have had in a long time. Better than the comparable Tocaya chop chop. Great atmosphere and service.

One of my favourite burger places. The customisation available to make your own burger is the reason I keep coming back. I can experiment and try new toppings, cheeses, meats, etc. Quality is always consistent. Great price for the quality and service you receive.

No hot drinks available- pouring rain- chilly would have been nice to have cup of coffee or tea- have ice tea but no hot tea or hot chocolate- maybe change that

I wanted a really good burger so we decided to give this spot a try. I wanted the Juicy Lucy but they don’t serve that one here so my hubby brought back a different (the cheese wasn’t melted inside but whatever) also brought back and order of their garlic parm fries (even a lil warm they were still excellent) my hubby tried their old school cheeseburger along with their beef chili. When I tell you when he took the top off the chili you could smell the seasoning (almost too salty) but good none the less. Their burgers were fine nothing to scream about but good. I was can try again. (Only reason for the three star rating was i wasn’t the one picking up the food)

My daughter and her cousin went to eat there on their own for a 14-year-old birthday quarantine adventure. The staff was so sweet, they helped the girls feel comfortable and helped them pay.

Good burgers, good service, there is parking below the building which is convenient

Typically, The Counter is wonderful. But at our visit last night, service was sloppy; and the bartender was telling many guests that half of the staff had been laid off. Too much information.

This location was nice. Parking a bit tough but doable. Service just ok. Food ( even dressing ) came out at different times for table of 4 so that killed the experience. Wrong meal delivered to our table. We all agreed Service was not up to par with the price point. My Cobb salad was a huge disappointment. For 19.99 it is ridiculously small. Believe it or not there was not enough lettuce. The burgers were all excellent but I still can not recommend as it remains a compromised experience for a bill over $100.00

Very expensive for the portion size offered. Staff was offered good service Food was good but way to expensive. Beers are offered here to Good for families, a quick self stop, date night, or a group of friends . Ice tea was good . They offer a smokey ketchup that is unbelievable. Good for a business meeting . At these prices would not work well for a family with young kids. Street parking with meters can be found . Great location near airport . Clean and well cared for If you go here expect to pay big money .

I have enjoyed the SM Counter burgers for many years, but tonight's was the absolutely worst hamburger I've ever eaten. I asked for "well done" (menu said it would have slight pink running through it) and, instead, it was like eating a rubberized piece of cardboard smothered with onions and mushrooms. If it hadn't cost $27 (including the tip), I wouldn't be complaining... but it was disgustingly disappointing.

Very rude staff, and slow service. Staff have no idea who seats people and they sure don’t know how to communicate with customers.
