The Habit Burger Grill

this place sucks. just try hard burgers with generic taste. there is way too much going on with them and their sauces taste out of
place. you can easily get this same burger practically anywhere else for the same price.

First time here at this location. My order was a little difficult but, I had no problems, everything was delivered as ordered, and very quickly I might add. Margarita was working at the front register and she was very polite and helpful. She went out of her way to make sure everything was made correctly.
I went here with a friend, he ordered a tri-​tip sandwich, and we were both happy :)

For my wife and I, this place has become well… a habit. Burger patties are way better than in n out and the service is always very friendly. We love the music they play and the whole concept of the restaurant too. Not to mention their $ 1 ice cream cones.

I learned about Habit in Socal at the original location in Santa Barbara and since then I have been a fan. Their is nothing like their burgers and I enjoy a lot of burgers.

IN-​N-​OUT meets Dennys. The burgers are high quality the produce and beef are fresh and nicely prepared. THE buns are toasted and enjoyable. I have to say my favorite thing here was the tempura greenbeens. And my biggest complaint would be the frozen run of the mill fries. I would come here again but I am doubtful it would be more than twice a year or so.
Recommend burgers and tempura greenbeens.
Do not recommend the fries or onion rings.
Around 20 bucks for 2 people to dine.

We only come once or twice a year and it’s because it’s a little awkward eating here. The menu is overwhelming to someone who doesn’t frequent the establishment. There is always a long, slow line because ordering it a 40 question quiz that takes about 5 minutes per guest. Or that’s how it feels.
I appreciate the vegetarian options and variety of sides (sweet potato fries etc) and my husband really likes the salmon burger. They have a good thing going with their unique spread of menu items but there is something complicated about it. Like you have to be part of the «regular’s club» to know how to order. The cashiers are friendly and willing to explain.
The atmosphere is ok and this location needs more seating because if you don’t get there before the rush, you’re out of luck.
We’ll continue coming once a year to see if anything has changed.

I typically have a good experience here but tonight was awful. It’s raining out but my wife and I both really want food from The Habit so off I go. I order are food and the staff is great and the food comes really quick too. They read me back my order and it’s all correct. I leave the bag wrapped tight to keep everything warm and rush home.
We open the bag and are missing a french fry I ordered and was told was in the bag. My wife’s sweet potato fries are cold so those get tossed. The hamburgers were decent but on the cool side too. I call the store to talk with someone but am on hold for 10 minutes and no one ever answers the call.
It is so frustrating to pay patronage to a store that you enjoy only to not get what you pay for and have it be sub par quality. This is a growing trench in the food industry but thought The Habit was above it.

I called in my order after leaving the mall down the street Corey answered he was very helpful and made it easy to place my order … When I arrived Pearl greeted me asked if I could give her 5 mins and my order would be out she also asked if I’d like a cup of water while I wait LiLi thought that was pretty cool for a fast food restaurant she made small talk and in about 3mins I was out the door with my food the customer service was great I haven’t ate the food yet but hopefully it’s good too lol

When one is with hunger for a wholesome burger, this is the place to go to! I personally love the veggie burger with guamole and mushrooms. Delicious!

This place is great and it is like The next best thing besides in n out. I’ve came here couple times and I can’t believe I have not given them a review yet. But the food is always great and fresh and it is not presented all sloppy like some other fast food places but this place is only getting a four star rating because I was the only one in the restaurant and it still took them about 10 to 15 minutes to make my meal but other than that they are so friendly and nice and definitely deserve my business again even though it took a while

Had a great first experience at the habitat today!
My boyfriend and I live fairly close and haven’t been before so we tried it for the first time for lunch.
The price range is very cheep for the quantity and flavor you receive. We ordered a bbq bacon burger +chz, a side caesar salad, a soda, and a regular char burger all for around 15 $. The staff was very friendly and made sure we were comfortable and taken care of.
My boyfriend is very particular about hamburgers and the meat that is used and how it is cooked so when he gave the thumbs up I had to write a review!
We will be eating here again very soon!

Great burger place can’t go wrong with it I usually get the bacon Bbq burger. Milkshakes are good no 5 dollar shake but it is good.

Twice now I have placed an online order only to arrive and be told, «Oh, I’m sorry, your card didn’t go through.» How about CALLING or EMAILING when that happens? I got to the restaurant and gave them the same card, and guess what? IT WENT THROUGH. Just like I knew it would. Not happy.
UPDATE: Went for lunch today. Messed up our order not once, but TWICE. Specified NO tomatoes as my wife can’t have them. First order comes with onions (requested no onions) and with tomatoes (same). They remade order and came with tomatoes again! What is REALLY going to keep us from returning however is the fact that an employee went back to work after using the restroom without washing her hands! My wife witnessed her in the restroom walking out without washing first! #grossedout #healthcodeviolation #notgoingback

If there was a better parking lot, I’d give it 5 stars. Aside from that, the burgers are really good, grilled onions are a nice touch, delish soft-​serve ice cream, too. But I never seem to have enough room for a cone!

We walked in at 9:58 p.m. and not only did they serve us, but they did so with a smile! The woman up front even offered to refill the limeade if we wanted that as a drink. I tipped more than 20%, as we were grateful. Food was delicious.

When you think of a particular restaurant you probably are thinking of a particular item yet that is not the case for the Habit. Their cheese burgers are excellent and picture perfect just like the «other guys» picture their burgers as being. The Santa Barbara cob salad it excellent as the vinaigrette with the blue cheese chucks give it that sassy tartness without all the calories of just blue cheese dressing. Their chicken club with all the avocado — OH MY! Then there is the grilled tuna that I just tried — winner with or without the teriyaki sauce. Then there are the tempura fried green bean — okay so the ranch brings the calories back up but who cares. The only item I was not impressed with was the pastrami as it was a little salty for my taste.
Overall this is the best burger joint in town and will accommodate different tastes.

Much better than fast food. The service has always been wonderful and the establishment is usually very clean.
Last year I went several times with my kids for about 3 months. The visits are now very few and far in between and only when we are with someone that wants to try their burgers. My kids do not like their fries and they think their burgers are just OK. We used to visit a place nearby that they absolutely loved but it closed so we were looking to see if this one became a favorite. It didn’t.
I liked their burgers and their prices are extremely good. For a family of four eating burgers, fries and getting some beverages it comes out to just about the same as a fast food joint and like I said, it’s much better. We don’t really do fast foods but we have and regarding prices that’s how I know the math.

My co-​worker got me hooked on The Habit as we’ve been coming to this location for lunch recently. I get the double char Santa Barbara style with cheese, and grilled mushrooms with a side of sweet potato fries. Can you say yummy in my tummy three times fast?
This location is very clean with great customer service. The wait times for food varies between 5 – 7 minutes depending how busy it gets. I think the prices are reasonable for the portion sizes you get. I’m a big eater so the Santa Barbara style double char is the perfect amount of food to keep me full all day. You can also request to have your burger lettuce wrapped if you want to cut out the carbs and butter (the sourdough bread is pretty greasy).
The chicken sandwich with avocado is also another great option if you want to switch it up. I’m a big fan of The Habit now. I just hope I don’t overkill it because I would eat there everyday if I could… okay…maybe not everyday… like three times a week. Give The Habit a try. You’ll love it!
TIP: Mix your ketchup with Tobasco sauce to eat with your yummy sweet potato fries.

Have you ever seen an advertisement where the burger looks like a work of art? The burger on the television screen or in print seems magnificent in it’s allure to draw you down to the restaurant and order the massive saliva inducing burger, but once you get to the counter and place your order, you’re served a very sloppy, pathetically created, pile of bread, produce and meat. Not at The Habit. Their burgers come out of the kitchen looking like they belong in an advertisement! And they are delicious!
This particular location was clean when I walked in, and it was busy (as it usually is). I ordered the BBQ Bacon Char (with Cheese), as I normally do. For under five bucks you get a hell of a burger. I am a fan of this place for a fast food restaurant! Absolutely no complaints. If you have never tried the Habit, you owe it to yourself to give it a try. Highly recommended for a quality, good looking, and appetizing burger.
4 Stars!

* Welcome Experience

What you’d expect from a fast casual restaurant. There’s no welcome experience or any contact until «can I take your order?»
* Establishment
— Ordinary
Looks like a franchise to me! Veneer and plastic and metal. Zzzzzzz…
* Service
— Ordinary
What you’d expect from a fast casual restaurant. There’s no service or any contact other than «can I take your order?»
The milkshake machine spewed some milkshake that landed on the shirt of someone in my party. The cashier muttered, «it’s a good thing you weren’t wearing an expensive shirt.»
Huh?
* Food Quantity /​Quality /​Presentation
— Ordinary
It’s fine. They did what they had to do to make an edible salad. Barely. The lettuce wasn’t cold, and it seemed like it had been sitting in my opinion. It was just ok. It was inexpensive.
* Stuff that isn’t important but I felt it was worth mentioning
The two others in my party were unimpressed but didn’t have any significant complaints.
* What I’ll remember
Absolutely nothing.
* What I can’t wait to forget
Dodging milkshake shrapnel!
