This past weekend my husband and I went to The Counter which is one of our favorite Veg Friendly hot spots located in Reston, Virginia. The Counter is actually a custom burger joint with veg friendly options. I personally think that this spot is also great if you have non veggie friends as it allows for you to dine out and not fall all the way off of your healthy eating regimen. In addition to that everyone is bound to find something at this place. The counter looks like a cross between an old burger joint with an industrial feel. If you visit this place you can be seated indoors or find a place outdoors on a nice warm day. You can also sit at the counter where they also serve drinks.

The Counter’s veg friendly burger is called the Asian Veggie which is made up of 1/3lb veggie patty, organic mixed greens, carrot strings, chopped red onion, grilled pineapple, roasted red peppers, scallions and a ginger soy glaze and peanut sauce. However you can customize your veggie burger as well and you have the option of a gluten free bun or you can get your burger in a bowl which I almost always do. If you choose to customize your burger there are tons of veggie toppings, sauces and dressings to choose from.

The other thing that I like about The Counter’s burger is that it is made of whole foods and is not made from mock meats which are found at most places. The texture of their veggie burger is great and it is actually really tasty.

The Counter has a ton of locations in California. However you can also find a location near you (Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, New York, Texas, Ireland) with lots of new and upcoming locations coming soon according to their website.

I totally recommend The Counter and I know that you will love it!!!!
