4 (hot) chicken tenders not hot at all. I ate one before the picture so it shows only three.
Ryan B.

I got the four chicken tenders (hot) but they weren't that spicy at all. They were delicious though. Tender chicken and a crispy crunchy light breading that is outstanding. I ordered hot honey sauce on the side and it was ridiculously good. The crinkle cut fries were ok and they came with a garlicky dipping sauce that was good too! I ate in my car and ordered ahead so I can't speak on ambience or atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for really good chicken tenders. It's pricey but what isn't these days? Check them out!

Great friendly service. Chicken sandwich was good. So were the fries. Lots of dipping sauces and heat levels to choose from. My stout tasted great. Wasn't crazy about the Mac bowl.

Grilled chicken sandwich hot with just lettuce

Holee Hot Chicken was this good. I got the grilled chicken sandwich (hot) with just lettuce and a side of coleslaw and Memphis Bbq sauce as I wanted to combine it in to my own creation. First, I like spice but am on the "I don't claim to be able to handle to heat" so the Hot was right for me enough heat to make me question my choices but not enough to not love it. The grilled chicken was also cooked perfectly: juicy, tender and plentiful. Coleslaw was beyond. Absolute perfection if you love a creamy coleslaw and I do. Flavorful, refreshing and just outstanding. Absolutely fabulous.

Amazing, been here like 4 times in the last few weeks and it's fantastic. The spice can get really intense but it's delicious. Definitely recommend

Collard greens and potato salad

I was in the area and was hungry for HOT chicken! I ordered one of Baba's plates - sandwich + tender and 2 sides. After ordering my food, I then realized they had beer on tap!! I guess that's what "and brews" meant. There was some trepidation on my part since I'm not one to put pickles or slaw on my sandwich. The hot original was a lil' messy - but I loved it - all of it. I got collard greens and the potato salad for my sides and they both provided just the right contrast. The single tender was perfectly cooked and yummy. They brought my food to me at one of the outside tables - smooth. For beers, I tried the ale and the lager - both were very good. I will definitely come back for the hot chicken, sides and cold beer.

Baba Baba's Wrap
Nino M.

Very surprised with this place wasn't thinking much of it when I walked in, but I got the baba wrap With mild sauce it was actually amazing! Chicken was fresh perfectly seasoned sauce had the perfect cake pickles lettuce tasted fresh definitely coming back

Is it babas or babs? Is still a discussion amongst my friends but this place has good hot chicken. The insanity has a kick to it and when you order it, they do confirm that this is the spicy level you want. If you're a spicy food lover like me, I highly recommend! The service is pretty fast here so it's a good place to grab a quick lunch. There is an ample parking space so don't need to worry about parking. They also offer beer which will go perfect with your chicken!

Sides and chicken

This is the BEST fried chicken around this area! Our order included 10 huge chicken breasts (fried to perfection), collard greens, macaroni salad and corn bread. Every item in our order (including the dipping sauces) was delicious. I highly recommend Baba's!

I've been there twice the the last 3 days and had 2 completely different experiences. If i could rate a 3.5 stars I would so I'm going with a 3. Thursday 1/29/24 ordered lunch for work: Southern Bbq chicken (permanent insanity heat): *VERY SPICY!!* I have to give kudos to whoever made this hot.. it's actually spicy and packs a hell of a punch! Enjoyed the spice level. However, if you're going to call this a barbecue sandwich, it needs more barbecue sauce than just the quarter size dollop in the middle.. tasted zero bbq Chicken tender- very good. Fries: right amount of crispness. Mac & Cheese: very similar to Wawa's. Just ok. Peach cobbler: I enjoyed this. My coworkers tried the custard and banana pudding: both enjoyed their desserts. Fast forward to today 2/1/24 ordered dinner for the family: Collard Greens: Good seasoning. Enjoyable Macaroni salad: I have no idea what kind of macaroni salad this was but it's was more like a pasta salad- with cheese and tomatoes . Didn't have much creaminess and was very dry. Not a fan of this. Coleslaw: loved it on the sandwich, didn't like it by itself. Fries: this time were soggy. Disappointing Chicken wings: LET'S TALK ABOUT THESE WINGS. This was my first experience of the "no heat" option for spice. I didn't realize that this also meant ZERO flavor. The coating just tasted like crispy fried flour. My mom and husband both tried the wings and nobody liked them- there was just something off putting. The skin underneath was thick and gummy which was causing the coating to fall off. Even tried putting them in the air fryer and it didn't help. We threw these outside for the animals to eat. Very disappointed as we paid $20 for 4 wings and 2 sides and didn't like any of them. Final thoughts: I enjoyed the chicken sandwich's and tenders. Fries are a hit of miss. Not a huge fan of any of the sides I've tried. Give their sandwich's and tenders a shot!! Definitely worth a try. If you love spicy chicken, then there is on point!!!

Trio plate with an original chicken sandwich, potato salad, and collard greens.
Sean T.

This place surprised me. 1) Most hot chicken places don't deliver on the "hot." I ordered the trio plate and the wingding/tender were not that hot. It seems like they didn't apply it well enough, because the chicken sandwich had my mouth on FIRE. One of the hottest food experiences, and I like hot food. I probably will get the Insanity and not their hottest (Permanent Insanity) though, next time. It was intense, lol. 2) Most hot chicken places only serve fries, and a salad if you're lucky. The potato salad and greens were very tasty. I wasn't expecting much from the potato salad because it's light, and I like mustard in mine. But it had everything else. And tbe greens were surprisingly good. Plenty salt going on, I'm sure, so I couldn't eat this everything day. But I'll definitely be back for that heat. Glad they are in the area. I forgot: I did had the banana pudding, and wasn't a big fan. Tasted artificial: needed real banana and maybe some cream cheese, or just cream for that matter. I'll try the peach cobbler next time, but the rest of the meal was too good to knock off a star.

Everything was great from the atmosphere, food, service, and prices. We went for their half off wings. The wings were delicious! Fried perfectly and juicy inside with a great honey Sriracha sauce. A very underrated item is their delicious fries. They have a great selection of house drafts and specials every day for both happy hour and daily specials. I will definitely be returning for more of their specials. I have my eye on their burgers!

However the restaurant is tucked away on the second floor of a shopping center, and the seating is not ideal. The acoustics made it difficult to hear the server and my dinner companions, and this was before the live music began (which was setting up in the dining area as we ate). I was pleasantly surprised by the food, and everyone seemed cheerful and welcoming. But the restaurant was too chaotic to have any semblance of a meaningful conversation. I had to shout across the table to be heard. I may come back to enjoy a beverage and listen to a band, but I would never bring a date to this location if I had any expectation of enjoying each other's company. And that's really a shame: the food and location are excellent.

As a first timer who has eaten at most of the major chain burger restaurants (fast food and casual…read moredining) across the country, I can't believe I hadn't been to Habit. Seriously, I've been up and down both coasts and never stopped in. So, about two weeks ago I fixed that oversight. I stopped in on a snowy weekend night not too much before closing. I liked that they were fast food-ish but with a more diverse set of options. I liked ordering at the kiosk since it was our first time. We had time to look at our options, check the ingredients, etc. I opted for the burger with the portabella mushroom. All three of us made it a meal. The food came out relatively quickly. We all liked our food. I thought they might start slacking with it being about a hour until they closed, but the food was good. The actual burger was the least exciting part of my sandwich. The portabella was done nicely and the grilled onions were good. The fries were excellently crunchy. The drink options were a nice change from the standard soda choices. I had the strawberry limeade. The others chose iced tea and Dr. P. The housemade ranch sauces were nice with the fries. We also tried the teriyaki - also good with the fries. The service was fast. The parking was convenient. The place was clean. The ambiance was modern but comfortable. The bathrooms were clean. It was a great experience. Not super fancy, but a notch above the major chains. I would definitely go back and try other options.

Updating my 10 year old review…read more The soccer facility I played at moved, so I'm not here as often, and am definitely not closing the bar any longer. I do work in the area and we come for lunch and happy hour regularly. It's a minute from the Target, Lowe's, BJs shopping center and has a nice private lot. It's changed a bit in the last decade. They got rid of the 2 pool tables and now have more seating in the dining room. There is a full bar in this area as well, tho often closed unless it's really busy. What hasn't changed? The food is still tasty. Great smoked meats and amazing lunch specials during the week. They also do a great job hiring good servers here, efficient and personable. I think Marissa is the only server I've known long term, but Audrey waited on us today and was absolutely wonderful. Be sure to mention to her how much you love Audrey Hepburn, might score you a drink! The lunch specials are amazing. So amazing I don't even want to mention them because it already gets busy. The wings on Tuesday are too notch, second only to the burger deal in Thursdays. And if you like ribs head in on Wednesday.

It didn't help that several of the beer/ and non-alcohol options that were ordered at our table were out of stock. The philly cheesesteak, the burger, and my fries were all-ok. What makes this a 4 star review was the offering of the IPA by Evil Genius - Stacy's Mom Yeah, that's the name and she does have it goin' on!!! This refrain is perfectly suited for this IPA "Stacy's mom has got it goin' on She's all I want And I've waited for so long Stacy, can't you see? You're just not the beer for me I know it might be wrong but I'm in love with Stacy's mom" Stacy's Mom is one of Evil Genius' year-round flagship beers. It's an IPA with low bitterness and lots of hop flavor. Dry-hopped entirely with Citra. One of the best IPAs I have ever had. I had two that night. 3 stars for P.J and 5 stars for Stacy's Mom.

This time I tried a margarita, which I like to sample whenever it's on the menu. The PJ's Classic Margarita is made with orange juice, agave and lime juice. It's a screwdriver with tequila. The wings are great, this trip we had the pickleback and sweet chili. Meaty and very good. I also tried the French dip which was good. It comes with ruffles potato chips. The quesadilla was as good as I could make at home.
