The Kitchen Counter — Restaurant in Town of Union

If you haven't heard about this place and stopped for a bite to eat or for some of their tasty ice cream that's combod with wonderful presentation, well trying to say "you're missing out" is an understatement. I saw this place on social media and instantly became a big fan of their advertising/marketing on top of how delicious the food appeared to be. This was beyond a simple experience of grabbing food at a joint and then casually going about the rest of your day. I stopped by to eat here and after a quick chat while ordering, continued to be impressed by the context of everything. One of the owners was the personable gentleman who took my family's order.

Sooo, the food came out quick, was/tasted really fresh, and what aided in constructing such a wonderful outcome for my taste buds was the fact that they use fresh, high quality ingredients, from what appears to be sourced as local as possible. After eating every last crumb, I... ahhhh yeah. It's the type of experience that gets you yearning to come back for more.

Support this biz that's being ran by motivated owners and a motivated crew that have local roots to the area. Their commendable qualities and persistentance at doing the best they can in all aspects, is why they continue to be successful. I want to mention that their simple yet 'straight to the point' branding is the cherry on top for it all. The way it is, its' the type of branding that sticks to you/glues to your brain as a staple in its' said field, like other popular brands.

They are trying to raise the bar on food establishments in the 607 area and that's not just an unbiased perception of mine, its' a fact. I'm excited to be a continuous customer of this business. Thanks for the 🤤 grub. I encourage you to stop by and experience it for yourself! (and btw it's handicap/wheelchair accessible and very roomy for movement in 1, I'm a paralyzed quad and wanted to mention that as a part of my experience...

Stopped in for the first time a couple of weekends ago with my parents. We all got a single smash burger and within the first bite we knew this place would be a go-to for their future visits. Fortunately unfortunately for me, I'm local. 🤣 Stopped in today before work to get food for work. A single smash for breaky and a whole sub for throughout the night. Yall...I apparently didn't know what I was getting myself into. They don't do "normal" whole subs. This thing is absolutely massive. Half of it is almost a full "normal." And it is loaded. I had to look at it, so naturally I had to take a few bites. This place is just straight up 🔥🔥 The food is amazing, the staff is super nice. The atmosphere is adorably comfortable. The only thing I'm not so sure about is the shakes. I got one and it is a lot thinner than I was expecting. I don't know if that's just because I was brought up on thick shakes? But everything else is 🔥

Oh and the did cut the halves in half, so that's nice. I included a picture of one of the halves next to the smash and my hand is roughly the size of a samsung note 10+ for scale...

This place is awesome. Classic Americana. Almost everything I've had here has been fantastic. Burger, fries, chicken, whatever. A ton of ice cream flavors. Sometimes they even have a few dairy free options. Chicken is buttermilk brined so again, if you're dairy free, be away. The Chicago Beef was OK. It was pretty under seasoned and dry, but that's how it's been for the majority of places I've had one. Mine was provided with au jus which others have said they didn't get. The burger was delicious, and so was the chicken.

I really like a place where it looks like the staff all get along, help each other out, and it looks like they're having a good time. The young woman who took our order was very accommodating, as was the kitchen staff. Cool dudes. The owner is lucky they have such a great staff.

Nothing bad to say about this place. Had...
