Burger joints are the swinging doors of the restaurant business: they open and close so often it’s almost impossible to keep up.
But hope—and hamburgers—spring eternal, and coming later this year to theGardens Mall in Palm Beach Gardens will be The Counter, a burger-centric eatery with franchises in nine states and four foreign countries, as close as Aventura and as far away as Saudi Arabia.
Like all of these upscale burger joints, The Counter boasts about its locally source and sustainable ingredients, its all-natural beef (Angus, in this case). And it offers both a roster of house burgers, from a classic cheddar and LTO to Korean BBQ, plus bison, turkey, chicken and veggie patties. If you’re a DIY sort, you can build your own burger by choosing from more than a dozen cheeses, sauces and toppings, along with assorted different buns and sides.
Also on the menu are various appetizers, salads and sandwiches (including DIY grilled cheese), also a lengthy list of cocktails, wines, craft beers, and adult and kiddie shakes. If the Aventura Counter is any indication, the local outlet will boast a sleek contemporary look, with tall industrial-style ceilings, a cool gray-and-white color scheme with blond wood accents, and white leather banquettes.
Oh, and those burger doors swinging shut? Both Chuck Burger and CG Burgers in PBG are long gone.
