first off it's chargrilled and it is delicious meat. I don't eat meat too often, but when I want a burger Chargrilled tastes better! They have new Korean inspired flavors on the menu now including a bomb salad. and when I need food fast and am broke, a $5 chicken wrap is a healthy and delicious lunch. I like the seating area and the ambiance. Plenty of parking here and nice outdoor area as well. read more

My burger was Amazing! It did not disappoint. It was made to order, fresh and I wish i could have eaten it all. 1/2 of my burger was all I needed to satisfy my craving. They have a nice, clean indoor seating area, but for me this was To Go. I had heard of this place but had never been. It was truly a winner. Looking forward to returning. Great job Habit! read more

Seriously, I don't understand the negative reviews. I've been coming here a few times a month since they opened bc it's so convenient, in a plaza with both Nob Hill and 99 Ranch/Ranch 99. The food is always good and fresh, and unlike other fast food places, they've never gotten my order wrong (knock on wood). The closest has been leaving out BBQ sauce or adding utensils when I always check napkins and uncheck utensils, but that's not a big deal. Here are my favorite things about them: * Solid burgers. * Super fresh and tasty salads for a reasonable price. * Availability of ahi tuna + chicken. * Option to add avocado to almost anything! * Tasty dragonfruit limeade. * Kids meals! Not just for kids, good for an adult who wants a burger and fries without overeating. * Ordering via app! Seriously, I haven't eaten at In N Out for ages bc while they do a good burger, you have to line up to order, then wait for your order to be made. It easily takes 20+ minutes even if you go late at night or midafternoon. Cool if you're super committed, but IMO, there's lots of great places to get a burger. Like here -- where you order ahead, show up, and have your order in your hand in 1-3 minutes! Here are things I'd like to see in the future: * Salmon if enough people will buy it. I certainly would! High omega-3s, low in mercury, and delicious! * The ability to add lettuce/tomato to kids meal burgers. * The app forces you either to give them permission to access your location, or to enter your zip and pick a store EVERY SINGLE TIME. Every other app I've used lets people save their favorite store(s), which makes a lot more sense, esp if you commute. I've noted some people complain the store is dirty. I've seen it both VERY clean, and with napkins and crumbs on the tables at rush times. IMO, that's just normal for fast food places -- and outside of the rush, they're super tidy. Oh, the pics are of a bacon burger (SO MUCH bacon!), and a Cobb salad where I swapped the chicken for extra avo (for no charge!) bc I'd been eating too much chicken. So that's another plug for the app (or kiosk ordering) -- you can see and choose all your customizations, even those you wouldn't otherwise know about! For people who've been coming here a long time, is Habit the place it used to be? I do miss the superfood salads and the old malts -- it's just shakes now, and I really love malts (yes, I have malt powder). But everything changes. I'd give this place a solid 4.5 stars. read more

06/02/2025 The Habit Burger Grill 1040 Grant Rd Ste 370 Mountain View, CA 94040 I returned here because there was coupon deal for a free burger or chicken sandwich. I did both and it was a good deal but the place is a mess. The tables were filthy with leftover bits and no sign of the staff cleaning them. It wasn't very busy so the staff obviously aren't told to clean, it's pretty disgusting. The burger and chicken sandwich were okay as was the fried green beans and onion rings, but the filth was bad. No repeat. read more

Well , those that know me , I do not like giving one star but this time it was well earned Beyond the fact the picture of the food on the self service is about half size in reality , the service is the real issue One in the group went up and after buying 3 10 dollar burgers we asked for 3 water cups. The response was to tell us to make sure not put anything else in or we will be charged. Really? Why have self water and water cups if you don't trust people. Food was as is for Habit Then go to use restroom , not clean and toilet did not flush. So mostly for the water cup remark this visit is 1 star , will never come back and recommend you find another Habit , not this one read more

Redeemed my free Double Charburger with Cheese for my birthday, and it did not disappoint! The burger was perfectly grilled, juicy, and packed with flavor. I loved being able to customize it with jalapeños, banana peppers, and a splash of Tabasco sauce -- the perfect spicy kick! Service was quick and friendly, and the overall experience was smooth from start to finish. The Habit always delivers consistent quality and flavor -- a great stop for a satisfying, made-to-order burger. read more

The food here has normally been good tasting and consistent. This day, I decided to get a lettuce wrapped version of their BBQ Bacon Char with cheese. It was a bit disappointing, though. I imagined it to be wrapped in a single leave of lettuce, a la In 'n Out. Instead, I received 2 thick slabs of lettuce acting the buns. I had to remove several layers just to be able to taste the meat, bacon, cheese, etc. read more

The foods is my daughter's favorite and I'm also a big fan. I'm happy with the consistency of the hamburgers and fries, it's just always what you expect. If I had to pick something to complain about (and this is something that many places do now) it is that they charge you 60 cents for the dipping sauces. I'm spending $20+tip on a burger, fries, and a drink. Why do I have to pay for dipping sauce? It just makes the place look greedy when I know they are just trying to keep costs down. Just bake the price into the original purchase! Rant over. :) read more

Came by for a light dinner the other night and it was a mediocre experience. The Habit was recently named the best burger in the US according to USA Today... This location was conveniently located across the street from In N Out and may have been the home to a Sweet Tomatoes previously. Parking was available in the private lot or on the surrounding residential streets. Dining is available both indoors as well as outdoors. Ordering was done via the kiosk. One kiosk was apparent and there were 2 additional kiosks that were facing the door. Ordering via the kiosk was bizarre as a phone number was required to place an order. No paper receipts were available, only receipts via text or e-mail, which was even more bizarre. I was glad to see that no more employer mandates were listed on my receipt. Ordered a charburger lettuce wrapped with cheese, and avocado. Being used to the In N Out lettuce wrap, this lettuce wrap was different... The burger was okay. The side of onion rings were also mediocre. They seemed to have been frozen and the oil could have been even fresher. ~$15/head after tax for dinner. read more

Got a side caesar salad with bacon and tempura green beans for takeout this past Sunday. Ordering from the kiosk in the store was easy, and my food was ready in less than 5 minutes. Everything was tasty, the salad with fresh veggies and a nice savory crunch from the bacon, the green beans crisp and cooked perfectly. I have no complaints. read more

Habit burger has fantastic burgers. You really cannot go wrong with the charburgers! However this place really needs to be cleaned more often. It's usually pretty dirty which is really sad because the crew is hard at work making fantastic burgers. You can tell if they had more help and someone to constantly sweep the floors, clear the tables, and take out the trash that it would be a 5 star experience. Food is hella legit. Cleanliness, not so much, hence the 3. Cuz it gets super grimy inside no doubt. read more

Habit burger has been in the old Sweet Tomatoes space for a while (RIP..). We finally got around to trying it thanks to these hot deal coupons we got for a free chicken club and a free double cheeseburger if you spend $6 on other stuff (we got some sides). I like the condiment choices with various sauces, peperoncinis (spicy!), and pickled jalapeños. - Chicken club: the bread was pretty flavorful, griddled, topped with avocado mash. The chicken breast itself was just ok. - Double charburger: a pretty sizable double cheeseburger - Fries: just ok for both texture and flavor - Tempura green beans: a unique side and a great way for the kids to get some veggies in, which is rare for a burger place. The kids loved this with ranch It's a pretty easy fast casual meal and is family friendly. It's too bad for them that they're right by an In and Out (though it's a different style). The green bean tempura was the standout option for us. read more

Not sure why the poor reviews. we both got the BBQ bacon burger . the burger was tasty with lettuce tomato and pickles. The flavors blended perfectly. Onion rings were also very good, nice and crispy. Orea cookie shake was delicious with whipped cream on top. Overall a good fast food meal! The facility is also very clean . read more

I've been going to The Habit Burger Grill for a while now, and it's a solid spot for a quick fix. I love using their app to order ahead it really saves me time, especially during lunch rushes when I can just pick up without waiting in line. The food is decent; the charburgers are flavorful and the fries are always hot and crispy. Service-wise, it's neither great nor terrible just average, with staff getting the job done without much enthusiasm or issues. Overall, it's a reliable choice but nothing that blows me away. 3 stars. 10-15$ lunch not bad read more

Way better than In N Out. OK start with the medium cut fries perfect blend of crunch and fluffy center always hot. The burger has great char flavor with grilled onions. The strawberry lemonade is excellent. This store is perfect for your burger craving. read more

They're finally open! I've been driving by here and noticed the old sweet tomatoes location getting remodeled. Now it's opening day, and this shiny new location is full of energy during the lunch rush. The store looks pretty standard. The menu and fountain drinks are the same. Today I got the Portabella Char, a single patty with creamy aioli and shrooms. The toasted bun had a nice crunch, and the lettuce and tomato were fresh. To commemorate opening day, I got the feature mocha shake. They promote that it has hersheys syrup. Topped with whip, it was nice and rich, if not a little small. read more

Surprised at the low # of stars. I like this location. Easy to order, food is great, workers are nice, and pretty easy to get seating. My go to order is the Cobb Salad and a side of onion rings, but everything is yummy. My kids like the burgers and fried green beans. Milkshakes are thick and delicious as well. Don't love the parking, but that's ok. read more

The burgers are extremely flavorful. My favorite is the santa barbara sandwich. The fries are also very crispy and there are a multiple fresh fountain juices. The food was also prepared very fast. Will definitely be returning soon! read more

The burger was very low quality. No taste even though it was charbroiled. The bun was especially bad, very low quality it fell apart. Same for the fries, not oily but no taste. read more

Tasty food... but they have started to nickel and dime customers... charging for ranch dressing, please

One of the faves for my wife and myself, we both love a good burger! The Santa Barbara is our go to. It's clean, service is fast, we just love their food for date night! read more

I was really surprised Ordered pesto chicken sandwich, no flavor at all. I was expecting a delicious sandwich. Tiny bit of sauce on bread with no flavor at all. My husband had a hamburger and he said the same. He would not return for it. I thought Habit provided good burgers! It's either quality of food or freshness when the flavor is so far off. Real disappointment, on the other hand, very clean restrooms and eating area clean and neat. read more

My first time dining at this Habit location. The guy taking my order was super nice and courteous. My food came out in a reasonable amount of time (restaurant was only slightly busy) and every thing was cooked perfectly. I asked for fries well done and they came out crispy but not overly done, just the way I like it. The char burger was cooked as it should (buns toasted, meat hot, lettuce cool). I hope they keep this up! read more

Very frustrating when I enter a restaurant and they won't take my order by a human who is available to help me. All she did was point me to a kiosk. If this is the future a lot of 1 star reviews are on their way. read more

Food good, employees very nice and helpful! They also give containers for "extras" from the condiment bar!

Food is what I expected it to be and the service is good. They have three kiosks there but the kiosks should allow a comment to any additional type of customization but I get it efficiency is what the fast food chain is going for. Ambiance is very busy this place is going. read more

Food is great but the service has been terrible every time I have used curbside pick up. I arrive check in and no one comes out. I go in to find my food sitting there getting cold and the employees just standing and talking. This was also the case today. I walk in after waiting outside for awhile and my food was on the counter, they apologized and handed my food. Had to ask for a cup to get my drink. When I got to my workplace I realized I was missing all the ranch. Even paid extra for more. Should have known better and checked since I've not gotten in every other time. read more

Nice place. Good service. My family rated these three burgers as excellent. I was served burnt meat, onions and a bun.

I've heard good things, but I didn't experience good things. Everything we got, aside from the onion rings, was just bad. Chicken nuggets were hard and dry, burgers were dry, bland, and buns seemed stale. I don't know if they are understaffed or just slow, but it seems like they need more help as it's 1 cashier and 2 self serve kiosks, and the wait time lags. read more

Long story short MARIA who works at the habit here in Mountain View has the absolute worst customer service I've ever experienced. I've never made a yelp review and I downloaded it just for this, because wow she was something else- all over a cup completely insane. I guess not going to keep it short- I ordered on the self service thing and I added the aqua Fresco, which on the photo has a clear cup verses a solid white cup. On the self service iPad it shows the solid cup (FOUNTAIN DRINKS ONLY) and the clear cup for aqua fresco, so I finished up my order and pay on the self service and I realized I need to ask for my drink as it says on my text message is received while waiting. I patiently wait til MARIA was done with whatever task and kindly requested my drink. She handed me the solid cup and all I said to her was "is it not a clear cup? I'm getting the aqua fresco not a fountain drink." She rolled her eyes put the cup back and walked away then turned around and said "you don't get a drink then." ???? Uh I don't get my drink I paid for because of confusion???? I had my boyfriend return to the front because I came back empty handed and he grabbed me a cup from the stack of cups and began filling my aqua fresco (the aqua fresco machine was a solo machine apart from the fountain drinks) she then yelled at my boyfriend and told him "she doesn't get a drink! you grabbed a large and she paid for a regular" and told him I declined a drink from her ?? Girl why would I not take my drink I paid for ??? So he threw out the large cup and asked for the one I paid for and she threw a regular solid cup at my boyfriend. We got my drink and got our food and, MARIA said something (I was too far to hear) to everyone working and everyone laughed and looked at me while I took my first bite of my burger.. call me crazy but I think they did something to it. I still ate it because it was good lol but i probably ate someone's spit over miscommunication. I will never ever be back there. read more

Not the best burgers and the chicken is chewy. Five Guys is much tastier. Its okay in a pinch.

Fast service and good food! The burger was juicy and delicious and the onion rings were crispy - ill be back soon.

Sucks when you get there for curbside pickup but all 4 parking spaces are taken with EMPTY CARS. Somehow needs to be enforced. Foods great!

The food was amazing per usual but its always the service that makes me not want to return. Spent over 60 dollars yesterday and my order was missing things that I paid for. I did curbside pickup and had to walk in and grab my food while the employees were in the building talking messing around. Why have curbside pickup?? read more

Some of the worst service I've ever received from a fast food place. The food was honestly worse than expected.

Terrible service and long wait. Don't recommend to anyone. Cold fries and burgers. They let me down.
