I remember when my husband first tried The Counter, where you can pick all manner of toppings for your burger. He didn’t choose well the first time, and had a disappointing experience. After that, he tried again, but this time went for a much simpler burger. He liked it much better. Not every topping or every sauce works well with one another. So,it’s definitely a bit of a trial-and-error experience at places like these.

The problem I think lies in the all the flavors on the meat or tofu and then trying to put more sauces on top of them. The first time I had the shrimp with a sauce and it came out fairly bland. The second time I ordered the tofu and the sauce I picked with it just didn’t match well. I tried the tofu again because hey its hard to find a gluten free quick option but again the sauce was a bad fit and this was after asking for their suggestion of a sauce. I wish they had a grilled tofu that didn’t have a sauce to compete with the other options. I have talked to over 10 people who also were very disappointed. Its a great concept but unlike Chipotle you can pick an option that doesn’t work out great.

I was just talking to my husband what an awesome concept that would be – I’d be there at least once a week. Can’t wait for one to open around San Mateo!

Sounds great! I agree about the airport. I used to work near Palo Alto. Wish this was there back then.
