We haven’t been this excited since The Counter opened its first OC restaurant in Irvine a few years ago! On Monday, The Counter Newport Beach will officially open, and the gourmet burger joint is offering more than 300,000 possible combinations, no kidding! You’re creative, so you’ll want to “Build Your Own Burger” option, just grab a clipboard and check off what you want.
Choose from fresh Angus beef, turkey, grilled chicken or house-made veggie in different sizes, 12 cheeses, 33 toppings, 21 unique sauces and four types of buns. Complement your custom burger with French fries, crispy fried onion rings, our favorite sweet potato fries, chili, and more. There’s a full bar and well-edited selection of handcrafted beer and wine.
Be the first to create (and devour) a custom gourmet burger! The Counter is hosting a pre-opening charity event Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. (lunch) and 5:30 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. (dinner). 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Orange County Chapter of the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance (TSA).
Open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday to Thursday; 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
The Counter is in Westcliff Plaza, 1104 Irvine Avenue, Newport Beach. 949.642.0700.
