Great little neighborhood eatery serving made-to-order smash burgers, sandwiches and subs. Big selection of ice cream and ice cream treats as well. Friendly staff and very clean dining room.

I went there for the first time today to get dinner and the sandwich is delicious. It is probably the juiciest chicken. I think I’ve ever had the fries the regular. I thought there wouldn’t be a lot, but it fills up my whole plate and honestly, it was just a really really nice restaurant like really cool people are really cool vibes Definitely will be back again

I loved stopping in here and grabbing a smash burger. The burger was delicious! As were the fries. I got a side of ranch as well which was perfect for the fries. They also have a variety of ice cream desserts like milkshakes and banana splits with Perry’s ice cream. While you’re waiting for your food to dine in or take out, take a glance diagonally across the street. They have a doggy day care and you can see the cute dogs in the fenced in yard.

Stopped in for the first time a couple of weekends ago with my parents. We all got a single smash burger and within the first bite we knew this place would be a go-to for their future visits. Fortunately unfortunately for me, I'm local. Stopped in today before work to get food for work. A single smash for breaky and a whole sub for throughout the night. Yall...I apparently didn't know what I was getting myself into. They don't do "normal" whole subs. This thing is absolutely massive. Half of it is almost a full "normal." And it is loaded. I had to look at it, so naturally I had to take a few bites. This place is just straight up The food is amazing, the staff is super nice. The atmosphere is adorably comfortable. The only thing I'm not so sure about is the shakes. I got one and it is a lot thinner than I was expecting. I don't know if that's just because I was brought up on thick shakes? But everything else is Oh and the did cut the halves in half, so that's nice. I included a picture of one of the halves next to the smash and my hand is roughly the size of a samsung note 10 for scale purposes.

I have heard nothing but good things about The Kitchen Counter, I have driven by more times than I can count and seen the parking lot full, today I finally got it to try for myself. I got a double smash burger and the fried chicken sandy. The burger was great, everything about it, especially for the price. The chicken sandy? Absolutely out of this world. I could tell it was going to be amazing the second my teeth hit the breading. I love that they use thigh meat and that it's a simple sandwich, but it's simple done right. The folks inside are cheerful and pleasant even while hustling to keep up with orders. I can't say enough good things about this fantastic local establishment, I will be back again and again and again!

The Kitchen Counter. Today, I tried the Kickin Chicken Sandy on French bread instead of the sesame roll. Chicken was cooked perfectly with a wonderful crunch. The Dill Chipotle ranch adds just the right amount of heat. You definitely get your money's worth with this sandwich. I also tried the regular size onion rings. Deep fried perfectly with a wonderful crunch to them. I added a gingerbread milkshake, great flavor with pieces of gingerbread, and even a candy cane. They also serve Perry's ice cream. They have a variety of sandwiches and subs, something for everyone. And a nice area for sitting during the spring and summer. It's definitely worth a try for some good food.
