Before going, I looked at their menu online and decided pretty much what the toddler and I would get. Since I knew that my friend's toddler would get his own meal, I knew that meant I had to order my toddler his own meal as well. I wanted the toddler to get something he would like, but I also didn't want to waste a lot of food.
The toddler got the mini burgers with french fries from the kids' menu. Tons of french fries, no?!!

I got the side salad with sun dried tomato vinaigrette on the side. The salad was basic but good. The toddler ate one of the tomato slices.

When we told hubby and the teenager that we had gone to The Counter without them, they weren't very happy. They both pointed out that I always say no to burger places... So I see a family outing to The Counter in our future... Not sure how healthy hubby and the teenager will keep it...
Questions: What are your strategies at burger places? Do you get it "all?" Do you split an order? When we were there, we actually saw a group of four girls split an order of sweet potato fries and two hamburgers. The cook had cut the burgers in half and served them on separate plates. I thought splitting fries and a burger was an excellent strategy to keep it healthier. Plus it saves money!
Be well,
