For breakfast, they have options, but not as extensive as an IOP or Denny's. They're on the high side for pricing. The dining area inside is straightforward 80's vibe. No table service. You order and pay at the counter. I got the Express breakfast burrito. It's average and will do for a commute break. The freeway traffic totally sucks. I had to get off and refresh. The burrito and coffee did the job.

What a great place to have a HUGE, DELICIOUS, and well-prepared meal. My family and I had business in the area, and we were craving breakfast. We are so glad we decided to visit this restaurant for the first time. The restaurant itself is located in a very busy industrial area. It is a large and clean restaurant with many tables and booths. The menu, which is clearly posted behind the counter, is extensive and offers many options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are also signs posted throughout the restaurant featuring specials and specialty items. The entire staff, including the owner, who happened to be working the register during our visit, was extremely friendly, welcoming, hardworking, and appeared to appreciate each customer who visited the restaurant. My family and I ordered a bacon breakfast burrito, eggs, turkey bacon, and hash browns combo, and I had a veggie omelet with hash browns. The portion sizes were HUGE, and the food was DELICIOUS!!!! Everything was truly cooked to perfection. It really was good. At one point, I leaned over the counter to thank the chef for preparing such a delicious breakfast. He appeared surprised yet thankful for the compliment. I also wish to thank the owner for providing top-notch service, as he personally delivered our order to our table, including utensils, and checked on us a couple of times, as did a very nice and friendly female employee who was seen working nonstop. We will DEFINITELY be back for breakfast soon.

Background On Visit: Finally patronized the shop after driving by this place many times. Credit Cards: They're accepted. Restroom: Restroom are available. Don't know about the women's restroom, but there's an area that is uneven when you step in. So be careful when you walk in. Location/Parking: Located on Workman Mill Rd.. Plenty of parking available. Ambiance/Decor: Mom and pop shop. Kinda reminds me of Jim's Burger with plenty of modern furnishings to sit and eat. Service: Esperenda, staffer, was very nice. Attentive, friendly, informational about the shop, and offered great suggestions. When I asked her if she preferred the express burger or the turkey sandwich, she said she would recommend the Xpress burger. Food didn't take to long to come out. Food Of Choice: I got the all day Xpress burger lunch special, which came with fries and onion rings, but you can get all fried zucchini, and a drink. Loved the burger. It came with with guac, bacon, cheese, tomato, lettuce, and onions. Thought it was cool that the lunch special came with fries and onion rings, or all fried zucchini. Other places offer fries by default. Note: They charge 1 ranch container for $.35 cents or 3 ranch containers for $1.00. You save $0.05 if you buy 3. Hamburger Express For Thought: Wouldn't mind coming back to try other items on the menu.

Double bacon cheeseburger with fries and onion rings
Roland C.

Been quite some time since been back here and a few things changed. Doors are closed now, thank goodness. They also got rid of the salad bar that was in the middle, RIP salad bar. Prices are modest compared to other places now but my bill still came out to $50 for a colossal burger, double cheeseburger, tender meal and chili cheese fries, so still on the higher priced side. They gained another star as everyone was very friendly and also the taste, for me, was better than before.

Next time well done
Leslie E.

Food was good. I got drive through so did not see inside. But service was fast, window staff was very nice, and food was hot.

Nothing fancy, but you always know what you're getting. We love the club sandwich here! Wanted to update this with a new pic of the menu, so here you go.

Colossal burger
Sean Z.

No issue with parking. Every close to Rio Hondo. Their menu is huge with a variety of selections. The indoor decor for sure was not impressive at all. But it was clean. The price is slightly higher than expected, avg about $9 to 12. I ordered a colossal burger without any sides now drinks. They do charge for other small thing, including credit card fees of 3.75%, and ranch. It just seems the owner is trying to nickle and dime every customer. Not a good feeling. $4 for fountain drinks, a bit expensive. I had friends who shared their onion rings and fries with me. I was not impressed at all. The onion rings was overly fried, and the fries were mehhhh.... The colossal burger was not too bad itself. The vege inside were fresh. The burger meat was slightly on the dried side, and the pastrami was ok. The service was barely existent. The counter cashier takes the order, one of them delivers it to your table, and you bring your own plates back to the disposal area. Overall, it is not good nor bad. I'd give it a 3.1 out of 5.

Taquitos no meat included.  Just a tasteless rolled up tortilla
Liz A.

Taquitos had just a sliver, not even sure I could call it a sliver of meat. Basically a rolled up tortilla. Very disappointed. Paid $9 for crap

Hard shell ground beef tacos
Kenneth S.

This is such a great place for all different kinds of food. I especially love the hard shell ground beef tacos which are so good and tasty. They are not shy with how much they fill up the hard shell taco with ground beef, lettuce and cheese. The french fries are good as well and you get plenty. I usually will come on Sunday afternoon to have lunch here. Nice place, staff and food.

Turkey club come with fries and onion rings
Rudy V.

The place is clean. It's your typical burger joint. The service is great. They are fast and get the order right the first time. The food is delicious. Shared this plate and it was plenty of food for two (or three!). You do have to pay extra for Ranch dressing as that is only free with zucchini orders. Otherwise, a great place to eat. Oh, the burgers are fire!!!!

I've loved The Habit for quite a long time and have honestly never been dissatisfied with my food…read moreuntil today. I placed a pickup order for two Double Charburgers--one with portobello mushrooms and the other with no mayo--along with green beans, fries, and onion rings. We were really hungry, so when we got home and opened everything, we immediately noticed my boyfriend's burger was literally just two burger patties and a bun. No cheese, lettuce, tomato, or anything else. The only modification I requested was no mayo. I drove back to the restaurant and they made him another burger. Before leaving, I asked, "It has cheese, right?" and was told no. I explained that the Double Charburger comes with cheese and that the only thing I requested was no mayo. I even showed the employee exactly how the order appeared in the app. They then added the cheese. I went home again, ready to finally eat my own Double Charburger with portobello mushrooms, only to open it and realize mine had NO lettuce, tomato, or onion. ‍ At that point I was genuinely confused about what was going on. To make things even more confusing, there was also an extra order of green beans in our bag that we didn't order. I rarely leave reviews, especially negative ones, and I've always enjoyed The Habit. But having multiple things wrong with one order, driving all the way back to have one burger corrected, and then getting home for the second time only to discover that my own burger was also made incorrectly was really disappointing. I'm hoping this was just an off day because this definitely isn't the experience I'm used to having at The Habit.

At this new joint- and boy was I glad and full after I enjoyed a classic American burger. My sister had the Argentine burger and my brother had the Irish burger. Deeeelicious. Absolutely amazing. Fries were homestyle, crispy and fresh. I was absolutely floored with the Mac and cheese in my southern burger. I could have used a bit more bbq but hey, still a 10. Need a good burger? Have at it!

this is without a doubt the weirdest burger place I have ever stumbled on. What it's trying to do…read moreis to offer burger selections "inspired" by other countries. so the korean burger has kimchi on it and so on. There are about 10 different ones from different countries. It's very gimmicky for starters. The other problem is none of them are all that appealing. So I opted for thier basic double cheeseburger. I was pleasantly surprised that this is indeed a very nice burger. Fresh and meaty with a nice spread on a nice bun with actual cheddar cheese. Zero issues with this burger whatsoever. Very tasty. Would I come back here again? highly unlikely and I'll explain. First the location is in a really odd place in a building in a strip mall and you have to walk behind another business to get to it. Second, this is in a location where there is a Chili's right next door and plenty of other burger places not far away. No way I'm walking around a building just to eat an ok burger when other locations are much more convenient. Third, some of these country options are kind of weird with really weird toppings. I could see this place getting more business if it was inside of a mall food court or an airport lounge. Probably best to make this into a food truck instead of a stand alone place in Whittier.

On the other hand, they serve up a heaping plate of inconsistency. Three different items from their already small menu weren't available. No Al Pastor? Multiple beers tapped out? And this was early in the evening, not closing time. It made me wonder: supply chain problem, or did they just forget to go shopping? With only one server and one cook on duty, the whole place had a vibe of "we're trying, but please don't look too closely." Service was friendly, but the overall atmosphere felt a little uncomfortable, like something was just... off. As for the food: the Pumba tacos were excellent, the Gobernator shrimp taco was also good, and then there was the "side salad." Calling it a salad feels generous. It looked like someone raided the burger garnish tray and charged me $8 for it. Full iceberg leaves, a few tomato slices, a browning avocado, and purple onion just sat there staring at me, daring me to fight it. It was such a disaster I almost had to set up a GoFundMe page for it. The space itself is modern and vibrant, and the menu ideas are creative -- if only you can actually order them. Unfortunately, the potential doesn't outweigh the frustration. We won't be back.

FOOD,SERVICE, AMBIANCE…read more.. Where do I start?!! So I tried Mike's for the first time a couple of days ago, THIS IS THE SPOT! I was surprised at how nice everyone was! I was pleasantly greeted by ALEX, who when I told him this was my first time he began to show me the menu, as well as make recommendations! The menu is full of dishes for the whole family, even the pickiest of eaters can find plenty to choose from! The ambiance was reminiscent of an old school diner, cool decor and a very mellow atmosphere! I ordered a double cheese burger combo, an avocado cheese burger with fried zucchini, WOW JUST WOW! Everything was perfect, I even ordered a chocolate shake that was super delicious and the ultimate finish to the meal! Yesterday, I returned to mikes for a late lunch. This time I had a difficult time deciding what I wanted, and let me tell you ALEX and this woman who I think was one of his assistants helped me decide. This red carpet of service that they show at Mike's makes me only want to come here when I'm eating out! This time I went with the asada fries, and a California burger (lettuce wrapped). I can go on and on, but I highly recommend you bring the family down and enjoy for yourself! THANKS MIKE'S & CREW! Truly a wonderful experience, and I'm excited to return to try out the breakfast menu!
