Known across Glasgow for its mouthwatering burgers, Big Counter was also praised by the newspaper for its "hearty old-school favourites".
Writer Ben Mervis noted the eatery's "no-frills approach to comfort eating", as well as its humorous and unique menu.
He added: "Recent standouts include a serving of roast mallard with pease pudding and crisps, rarebit gratin and beef and onions with a cheesy aligot mash. It only opened last summer but Big Counter has already earned a loyal following.

Two Eight Seven, 287 Langside Road
Dubbed "the best little bakery" by The Observer, food writer Ben Mervis said that Govanhill neighbourhood hub Two Seven Eight was a treasure trove of bread and sourdough rolls.
Particular praise was given to owners Sam and Anna Luntley's "delicious laminated pastries such as cardamom and bergamot morning buns".
Mervis continued: "Anna fills the glass display cabinet and back tables with 25 of her sweet and savoury bakes: from macaroni hand-pies to beremeal brownies, and her own creations such as “lunar cookies” made with locally produced Barebones chocolate and buckwheat flour, topped with chocolate ganache and vanilla buttercream.
