Love this place! My family went here for dinner, service was fast and convenient. The moment I stepped in here I knew things were going the right way. I quickly ordered my food and sat down at an empty table. I'm taking of a star since my dad ordered a charburger with cheese but they didn't give him cheese. It kinda sucks to order something and not get it also the meat patties were too dry. This place has a great variety of sodas and a bar full of peppers. Great place but watch out for different orders. read more

1) Overpriced 2) Small portions 3) Unfriendly staff 4) Charge extra for sauces (seriously, who does that!?!?) I got a Chicken Club that had a small piece of chicken, one piece of lettuce, barely any avocado (maybe 1/4 worth) and the sourdough bread was rock hard to where it cut the roof of my mouth. The few bites I took tasted good (but it had bacon so... of course) but it was underwhelming for a $12 sandwich. Plus the fries taste the kind they serve at a high school football game. To top it off, my 11 yo daughter wanted another container of ranch (because one is not nearly enough for their dry-ass chicken nuggets (which are mostly bread btw)) and the manager behind the counter wanted to charge her $.65 per extra container. I just dropped almost $60 for 4 people (one of those a kids meal) and you want to charge me for more sauce? Bruuuuuuuhhhhh. Then i went to go ask wtf you make my daughter almost cry for, the manager didnt apologize didnt try to sympathize, just stone faced "that is what everyone has to pay and that its a corporate thing". Just the principle of it makes me never want to go back (you listening, Raising Canes?) Not that it matters too much to me but nobody working there smiled. I felt kindof bad for them. Did not look like they enjoyed it at all. The only smile I got was from the cashier when she learned I was ordering from the screen so she didnt have to take my order. Look, if you want to troll In-N-Out and have it actually mean something... you gotta do better. Bottom line: waste of money. read more

Asked for a ranch and the guy said it would be 65 cents. This is the only Habit location that ever tried to charge me for ranch. On top of that, they overcook the buns and patties. Go to the Tustin location if you want a better tasting Habit. read more

We usually eat at Shake Shack, but wanted to try Habit since we've never been before. We decided on the veggie burger and the charburger. Both were delicious, the charburger meat was tender, but not quite as good as the crisp we like at Shake Shack. The veggie burger was actually better than Shake Shack. The patty had a firmer texture and just had better taste. The pricing was slightly cheaper than Shake shack so it was a better value overall. The inside was comfy, but we couldn't find a clean table, which were not wiped so we had to clean it ourself. One unique thing we noticed was the additional toppings bar, nothing we would put on, but something extra. Service was good. The only other feedback I had was that not everyone cares for alternative music so playing it loud may not suit everyone. I am okay with it, but it does create a certain type of feel that I don't believe is beneficial, especially noticing the diversity of customers. Earlier, I was in another fast casual place and they played more mainstream rock/pop and that usually fades into the background a bit better than obvious alternative genre. Otherwise, we'll be happy to come back in the future. read more

Habit Burger & Grill on Culver has been our go to for a long time. Yesterday was a fiasco. My husband waited patiently to get our To-Go order. When he dropped it off both hamburgers were burnt and so were the buns. It felt like a tough bite of nothing. I tried calling the restaurant then was directed to write a complaint online. There was a glitch in the system and it would not submit properly. We have tried to reach out. You definitely need a new cook. Our $38 was wasted. Well tempura green beans and sweet potato fries were our dinner, and the rest went in the trash. It's off to somewhere else we go.. skipping over Habit Burger & Grill until you do better. read more

I enjoy the taste of the burgers here and I like that they have a nice selection of condiments. They recently also added more side options including a tempura green beans which I tried this time as it's slightly healthier than fries lol. The reason they got a lower star rating from me today is the slow service and temperature of food. I ordered from the mobile app for the first time as requested a pickup time since I was on a time crunch for lunch. I arrived a few minutes early to check in and was told to wait for text notification. Turns out they were behind so I got my food 11 minutes after the original pickup time while standing by the counter so I saw my food before the text. I immediately sat down to eat and unfortunately the food was already cold. This means the kitchen cooked it but food wasn't packed promptly. read more

I love coming to this location, the food is always hot, comes out fast and the employees always have a great attitude... amazing

Made sure there were enough veggies though. I know the cook saw this and thought "oh well" read more

Habit Burger & Grill - Chicken Club - Burgers Near Me - Irvine, California

$9 special is a " lip cutting" hard like a rock with over fried potatoes with a long wait time unless it is a take out . Never eat there again ! read more

Staff: We ordered through the kiosk so there was limited interaction. However they were nice when we picked up our food, and when we left they all said goodbye. Quality/Quantity: The restaurant is spacious, nicely laid out, and clean overall. One of the tables we were going to sit at had a few French fries on the ground. Other than that it was a clean restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious as I've come to expect from the Habit. They've consistently been one of my favorite hamburger places. Value: Pricing was in line with what you'd expect nowadays. Overall: If in the area we'd come back again. Sorry no food pics but we were all starving so no time to take pics. read more

The shake was so good the little brownie bits are yummy!

We visited Habit Burger & Grill and ordered a few items. The food service was a bit slow. When we got the chicken nuggets, two pieces were very small with no meat inside. When we asked for a replacement, the staff said the sizes vary, but my wife showed them the piece with no meat. They ended up replacing all of them. The food quality needs further improvement. The first experience was not good, and we're not interested in going back. read more

I went to the Habit on Milpas, in Santa Barbara this evening and could not wait to get home and write this review. When the hell did they start serving such miserable food. We ordered their new Korean Salad and not one item in the salad seemed fresh. The lettuce was wilted and tasted like only the stems were used. Tomatoes were the type you would throw away. Just horrible, horrible, horrible ! Chicken was way over cooked, as is usual for the Habit. Don't even think about trying it ! My Double Charburger tasted like shoe leather. How that could be rated the #1 fast food burger is beyond belief. No wonder In n out is packed with cars. They nickel and dime you for every sauce you may want to have with your meal as well. They should be ashamed to serve the food they are serving. I will never go back to that place. read more

I did get an email from habit burger corporate customer service following this review and they offered an apology and some gift certificates to reimburse me. It was a nice gesture and I'm happy to see that they have a mechanism to follow up on their mistakes. Thanks Habit Burger. read more

The Charburger is one of my favorite fast food burgers so I love to visit The Habit from time to time. Their sandwiches and side items are also really delicious. Tip: If you sign up for emails and texts, they'll send you a bunch of promo deals like BOGO. read more

This is my second review here. Last time I said I wouldn't come back, but I decided to give it one more try. Yesterday on my way home, I stopped by and picked up 2 burgers and fries. After about 15 minutes drive home, I opened the bag and realized they gave me a completely different order, a big sandwich and some fried beans. Even though I was already home, I had to get back in the car and drive all the way back. I checked the bag again, and it clearly had my name with 2 burgers and 1 fries on it. When I got there (after dealing with traffic again), the same guy who looked like a manager was still there. I told him the order was wrong, and he just said, "Oh, we gave you Santa Barbara? Just give me two minutes," and quickly remade it. But honestly, I expected at least a simple apology. I still had to drive all the way back home again, and at that point I was thinking maybe I should've just eaten what they gave me instead of wasting another 30 minutes. I also thought if my order got switched, someone else's order might've been messed up too, but they just threw it away in the trash can. Next time I'll just check everything before leaving. My mistake, I guess. read more

My 3 year old daughter loves Habit burger. Therefore, we come here a lot. Their kids meals include a regular size burger with just ketchup ( can add cheese), fries, a drink, and a gummy burger. They have booster chairs and highchairs. In general, I mostly get the charburger with cheese. I like their buns more than In-N-Out. Also, the interior of Habit is more inviting. I recently tried the Teriyaki char and that was also delicious. Their fries are not as crisp as I would like, but other than that they make a solid burger. They have lots of promotions if you sign up for their Habit email list and download the app. read more

Yesterday, I went to get dinner, they were very busy. I try there double cheese burger and onion rings. It was favorable and fresh. And the service was very friendly at the register and giving me my food. I will be back. read more

Bought 2 cheese burgers and they wouldn't even include 1 sauce, they charge $.65 for each sauce. Used to come here a lot but they raised prices and nickel and dime the crap out of you. A basic cheese burger is $7.50 before tax, no sides, no sauces. Update, the burger is effing gross. Look. Bottom was like a soggy diaper. TLDR; disgusting & rip off read more

Coming from the East Coast, we don't have as many fast food burger chains, so this was my first time at The Habit. Overall, it was a solid experience. Service was quick and standard for fast food, which I appreciated. I tried the double char burger without tomato--no complaints at all. It was a big burger, though definitely on the heavier side (as most fast food burgers are). I got it on a $1 promo deal, so for that price, it was totally worth it. Would I get it again? Probably only if there's another deal like that. The real standouts were the extra crispy fries and the chicken bites with hot pepper sauce, something I'd come back for. If you're looking for a quick meal, those two are solid picks. Overall, a good first impression and glad I finally got to try it! read more

I'm usually a fan of this Habit location but when I was picking up my order I noticed they had a some sort of robot/machine at the grill either seasoning, timing, or flipping the meat or all three. I got the chicken sandwich and it was the saltiest and driest chicken I've ever had in my life. The texture was literally like sandpaper. Stop trying to avoid paying human workers and get rid of your terrible machine. read more

I used to eat at the Habit burger 4-5 times a week and i loved it. At one point they started to charge for every little thing such as sauces or dressing. I still would go every so often but i went tonight and the portion size and quality of food has gotten so bad i decided to delete the app since i wont be going back. It's sad because this was like a second kitchen to me i would go there so often. I would give them another chance but it is owned by a big corporation i know it wont get better. read more

Always delicious and customer service is pretty good too but always check your bag to make sure your order is correct other than that you cannot go wrong. The salads are equally as good as the burgers! read more

Ordered on DoorDash put no tomato they added tomato still. I put no tomato because it is an allergy. Called the restaurant and Maria put me on hold after I asked if she can remake it and send it with my other order if it hasn't been sent out yet, then she hung up on me. Extremely unprofessional and disappointing. Will never be back to this habit. Customer service and customer care is absolutely horrible. read more

We sat on the patio and had our hamburgers. We also shared temporary green onineans rings, and french fries. Everything was fresh delicious and flavorful probably fattening, but it was so delicious. We all couldn't stop eating! read more

Once in awhile I will eat at this Habit Burger & Grill specifically for either their Santa Barbara Char or their Tuna Filet. But this time for a limited time only they have a Sirloin Steak sandwich which I decided to try. It was really good. I hope they decide to keep it as a regular on their menu. Service has always been very fast at this location. Also, what i really like about this place is how clean this place is. The employees really make an effort keeping this place clean. I watched an employee handling the cash register and when he switched over to help a customer with her complaint, he put on gloves before touching anything. Employees are always wiping things down. I also love their little condiment area. read more

My co-workers raved about hamburgers here so therefore, here I am writing this review. 50/50 coming back. I'd rather eat at Apollo Burger in Garden Grove. 2/5 stars for Charburger. It was small, no flavor with lettuces and 1 slice of tomato First time trying and probably last. 2/5 stars for French Fries. It felt like old fries and did not taste fresh at all. The inside is very spacious and clean. Staff was cordial. I LOVE the peppers/jalepenos bar. That's probably the best part of the Habit experience. : ) Parking - it's inside the big Culver shopping plaza so plenty of parking, especially at night. read more

Paid 25.00 for food that was inedible. The shake was good. The habit on bernal is much better.

I had a previous bad experience at this location but today 7/26 at around 1:45pm, I want to commend their manager Maria who gave me and other guests great customer service. She was hustling taking care of customers, cleaning the trays, ringing up guest but she was still proving world class customer service. Kudos to Maria. You guys need to have other managers watch how Maria run the restaurant. Kudos. read more

There are cockroaches in the restaurant. Not small ones but at least 2.5 inches long. The service was fine they were nice but the restaurant was dirty. Needed to be mopped trash all over and MULTIPLE COCKROACHES! - I ordered online so I waited for my food but I'm not coming back. UPDATE: they also messed up my order I said no mayo and no onions and they had both and no extra pickles I'm very disappointed read more

Love coming to this Habit, the food is always tasty. The service is great! Everyone is always welcoming!

Thank you Raxel for your amazing customer service. You made my visit here a sweet one.

No matter how many trendy burger joints pop up with brioche buns and $18 patties topped with truffle fog and unicorn tears, The Habit still holds it down as the best burger spot in the area. The chargrilled flavor? Iconic. That smoky sear hits different--it's like they trained the grill to read your taste buds' dreams. The burgers are juicy, the veggies are crisp, and the toasted buns? Perfection. It's fast, fresh, and doesn't require a second mortgage. Fries? Solid. Onion rings? Dangerous in the best way. And don't sleep on their Santa Barbara Char--it's a double burger with avocado read more

Very poor service. They ignore customers while staff talking to each other then pressure you to tip after behaving rudely.

Good food and the place is kept clean so eating there is pleasant.. Staff cares to provide service.

Order was incorrect even though I emphasized the order back. Service was slow, first time drive thru but based on how they prioritize to-go orders, doesn't seem like their drive thru is a good idea. read more

The atmosphere is excellent. The place is fast food but doesn't feel like fast food. They do this with a very warm and friendly dining area. Their choices are simple. The food is excellent. The service is good. You order and sit down. They will call you to come up and get your food. My only wish is for more low calorie items. I just love the Santa Barbara Char, but it is huge. Perfect to share with someone. I wish they had a light menu. The Habit is one of the best places around. read more
