An update on The Counter San Mateo: Our lease ended in early January however we plan on reopening very shortly with another location in San Mateo. To begin with this will be for take-out and delivery only. Stay tuned for more information as we get closer.

In the meantime, thank you to all of the wonderful guests we have served at the Hillsdale location over the last ten years. And thank you for voting us the best burger in the Bay Area on A-List 12 years in a row.

We look forward to seeing you in San Mateo again soon.
