    two burgers and french fries
    Jen K.

    A welcome suprise! While doing Door Dash, I needed to stop for gas. At the pump, they were advertising the Urban Counter, which is part of the Mobile station. Rather than going to McDonald's, I took a chance, and it was amazing! Everything is made to order, I think. I had mini cheese burgers with catsup and lettuce, which are a great size! I ordered the regular handcut fries and a chocolate / strawberry shake, which is made with real ice cream. If you are in the Wheaton area, I would recommend stopping in! The prices are reasonable and the customer service is amazing!

    This quick serve restaurant is attached to a gas station. It's honestly the best gas station restaurant I've been to. The 1/2 lb burgers are gigantic and cooked how you want them prepared. I couldn't finish mine! They also offer mini sandwiches which I thought would be really small but someone else got that and 1 or 2 mini sandwiches would have been perfect for me. I would probably get that next time since a 1/2 lb is too much. My fiancé likes his burger but mentioned some of the bacon didn't taste fresh on it. For our side we split the tator tots, they were cooked perfectly and a perfect size to share or eat alone. The speed was appropriate and the staff were friendly. We also enjoyed a vanilla milkshake. Again a great portion size. The consistency was dead on, it wasn't too thick where you can't drink it through a straw but it wasn't cold milk either! Overall they are about the same price as portillos and give you a lot of food for it. Everything was good quality. Great restaurant for being attached to a gas station. My only complaint is that all the tables needed to be wiped down in their seating area when we visited.

    Bacon cheeseburger
    Brett S.

    Stop eating at every other hamburger joint in the suburbs and start eating at this joint. Five Guys, Portillos, they have decent burgers, Urban Counter has some of the best hamburgers I've ever indulged in. I like my burgers like I like my women, thick and juicy and they delivered. A nice half pound burger I ordered was the Bacon burger, I don't usually order my burgers the way this one was topped but this was f-ing phenomenonal. Bacon, onion rings and a sweet tangy BBQ sauce and jalapenos, I'm usually a strict burger traditionalist but this was fantastic. The fries are real much like you'd get at Gene and Judes. This place deserves your business, they deserve to succeed because their burgers are delicious. Places that have delicious food deserve to have loyal repeat customers who keep them in business and keep us happy.

    I visited on Saturday January 28th around noon! The food was inedible and not cooked. They added mayo to the hot dog and also the fries are supposed to be fresh cut but where from a freezer bag.

    Breakfast Burrito no bacon
    Jessica B.

    I forgot about this place for awhile. Got some breakfast burritos to-go. They were fantastic and the perfect size. I got mine with no bacon bc I can just be weird about bacon in things sometimes if not crispy. Dave took a bite of mine and actually liked it better than the bacon one. I recommend calling it in if you are in a rush. Food here is made to order which is great but obviously means it takes a little more time. Still just shocked we can get such fresh and tasty food from a gas station ha.

    Ordered a Chicago style hot dog and a salad, but the hot dog was delivered to me plain. Plus the hot dog was a grey dull color and cold , like it had been sitting on a shelf somewhere for hours

    Bacon BBQ burger with a jalapeño kick and a fattening shake.
    Ken D.

    Had a great lunch here , made fresh and great service. Location is odd but go for it. Gonna try the breakfast burrito next time.

    Hard to believe how good that meal was! I had the Southwest salad with grilled chicken. Literally saw them out the chicken on the grill. Fresh and delicious! The homemade dressing was spicy and wonderful! My husband had the Polish sausage. It snapped when he bit into it...and the caramelized onions, spicy brown mustard, and poppy seed bun were outstanding. And the fries...oh my! Because everything is made fresh and to order, don't expect fast food speed. But it is truly worth the wait!

    Asthetically pleasing in presentation. Great addition to the Geneva area. I was surprised at the s'mores mousse I thought it would be more of a chocolate-flavor but I picked up a fruity taste to it.

    Blue cheese burger with bacon jam and arugula
    Linda B.

    Nothing I can really say that hasn't been said already. I had the blue cheese burger, and it seriously was one of the best burgers I have ever had. Husband had the classic - same perfection! Can't wait to go back. And so glad my "best burger in DuPage" Google search brought me to Yelp! and Urban Counter. I can't tell you how many times I driven through this intersection, and never saw this little gem. This will definitely be a regular.

    This place is next to a gas station but don't let that fool you the food is amazing. The bacon burger I had yesterday was delicious it made me want to come back today for breakfast. Hands down this place has the best burgers in town. If you are looking for a reasonably priced place with great burgers give the Urban Counter a try they won't disappoint.

Their fries are good, and actually stand out more than the burger. Everything is overpriced. I don't know why people complain about the wait; do some research like a responsible adult. I never just walk into a place and expect to be immediately seated, I call first - like anyone who has some sense. If they tell you the wait is 2 hours and you have 2 hours to kill, there are a bunch of bars in the area where you can have some drinks and an appetizer (and not feel like you're stiffing Au Cheval; they're the ones with the 2 hour wait, what do they expect people to do?) Not much to say about the decor or ambience; it's a typically loud West Loop bar with mostly 20 - 30 somethings all trying to one-up each other with their trendiness that instead makes them all basically clones of each other. It is crowded, and you're a moron if you think any place like this is suitable for your 5 year old. That's not the restaurant's fault - it's not Chuck E Cheese. Often I wish Yelp offered a 1/2 star option, because there are places that are a 4.5 or a 3.5. Not in this case. 3 stars is spot-on.

For drinks, I tried the lychee mojito -- it was strong but had really good flavor and was enjoyable. For an appetizer, we got the pretzels.

My fries just needed a tad bit of salt, but the burger itself was cooked well (I asked for medium). The flavors were good, and the honey running down actually worked well with everything. Our waiter was also really good and provided solid service. Overall, a great experience -- will be back.

Today we ordered a maple bacon milkshake, peanut butter milkshake, 1/4 pound grilled cheese burger on toast, 1/2 pound New Orleans burger and a shareable basket of parmesan truffle fries. Let's start with the positives, the shakes were well made and not overwhelmingly sweet and we liked that a lot. My husband's 1/2 pound burger seemed a little small and my grilled cheese burger said it would be on Texas toast but it seemed like it was sourdough bread and not really thick cut like Texas toast should be. I was looking forward to eating here because the pictures of the fries online looked long and thick cut, the basket of fries we got didn't look like that at all and lacked Parmesan cheese. The negative experience was the fact the water tasted weird. I took one sip and tasted a weird chemical taste but my husband and I didn't complain, we just paid and left. I don't know if it was the water or the cup but it definitely had a weird taste. Overall, the experience was ok. I think we had higher expectations seeing all the pictures online. The name of the place threw us both off because we thought it was a Latino owned burger joint with a Mexican twist but that wasn't the case at all.
