Urban Counter Review

Not sure why I haven’t been here before, driven by many times, and am now sad this hasn’t been one of my regular burger stops. These oversized hand-pattied burgers are started on the char-grill and finished with a light smash on the flat top. Cooked to order. Cooked to your specifications.

I went with the bacon/cheese, which is also topped with jalapenos, bbq sauce and thick onion rings. The toasted brioche bun is bakery soft, but still substantial enough to comfortably hold the heft of the sandwich.

The meat on it’s own has a superb beef taste, and I watched the cooks diligently checking the temps of the patty to make sure it came up to standards.

The fries? Superb. Fresh cut, fried until crispy, properly seasoned. I get so bummed going to a restaurant that uses extruded fries, that mashed potato slurry in the shape of a fry doused with secret seasoning. I know they’re inexpensive for the operator and fry fast, but come on!

These babies taste like potatoes! Have the texture of potatoes! Because they are potatoes!

I WILL be back, and I am eager to try other menu items, including their breakfasts!

The restaurant is on Alqonquin Road/62, just across Roselle from Harper College. Attached to the BP gas station.

Go. Enjoy. The restaurant has eight locations in Chicagoland. Check out their full menu.
