Went thru drive thru i ordered the Santa Barbra cob love that the chicken was nice and warm. The manager was very sweet she read my order to make sure it was correct. She also gave many recommendations that was in the menu I also had the chicken bites for my son he really enjoyed :) will come back for sure read more

This location is always consistent with orders, pick up orders are also super convenient! They unfortunately do not offer drive through pick up for your mobile orders however so plan to go inside to pick up! The ambience is pretty quiet, it's never rowdy, and the dining area is always well kept. The food is consistent to other locations, and overall experience is also consistent. The share the same shopping plaza as Walmart, Taco Bell, Starbucks, 99 ranch and Panda Express so it's a easy shopping plaza to pick a meal from! read more

Habit Burger & Grill - Charburger add pickles and onions! - Burgers Near Me - Irvine, California

Honestly, I've given this company a lot of business, overlooking the paper-thin grilled chicken and the fact they removed the Fuji Apple Vinaigrette from their menu. We drove through last night and it was the straw that broke the camel's back. Out came the POS touch screen asking for a tip. I'm so fed up with this ridiculous tipping culture. To The Habit management team and I say with all sincerity, you can take your tipping request touch screen and shove it straight up your ass. Customers are already paying a very fair, some would high price, for your food and now, even after minimum wage in California is $20.00 an hour for large chains, you've got the balls to toss a screen at us asking for a tip. Just for being handed a bag from a drive through window. Bullshit! Waiters and waitresses EARN their tips for countless trips to your table, a friendly chat, making sure you're happy and satisfied. NOT handing you bag through a window! And might I add with RSV now quite rampant, I'm supposed to handle a screen that countless others have touched, just prior to eating in our vehicle? Nope! I'm done with The Habit. I can tolerate small portions, I can put up with higher prices, but combine with this begging for a tip like a labrador retriever pawing at my leg for a scrap of food, and I'm out of here. The labrador, by the way, gets the scraps because he's loyal, protective and a member of the family. As for The Habit, they've simply become another once respectable fast food establishment searching for the highest possible profit whilst supplying the smallest, yet most profitable product. Amazon sells lube just in case that touch screen tipping pad a bit too large. read more

Pulled up to Habit after a long long absence. The charburger is still the star of the show that smoky, flame-grilled flavor is what sets it apart from your typical fast-casual burger. Simple, juicy, and consistent every time. Nothing overcomplicated, just done right. Sides were on point too. The onion rings came out crispy with a good crunch (not greasy), and the fries were exactly what you want -- hot, fresh, and salted just right. The chicken bites were actually a nice surprise; tender, flavorful, and a good option if you're not in a full burger mood. One thing that doesn't get talked about enough is their drink selection. They've got way more variety than your average spot, and it's nice being able to mix it up instead of the usual boring soda lineup. PEPINO LIMEADE FTW Overall, it's one of those dependable go-to spots when you want something quick but still satisfying. Not perfect, but consistently good and that's why it earns a solid 4 stars from me. read more

The Habit is fastly becoming a habit for me. Their ten dollar deal is amazing. It includes half a SB char, tempura beans, and chicken nuggets and a drink. The food value is off the charts. The staff is very friendly. The parking is easy. I just love the place. read more

Came here a couple of days ago to order a burger and the new fish sandwich along with the sweet corn tots. Everything was delicious. Especially the tots! Will be ordering them again. I was especially impressed with Rachael at the counter. She was friendly and nice during the whole ordering process. She's a real asset to this business. read more

Mrs. Yelper loves Habit. I can tolerate it. This time I got a triple "char" burger no cheese. Tolerable. At In-n-Out Mrs. Yelper asks for "double double no cheese." I don't have the heart to tell her. read more

Habit Burger & Grill - They charged me a staff tip without asking. This was in the drive thru too. - Burgers Near Me - Irvine, California

The Habit has really good burgers. I love their char cheeseburger and teriyaki burger. While In N Out is still my favorite due to its nostalgia, The Habit is like an upgraded version of In N Out. Their fries are good and my favorite has got to be the TEMPURA GREEN BEANS. The sweet potato fries are good also. The service is always great, and the worker even made sure she included bbq sauce to dip our fries. She went above and beyond. Happy eating! read more

Was in the area and thought to give The Habit another chance and we got two sandwiches and one order of fries. Sandwiches were bleh and fries were over salted. The cashier at the drive up window was rude and handed us a POS machine and said answer the question. With RSV going around, who wants to touch the dirty device?! The cashier was very rude and when asked what question we had to answer she ignored us. They are asking for a tip now! They haven't done away with this ridiculous method of handing people this little machine to add a tip. Never ever going back to The Habit. I had to give it one star. The Habit deserves 0 stars. Food and customer service is very poor. With thin and tough chicken, sandwich assembled incorrectly (club sandwich) and the female cashier wouldn't talk to us until we entered a tip on the POS screen. Ridiculous, downright stupid. read more

It's been a hot minute since I was last at a Habit. We ordered via the drive thru and there were two cars ahead of us. After we got our food, we drove home (5-7 mins) which is what I usually do when going to the Habit. My burger was okay, didn't taste quite the same as I remembered, but still, okay. It was the tempura green beans that I was SO disappointed in. Not only was the paper boat half full, but it didn't taste anything like I remembered. It had this strong oily taste and the texture was also different. What a huge let down. I don't know if it's just this particular location, but I'm not coming back to this one again. read more

Unfortunately this was the worst Habit I have ever been to. I generally select them over say Mickey Dees or Carls. But in this case I certainly wish I'd have swung by Carls!!! Ordered the bbq bacon cheese meal. Advertised for 12.49 plus .70 for cheese, but they charged me $15 49 or 99. Nothing else extra was added, just no onions. So that started off the disappointment. Second meal was same but changed fries to onion so they charged à la carte. So now I paid almost $38. And maybe it wouldn't have been so bad in my mind. Had I been able to taste any thing besides mayonnaise I never even seen the barbecue sauce? And one of the burgers we had to take apart to find the tiny end piece of bacon that was added.. They didn't have any cucumber drink made so that actually was the second disappointment because that was noticed prior to actually receiving my food. In fact, the quality was sadly lower than what I've ever experienced at the Habit burger and Grill locations.. Hence me taking the time to leave a review, This store is subpar to any location ever patronized, and I've eaten at the habit from Irvine all the way up to Lancaster! Everything else seemed to fall in line. The location was clean and looked like the rest of the stores just that site should probably be revisited for quality control. read more

Habit Burger & Grill - The empty container!!! - Burgers Near Me - Irvine, California

The burgers are good. Inconsistent, but good. The workers are shady. I got there at 9pm and the manager ran to the doors to lock it. The website says 10pm, yet she locked everything and told bunch of people trying to walk in or pick up their orders to go to drive thru. Even one worker that went outside to clear the trash was locked out and asked Jennifer. The manager, why it's locked. She and the cooks just told him to be quiet. And to make matters worse, they even removed the nozzles to the drinks. So you can't even get soda at 9:20pm. Horrible. The place is a shit show. No real management and obviously corporate doesn't do spot checks at night. This is why they will never beat in and out. Hey corporate, you might want to change your times on the website if you truly want to start closing at an hour early. read more

Habit Burger & Grill - People outside trying to pick up order or come in since the website says 10pm inside and 10:30 drive thru. - Burgers Near Me - Irvine, California

Half the menu was missing from the drive thru board, service was horrible (asked how they could help me then went silent after I asked a question and took 2 minutes to come back and ask for more time), came back and then said they couldn't hear me when I asked questions about the menu, then finally heard me and I just drove off because it was too annoying of a process to justify a $12 drive thru chicken sandwich. Absurd experience, parked and went to Jollibee inside of the seafood city instead. read more

Overall customer service was unacceptable. I noticed customers who ordered after me were getting there food before me. There was a group of three and one couple. I ordered for myself! I asked the employee working the counter/orders about this and she said "I don't know why" in a rude tone. She continued to ignore me, not looking into my order. So, I just walked away. Employees these days act like the customers are bothering them. read more

The restaurant was very clean and inviting. The cashier was pleasant and took my order eagerly. He was also knowledgeable of what the burger consisted of. I ordered The Char Cheeseburger. The Char Cheeseburger was delicious and made to order. It looked exactly like the advertised pictures. I really enjoyed my meal and recommend this restaurant. read more

Habit Burger & Grill - THE Original Char Cheeseburger Charburger with Cheese - Burgers Near Me - Irvine, California

Amazing food and service. Had the Santa Barbara Char meal (Thank you for the recommendation Stephanie! ) Will definitely be back!

Disappointed today. On my phone yesterday they were advertising a free chicken sandwich. I went over there for a late lunch. When I was getting ready to order, the girl behind the counter (who was very nice) said that I needed to spend $5 to get the free sandwich. I showed her the ad, and she agreed that it wasn't explained that I had to spend a minimum of $5. I was going to get drink and fries anyway, so I ordered them and received the "free sandwich." So I paid almost $8:00 for fries and a drink. So for that, I received a soda and fries that cost the Habit less than a dollar. And then I received a sandwich that cost them less than $1.50. Paper and plastic cost them another 75¢, so for $3.25 they received a "profit" of at least $4.00 after deducting sales tax. But then there's the sandwich. At best it was mediocre. Sort of blah in flavor, easily the thinnest piece of chicken breast that I have ever seen, and pounded to the point that there was no juiciness to at as one would expect in a great chicken sandwich. Mo reason for you to try it. Even for free. Too many great chicken sandwiches out there. I would recommend Island or Chick-Fil-A. read more

I enjoyed coming here. I was craving a burger was very indecisive of which to get Stephanie was able to help me decide and she recommended the new barbecue bacon charburger was very delicious.She also had such a good customer service will definitely come back. read more

First and Foremost I want to say that the store manager Alfredo is absolutely amazing! He is such a kind, hard working, and loving person. He goes above and beyond to provide all of his guests with the best possible customer service. We've had issues in the past with this location and a couple of other Habit locations but knowing they have someone like Alfredo, makes it so easy to chose which Habit to go to, even if it's a bit of a drive. Thank you so much for everything Alfredo! We hope you get a huge promotion and a raise! Apart from customer service, the food has always been great, we prefer to dine in because fresh is always better! But we normally get the chicken club, a char burger and half/half onion rings and fries. Chefs kiss, especially if you're looking for a nice healthy-ish lunch lol Ambiance is a nice location, a lot of natural light and facilities are always clean :) our favorite location by far. read more

I like Habit. I like this location. I have complained before about customer service and have received a response and some consideration for my time. I don't want anything like a free burger. I just wish that the staff there would show even basic respect for their customers. I waited in line behind another customer. The cashier served that person then looked at me....and walked away. No comment or explanation. I was just left waiting. Nobody to help. The cashier did some random unnecessary things never acknowledged me and finally after too much time another person walked up and took my order. Why? How is this OK? Is my money not good enough? What is going on here? I am so frustrated with this rude and disrespectful treatment that I am about to give up on this Habit. read more

I stop by The Habit on Barranca once in a while since I enjoy charbroiled burgers. This location is pretty chill--plenty of parking, a drive-thru, and lots of seating inside and outside. The staff are always friendly, and I like the deals they offer on the app. I usually get the Double Char with cheese--it's juicy when fresh. I also like that they have jalapeños on the side and a great lemonade section with unique flavors. Only downside is they charge for ranch, but overall it's a solid spot when I don't feel like waiting at the other busy burger places. read more

**Update!** I was contacted by Anitza at Habit and I was only offered MORE charburgers. When I explained I didn't want more because I was using Chartickets from a previous bad experience at Habit, I received ZERO follow up. Disappointing service all around from location to corporate. read more

It has been awhile since I had Habit Burger. This location is clean and well lit. Staff were friendly. I used to kiosk to place my orders. I ordered Double charburger with cheese (additional fee for cheese) combo $17 and Charburger with cheese combo $15. Combo comes with French fries and fountain drink. The bun was soft. Patties were cooked well and juicy. The sauce compliment the burger well. The combo meal satisfied my hunger. I would come back here again. read more

I ordered 2 kids meals, used a coupon to order $10+ to get a free kids meal last minute which the guy wasn't so thrilled, then the cheeseburger I ordered isn't even put into my bag when I got home, I end up calling the store to get a third party answer and there is not a direct line to connect to the store which I have to reach out via support through an online portal. Horrible service and even worse customer service. read more
