When you're passing through and need a place to stop, no where better than somewhere with food and a restroom! The restaurant was clean, our mobile order was ready on time, fresh and accurate. What more could you want! Our favorites are Santa Barbara char and salad plus the Chicken club. Always get the tempura green beans-- you won't be mad about it. The iced tea and lemonades are perfect for an Arnold Palmer. read more

Habit is always reliable. We appreciate them offering both onion rings and sweet potato fries as alternatives to French fries, and my husband enjoys the ahi tuna sandwich. My onion rings were crisp and light, almost the lightness of a tempura coating. I got the seasonal sirloin steak sandwich on this visit, and it was good, with garlic aioli on a soft ciabatta bun with perfect interior grill-crisping. The steak was tender enough--it's a sirloin, not a filet mignon. My only complaint is that the steak covered only about half of the bun. They should either upsize the steak or downsize the bun. Overall, a solid choice just outside the Tejon Outlet mall. read more

3 kiosks available in addition to ordering at the counter. Food came out quick and was delicious. Great place to stop for grabbing a family meal. Nice lighting and decor inside. The seating area and restrooms were also clean. read more

We were on our way home after a 3-hour drive and hungry, so my mom yelled out, "How about Habit Burger & Grill?" We had never been, so we figured why not try it. The guy at the counter wasn't super friendly, but he was quick and told us the top favorites, which I appreciated. I got the chicken club and my mom ordered the grilled chicken salad. My sandwich was so good, it had a generous amount of avocado, with a hand-filleted marinated chicken breast, crispy veggies, hickory-smoked bacon, all on toasted sourdough. I enjoyed every bite. My mom said her salad was crunchy, fresh, and really tasty. Great first visit! read more

My recollections of Habit Burger go back to when I first moved to Southern California in the 80's. It was still mostly a modest chain out of Santa Barbara, expanding into Ventura County. Their charbroiled burgers could be counted on to be juicy, flavorful, and with toppings that were more like your own backyard BBQ versus mass-produced. They were acquired several times this millennium and have grown rapidly. Smartly, they have restaurants on major commuting routes like I-15 to Las Vegas and the 5 at the Grapevine exit. Dear Hubby and I stopped in recently while on our way to Sacramento. We'd been up early and in trying to hit the road early only had coffee and toast. By the time we crossed the Grapevine, we were ready for something more substantial. Since I had to give up dairy, burgers aren't quite the same; oh, how I miss a yummy cheeseburger! Thankfully, Habit offers a grilled albacore sandwich that is delicious and doesn't leave me feeling like I missed out on the glories of melted cheese. Sharing one order of fries along with our sandwiches was plenty. This location was hopping when we arrived at about 1:00 on a Friday afternoon. Other travelers have "discovered" the joys of Habit's food cooked to order. As a result of the amount of diners in the restaurant, it took a little longer than "normal" to get our food, but we had time to stretch our legs, use the restroom, and be ready to enjoy our little break from the rigors of the road. Given how busy they were, it was nice to see the restaurant being maintained for cleanliness. The noise level was more than I'm used to at a habit, but they do have high ceilings with the sound bouncing around. This particular location is more compact than some. It's nice to see their California surf culture-influenced artwork on the walls. Their emotional home will always be Santa Barbara, and it's a great export from our wonderful Central Coast. read more

We love the salads here, and their ranch dressing is unreal... everything always seems very fresh.

The habit on Laval rd was a horrible experience for me due to the manager on duty named Rick/ Ricardo. We kindly asked for someone to clean our table and he shrugged it off like it wasn't his problem. I understand that it was really busy day but we patiently waited. He was constantly rolling his eyes during the duration of my visit. I forgot to order cheese on our burger and when I kindly asked for cheese he was so condescending and made me feel stupid saying "well cheese isn't free" . Like yes sir I'll pay just ring me up I just can't believe someone with this attitude would be put in a manager position! read more

Service was horrible manager on duty was super rude to not only my family but as I observed I've seen him do the same to 3 different families he rolled eyes and each person talking to him to the point where the cashier had to apologize to all of us for his attitude It baffles me that any business would put someone with that kind of customer service in a manager position Horrible example for all those working You guys need to do a serious evaluation on this location because it seemed by the rest of the employees that his attitude and customer service is a recurring problem Ricardo(Rick) was his name read more

You cannot go wrong with the bacon cheeseburger off the top. First time trying the chicken bites definitely gonna have to come back and get them again. read more

Food is Great ... Service could use some work... It's about 9:30 pm store about to close, Had this shawty mopping the floor as I ordered went to bathroom but she closed it early due to cleaning and closing... had to dock her off some points... Than my buddy asks for some chiles or sauce and the tall cashier girl tells him, " oh we gotta charge you for that," my homie he's very economical so he was really believing it "eyes open" than she tells him "I'm joking" they have a laugh he gets the sauce ... So now I'm docking her some points for being a joker... as I eat the delicious meal an we leave I tell the shawty that you lost cool points with me and I'm going to review this place with a bad rating... Shawty says "post it... ima find you and we gonna have to fight." I tell her catch me if you can ... ha... Here's that post IYKYK OKAYYY P.s. food is great haha read more

Great service very busy but worth the wait !! Employees had it all under control smiling and helpful

I don't even use Yelp but I had to make an account after my experience with Ricardo/Rick. I understand that it was a busy day but that's no excuse to treat PAYING costumers in such an awful manner. His attitude was so evident there were multiple people at the counter calling him out on it. His only response was to tell us in a VERY condescending way "Happy Easter!" His other coworkers were apologizing on his behalf. Every time he was being asked favors he would either roll his eyes or shrug. Because of his shirt color differentiating himself from his coworkers, I can only assume that he has a manager position at this location. This reflects badly on Habit's expectations for their company. read more

Stopped by here in the middle of our 8 hour roadtrip, it's in a nice rest area with plenty of gas stations and restaurants. I like the Habit's food, it's pretty tasty for fast food. It also came out pretty fast. I do think the portions have gotten smaller though, the chicken patty on my sandwich was so skinny and small. Service was just okay. I got the vibe that the cashier was annoyed that I misheard something about our order, and she wasn't exceptionally friendly or anything. read more

I went into this restaurant today and I was so pleased with the customer service here. This is probably the best Habit that I've been to, I want to give a special shoutout to a girl that attended me in the drive thru today, her name is Cynthia. She was super bubbly, great attitude, and I liked my experience just because of this interaction :) read more

Great place for a quick bite. The staff was super amazing and explained everything that we asked. Food was hot and tasty and we enjoyed it. The pepper bar is great and of the course the place was super clean. The fries could have used another minute but all good. One knock is the price was pretty steep but what isn't today? Highly recommend. Oh and they also have wheat buns. Bonus! read more

Too crowded. But the bathroom was clean. There was just too many people. It took forever to get my food, and the service was not the best.

Habit Burger & Grill - Cob salad - Burgers Near Me - Arvin, California

So it was pretty crowded right at noon on a Sunday. Luckily the kiosk was open so I ordered there. Straightforward, pick up your drink cup at the counter, wait for the text. We waited so long! It was over 15 minutes for our food. It was fresh and delicious, with my order being exactly right. It just took a very long time for what was supposed to be a quick road trip lunch. read more

Ordered a burger and onion rings through takeout. The girl shoved the sandwich into the smallest bag, and placed the onion rings in a small tray on top of the burger. Onion rings were falling all over, had to remove them one by one to get to them burger, which was so smashed in the bag I had to rip the bag to remove it. Had to reassemble the burger as best I could. Drink was overfilled so the minute you picked it up it spilled off the top of the lid. All in all, an unpleasant experience served by a girl with no people skills. One would expect better service at the prices charged. read more

Again another busy location we stopped for in coming back from LA. The line did however move quickly. I tried one of their impossible burgers. Wasn't too bad but the flavor was lacking. I had the works on mine though and a side of tempura green beans. The location could have used a sweeping as the Floors were really dirty even under our table. Their restrooms for the women has about 2-3 stalls BUT only one sink. A little challenge there. Decent service though read more

Really good food. The service is good. But, it's probably better if you go inside. The outside does look nice.

Drive thru and service is fairly fast. Somewhat off the highway in Tejon area. Gotta love their char burgers.

Horrible! The lid for the "large ranch" that accompanied my salad was not on! My to-go order is a mess. No one even cared to take down my phone number/email, and 'I' had to request a refund. Ranch dressing leaked everywhere. All over the passenger front seat (leather)and everything on the seat: Beats Headphones, Coach Bag (Leather), Pelle Pelle Jacket (Leather) and cords....and additionally, on my hands & my pants. There was no apology, no admission of fault, and no one that I spoke to addressed themselves as a manager, so I'm under the assumption that there was no manager on duty. I cannot imagine someone seeing me at the drive-through window with ranch everywhere because of an erroneous error, not wanting to take action and rectify the situation appropriately. Very unprofessional. read more

I stopped at the Habit various times and the service and food quality has been consistent. It's clean and quite, perfect for a pit stop while on the road. Worth a little extra wait to get here if you are needing to make a stop. Sorry, no pics this time. Ate the portobello mushroom hamburger too quickly. read more

Don't come here!! We ordered ahead of time to save time and they told us through the site our order was ready. We arrived and checked into the parking spot. No one came out for over ten minutes after they said our food would be out shortly. I walked inside and the manager advised our order wasn't even ready yet. I asked why would it tell me the order is ready and someone would come out with our food. She blamed the "call center" not knowing her restaurant was busy. Line was too big inside be you could see people were just standing around waiting for food. They need better management to streamline the process. no seems to be organized to get food out to customers. It's been 25 minutes since they said my food should be ready and 20 minutes since the check in and still no food. read more

Habit Burger & Grill - Longest wait for hamburger ever!! - Burgers Near Me - Arvin, California

Had to repeat order 3 times, they still failed to make order correctly. I don't know know how after repeating the order 3 times that you still end up with onions on food. The bread was so buttery napkins couldn't even get the film off my hands. The patties were completely over cooked. The worst experience ever. read more

I have been a long time customer of The Habit sporadically over the years, but recently started going again because honestly, I forgot how dang good they are!! Still great quality and worth the price to me (before anyone goes saying they're expensive- it's been about the same price for years- surprisingly) The teriyaki charburger w/ cheese & sweet potato fries are *chefs kiss* - top that off with a Cookies & Cream shake? Say no more! read more

I was on the way on I-5 and found this Habbit Burger Grill spot in the Tejon outlets at Arvin just before the Grapevine climb. The food is delicious and the fries were crispy. This place has a drive thru, so you can order burgers on the go. There is enough seating for small and large groups. The interior is well lit and with the rush of people, they seem to be pretty good at handling the line. At the peak, you would just be waiting for less than 10 minutes in line to order. They do have pickles and marinated chilies to garnish your food. The orders seem to be fast moving and the kitchen is keeping well at the pace in getting out food on time. I am sure I would stop by here in my next drive on I-5. read more

Habit Burger & Grill - This Habbit Burger has a Drive Thru - Burgers Near Me - Arvin, California

This one, and all the locations I've been to since, are kept very clean.   Also, no matter the location -- I've experienced consistency across the chain (good job corporate trainers!).  Whether you choose burgers, fries, salads, chicken sandwiches, or all four -- it's fresh, good quality, well-priced, and quick. My favorite burger is the Teriyaki Char Burger with Cheese -- love that charbroiled flavor and sweet tangy sauce.  It's nearly impossible to avoid their combo with fries (fresh, superb) & a drink -- heck yeah!.  It's fast food prices, and yet, no sacrifice on quality whatsoever. I also highly recommend their salads.  They have several kinds to choose from.  More than half of my visits I would order the Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad, and I have them add bbq or teriyaki sauce atop -- it is supreme!  The chicken is served warm, and again, love that char flavor. Randy likes.  For this price range, it's an excellent choice. ========================================= Location specific: Arvin, CA (right off the 5 fwy) ========================================= * Staff:  Quick, very business-like...no joking around or small-talk. * Seating: large inside, and a handful of outside tables. * Parking: plentiful. read more

Legit burger lettuce bun yummmmmm great spot! Great stop on the way to LA we will be back

Hit this Habit on my way back from S. Ca. The best part of this restaurant is the fact that it has a drive thru, which my one at home does not have. Everything was good, if you've been to the Habit you know the menu. Char burger is my go to. No complaints. One thing to prepare for, because it's cooked fresh is it is a bit of a wait in the drive thru. So even though there was only two cars in front of us, it took a little longer than I would have liked. All in all, it's still a good stop. read more

Solid spot to stop by for yummy burgers and fries on the way to/from SoCal! We had eaten at just about every fast food joint along the I-5 on our road trip, so we decided to stop here real quick before the rest of the way home. My favorite is the Santa Barbara char with either the onion rings or tempura green beans. Or all 3 sides, in this case lol. Can't go wrong! read more

I came here for lunch on our way up to NorCal. My Mom loves the Habit so this place was here choice. I really like this place too. We had our dog so we sat in their outside seating. It was nice and shaded. My Mom and Brother went inside to order, while I sat outside with the dog. My Brother came back outside with my soda cup. I split a cheeseburger with my Mom, with a side of onion rings and a soda for me. We waited outside with our buzzer until our food was ready. They cut our burger in half which was nice. I told my Mom to tell them to cut in half and they did. Their burgers are always delicious and filling. The onion rings are crunch and hot. We always get their ranch on the side. Their ranch is perfect, not too thick or thin. It was a perfect lunch that helped us refuel for our day on the road. read more
