The buzz around Pleasant Counter often centers on their signature items—the grass-fed burgers and beef tallow fries. Diners rave about the Double Smashburger, characterized by its juicy texture and perfectly balanced toppings. The house-made pickles add an unexpected yet complementary crunch, elevating the flavor profile.

Many patrons also highlight the unique offerings like the Organic Sourdough Fried Pie, making it a must-try for those looking to satisfy their sweet tooth!
Most Disliked
While Pleasant Counter garners high praise, some diners express desires for a broader menu variety. A few customers have noted that they would appreciate more options beyond the featured items, particularly for dessert. Although they do offer one dessert, expanding this side of the menu could enhance the experience for those with a sweet tooth looking for a full range of treats.
Occasionally, patrons mention that peak hours can lead to longer wait times due to the popularity of the restaurant. While this speaks to their quality, it’s worth noting that planning around busy times or calling ahead can smooth the dining experience. Also, families with young children may find it slightly crowded during lunch, potentially impacting the comfort level.

We absolutely loved it here! Best burger with house made pickles and mayo, grassfed beef and local ingredients. I got a gluten free bun and it was very good! Very soft, not dry at all. We loved the tallow fries! The waitress was so sweet and friendly. We loved the fresh milk too! We will love to come back!

Believe the hype. I am a burger snob and this place is top 3 burger of all time. Grass fed burgers are not easy to make well but mine was perfect and the accoutrements were excellent. The beef tallow fries were the best I’ve had since duck fat fries in France. I spoke to one of the owners (maybe) and she told me more about the farm to table ingredients they use here including the grass fed beef tallow. If you value healthy real comfort food this is a must try.

Farm to table. Food is super good. Everyone is very friendly. Everything is very clean. Atmosphere is great. They will even put a Fried Egg on your burger, if you ask for it!

This establishment has so much going for it. One of the only places I can eat fried food and not feel like crap. Fries and other fried items are cooked in healthier beef tallow and not unhealthy seed oils. A rare gem that doesn’t compromise taste for health!

A local comfort food restaurant that is really good and fresh. It's a pretty simple menu, I tried the double smasher burger and really enjoyed it it didn't take long to come and was fresh and not overly processed like most quick burgers. The fries really good too especially if you like the fresh cut potato style. I also tried a chocolate pie and really enjoyed it.

If the blue cheese burger is on, GET IT! This place is a gem. Locally sourced and healthy, tallow fries, RAW milk!

10 out of 10! Everything was so good. We had the chicken sandwich and a cheese burger and fries and the peach and strawberry fried pies. My husband thought the fried pies could have been fried just a touch less but I thought they were great. Very friendly and attentive service too. We also got some fresh salsa and a beautiful little piece of pottery they had for sale from some locals.
