    The Glazed Burger
    Alvin B.

    Who would've thought of getting a meal at a gas station? I certainly didn't. But my coworkers insisted on getting this for lunch, and, I'm glad I tried this place out! Tucked away on one side of a BP gas station, this place has some unique burger combinations, as well as salads, hot dogs and other kinds of sandwiches. I ordered the glazed burger with onion rings. The glazed burger comes with a steak burger, fried egg, caramelized onions, aged cheddar cheese, ketchup and a Korean style glaze all on a brioche bun. It was very delicious - fresh and made to order! The burger was a bit bigger than I expected so I had to cut mine in half. The Korean style glaze was a bit sweet and tangy; it overpowered the other flavors of the burger, but not by much. The onion rings were alright. A little bland, but the batter was just right enough to give it a good, crispy bite. Overall, I was impressed! I would definitely come back here and try out their other burgers.

    Urban Counter is a hidden gem located inside a BP off Farnsworth in Aurora. It has a very hip decor and adds to the solid gas station's portfolio of offerings. The staff is quite friendly and walks new customers through the options. Everything is grilled fresh to order - you can taste the difference. Many things looked good, but the daily special was buy 1, get 1 mini burgers. It was under $5 for 2 minis, regular fries and regular drink. Awesome value. The burger was remarkable - just a little ball of flavor. The grilled chicken mini was equally impressive. It was juicy, well seasoned and hot off the grill. Fries grew on me, but needed some salt and a little more time in the fryer. I would visit much more often, but will have to settle for occasional visits to this wonderful, fresh, fast food solution

    Bleu Cheese Burger
    Shevon R.

    Wait a minute, burgers at a gas station? That's right, peeps, a yummy burger cooked to order at a gas station. Or maybe you're hungry for a salad or a grilled chicken sandwich, they've got it. Urban Counter is located inside the BP gas station. I had a Bleu Cheese Burger. It was cooked to order. I think it was a 1/2 pounder, but not quite sure. It was topped with bleu cheese, a bacon jam, and arugula, on a brioche bun! It was one of the better burgers I've had in a while. The sweet potato fries were delicious as well. On this visit, the regular fries were just okay. I would stick with the sweet potatoes. We did have a problem with one burger being raw on the inside. It was put on the grill after the others, but removed at the same time. The staff was very apologetic and the young man that cooked it came to our table later and said that he just wanted to apologize again for the burger and was very gracious. We were very happy with the customer service and food. I'll be back. Prices were pretty reasonable as well. A meal of a burger, fries, and a drink was less than $10. Not bad. I can truly say this beats any gas station hot dog sitting on a roller for 12 hours!

    Overcooked meat , blackish bun
    Melih B.

    That was the worst hamburger I've eaten in my life. I asked for medium/well cooked , it came overcooked and buns were almost burned , black. I'll not talk about the ordering process which took 10 minutes including several refunds etc. Long story short do not be deceived by high rating. They are not good. I should have eaten at Mc Donald's cross by.

    Overcooked burger
    Anthony M.

    I would give zero stars if I could. Came here with family after checking out the great yelp reviews. Not sure if those are real reviews or this place has gone down hill. I knew it was going to bad experience from the beginning when I had to wave the cook over off his perch in the little back room. Where do I begin. I ordered a bacon cheese burger, cooked medium, and an order of fries. My wife ordered a veggie wrap, and added a grilled cheese for my daughter. It took exactly min to get my food! Two more people came in and ordered after us. That's when these two cooks got lost. They try cooking ask three orders at the same time. After waiting 30 min, they finally brought out our food. Naturally I didn't receive my fries. Went back up and told them. They said they would bring then out. Took a bite of my burger, it was completely overcooked. If your going to ask how you want your burger cooked, you better be able to get close or your setting yourself up to disappoint customers. Took a few more bites and refused to eat anymore. My wife said the veggie wrap was good, but it's pretty hard to mess up rolling veggies in a spinach burrito. So your safe with that if you're stuck eating here. My daughter's grilled cheese was black. The cheese wasn't even melted. How do you mess up a grilled cheese? Waited for my wife to finish her wrap, and then we left. I'm still waiting for them to bring me my fries.

    Two classic cheeseburgers

    So gas station food is never a good idea, right??? Wrong!!!! I really wish this was disconnected from the BP completely, at least a wall. No one believes when you try to tell them the BP on the corner has the best food. Anyway, this is my little brothers favorite place ever. What'd he want for his birthday dinner? Urban counter!! So finally, I was able to try. The hype is real. The burgers are made fresh and I highly suggest you call to order ahead and make sure they are open. The classic cheeseburger with jalepenos well done was delicious. Burgers are really thick, pickle slices on bottom, topped with cheese, tomato, and onion. Fries are pretty delicious! The standards of gas stations are blown out the window here. The entire place is extremely clean but also top of the line.

    This is what they think well done with no pink looks like!

    I've been here twice, once this past fall, and the other just last week - it was great both times!…read more This most recent time I was there with a group of teachers, having pre-comedy show lunch & drinks, and everyone (there were 6) loved their food, and really enjoyed their drink options. Our server was fab, super friendly and quick (shout-out to Brody!), and had great suggestions from his menu faves. The previous time I came was post-comedy show, just for drinks, and the 3 of us all enjoyed our drinks then, as well. I also love the decor vibe, especially as a (elder) millennial, because MJ IS the GOAT. Stop by and try it, definitely worth a shot!

    We stopped in on a Friday night and this place was crowded! We were told there would be about a 20…read moreminute wait but we were fortunate to be seated in 5 minutes. We were greeted by Ian our server immediately which was very nice. We noticed they have Happy Hour Tues-Fri from 4-6pm so we took advantage of their half off cocktails and a few food specials. I had the Wisconsin Old Fashion and my wife had the Poli Old Fashion which was tequila based. Both were fantastic! We started with an order of their Street Corn Deviled Eggs which were amazing..super creamy. They do have a GF menu so my wife had a bowl of their homemade chili and I had their Italian Beef Bao trio. Both were delicious and very meaty. They have an extension whiskey/bourbon list plus their burgers looked amazing. We will definitely be back!
