The Counter @ Roseville

Custom made hamburgers! Yes I know, this isn't something new, but you have to understand how difficult it is to find unique restaurants in Roseville, which is a suburbia for Sacramento. So Counter Burger it is. The concept isn't unique, but neither is the restaurant since it appears to be a chain within California and very similar to Custom Burger in SF. While visiting Watermelon the other weekend this is where we settled on eating because someone didn't like Johnny Garlic's, but I'm still determined to go one day! We sat at the counter and service was UBER slow...seriously no energy? Food overall was good...not the greatest burger I've had...and of course my comparison is always the mushroom burger <3

Menu - Ordering Pad
you build your burger by picking out your patty, bun, sauce, vegetables, cheese, special fixins etc. and if you're lazy like me you can just order off the menu that has 5 burgers. but i wasn't lazy per se, just that the Custom Burger had everything I would have added anyways :P

Coke Float
this was actually really good...and yum yum yum. it had to do with the ice cream, i don't think it's non-fat...but more like uber-rich-creamy-ness...maybe from kobe beef cows? haha yea right

Half Sweet Potato Fries & Onion Strings w. dipping sauces
nomnomnomom...yayyy!! ok so the sweet potato fries really good! and fresh! not too creasy...the onion strings were good at first, but then ended up being a teaser because i then wanted onion rings. haha

Counter Burger
[all-natural ground beef, provolne, sauteed mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, fried onion w. garlic aioli spread]

so the first bite was really good...but most things are right? the ground beef was good, but i think i've had better. i loved the mushrooms, but i always liked mushrooms. the bun was too soft for me...i think it needed to be toasted more...i needed more tomatoes too!!! ok so far mel's diner and burgers & brew have the best mushroom burgers...who wants to go to either one with me later this week :P
