Reviews for The Counter in Honolulu, HI
As always, very tasty food that?s served incredibly quickly! The Bacon BBQ Burger had deep fried shoestring onion rings that... were delightful! The bbq sauce was sweet and tangy. Honestly, my wife had the Teriyaki burger and after one bite of that, Iwish I had gotten that burger instead! Yum! We have leftover fries for days, which I?m not complaining about :) Read more
I saw this place on Instagram and really wanted to go, so we did. It was good, and the base price of the burgers are fine, but... there?s a ton of little things that cost quite a bit. I have pictures of our burgers and my husband?s drink (which was thisreally good berry lemonade, but also was expensive), but I forgot to get a picture of my mint milkshake. The milkshake was good,but not $8.25 good. Overall, good food, but not well worth the price Read more
So many years we only ate across from The Counter and I wondered how their food was. Now that I have eaten there, I chiled... myself OMG I should have eaten there years ago! Great service, better than great meal! The choices were almost limitless andserving portions enough for two meals. In fact, I only ate half the burger ???? and just a few of the shoestring sweet potatofries, and needed a to-go box which I ate for dinner. I didn't even finish the full glass of soda that I was served. Definitelywill come back to try more combinations! Read more
My first time ever coming to The Counter Custom Burgers and I can say, it surely will not be my last. I reviewed 4 of their... signature sandwiches and all of them did not disappoint. My favorite sandwich that I en(Counter), pun intended, was the Bison IsGouda burger. It was everything that I was hoping that it would taste like. Yes, it was more overcooked than what I asked for,but maybe the cooks feel it would have been better mid-well over mid-rare. But, I seriously still enjoyed every bite that Itaken from this burger. If I could give it six stars I would. Now the one thing I had some disappointment in and i mean somedisappointment, was the Nashville Hot chicken sandwich. It didn't have the hotness that I was looking forward to. I love me somehot foods and if you going to say Nashville Hot, I would like for the restaurant to make sure they know how hot Nashville Hotreally should be before serving it. And secondly, make sure that the chicken is already smothered in that Nashville Hotnessbefore serving to the customer. If you were trying to protect us from extreme hotness ????, there's no need to do so. All inall, I will definitely keep coming here for my bison ???? burger fix for sure!!! Read more
The counter, for a first time visit with friends, we all decided to come here. It was a very good experience. I got to try bison... meat! And it was very good! :) I liked it. You can create your own burger, or even a salad. I went with making a burgersalad. But none the less. It was a good choice between friends to come here and enjoy a meal. :3 Read more
My wife and I happened to visit Kahala mall on a Saturday. It was lunchtime. We were going to eat at the food court but we were... looking for something not found near my home in Leeward side. The Puka's at Wholesale Market was closed so we end up at theCounter Custom Burger. It's tempting to make my own custom burger but since we're new to the place, we'd rather try theirburgers in the menu. My wife got the Bison is Good burger and I had the Breakfast burger. We both have are burgers at medium.The Bison burger has still some pinkish color in the middle and we both like it. It was juicy, perfectly cooked. The beef on myBreakfast burger has less pink color and looks slightly burnt on the outside. It was good but I feel like the Bison was better.The Bison feels healthier to eat. The Bison has spinach while the beef has tomato. The beef had the Applewood bacon which addssmoky flavor to the Breakfast burger. Both had eggs so kind of messy to eat. Both eggs were cooked right. It was gooey but nottoo runny. The Bison comes with their house made thousand island; while the beef comes with sweet sriracha sauce. Both saucewere delicious but I wouldn't recommend to put a lot of it on the burger. The burger is the star of the dish and you don't wantthe sauce to overcome it. We did have the Buffalo cauliflower as our app and that was good, too. We had the buffalo sauce on theside so we can control the heat. The ranch sauce also helps mellow the spiciness. My wife tried their mint peach lemonade whileI tried their pom-berry lemonade. It was not something we like after we tasted it. I mean the drinks were on the meh side forus. We feel like we can skip those drinks next time and try something else. Speaking of next time, if we come back here again,we might eat the Bison is Gouda again. And then maybe I will make my own custom burger. Read more
The new check in process was smooth. I ordered the minis. They had a great flavor. The chicken chili was chunky and tasty. As... always the sweet potato fries were my favorite. The dipping sauce works so we'll. Liz's chicken bacon ranch was just massive. Read more
This place is pretty good. It?s a little pricy but everything is always tasty. I go here to splurge when I?m feeling for a fancy... burger. The counter burger is pretty good. I?m impressed with the sides and shakes, because they are also on par with theburgers. It?s pretty lit. Read more
