The food is ok but they have the absolute slowest drive-thru I've ever experienced. And it's not just a one time thing, it's every time. It doesn't matter if is there's only two cars in front of you, it's still going to take you a minimum of 20 minutes to get your food. I've seriously thought about ordering a pizza when i get in line, and have it delivered to me while I'm still in line. read more

Might want to think twice on those gotta habit wraps. I got one and I was struggling to find any chicken in it. Agree with the other folks to double check your order before you drive away. They are known to get stuff wrong at this habit. read more

Unfortunately, this is not the review. I'd like to give, but the honest truth is the staff is not happy. They close before closing time. They don't work together as a team, and the food therefore is exceptionally poor Nope not good! . It's just not worth it read more

Was there two weeks ago and the service was horrible. The manager was a jerk and didn't even care. Will not be back!!!

Service is horrible. Going through the drive through should not take 20 minutes waiting for the first car to get served. The food was cold !!!! The habit has changed they way the service is and the quality of food. Go to eddies burger across the street and you get great service and warm good food. read more

Avoid this location. Every year or two I think to myself "gee I'll give this place another try", "maybe they've improved", "they can't possibly be as bad as last time", and every time, like an amnesia patient, I am stunned by how bad it is. With just 1 car ahead of me, the drive thru wait was 25 minutes and I received a completely incorrect order. I also did not receive a receipt so by the time I got back to work to eat, I had no way to prove I had been given chicken nuggets instead of the (much more expensive) SB char I had paid for. There is a small pool of grease/fry oil at the bottom of my onion ring container. Never again. read more

The service at this location is horrible! Very slow. The workers don't seem to really care about the Customer one way or the other. Ben do a lot of habits and this is probably the worst one I've ever been to.L read more

Slowest experience I've ever had and gave me the wrong order which I didn't realize until I left. This place is a joke. I'm not sure what is going on in there but clearly it is there first day on earth! read more

The ice cream machine was broken and I couldnt get my shakes. Then, the workers tell me that I won't get a refund for 7-8 days. I was very sad and just wanted something sweet. read more

The food was barely edible. The food was not prepared to the order. Also, the burger tasted old and the buns were charred.

I spent 25 minutes in the Drive-Thru. Absolutely ridiculous. And Habit representatives, rather than patronizing me by responding back that you're sorry about my extended wait time in your Drive-Thru, like so many others have commented....Do something about it! read more

Tried this place again. It was a total mistake. The drive thru is slower than slow. Waited in line for far too long. Only one car was in front of us too. This isn't a new issue either and clearly they haven't fixed it. Cold food in a drive thru is unacceptable. The Habit, you really need to address this location. It's a total nightmare to visit. read more

On my way home and decided to pull over and grab an order of fries for the road. How hard is it to cook fries? Soggy, Greasy Fries. Believe me I would look elsewhere, I could have squeezed the oil out of them into a puddle, you WILL be disappointed with the quality. The Habit used to be good, but last two times I've gone it's been really bad, I definitely won't be going back. read more

Make sure to check your order before leaving! While the food itself was fine it was just not what I ordered.

terrible customer service. Took almost an hour in the drive-through and another 30 minutes to get our food. Mistakenly charged us for a 10 piece chicken bites instead gave six pieces. then made us had to wait to remake our order and was just terribly rude when handing it over. read more

The Habit once had excellent food and service. Boy, had it gone downhill. I used to be a regular customer, but after today I'm not coming back. The last two times I've been there the ahi tuna sandwich was not good and the service was terrible. I had to wait 25 minutes for my sandwich. I have ordered several dozen sandwiches over the years and it is not good anymore. read more

This location of the Habit is always jammed but it's because it's so good! I really like Habit's burgers and appreciate that you can get a lettuce wrapped option. I also devour their Tempura Green Beans dipped in ranch! This location now has an order ahead option, which is great when the drive-thru line is long. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, plus easy parking. read more

This is usually one of our pit stops on the way up north. I usually order online for quick service. Everything tasted fresh and was exactly what we needed. They just built a park next door with lots of picnic tables in case you have furry friends with you. read more

Poor Staffing, poor service. food was not prepared to order. Ordered on Kiosk because employee was ignoring the counter. Not worth the time to visit anymore. read more

I've eaten at the Santa Maria CA location and I remember not really thrilled about it. This time I was looking forward to having a great burger. Only ordered the burger, wow, I was 3rd car in line, they were served quick. I got to the booth and associate was happy to greet and get my card and processed quick. I swear, it seemed like 10 minutes to get my order of one burger, but I was happy, when I opened the wrapper it looked beautiful, I then took my first bite. Hmm, I was thinking I would get that out of this world taste in the second bite. Well, down to the last bite I got no sensational bite, I kept thinking a McDonald's burger would of tasted better. Oh well, maybe next time. read more

I've been in the drive thru for 30 minutes still don't have my food. I get if it's busy but put a time counter to tell me if I think it's worth it and not get stuck without being able to get out. I wouldn't do the drive thru it's super slow. read more

Total crap place. Not only slow. They got the whole order wrong. The whole thing. Skip this place.

Gross. What solidified the nasty experience on a Monday night of a poor burger slapped together in a greasy wrapper was the Pepsi that was given to us with NO ICE and completely FLAT. Why was the thought process, "yeah, sure, that works! I'll send this to the customer just fine" Did you not think we would notice? The customer service was horrible and the food was worse. This place is completely done. read more

I just stopped in to use their bathroom since the Starbucks had a line. They were still friendly and accommodating. Bother the restroom and dining area were clean. I can't attest to the food but all the patrons looked satisfied. read more

Customer service has really gone down hill over the years. What awful staff the Habit in Buellton has now. I asked for a root beer float thru drive thru and the employee let me know that they didn't have root beer, thinking that they must have run out but the worker said that they don't sell any at that location, which I was confused cuz it has only been a year since I've gotten a root beer float at that Habit so I know they use to sell it but she made it sound like they never did which is wrong bcuz I was there was that Habit first opened. Then I hear the worker say, "omg this lady" loud and clear in the intercom. Once I got my food & payed, I let her know that I didn't appreciate her attitude over the intercom which she's telling me where she used to work, which I didn't ask and what does where you use to work have anything to do with how you talked to me. And she kept saying that she's didnt want to argue with me WHILE she's arguing with me in an aggressive tone. DISGUSTING. Even if she didn't agree with me she doesn't have the nerve to have an aggressive tone. Where are they getting these employees who treat customers like trash?? Lompoc? JUST AWFUL. read more

I don't make a Habit out of eating at the Habit. But when on the road, craving a fast burger--I will step in. Sweet Potato Fries here are excellent. I ask for them with no salt or sugar added--these fries are so good they don't need that crap on them. Compared to other Habit's I have been to--the Double Char Burger here was less than Par. I don't know why?--I have tasted better at other Habits in So Cal. They may be using a different beef vendor? It just was not there for me yesterday--not awful--just not what you want it to be, especially one that is cooked on a flame which is the best burger prep method. I get my burger on a wheat bun here. Staff here is nice. Habit is a place you go periodically when on the road--not a place you look forward to dining at or plan a meal at. The quality is average. read more

Last night we went through the drive through for a late dinner. It was $42 for two meals. Hamburger onion rings and a soda. We tried the avocado wedges and they were so bad we through them out. The avocado was too ripe. Then as we were leaving the drive through my husband said "wait they gave us the wrong order" so I had to go back and bang on the door since it was locked. The girl was nice and brought me the right order and apologized. The burger was sloppy and greasy and hard to eat. The onion rings were the only thing edible. I will not be going back anytime soon. read more

I ordered the ahi burger and sweet potato fries. This was a take out order so I was defenseless when I got to my room when I found no lettuce or tomatoes. Having been behind the wheel for 6 hours, I couldn't muster the energy to go back. The ahi was very thin but tasty and fries were soggy. In hindsight I saw the cashier open up my box twice before placing in the bag. If only she did the right thing. Last time I tip sight unseen. read more

Burger was good, but drive through is very slow compared to places like In n Out. The drive through intercom also was not working and i had to phone in to let them know I was picking up my order. They don't have curb side pickup and I'm disabled which is why I went through the drive through. I could picture my burger sitting on the counter for over 10 minutes while waiting behind just two other cars. The staff is friendly though. read more

Ordered the grilled chicken sandwich. I asked for no lettuce or bbq and they put both on there. Also this sandwich is horrible. The chicken is so thin hardly anything. Pathetic and over priced. read more

Best place in Buellton for drive thru - hands down!!! I'm a creature of habit and I swing by this location every Thursday for lunch. I always order the Santa Barbara Cobb Salad with a side of ranch and It's always so delicious and satisfying. The workers here always greet me and are very nice and fast to get my food paid for and in my hands despite the busy lunch hour time. Insider tip: get there 15 min before 12 or after 12:45 to beat the rush! Highly recommend for a quick and healthier lunch since the SB Cobb salad is topped with boiled egg, bacon, chopped tomato and of course yummy avocado! It's very filling and does not leave you hungry as sometimes fast food can leave you. Try this salad it's not to disappoint! read more

Went there a few days and cleanliness and staff customer service was amazing definitely give it a try and the food was great.

Always a fresh burger. Made exactly as I want it. Fries are never cold. Great staff that work there. Great value for my money

My husband and I stopped here for a quick lunch before checking into our hotel in Solvang. We've actually never eaten at the Habit before so we figured why not try it out. The drive thru service was pretty quick. We ordered some burgers for ourselves and a kids grilled cheese for our daughter. The burgers were good, but not great. I definitely don't think it's worth the price considering the burgers don't come with fries or a drink. read more

Not impressed with the service at this location. Ordered a couple Santa Barbara Cobb salads and green beans online for pick-up and arrived at the time the order was supposed to be ready. Nothing had been started and had to wait 15 minutes for the food to be prepared. Very unorganized and they were out of bags so I had to juggle my order out to the car. Food was good, but service was not. Lack of teamwork and very disorganized. read more

I have always dined inside and it's always been great, hence the "yes" recommendation. Just now was my first drive thru, and since I couldn't find a way to contact them directly I'm resorting to Yelp. Terrible service. (My onion rings were perfect.) The window was slammed shut before I could ask for ketchup, then shut again before I could say "and salt." No customer should be made to feel that they are an imposition. Ever. read more

Longest wait ever in the drive thru. 3 cars ahead and 35 minutes later we got our food, missing one of the items, to top it off. I've never sat so long in a drive thru line... even In n Out on its busiest day is faster. Now I remember why I never go to The Habit. read more

40 mins in the drive thru for a kids meal and a diet coke. There were two cars ahead of us. At 2pm on a Wednesday. If your children are sleeping, or you cannot get out of the car. Maybe a good idea. Otherwise I would not recommend unless you're trying to kill time. read more

Great vegetarian and vegan options. Excellent and friendly staff. Great atmosphere and delicious food!

First time eating here. Ordered the Santa Barbara char and the double char. The Santa Barbara was missing the avocado for some reason and the bun was stale on the double char. It took forever to get our food through the drive thru, but the food was not hot, the fries were cold. I won't be back. read more
