The fried tempura green beans are great. I liked Habit Burger fries when they first opened. I'm not sure if they changed their fries or how they fry them or what they fry them in, but it would be great to know that info. I think the Burger in Habit Burger has not been prioritized and the regular charburger seems to have dropped in quality. The sandwich with chicken, avocado, and bacon was good. They have also started handing the payment slider to people in the drive thru, with the first screen asking the customer to tip. This is the first time I have experienced it at Habit, and I don't know if it is a new policy, but I will be taking my business elsewhere. People can tip inside, but this is a bad policy to have every business CEO ask the customer to pay the living wages of their employees. CEOs can redistribute their own salary to the frontline workers. An order of fried tempura green beans and a charburger with no cheese was just under $13. The green beans were great. I think the charburger can use some attention at that price. read more

Ordered a teriyaki char and bbq char meal. The teriyaki char came with no pineapple the BBQ char had no crispy onion strings and instead had raw onions. The fries were cold. The worker said they were out of pineapple and crispy oinion strings. Thats the signature or those 2 burgers. So she tried just passing it off hoping we would not notice. Asked for a refund the lady was very rude and refused to refund my money. Had to talk to a manager and the worker didnt want to get me a manager No phone number to call corporate. This place is absolutely horrible! Paid 28.38 and ate nothing. I have never been to a place with employees this rude. I will NEVER be back here again, and highly recommend you dont go here. read more

As usual, no one is in the parking lot and there's one car in front of me and I've been sitting in line for 20 minutes. They should not have a drive-thru. They don't know what the concept of fast food means and they almost always get at least one thing in my order wrong and I place very simple non-convoluted orders read more

Bad Job! I ordered 2 burgers - one w/ cheese, lettuce, tomato, burger and nothing else, the other w/ cheese, lettuce, tomato, bacon, and a tiny portion of mayo, and nothing else. Fries w/ one order, 1/2 fries and 1/2 onion rings with the other. To Go. When I got the order home, BOTH burgers had pickles on them, one had grilled onions too, and the bacon was on the wrong burger. The Chico location of Hamburger Habit has made mistakes on 2 of my last 3 orders. The food isn't bad, but I think I'm done with this location. Total bill was $27. I hate to leave another bad review - but it's the honest truth. The service was very friendly, they just botched the order - again. read more

The habit has a great steak sandwich! Great service and decent prices.... The steak was marinated and cooked medium well!

$18 for this meal before tax is just INSANE And then to be missing avocado and bacon read more

Habit Burger & Grill - Chicken Club - Salad Near Me - Chico, California

One, had to order from a screen, but whatever. Two, waited 20 minutes for a burger, a wrap, and 2 fries. The "server" called out the food order at the counter and walked away before I could even get up, had to flag her down again to get the 2 drink cups that I also paid for. Then I realized the chicken wrap was missing the chicken, had to flag the girl down again to let her know, and she said they would remake it, 10 minutes later we just left because they were too busy mopping the floors (at 130 in the afternoon?!?)to worry about their mistake (while another customer was trying to flag someone down because his fries were cold). Wish I had checked the reviews before I bothered coming because this seems to be their standard of service. Boo. read more

on 4/08/26: purchased a BAJA FISH SANDWICH for $11.99, small sandwich for that price! The onion rings were overcooked, and the ranch dressing was NOT included. Also purchased a Santa Barbara Cobb salad. I asked that NO bacon be added to the salad. They said, "No problem." In my photo are all the bacon pieces I picked off. For religious reasons, I do not eat pork. They should have told me they would "pick off" the bacon. This restaurant has slid further and further since its opening. Prices keep going up, and the quality keeps going down. Corporate promised some "Char Tickets" to compensate for the poor experience, which was on 4/11/26, nada, didly squat from corporate. No call back as requested! How are they staying in business in Chico???? read more

The burgers here are awesome! Everyday when I pass by the long line at the In-N-Out Burger I just can't figure it out? Have those people not tried the habit yet? Because I assure them if they tried The Habit they would be going there and making a long line. The burgers are so much better than In-N-Out! Their fries and onion rings are the bomb! I just think not enough people know about The Habit yet and that's why it hasn't taken off. If you love burgers, fries and onion rings you've got to go and try The Habit. You won't be disappointed. I first tried them when I went to Idaho and back then there was nothing in California. But now there is and it's located on Cohasset Road. All I'm asking is trying them out one time, if you don't like them then don't return but I assure you you're going to love them!!! Best Char burgers ever!!! read more

Ahh, I literally yelp everything and should've yelped this place but I was tired and just got off of work. Ordered chicken nuggets and green bean tempura. Waited about 10 mins and saw who I learned to be the MANAGER bagging many bags of food - including my own - with the same pair of gloves he used to exchange money and wipe counters. Even his staff did the same. He gave me my food, I asked him pretty much why he did that and he turned around saying I'll make you another. NO, I'd like a refund and he played w the register for a moment and said it'll take a few days to issue back bc he has to get authorization or something that really made no sense at all. Then when I asked for proof that I requested a refund and that I actually didn't take the meal he spent 10 minutes "looking" for my receipt on the computer. Mind you, it was like 9p i think & there weren't more than 10 ppl ordering thru the drive thru after me and only 1 other person dining in.. I ended up disputing it w my bank. I made a complaint to Butte dpmt of public health and submitted feedback to speak w regional manager and of course no one will connect me w their regional manager lol. They did respond to the feedback offering what sounded like a gift card back to Habit. V delusional to think after going thru this I'd be interested in eating here ever again in my life. Even worse bc my job deals w public health & hygiene. You guys be safe out there w foodborne illness. Ppl die from that everyday. Poor service, poor ambiance, and I assume the food is poor too. 0-1/5. read more

I hadn't been to the habit in over a year because my first visit there was not very good. Finally I gave it another shot tonight. I went through the drive-through and after waiting for 10 minutes, french fries were cold and my soda had some foreign object in it. How in the world can this happen which makes the habit two for two for bad visits read more

DO NOT EAT HERE On 11/15/25 around 9-10pm , I went through the drive through and ordered a patty melt with a side of fries. I was told to pull to the front of the store to wait for my order . I got home and ate the food , woke up the next morning projectile vomiting and diarrhea, immediately knew it was food poisoning from the habit I had the night before. I don't know if these people are being sanitary or anything , but I do not feel good. I wouldn't recommend eating here ! read more

Habit Burger & Grill - Salad Near Me - Chico, California

After going to several habits, which were always amazing, it made me realize how poorly ran this one was. There's such little staff for a huge restaurant serving 100,000 people community. The food was always decent but after going to other habits, their food was always top quality compared to how rushed this one was. It used to be great but now it's in the gutter and it's really heartbreaking read more

I have ordered from here a few times and it is hit or miss on if they follow the instructions. Today they did not and gave me a salad with everything I told them not to give me. I couldn't eat it because of the allergens. read more

Well, you don't wanna try this habit. It is about the grossest thing you've ever seen. We were going through there and we wanted a couple things and they were at their door was closed but they said well come on in. We'll fix some stuff we went and got a hamburger And some fries, the fries were so wilted. You cannot believe the hamburger all it had on it was onions and a little bit of something hamburger. read more

Here's background on the Habit Burger if you didn't know or haven't tried. About The Habit Restaurants, Inc. Born in Santa Barbara, California in 1969, The Habit Burger Grill is a burger-centric, fast-casual restaurant concept that specializes in preparing fresh, cooked-to-order chargrilled burgers and handcrafted sandwiches featuring grilled tenderloin steak, grilled chicken and sushi-grade ahi tuna cooked over an open flame. In addition, it features fresh handcrafted salads and an appealing selection of sides and shakes. The Habit Burger Grill was named the "best tasting burger in America" in July 2014 in a comprehensive survey conducted by one of America's leading consumer magazines, named in Thrillist's list of "Underrated Burger Chains that Need to be in Every State!" and featured in Newsweek's "America's Favorite Restaurant Chains 2022." I'm in Chico visiting a friend and hear there's a brand new Habit Burger location here in Chico. I've been a fan of Habit for years and will say, yeah, they beat the heck outta In N Out if you can find one. I misses the free burgers at the grand opening but no biggie, I know they have fantastic food here. My fave and regular order is the Double Charburger with cheese and grilled onions added. FREE grilled onions as with most toppings except bacon are free. These burgers are charbroiled over flames to give them that distinct seared meat flavor you just can't get at In N Out or fried on a flat top griddle. My order of a Double Charburger with cheese and fries came up fast. You get a buzzer to let you know when to pick it up. If anything is not right with your order, you just let them know and it'll be fixed right away. That first bite into that burger is just amazing, the way the flavors just meld in your mouth and the juicy goodness bring a blanket of happiness down upon your head .... yeah it's that good! Fries were hot and crispy, no limp fries here! Chico, you guys are lucky to get a Habit Burger. My closest is in Redding. read more

Will never go back. Waited in line for 15min. I get low staffing but this was a little excessive. Waiting for the new Chick Filet to come

Team member at this location was rude. I waited at the drive thru window to pick up my food and waited there for about 15 minutes. Nobody acknowledged me and said we'll be right with you or anything. I watched the two team members continue to take orders and make things for the dine in orders while ignoring my meal for 15 minutes. The team member finally came to window and had a bad attitude so i asked nicely"r u guys short staff?" This team member looked at me like i was crazy and said "yeah we usually are" and then i said "okay that makes sense because i was about to leave" and he then gave me a crazy look and swung his neck and said "OKAY???!!!" HOW RUDE! No apology no nothing!!! This place hires people with horrible attitudes and has long waits! Never coming back. He was a white male with brown hair, 5'8, working the drive thru at 6:20 ish on 2/7/26 read more

Don't normally eat here and apparno one else does either because they had to issue free sandwiches in a mailer to the community. Thought we'd give them a shot, since we get a free sandwich. Went inside and tried the kiosk ordering which did not accept the coupon. Saw three workers making food one addressed us and said they'd be right there, another five minutes of making food and they said again they would come over to help...waited another 3-4 minutes watching them make food and we walked out the door with no one even attempting to serve us! Saw 2 small families inside and 2 cars in the drive thru. Not too busy but apparent they didn't need my business! read more

Pros: - Friendly and attentive staff Cons: - Food poorly prepared - Wrong item in takeout order - French fries are bland and boring - Extremely expensive for fast food My last two takeout orders have had problems. On one order the bun on my Charburger was so over-toasted that it was charcoal black in color and ruined the taste of my burger. On the other order I was given the wrong chicken salad and, to add insult to injury, that salad wasn't even made correctly and was missing ingredients. If you are going to charge $12 for a salad and $9 for a burger you need to at least get the basics correct which this location doesn't seem capable of doing. read more

2 for 2: both times let down. We saw 3 workers, working hard and tons of customers. Waited 30 mins for food. Burger was lukewarm, bun was old, almost chewy and the fries tasted like wet powder on the inside and nuked on the outside. Super disappointed for a $15 dollar meal. The first time was a salad, wilted, terrible. It's a bummer. Was really hoping for a delicious burger. read more

If I could give no stars I absolutely would. Just ordered a late night DoorDash craving, burger and a milkshake. I'm eating my burger, all is well it tastes fine. Then a few bites in I bite down on something hard. A toothpick. A toothpick was in my burger. It looks a bit burnt, which almost makes me think it was cooked into the burger itself. I've worked fast food before I know how many steps go into a burger before it's bagged and sent out. And in none of those steps was a literal toothpick in my burger found???? Are you kidding me?! read more

What's the point of a drive thru when they tell u to wait in the parking lot for 2 orders.

So we tried the habit in Chico last night for the first time and I got a burger with cheese, the regular combo and my lovely man got a Santa Fe cobb with instead of chicken he got a burger patty (not much meat) it was good. I mean we got two meals out of it. the salad was big so we're going to eat that tonight for dinner again adding more meat but I'm going to say the burger was super salty like I couldn't even taste the flavor of the charbroil because it was so salty But not bad I mean it was good. It was a good burger but I'm gonna give it three stars because it wasn't the best burger I've had in town still I love the oasis. read more

The new spicy chicken sandwich is phenomenal. Also the apple pie shake is to die for and the perfect new thing for fall. Service was very quick, as always, and their establishment is as cozy as it's ever been. read more

Today I went to this place for the first time. I had never tried it before. Yikes! Sadly, some of the worst food I've ever tasted. I bought one of their burgers, and their Santa Barbara Cobb Salad. The burger was greasy, messy, and tasted bland and burnt. Carl's Jr., Burger King, In-and-Out, Wendy's, and pretty much any other fast food place has better-tasting burgers. Hate to say it, but this place is basically bottom of the barrel as far as food quality goes. The salad tasted even worse. The lettuce was gross, tasted like it was expired, the bacon tasted weird, and rubbery. The chicken tasted weird as well, and it was about as bad as the meat from the burger. The dressing they provided was watery, tasted strange, was too salty, and made the salad taste mushy and watery as well. That being said, the service was 50/50. The gal at the drive through speaker was a bit snappy and seemed impatient, and she was rude to the guy behind me (I overheard him ordering, when I was pulling up towards the pick-up window). The guy at the pick-up window was actually very polite, so that was the only good part of the experience. Guess I'm never eating at that place again, I mean wow lol read more

My favorite burger has finally made its way to my city. Having recently moved to Chico from Santa Barbara, I was fairly disappointed to see that their burger restaurant options were lacking. Imagine my excitement when I learned that Santa Barbara's best spot would be opening up. I grew up there before The Habit was even a chain and have fond childhood memories of biting into a char burger. The food at this new location tastes just like home. The venue is in a new building on the north side of town with easy freeway access and a drive-thru. While private parking isn't very ample, the lot still does have several spots. It's located on a busy road with good visibility. The restaurant itself is well-designed and clean with lots of seating along with a front patio. Service was wonderful and I could tell the staff were going the extra mile to make my experience a positive one. For being such a new place, I was impressed by the level of service. My food tasted excellent too. No frills for me, just their standard burger - but I will say the salads are also remarkable. I was also intrigued by their limeade selection. It was the perfect pairing. I can't wait to come back. read more

I have never heard of "The Habit" before. The establishment stands out as you drive down Cohasset and makes you want to stop in! I actually had no idea there was a drive-thru in the back. I decided to park and head in for a burger. I ordered the Santa Barbara Char & an order of Tempura Green Beans. It was 4pm on a Sunday and the line was to the door. This place newly opened up so that's not a surprise. I waited not long at all before I was up at the register. I thought it was cool they offered other things on the menu that weren't just burgers. They have a Chicken Club, Tenderloin Steak and even an Ahi Tuna Filet amongst other things. They even have a Vegan sandwhich which my friend will be pleased to hear! I thoroughly enjoyed my meal; Everything was hot and fresh and absolutely delicious. Keep up the good work guys! Thank you so much! read more
