Daily Specials! Monday $2 breakfast burrito is the best breakfast deal and quality of burrito around the area. Tuesday 2 for 1 mini burger special is the perfect last minute meal when not sure where to go. Definitely not McDonald's, Burger King , Wendy's, or Culver's !!!! Only issue was that the fries were not freshly cooked. And mini-burgers means mini. 2 oz becomes 1. Half pound 8 oz. burger much better. read more

Urban Counter - Daily Specials! Monday $2 breakfast burrito is the best breakfast deal and quality of burrito around the area. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

Waited almost 10 minutes for a hot dog. That's all, just a hot dog. Stale, hard bun. For over $4. Wish I had known. Nice kid at the drive thru but that's about all I can give them credit for. read more

Urban Counter - Chicago dog - terrible - Hot Dogs Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

Recently tried the breakfast burrito and hash browns. The latter kind of threw me, as I was not expecting a fried hash brown patty like McDonald's serves. The way it was listed on the menu made my husband and I expect shredded hash browns, so lesson learned. As for the burrito, it was delicious! The bacon was crispy which we like. Will definitely have the breakfast burrito again, but I'd probably order tator tots instead of the hash browns. Also, the woman taking our order could have been more personable. read more

Went here for lunch today. My wrap tasted like straight cigarettes. I am not a picky eater and this is one of the worst things I have ever had. Took one bite and had to throw it away. Fries were soaked with oil. Service was amazing, nothing on them. Just don't come here for food. read more

A welcome suprise! While doing Door Dash, I needed to stop for gas. At the pump, they were advertising the Urban Counter, which is part of the Mobile station. Rather than going to McDonald's, I took a chance, and it was amazing! Everything is made to order, I think. I had mini cheese burgers with catsup and lettuce, which are a great size! I ordered the regular handcut fries and a chocolate / strawberry shake, which is made with real ice cream. If you are in the Wheaton area, I would recommend stopping in! The prices are reasonable and the customer service is amazing! read more

This quick serve restaurant is attached to a gas station. It's honestly the best gas station restaurant I've been to. The 1/2 lb burgers are gigantic and cooked how you want them prepared. I couldn't finish mine! They also offer mini sandwiches which I thought would be really small but someone else got that and 1 or 2 mini sandwiches would have been perfect for me. I would probably get that next time since a 1/2 lb is too much. My fiancé likes his burger but mentioned some of the bacon didn't taste fresh on it. For our side we split the tator tots, they were cooked perfectly and a perfect size to share or eat alone. The speed was appropriate and the staff were friendly. We also enjoyed a vanilla milkshake. Again a great portion size. The consistency was dead on, it wasn't too thick where you can't drink it through a straw but it wasn't cold milk either! Overall they are about the same price as portillos and give you a lot of food for it. Everything was good quality. Great restaurant for being attached to a gas station. My only complaint is that all the tables needed to be wiped down in their seating area when we visited. read more

Urban Counter - Vanilla milkshake - Hot Dogs Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

Stop eating at every other hamburger joint in the suburbs and start eating at this joint. Five Guys, Portillos, they have decent burgers, Urban Counter has some of the best hamburgers I've ever indulged in. I like my burgers like I like my women, thick and juicy and they delivered. A nice half pound burger I ordered was the Bacon burger, I don't usually order my burgers the way this one was topped but this was f-ing phenomenonal. Bacon, onion rings and a sweet tangy BBQ sauce and jalapenos, I'm usually a strict burger traditionalist but this was fantastic. The fries are real much like you'd get at Gene and Judes. This place deserves your business, they deserve to succeed because their burgers are delicious. Places that have delicious food deserve to have loyal repeat customers who keep them in business and keep us happy. read more

Urban Counter - Bacon cheeseburger - Hot Dogs Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

I forgot about this place for awhile. Got some breakfast burritos to-go. They were fantastic and the perfect size. I got mine with no bacon bc I can just be weird about bacon in things sometimes if not crispy. Dave took a bite of mine and actually liked it better than the bacon one. I recommend calling it in if you are in a rush. Food here is made to order which is great but obviously means it takes a little more time. Still just shocked we can get such fresh and tasty food from a gas station ha. read more

After placing my order on my second visit to Urban Counter I was sitting at another counter waiting for my order. The manager was preparing it and he asked if we had ever been there before. I said yes but a long time ago. He was preparing a burger for me and asked if I had ever had one of their burgers. I had not and he told me that he makes the best burgers in the area. I found this entertaining because that is a mega huge claim to make. I said "great" in a way to humor him and when our order was ready we took it home to eat. Much to my shock, surprise and other great emotions the guy was right! I said to my wife, we did just buy this at a restaurant located inside a gas station, right? The manager was correct, it was one of the best burgers I have ever had in my life. They have three specialty burgers, this one was the Blue Cheese burger. It was prepared on a fresh brioche bun with Steak burger patty, blue cheese, bacon spread and arugula. Yeah, as I said, one of the best ever. Definitely one of the top 5 in the area. Last night we returned and I had the Bacon Burger. It has a Steak burger patty, cheddar cheese, onion rings, roasted jalapeno, grilled bacon, BBQ sauce, and brioche bun. All for only $6.79. My wife ordered a couple of their sliders ($1.89) and we also had an order of fries. My burger was outstanding and as good as the burger I had on my previous trip. My wife's sliders were awesome as well. The fries are cooked to perfection and really good. It is not all praise however. On this trip the manager was on the crabby side which I did not appreciate. I fueled that partly with my not being able to understand his question. He had a radio on in the kitchen blasting music. That along with the cooking notice I could not hear him. On both visits, although the food was fantastic, it was overcooked. He always asks how you want it and we always say medium but it always ends up well done. If you order soda he gives you empty cups and you have to walk over to the gas station to fill them. These are minor negatives however and I really love this place. I am a huge fan and plan to return regularly. read more

I really liked the flavor of the Tuna and the way it was put together topping it with the Swiss cheese, pickle, tomato and red onion. There is so much to choose from and I like that it tastes homemade. I only wished they were open for dinner read more

This review is completely based on the service. I have not even tried the food yet. My parents and I stopped in here on a Sunday morning a little after 11 - which is when they open. When we arrived, the man working the counter told us that they could not serve us anything fried (French fries, onion rings, etc) because they had to clean the frier. Something that really should be done before your doors are open. In addition, when we asked about the breakfast menu, he rudely told us that they do not serve breakfast on Sundays. Overall, my first impression of this restaurant is not good. read more

Had a great lunch here , made fresh and great service. Location is odd but go for it. Gonna try the breakfast burrito next time. read more

Urban Counter - Bacon BBQ burger with a jalapeño kick and a fattening shake. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

Who knew a Mobil station could hide such a great burger shop. Their hand formed burgers are huge! They even ask how you would like them prepped (medium of course). The blue cheese burger was fantastic with just the right amount of bacon spread. The guys at the counter were super friendly and very attentive. I'd say this place rivals any of the best out there at a fraction of the price. Will definitely return on the next trip to Wheaton. read more

Hard to believe how good that meal was! I had the Southwest salad with grilled chicken. Literally saw them out the chicken on the grill. Fresh and delicious! The homemade dressing was spicy and wonderful! My husband had the Polish sausage. It snapped when he bit into it...and the caramelized onions, spicy brown mustard, and poppy seed bun were outstanding. And the fries...oh my! Because everything is made fresh and to order, don't expect fast food speed. But it is truly worth the wait! read more

This is the first review I've ever done while still sitting in the restaurant. While Yelp sometimes get a bad rap, I wouldn't have found this place without it...so thanks to all the other reviews. I wanted a sampling of a regular burger and turkey burger (I'm a sucker for a good turkey burger). I ordered a mini classic and mini turkey burger. When I say these burgers were tops -- I'm not kidding. The classic was done just right and the turkey was probably the best I've ever had. The only problem is that I really want to try another one. Employees were also very nice and they have a 50% discount for the policeman in front of me. One of those places that I wish they had at home. read more

You might be fooled cuz it's in a gas station but their food was real good I was pretty impressed very good customer service

Walk-In guests, stay clear of this joint. This place has done nothing but go down the pits of hell when it comes to customer service. I've tried to visit 3x in the last month around 11:30AM. Each time I arrive they have zero customers waiting in the store for food. They have zero customers eating inside. However they tell me each time as I enter, it will be (on average) more than 30 minutes till they can make my order. They say its due to call-in orders. They need to figure out how to manage walk-in's with their phone orders. If you have a customer walking in on off the street they deserve some priority since they are there now. I've been to several places that take online orders as well as call in orders and they always give some priority to a walk-in. I was once a loyal customer that took my family to this location often and frequented myself about twice a month. I will never step foot in the door again, I will find a new burger joint. I will not be fooled into waiting 30 minutes for a burger. I warn any future customers to stay clear of the poor customer service you will come to learn if you haven't placed a phone order. read more

Asthetically pleasing in presentation. Great addition to the Geneva area. I was surprised at the s'mores mousse I thought it would be more of a chocolate-flavor but I picked up a fruity taste to it. read more

Nothing I can really say that hasn't been said already. I had the blue cheese burger, and it seriously was one of the best burgers I have ever had. Husband had the classic - same perfection! Can't wait to go back. And so glad my "best burger in DuPage" Google search brought me to Yelp! and Urban Counter. I can't tell you how many times I driven through this intersection, and never saw this little gem. This will definitely be a regular. read more

Urban Counter - Sliders - Hot Dogs Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

I accidentally tried this place. I came into the gas station looking for either Gatorade or a Diet Coke... And then decided to try the Urban Counter. Had the blue cheeseburger... It was phenomenal!!! All the flavors worked together... The burger... The blue cheese... The freshly made bacon spread... and the specialty lettuce! Will definitely come back. Best burger that I have had in over a year. Cost for the meal... Drink fries and burger was around nine dollars. Well worth it! On a side note... The customer service was great. The cook... His name is John Wayne... Was very personable and friendly. He felt that the first set of fries that were given to me did not look the best... So he made me up a fresh batch! Don't let its location next to a gas station deter you. I am going to try breakfast there next. read more

I went here a couple weeks ago for a late lunch takeout (1:45pm). The place is attached to a gas station, but has it's own entrance also. It has a few tables between the entrance and the gas station shopping side. I walked up to the counter to see the menu and order. There was no own around and after a minute or 2 wait, i walk back to the gas station where I had seen somebody wiping down a table when I walked in. This person was gone, so I returned to the counter and called out. 3 workers in there late teens to early 20's appeared from the back. I ordered a BBQ/bacon burger and got is with the fries and drink to go. I was asked how I wanted the burger cooked and replied medium rare. The one female working began by putting a bun one the grill top and then put a burger patty on too. She took the bun off after it had grill marks and put it on the work area. She let the burger sit on the grill and the grease from it caused the fire to rise up and engulf the burger. After watching this for a minute or so, I complained saying I wanted the burger medium rare not burned on the outside. The guy who took my order stepped in and said it was to get grill mark on the burger. Okay, that I don't mind, but check out the pictures to see if that was what I got (sorry can't find how to upload the photos I took of the meal). He removed the burger from the grill and then steamed it on the flat top with water and a cover. The female cooked the fries and the onion ring for the burger. When she finished and was packing up the fries, she dropped a 1/3rd of them on the floor. She didn't even flinch or offer to cook more, just put what was left in the bag. With the burger and fries in the bag, she put them on the counter and said here is your stuff. I said it wasn't done. The guy then said, it is your order. I said it is missing my drink. The female walked over to the fountain without asking what flavor I wanted. She finally turned around to ask and I said Coke but no ice please. She immediately picks up the ice scoop and puts ice in the glass. I repeated my request and finally got it the way I ordered it. I took the burger home to eat. The burger was cooked well on the outside (burned by the fire) and brown not pink on the inside. It was a decent portion, but was not very good. The onion ring was hard and crispy and the fries were good but missing the rest on the floor of the restaurant. The customer service experience was horrible. Nobody out front when I arrived. Not paying attention to the food cooking or listening to the order. A 4th person arrived and appeared to be the manger/owner's son. While he joked with the staff, he was counting the money in the register. He ignored the exchanges by the workers with me and no one apologized for the delay or quality of the food. read more

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. read more

Seriously, a joke??? A gas station restaurant with the most amazing chicken breast, avacado, sandwich, perfectly seasoned,anything you want anytime, whoa!!! So good, so simple to negotiate, well, actually the extensive menu may give you pause, if you're like me, just point, it'll be great. Mary is a great leader/ chef. Employees,couldn't be more delightful, love eating in a place where people obviously love what they're doing. read more

Waited 15 minutes in the drive thru for 2 chili dogs, fries, and a chocolate shake on a Saturday afternoon. I was the only drive thru customer. No apology or any mention of the long wait when my order was finally handed to me. The shake was completely liquefied when I got home 10 minutes later. Must have been pre-made and just sitting there in the fridge before I ordered. Disgusting. read more

I just experienced the drive thru and am soooo disappointed. Pls skip it all together. You need to call orders ahead or just be prepared to wait for a longggg time. I waited 35 mins for my order while waiting in the car with hungry kids and, once I got it, order was wrong! Two stars because my turkey burger was good. Also, no mention of the specials -Tuesday but one mini burger get one free - I bought 3. read more

One of the weirdest little gems ever. Who would think a gas station restaurant would have incredible burgers?? The wait was long. From what we saw there were only 2 people. There is a hiring sign so if waiting is a problem than yes go elsewhere. But if you decide to wait the extra time you'll have some incredible food. I had 3 mini burgers (steak burger/grilled chicken/fried chicken) my brother had a huge turkey burger. All came out hot and delicious and tasted quality. Couldn't believe it. Will absolutely be back to try other items. The service was also good. The guys were helpful and polite. read more

I ordered 2 hotdogs with fries, food was made to order and AWESOME. The chef was super nice, good guy! Thanks!

Terrible. The only reason this place has high marks is because it's in a gas station and it's better than people expected. The price is too high for what you're getting, and every time I've been here the food has been subpar. By far the most overrated place in the area. read more

My wife was really wanting a hot dog...a quick, simple hot dog. So I reviewed on Yelp...found this restaurant. Loaded up the address and of we went...should have known better when I saw it was part of the gas station...but...I tried anyway. Made simple order of Chicago- style hot dog meal and a Italian sausage for me. Not exactly super clean in the kitchen area to start with. A young girl took my order, handed me a cup and said to go fill your drink in the gas station area...? Ok...on way back, another girl came up and asked me about ordering the Italian beef? Said not my order, repeated that it was sausage and hot dog meal. Guess they did not have any Italian beef...even after they took the order. I then returned to the restaurant area after tour the gas station, and found no food being prepared yet...I was the only person there...? Finally a hot dog was placed on the grill...fries were basking under the heat lamp...who knows for how long. After about five minutes, another lady came by to apologize for the delay. Finally a sausage was placed in the hot water. It was immersed for a period of time...then the lady added in a pitcher of water...don't know if this helped the cooking time any. She then got the rolls for the wieners. She prepared the Chicago style dog first - it sat there waiting for the completion of the Italian sausage. Then came the second apology for the delay - it needed to be grilled now it add grill marks. So while it cooked, other sandwich was more than happy to get cold and full of liquid from the relish and pickle. After grilling was about done, I was informed that they had no caramelized onions...again might help to check before starting? So was to come with onions, sauerkraut, and mustard. I was too tired of this nonsense by this point...asked if I wanted anything on it...just replied give my it now. So went out and tried to enjoy my waste of 10.00 dollars on cold fries that were cooked much earlier in the day, a cold soggy dog for my wife, and a dry tasteless sausage...all done in barely less than 25 minutes! I wish I would have seen the Portillo's sign first...would have had a real sandwich and been gone in less than 10 minutes. Note to self...do not ever go to a gas station "restaurant" again read more
