    AC Veggie
    Isabella S.

    Food and Service were amazing! Has vegetarian options. Great option for hungry travelers!

    Menu

    WOW did this place hit the spot! Was starving on a road trip and needed something quick and this lovely hole in the wall was absolutely perfect. I was immediately greeted by friendly faces. Order was taken, chips and salsa brought out a few seconds later, and fresh hot food brought out within 10 minutes. I got the ACP Azteca + refried beans. Some of the best Mexican I've had!

I stopped into this local restaurant/bar the other day to celebrate my birthday after an appointment, and what started as a really great afternoon turned into one of the most uncomfortable experiences I've ever had. I arrived a little after 3 PM, ordered some drinks, and was enjoying myself with no issues. Around 5 PM, the owner arrived with her parents. The owner's mother walked up to me, poked me, and told me I needed to move because that was "her friend's seat" and they "always sit there." She hovered behind me, gripping the back of my chair and repeating things like, "I'm 87 years old and I have never..." without ever explaining what she meant. The whole interaction was intrusive, disrespectful, and honestly shocking. A kind woman I had met earlier went to speak with the owner. When the owner/manger came over, she explained that the woman was her mother and that they were "dealing with family stuff," as if that excused what had happened. Being told that the behavior was essentially excusable because it came from her own family made the situation feel even worse. She offered to pay for my meal or try to fix the situation, but after being poked, pressured, and essentially told that my presence didn't matter compared to their "regulars" made me feel unwelcome and even unsafe. I chose to pay my own tab and leave rather than sit there after being disrespected and physically touched by a stranger. It's disappointing, because the atmosphere and staff seemed great at first. But no customer should ever be treated like that--birthday or not--and personal family issues do not justify disrespecting or touching a guest. I hope they address this behavior in the future, because no one should have their experience ruined the way mine was.

    Here's a more natural **Google review** version:…read more Service was the biggest issue here. One of the young ladies was very off-putting -- not rude, just not welcoming. The pancake tacos felt gimmicky and didn't hold together well, so I ended up cutting them up on my plate. They didn't taste bad, but the taco stands were silly. A 97 score isn't terrible, but it's not especially impressive either. Overall, the service killed the experience for me, and I won't be back.

    This was my first visit to the Counter. We arrived in time for their lunch menu, and there was lots…read moreto choose from. This place has great black and white decor, with lots of plants. Makes it feel very welcoming. We tried two of the sandwiches, the Americano, which had house roasted roast beef, caramelized onions, mushrooms, aoli dressing. So delicious. The bread is really soft too. You get a choice of chips or potato salad, also house made. Potato salad is very good, not at all mayonnaise overpowering or gummy. The other sandwich was the South of Philly Cheesesteak. Shaved meat with cheddar cheese. Very, very good. The Counter has a small area of seats from front to back plus a little area outside to sit. They are located between stores in a strip mall, but easy to find. Next time, I'll have to try their breakfast menu, as I can tell from the other reviews that they are large and tasty.
