Food was delicious! Enjoyed watching Chef Rob from our view at the counter!
Superb meals with average desserts
Food was creative and very appetizing. Noise level was awful. Could hardly hear waiter, and took away from dining experience. Hope they can fix that. Great location in downtown Rock Hill.
This was my first time at Kounter. I’d heard so many great things and they did not disappoint. Great food and good experience overall. Looking forward to going back soon!
Food was great! Drinks were great. Service was a little slow but overall experience was awesome
Lively atmosphere, excellent food and service. A winner!
There were four people in our party and each of us selected something different. We went for brunch and the food and service was excellent and of course love the history of the building.
Even though the servers and staff were wearing masks every table was full which made
us feel a bit uncomfortable. We will definitely be back, but perhaps when it is a bit slower.
You won't be disappointed in their menu or their food!!
Outstanding doesn't even begin to cover our experience! I had heard many good things about the Kounter and Chef Rob and we were not disappointed in the least. Cocktails were inventive and delicious; appetizers so good especially the hummus and goat cheese; our entrees' amazing. Desserts are an entirely different category as they are prepared by Chef Rob at his counter station. Server congenial and prompt We are looking forward to our next trip.
A wonderful experience! Can't wait to return! The service, food and drinks reminded me of much more expensive restaurants in Chicago.
Staff and Chef were super nice and attentive. The chef is very innovative and loves to show his recipes and skills. Definitely sit at the bar it’s an experience you won’t regret. We liked everything we ordered. Pricing is also very affordable for the presentation and amount of food you receive. We will definitely do date night here again!
The food and drinks were excellent. Overall, we had a great night. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. However, I found the room to very bright and LOUD. My husband and I had to yell at each other to hold a conversation. The food took a very long time to come out, but the staff was very apologetic.
Fun and inventive! Kounter is a great addition to this area. We will definitely come back!
Excellent food but a little crowded for COVID. Loud place but it’s small so that makes sense. I will definitely go back.
Caitlin was awesome. We sat in front of chef and he is very talented. Kudos to the staff. Food and drinks were all great. Will be back soon.
Fantastic historic location. Beautiful decor. Fantastic attention to detail. Wait staff very friendly and accommodating. Food outstanding.
Very cute new restaurant in downtown Rock Hill. My friend and I sat at the Kounter; expecting to perhaps engage with the staff behind the Kounter on the history of their beautiful new restaurant. Unfortunately, we didn't converse with anyone, except to order our food and request refills on water and ice tea. I had a lipstick stain on my glass which was a turn off. The staff apologized and promptly brought me a clean glass.
Our starter was the baked feta and it was delicious and beautifully presented. For lunch, we both had different salads. The salad comes in a glass jar that you shake up and add to your salad bowl. Although, this is a great concept, and beautifully presented, I would have preferred to have my salad dressing on the side as it was too much and overpowered the salad. As a side note: I tried to use my $10 Open Table rewards, but was told they do not accept it.
This was our second time and we have loved both experiences. The first time was a date with my husband and tonight was dinner with friends. It was really fun because they really enjoy great food but had not been yet so we enjoyed seeing them enjoy it for the first time. The smoking tuna appetizer has a fun presentation and it is delicious. I had the salmon dish for dinner and it was amazing! Also the gin and tonic cocktail was special. We loved it Again!! Yay for a great new restaurant in Rock Hill, SC. We are blessed to have chef Rob back in Rock Thrill!!
Great food! Lively atmosphere. Chef driven creations that tasted as good as description. Fun cocktails .
Overall Kounter is really tasty and a good concept. It’s only been open for a few months so there are some few kinks still needing to be worked out. The desserts were SO good! My one feedback I would give to the chefs- portion size. The majority of tables that come through are 2 or 4 tops. Most of the small plates are 3 pieces, which in our mind doesn’t make sense. So when we ordered the ribs we would have had to split one- tho they were sold out by 7 so I bet they are tasty. Once you can analyze the flow of traffic I would suggest they reevaluate the inventory/product availability for each dinner shift. Our server was amazing! She was so sweet and gave such history about the owners and the space. That’s the kind of service you think of when going to these unique concepts! Well definitely be back!
Amazing! Everything was perfect. The food, the server, the drinks. We loved it & can’t wait to go back!
Delicious food and great service. Can’t wait to go back.
Made a reservation for Valentines Day Brunch early afternoon. Greeted and seated quickly. Our server Brooke was amazing . Very knowledgeable of menu and specialty drinks. Ordered chicken and waffles . Their syrup, fresh cream, and caramel sauce are to die for, and made in house. The husband got the Piggy and also enjoyed it.
The peach Bellini and Bloody Maria ( has a kick ) was also tasty. I was very impressed with authenticity of the the restaurant, lots of character .
Superb service. Wonderful food. Amazing experience.
This place is so cute! Great atmosphere! We visited for brunch and were not disappointed. Come for the food, stay for the 2 hour mimosa! I will definitely be back!
Valentine’s Day
Food was good. Ordered a Cuban breakfast bowl and being from Miami, married to a Cuban, the flavors were definitely there but my dish wasn’t executed well-missing the Cuban toast and the Chimichurri Hollandaise. It was Valentine’s Day and they were slammed so we understood. Other than that, food was good!
Went for Valentines Day and had a great time. The service was outstanding, the bacon wrapped meatloaf was delicious, and the PB&J wontons were great paired with the ice cream! Would definitely recommend and plan to return in the future.
Excellent experience. Will definitely go back in the near future.
Dinner was fantastic. One the best restaurants we have been too. And we have eaten all over the world. Service was great.
Terrific night at Kounter. Food was unique and sooo good. Smoking Tuna Poke was amazing. Fried Ribs and Shrimo special were excellent. Service was great and everyone was friendly and trying to make our experience the best it could be. Highly recommend
Location inviting and crew friendly and accommodating. Cocktails were perfect! Social distancing not being observed. Entrees were portioned correctly and presentation was great but bland in flavor. Steak was overcooked, potatoes although pretty were bland in flavor. Same with salmon. The shrimp appetizer was great. Overall an okay experience. Just not the hype I've heard about it.
The food was amazing at Kounter. Everything had great flavor. The service was also great! Our only complaint was the steak was very small (cut into 4/5 bites) for $26.00. The steak tasted great, just wish my husband would have gotten full from his meal. Everything else was wonderful. We will go back!
Food was imaginative and interesting. Ribs were great. Cocktails were the weakest point of the evening. Not sure if it was just their spin on traditional cocktails but they reminded me of cocktails you'd get at a mediocre Chinese restaurant. Ordered 3 different whisky cocktails and they all tasted the same and way too sweet. Would try again without the cocktails. Maybe stick with wine.
Food was outstanding. Our server unfortunately was not very good. Tables very close together. Very loud. Would go back because the food was so good. Just won’t expect a fine dining experience.
The food was amazing. So different fro. Luther local restaurants. We will defiantly be back and brings some friends along.
We enjoyed wonderful food at the Kounter on Valentine’s Day.
The service was good but our waitress failed to tell us about the specials for the day.
We only know this because we ran into another couple who had dined there at the same time and same day. They mentioned they had the special Valentine’s cheesecake and it was exceptional.
We definitely would have ordered it.
We will have to remember to ask about the specials next time.
We will definitely dine there again.
Excellent service and quality of food. The atmosphere is casual.
The food was some of the best we have ever had in the area. It is a small space, so noise level is high and seating is close.
Food and service was excellent. Didn’t much care for People sitting pretty close together with the pandemic still ongoing.
Love , love , love it! Chef Rob and staff are amazing !
