THE BEST SPOT !!! First time trying this place, I got the onion rings, and strawberry shake !!! 10/10!! The staff is very kind and I've never seen a restaurant be so clean like this before. Maria was the person who helped me today, because of her service and the food quality I will 100% be back !! read more

So we went there the other day for lunch and I love the habit, and like many other establishments they have cut back on their employee account and would prefer that we the customer order on a board and do all that which I just don't like. The server that day was all by herself I believe her name was.Kaeuna. Just the short time we were there. This is how amazing she was. She probably handled six people in a line 6 people waiting to pick up food and a couple of Uber eats or whatever all by herself with a smile and when she called my name to pick up the food because they had run out of their little buzzers that tell you, your food is ready. She added an extra order of french fries just to say sorry it took a little time. It was above and beyond great service. read more

SUPERB in friendly customer service; quality and fresh ingredients; and affordable healthy salads which Jose prepares with attention to detail. As such, please enjoy the delicious salad which I have shared a picture of. This will be my new favorite healthy and quick dinner option. And P.S. the BEST part Abdul was so considerate to offer a water for my service dog as we dined outside. read more

I have realized how many of these reviews I actually owe Maria & team. We are always treated kindly and with respect. Please be very careful when using apps to order. Pay very close attention that the app you are using did not switch the pick up location on you last minute. Instacart has gotten me a few times already (so embarrassing). Again a 10 star team has been the experience no matter what. read more

Saul was very kind! The vibes of this place are very warm and inviting. The positive energy of the team (even though it was an hour from closing!) was a breath of fresh air. The food was absolutely perfect! Lovely place to eat. The Blue Wave Shake is amazing btw, tastes like the blue Go-Gurts from when I was a kid! read more

Excellent burger - consistent and always delicious. I really enjoyed the double char burger

Love the Habit! We order the charburgers once/week or so. We started getting the green beans based on a recommendation, and we were NOT disappointed. No more fries for us! Tonight we ordered the chicken club in addition to the burgers. Sadly, there was no chicken on half the sandwich. Will stick to what we know and love next time. read more

I'm a big fan of fast food, not many places I'll go, but Habit is good, especially compared to most burger places. I like the Santa Barbara because of the sourdough bread instead of bun, and the addition of avocado. That's fairly unique. I also like their sweet potato fries, crunchy and lately salted on the outside and soft on the inside. I do wish the patties filled out the bread a little better read more

I love the Habit. Just not THIS Habit. I have been here twice, 4 years apart. First time had an awful smell and super slow service. I told myself I'd never come back. Then I was in a pinch today and decided to give it a try again. More than 20 minutes to receive my order. I don't know how this place has remained so consistently subpar for years but I will not be back. read more

Reasons this place sucks now - No more human interaction, orders are taken only by kiosk. - Then the kiosk recommends you tip anyway. - Kitchen employees speak no english, or pretend not to when you try to speak with them. - Pure chaos, orders take forever to cook, and then get hidden behind counter - until you demand your food, then you get a blank stare from employee. - Theres an ongoing social party back in the kitchen where not much is getting done. It reminded me of watching Spanish language I Love Lucy reruns on Telemundo. Go to in and out. read more

Ehhh..!! No big deal, nothing great about it, tasted similar to Carl's Jr or Burger King, but I like Carls and Burger King's flavors better. No customers in there, no happy faces... guess everyone is struggling. read more

I got to give props for this location because I'm always modifying my burgers or chicken sandwiches with different additions and subtractions or substitutions and the personnel there gets it perfect every time. read more

My veggie burger wasn't even cooked...it was lukewarm outside and cold in the center. The honey mustard sauce was so watery non stayed in the burger but rolled down the sandwich. Did they change the veggie patty because it tastes completely different. The charburger was dry and lukewarm as well. They charge 65 cents for water downed ranch. Customer service was lackluster. I don't recommend this location. Better off driving to Carlsbad or getting Luna grill. read more

I ordered food on-line but i made a mistake with the pick up time! I called within one min & i was told they can't change the pick up time or cancel the order so i can re-do-it again she said that's not possible either. My first order and the last in this place! We will have a cold dinner and we are surround by other great restaurants here! read more

First of all it took 30 minutes to make one burger when there was like 2 people in the restaurant. Second of all the burger was low tier

Nice setting inside, no line, food was tasty. Music too loud probably cause no is seating inside to drown the music. There are tables outside to sit too . read more

Great burger and fries... I'm vegetarian so I love the vege meal. Quick service, easy to get condiments when you want more, and love the fries. read more

I will never go back. I made an online order and when I showed up to pick up my order they figured out that it was accidentally given to someone else. No problem. Stuff happens. So I asked for a refund and they told me they couldn't give me my money back in the store but I had call customer service. Weird, but I left and called. Customer service let me know I needed to send an email for a rebursement of my money. Strange considering I didn't get my food and I'm just asking for my money back but I sent the email. That was 2 weeks ago. No response. No refund. Nodda. What a complete joke of a company. I didn't get any food and I'm out $30. Again, I'll never go to another Habit again and I highly encourage you to do the same until the start to care about their customers. read more

Went in there with a free burger coupon that I got at a different location for donating and was completely ignored by the cashier with black hair. I stood there for 10 minutes. The Cook in the back saw Me said she'll be right there. I can see in his eyes He knew she was completely ignoring me when she finally asked me what I would like to order Her attitude was so bad I decided to take my coupon and go next-door to Los taco. My request to your management train your cashiers get rid of this one. I will never go back read more

Employees and management are rude. They close the food services 30 minutes before they close and don't bother to lock the front door at the very least. Very unprofessional. read more

The burgers are really good my favorite is the barbecue bacon cheeseburger, but they are all really good burgers and the salads are excellent great place thank you read more

Great for a chain, pretty consistent and they have a decent Cobb salad if you aren't feeling a burger.

The sweet potato fries were a mess!! The staff were unfriendly and the strawberry lemonade was so sour. I even vomited after I got home. That was the second time I was dissatisfied with the habit burgers grill in Encinitas. Sorry I had to be honest. read more

Pretty gross. I came in because I had a charbroil coupon for a free charbroiled burger with cheese. They still don't have gluten-free buns, which is crazy to me so I got my burger wrapped in lettuce. The American cheese is gross. The sweet potato fries were soggy and even though I had just gotten the order when it was handed to me for some reason, they were cold. I think this is probably one of the worst burgers I've ever had and the disgusting bright yellow American cheese isn't helping.. the other coupon for the free burger is going in the garbage. It didn't taste charbroiled it tasted like tasteless. Nothing with gross cheese on top. The tomato was fresh. The ranch dressing is good but a little runny for a dipping sauce in general I wouldn't bother coming back read more

I love eating at habit the green beans and the salads are amazing this particular day there was a girl working her name was Kiana I think she was the manager her customer service was amazing thank you Kiana we will be back soon read more

This place was empty. And I ordered at the kiosk because there was one person at the counter. And here it is 12 minutes later and no food. It took another five minutes to get the burgers up . Santa Barbara burger was so salty I couldn't fathom a second bite. It took 15 minutes in an empty place to give us cold, french fries and two burgers, one of which was inedible. Although my wife loved her burger. We will not be coming back here again. They can't serve food hot and they can't serve food. That's tasty then it's wasted time. I have been here before, the one in San Marcos and I remember I didn't like it very much. But I thought I would try a different place. Big mistake. Was thrilled by the new hot french fries. I'm glad that my wife got them before she finished her hamburger. But they are so salty that I can't imagine why. Even my wife who loves salt says it's too salty. But at least a good burger. read more

Very disappointed! I have long enjoyed burgers from Habit. I just received a Postmates order for a plain cheeseburger and fries. The bun was rock hard and burger was burned to a crisp, it looked like onions were on there and the cheese was pulled off to get rid of the onions before it was wrapped, so no cheese on the plain cheeseburger. Fries were undercooked as well and the entire order was cold. No quality at all!!! read more

Ethan, the cashier needs more training. Not his fault. Just too many mistakes and the manager did little to help. Unfortunately, the manager became part of the crew instead of focusing on common tasks. I have no idea what The Habit Burger training for managers entails; however, the manager seemed to have blinders on as he was working instead of seeing the bigger picture. My order was wrong and I noticed two other guests taking their orders back as well as I sat outside eating. The restaurant was clean and the food was good, it was just wrong. Maybe easy fix? read more

Habit Burger & Grill - the counter and menus - Burgers Near Me - Encinitas, California

Being from California, I think we're obligated to vote In N Out as best fast food burger, but I actually like the Habit better. The sesame seed bun and the burger patty being a little thicker than In N Out's, plus the teriyaki char option all sway my vote, not to mention their milkshakes are better too-cookies n cream is my favorite. Yes it's a little pricier, but the size of the burger also makes up for that. The employees at this location are nice as and parking is easy read more

I remember when the habit came to San Diego and the burgers were reasonably priced. They were like 285 I know that's a while ago and the food tasted pretty good. I went in there about a month and a 1/2 ago. Here in Encinitas the burger was OK. I had the double I felt 9 and a 1/2 dollars as a lot of money for one burger and you could feel the vibe from the girl with the dark hair behind the counter. Was not good. Probably never be back again. I mean, why go here when I can go in and out?Get a double double for 6.57. read more

The front counter worker today was clearly unhappy. We've been here probably 30 times. Never been helped by her. Never had a bad experience. She was rude and unhelpful and could not care less about making people feel welcome or even be helping people. We felt unwelcome there. read more

Great burger spot. I came here while getting new tires at discount tire. The service was fast and they are taking Covid precautions serious. It was my first time at a habit burger. I loved their fries and burger was a little average but delicious. Next time I'm excited to try their fried chicken bites. They had indoor and outdoor seating options and service was very quick. You need to let the staff pour your drinks. read more

I have a sweet spot in my heart for the Habit. Being raised in Goleta was my privilege, and those who were lucky enough to grow up in this little bubble will have fond memories of the original "Old Habit" which is where it all started. Shortly after I moved to San Diego the bothers who built up of this restaurant, Brent and Bruce dropped the "Old" from the name and the rest is history. The explosive growth of Habit burger franchises makes me so happy and I feel like I am a part of the history. Back in the day they offered combo meals and even served beer of tap at the original location, which is so special that Brent and Bruce own those separate of the franchise to this day. The menu has changed, the Habit now offering line caught tuna instead of canned tuna, fresh salads and a variety of sides. Sandwiches can be wrapped in a multitude of buns or even lettuce to satisfy even the pickiest eaters. I have been to this location several times and always enjoy my meal. There was a little snafu last night and we ordered onion rings, sweet potato and traditional fries and they were undercooked. My tuna sandwich came a little overcooked with some tartar sauce that I did not order but I was able to eat most of it. Next time I will probably call it in instead of using the app so that I can ask for the fish rare and explicitly to avoid tartar sauce or pickles of any kind. Another cool thing about The Habit is the seasonal offerings on the menu, my favorite sides are the friend jalapeños and zucchini and I look forward to their return to the menu. Thank you Habit for all of the good memories and meals. read more

Went in for a quick bite. Service was a little slow and the food was unusually greasy. Ordered my usual when I go to the Habit. I was very disappointed and ended up throwing the food away. I ended up eating a mochinut for lunch. read more
