I love burgers so when I saw build your own burger, I was immediately interested. The place is small with a very casual atmosphere. You can choose to sit at the counter or at a table or booth. The menu has several burgers already customized but you are welcome to build your own. I picked The Counter burger and it... More

The Counter is kind of like a diner-style burger restaurant, with some other sandwiches and salads on the menu. The build your own burger menu (also includes chicken and a couple of other options besides beef) is excellent, with a wide range of toppings. They also serve wine and beer. The food and service were great. I would definitely recommend... More

friendly people. excellent beer selection. delicious french fries and sweet potato fries. good chocolate float. Burgers are reasonable price and superb quality. On site parking in nice plaza near Ralph's.

We were visiting relatives in Marina Del Rey when we were given a recommendation to try The Counter in the Waterside Shopping Center. Their fare supposedly included, "The best burger in LA." Right! How many places have laid claim to that title? Well, my wife and I were extremely impressed with the hamburgers we had at The Counter and we're... More

I love The Counter. I eat at the Counter anytime I travel near one. I even went to the Miami airport early one time to make sure I had enough time to get a burger before my flight. I have tried a few different styles and each one was great. The fries are also really good there. You can also... More

If you are looking for gourmet burgers in Venice / Marina del Rey this is a nice place to go. We tried this restaurant twice. The food was good. Not the best burgers I ever had but nonetheless on the high side. Prices are slightly on the high side (for this type of place) but still reasonable. I did not... More

Wow! We stopped by this center to pick up a couple of last minute items. Were headed to Ca Pizza Kitchen when we saw the Counter and said let's try it. Warmly welcomed and there was slight wait but it turned over quickly. We were given a very inviting and complete rundown of menu, assisted in choices. Attentive service even... More

Super food, simple menu to build your own burger or burger bowl. A little noisy, but it hasn't kept us from going back twice.
