Go down the alley to the red door on Friday and Saturday nights and you will find this cool little bar with a few bar stools and three small sitting areas. If more than 10 people are there it starts feeling crowded. The cocktail list is innovative and the bartenders are attentive. It's a cool place for a drink and definitely has the speakeasy vibe going on. And of course now I've ruined the if you know you know mystic by writing this review!

It was something we fussed at her about lol so my son and I decided to have cheeseburgers in her honor. Craft Bar was recommended when I searched best burger on Yelp, so we gave it a try. We were able to be seated pretty immediately and our serve came to wait on us quickly! I ordered the Black and Blue burger with sweet potatoes waffle fried, and my son ordered a bacon cheeseburger with regular fries. I got my burger with a little pink, and it was cooked to perfection! Sometimes I am hesitant to get pink because it's been to raw. The burger was not only cooked to perfection, I really loved the bleu cheese sauce and grilled onions. The waffle fries with the cinnamon/brown sugar sauce were great as well. My son also really enjoyed his burger, but he did say his fries tasted like shrimp. I tasted them, and they didn't taste like shrimp but they did have a distinct taste. I can't really describe it, but I didn't like it. Otherwise we had a great visit, one of the best burgers I've had, and really good, quick service! I am sure we were in and out in under an hour with everything still being super fresh!

My wife ordered a burger on a GF Bun with Fries and the Cherry Limeade Cocktail. Fantastic!

Stopped by for a burger and a beer to drown in my solitude. Had great service. Prompt, attentive and genuine. Only downside was some pretentious guy named Jeff kept whining about the hostess and the service being "special needs" because he couldn't get his group prompt service under 15 minutes on a special holiday. If it wasn't for some derogative guy whining off the bell about how the service wasn't up to par every couple minutes I'd have enjoyed what would've been quite a depressing day for me. Other than that, burger was damn heavenly. Beer was cold and good. Service was grand. Some people just ruin it for others. Great spot, great burger, good beer and good folks. B.W.

They're always busy, and after trying their food, I can definitely see why! If you're from the West Coast and find yourself craving In-N-Out, this place is pretty close, but dare I say, even better! They have their Goodboy Sauce, which reminds me of In-N-Out's signature sauce, and their smash burgers are just so good. I've had the Oklahoma twice now, and it's absolute perfection. The only small downside is that the fries are a little on the salty side, and the service is decent, but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, this is definitely a spot I'd keep coming back to for a good smash burger. If you're an In-N-Out fan, you need to give this place a try! Also they're open pretty late at night, which is a huge plus!

I am not really a soft lighting kind of gal so I think thats is my one dislike on this place…read more However they have great moody ambient lighting perfect for a modern dinner date! I went and had maybe a 15 min wait to get seated so it went pretty fast and as soon as I ordered I think I only waited like 15 mins too. So great timing! Their food reminds me a lot like In-N-Out, they also have a similar "animal style" sauce called good boy sauce and it was really good. With their burgers, it was to die for! I would ask the fries to be less salty if possible because it runs a little on the saltier side haha but if you don't mind then I think its a great place to hangout with your friends and chill with some good food. I will deff come back and try some more burgers~~

Definitely coming back.

We came here for Valentine's Day with a reservation for three (2 adults and a child). We were…read moregreeted warmly and seated right away, which was impressive given how busy it was. Our first table ended up being under a spotlight that was directly in our line of sight (it looked like it was meant for the specials board), so we asked to move. Staff was accommodating and got us to a better table quickly. The space itself is really nice. It was clean, rustically decorated, and the live plants in liquor bottles on the tables are a nice touch. Our server was friendly from the start and took drink orders right away. My daughter and I had sodas, and my husband ordered the Southern Charm Old Fashioned off the specials menu, which he enjoyed. The menu is on the smaller side, which we actually like. One unique detail was the option to "buy a round for the kitchen," which we thought was a really nice touch and decided to add it when we ordered our appetizer. We started with the fried deviled eggs after a friend recommended them. They were creative with three styles (classic with pickle, togarashi ginger, and crispy prosciutto), but overall a bit on the dry side and not as flavorful as we expected. We asked for Dijon, but they don't have it. Our server suggested and brought out the Baja dipping sauce instead, which did pair well and kind of improved them. My husband had the fish and chips and really enjoyed it. He said the fish was flaky and well cooked. I ordered the Union grilled cheese, which unfortunately seemed like it had been sitting a bit before being served, as the bottom was soggy. It was just okay overall and not particularly memorable for the price. The sweet potato fries on the side were the clear standout. They were crispy, the perfect balance of sweet and salty and honestly the best part of the dish. Our daughter had the kid's smashburger. It was exactly that. Service throughout the meal was good. She was friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and there when needed. The main disappointment came at the end. When our meals were served, the server actually offered sauces at the table (ketchup, mayo, ranch, etc.), and specifically suggested items like the baja sauce for the eggs and ranch to us. Because of that, we were surprised to see several charges for the sauces on the bill, especially since they were offered and recommended at the table with no mention of any additional cost. We were also charged a credit card fee, with no signage anywhere (entrance, hostess stand, or menu) indicating that paying with a card would include an extra charge. It just left an unnecessary sour note on an otherwise solid, casual meal. Nothing was bad, and nothing really stood out as exceptional, but the lack of transparency around those final charges really impacted the overall experience for us.

I have been to Habit twice now, and I would definitely say they are absolutely steps above your…read moretraditional fast food restaurants like Burger King, Wendy's, etc. This last time I went to Habit, Grace was our cashier and Edgar, the assistant manager was also there to assist as she was new and training. Both were very pleasant. I ordered the original charburger, no pickles or lettuce and some sweet potato fries. I like that they have a few side options besides just fries. They also have fried green beans and onion rings! I didn't wait long for my food at all and everything was very fresh! Although they gave us one of the tokens that vibrate when your order is ready, Edgar was already bringing my food to me when the token went off. Both times I have been in, the restaurant was very clean and smelled fresh compared to other fast food places. Even the condiment and drink areas are kept clean and well stocked. I really like that their bathrooms are "all gender!" The option to check out with a cashier or using their self-checkout kiosk is nice too. I have had Habit's burgers, chicken sandwich, and salad along with all of their side options, and I think they have a good thing going. If you're looking for quality food, a clean establishment, and good service without going into a traditional sit down restaurant, Habit is a good place to visit! They definitely beat out McDonalds, Wendy's, and BK for sure in quality, cleanliness, and service!

Unfortunately, today just made me mad, the level of incompetence of their workers are destroying this brand. I was waiting for an hour and my food was not ready, i was observing the cooks while they had their airpods on and were not supporting the manager in the line, while the manager was managing the intense amount of complaints. the cooks just kept pushing out food with no quality. burnt patties, onions that are burnt and fries that are cold and soggy. i paid for my meal and did not get anything but a 21 dollar gift card. i told them to not prepare my meal and just cancel it. i took a peek of the grill and it look like it was unsanitary. i feel bad for the owner of this franchise cause this will cause you to loose money. I recommend having quality control and firing your inconpetent employees and hiring better ones that are properly trained.

Ladies if you look good he might let you slide on free items (I've seen it myself) but fellas he's gonna hassle you even for sour cream if you don't tip him enough to his satisfaction and then complain to your face about it if you're a regular. To those that care: The specific incident that caused my review was I had went in on a tuesday for their "taco Tuesday" special. Now because I work by the oceanfront I frequent this place. I've been told they aren't supposed to let you walk out with to go orders on their taco Tuesday, but if I pay for and eat some of my food who is this manager to say I can't leave with a to go box(which in most cases I have), but I digress. I tried to do it today and the manager comes to me with a nasty attitude over me not tipping enough for his standards telling me I can't take my food to go because he doesn't feel I tip enough and "what's a 5 dollar tip gonna do for him". Keep in mind I told him I'm not ordering food for just myself I sometimes take lunch orders from work which is never more than 5 to go small tacos. I've never been rude to this man I'm a quiet person so I usually order wait and leave. I work for a reputable company that sees a lot of tourism and I often recommended this spot to our guests but due to this situation I will be advising people to avoid this place if you're not just going to drink at the end of the night on The Weekend. In the specific event the owner of the restaurant was there and confirmed they weren't supposed to be doing to go tacos which I can respect. What I dont respect is the manager picking and choosing when he wants to follow the rules of the establishment for his own gain.
