Doing an update for this location since it's been 5+ years since my last visit / review. One thing that hasn't changed, was the smoke and overwhelmingly mouthwatering smell of fresh grilled burgers permeating throughout the entire corner of the shopping center. While most other things are the same, there are some differences. As many places have, they've geared more towards the self-service kiosk approach to ordering. As soon as you enter, there are two kiosks to the left, then one more to the right on the counter instead of one of the registers. They still have a place where you can order from a human being if you prefer that (or like me, have customizations that can't be accommodated via the kiosk)...lol. All jokes aside, I ended up having to order through a person. It's not my fault though, they're promoting this delicious looking new toasted Parmesan-crusted sourdough, but only on a Chicken Club sandwich. Being that we hadn't been to Habit in a while, we were craving a burger specifically. After having to bring a manager over to approve the request and figure out how to enter it into the system, we were able to get the special new bread on our Double Char and Santa Barbara Char for an additional charge of ~$1 each (WORTH IT!). The other new items that came (I assume) around the same time as the Parmesan bread, are Garlic Parmesan Fries, and a Garlic Parmesan Ranch. Both the fries and the ranch were surprisingly good. The fries were a little oily/greasy, but the flavor on them was very rich. The Parm ranch was bold and flavorful, and honestly paired well with everything. By everything, I mean the fries, onion rings, tempura green beans, sweet potato fries, and most especially poured on my Santa Barbara Char. It also paired perfectly with the new bread, and made each bite one of the best I've had in recent history. Another big difference is that they now charge for all sauces (aside from ketchup & hot sauce). Back when we were coming here more regularly, ranch was free. You would just ask them at the counter, and they'd give you one, or a few, at no charge. While they do have a solid sauce selection (BBQ, sweet mustard, teriyaki, ranch, spicy ranch, avocado ranch, and the new garlic parm ranch), they charge $0.60 each. They still have Pepsi products at the fountain, in addition to unsweetened regular and tropical iced tea, and both fresh strawberry and cucumber limeades. Two public, gender neutral bathrooms are in the back with no passcode. It was steadily busy on a Saturday evening around 5:30pm. Most of the tables were full, but there was some turnover with people finishing and leaving and lots of to-go orders. Thank you again to the patient woman who took our order, dealing with all the changes and additions. The food was all very tasty, and we especially loved the new Garlic Parmesan items. We're already talking about making another trip to Habit to get it again... read more

Staff on the job today. They were hopping with lots of customers at dinner time. I saw boxes of char family packs being picked up. I came in for 3 char burgers with cheese. I was so hungry, I consumed mine in the car before we got home. While I waited for the order, I watched staff work hard and quickly getting the orders out without losing a beat. The supervisor in charge had everything under control while he worked the register and packed the orders into bags or boxes. I had other foods at home to eat, or I would have bought an order of the tempura green beans, onion rings and maybe fries. My burger was very good but the cheese wasn't completely warmed enough or melted. Can't wait to be back again and next time I'll get the tempura green beans, my fav. read more

Came here on during post lunch rush on a Sunday with my family. We decided to do the Build Your Own Family CharBox with a Charburger with cheese, a Teriyaki Char, and 2 Portabella Char's. We chose sweet potato fries, Tempura green beans, onion rings, and regular fries as sides, and added an Ahi Tuna sandwich. It was all very good, although it took a bit longer than the estimated time to get the order but I'll look past it since it's a big order read more

Habit is a constant burger joint in our rotation whenever we are craving a quick bite. This recent trip was to try their Gotta Habit Meals. Where else can one find a meal combo for $10 or less these days? I picked up a $10 meal and an $8 meal to go. The $10 one came with half a Santa Barbara char, five nuggets, choice of fries, fried green beans or side salad and a large drink. The $8 one came with half a chicken club, choice of fries, fried green beans or side salad and a large drink. This was a great deal and everything was good. I ordered online so pick-up was easy and fast. I also love the peppers bar where I can grab my pepperocinis. read more

When they first opened in 2015, I swore never to come back after they made me wait 45 minutes for a cheese burger. There was a 10 minute wait tonight at 9:30pm. That is acceptable. The Gotta Habit $8 meal was decent. It was half of a chicken club sandwich, tempura green beans and a drink. The two unsweetened ice-teas were not available. They are supposed to close at 10:30pm. The staff has already put the chairs above the tables at 10pm not letting customers sit at tables. Some booths were available. The restaurant was clean and I didn't have to deal with the staff much since I ordered from the kiosk. read more

The online ordering system was having payment issues so I went in person to order on a kiosk. The kiosk was also struggling to scan my barcode. You can expect the standard habit experience. The food was good and tasted as expected and consistent. Everyone finished their burger: double char with cheese , portobello char, and terriyaki char with cheese. The onions rings were nicely fried, crispy on the outside, soft onion on the inside. The sweet potato fries were also a big hit. I wasn't too impressed by their sweet mustard or avocado ranch sauces. Any additional sauces are not included. If you'd like a 5th sauce, you will have to pay 60 cents. The sauces were also unevenly filled. Keep that in mind if you're rationing your bite to sauce ratio read more

This was my first time trying Habit Burger & Grill, and I'd been craving burgers all week. The place has lots of parking and plenty of seating both inside and outside, which was great. Everything looked clean, and I really liked their drink bar options--fountain sodas, iced teas, and even handmade juices. I ordered their regular charburger with cheese, which came out to just over $7 with tax. That felt a bit pricey for a single patty burger, but the photos on their website made it look like it would be a good-sized, juicy burger. It was busy when I went, and I could tell the staff was working hard to get all the orders out on time. Unfortunately, the burger didn't live up to the hype. The patty was super thin, honestly not much different than a McDonald's cheeseburger patty size. It felt like I was mostly eating lettuce, with the beef acting more like a topping. The patty was a bit dry and not very flavorful, which was a letdown considering the price and how it was advertised. I'm glad I didn't order more from the menu because I might have been even more disappointed. The photos they use online and in-store definitely set higher expectations. I get the feeling that a lot of people come here more for the sides and drinks than the burgers themselves. I might try it again in the future just to see if anything changes, but for now, it's not a place I'd go out of my way for if I'm really craving a satisfying burger. read more

Wanted something quick today. The mall was closed. So we felt like hamburger. We ordered: Charburger with avocado (no cheese) meal (fried) and a drink , charburger with cheese and tempura green beans. Well, my burger was good, but what I found different was the tempura green beans. Awesome. Yummy. read more

I've fallen in love with... a burger. It is everything I want in a burger and more. What would make it even better is if i add bacon (and that's an option!) Quick service but no drive-thru but they have mobile order so they get a pass. I have not sit down to eat here, always to go each time. Food is hot, freshly made when i pick it up. i don't mind going inside because i grab some peppers from the pepper bar. Always clean inside and not crowded like the burger spot across the street. Now the food. Amazing. i love the side options. and i love onion rings. you can even get a mix fry basket. the tempura green beans are the one to get. where else can you get this delicacy? read more

This is one of the cleaner locations I've visited, and I really appreciate how organized everything is here. It definitely makes for a more enjoyable dining experience. I've found that using the kiosk to place my order is much quicker than waiting in line, which is a huge plus when I'm with my kids and they're eager to eat. I mainly come here for my daughter, who absolutely loves the Habit burgers and fries. It's become her go-to spot for a quick meal. When I decide to indulge in a burger myself, I usually opt for the portobello char with fries, and it never disappoints. The flavors are always spot on! Recently, we discovered their crispy chicken bites, and let me tell you, they are a game changer! They're perfectly crispy and incredibly tasty, especially when dipped in their teriyaki sauce--it adds a wonderful touch that keeps us coming back for more. My son is a big fan of the chocolate shake. He loves how thick and rich it is; it's definitely a treat he looks forward to every time we visit. read more

Pretty solid burgers and personally a positive experience overall! I like a little spice to my burgers so I really loved the pepper station with chili pepper, peperoncini, and jalapenos. I ordered two double char cheeseburgers, fries, and onion rings for takeout. Everything was satisfying and tasty. Fries were standard. I did think the patty could've been a little more seasoned but I enjoyed the burger overall. Very tightly packed and the fillings didn't make the burger soggy. I especially liked the onion rings! It had a light batter and was very crispy. Delicious dipped in sweet mustard! Even though the restaurant was bustling on a Friday night, I didn't have to wait very long for my order. There is also a lot of outdoor seating which made up for the slightly limited indoor seating when busy. read more

Food - has been consistent with flavor and quality.

Great burgers for a reasonable price! I always go for the double char with cheese for the best meat to cheese ratio.

SELF SERVE HOT PICKLED PEPPERS ! Get yourself a pepper from the counter. Two different types of hot peppers or sliced lemons. Little plastic cups for storage. OPTIONAL SELF SERVE CONDIMENTS PACKETS ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. There is also one ketchup dispenser. So convenient. FOOD WAS TASTY No strong sauce flavors, just flavor of the burger. Fries and thicker than McDs and less salty. Each of the fries served were edible, no burnt tiny bits. VERY CLEAN! One full time person cleaning and wiping all the time. Felt very clean! SELF ORDERING KIOSK There is a giant touch screen for you to order your food. I prefer this way. AMBIANCE FELT GOOD AND AIRY At McDonald's it always feels like it smells like old oil in the air and crowded. This Habit Burger felt airy and the customers were behaved. PARENT NOTES Clean bathrooms with a baby changing table. No high chairs but wide aisles and a good mix of seating options that can accommodate stroller parking. Bench seating is comfortable. read more

Went by for a burger and found they don't take cash anymore. I deal in cash so I wasn't too happy but went in.

The habit always is a pretty good option. Sometimes the food is greasy but it still slaps- the tempura green beans are delicious, and I love the ranch! The service is great, they always give me extra dressings and seem happy. The service is fast, and the ambiance is warm and friendly. The milkshakes aren't as good anymore, but everything else is fine read more

I can't believe it's been 9 years since the last time i was here the food got more expensive,but the food is not the same as it was 9 years ago it was okay when i came with my cousin a few months ago.

Food was good, but basic customer service was bad. We ordered through the app for a deal and got it fine. However, we came in to many people standing around waiting for their orders with more coming in to order. Not only did the employees (especially Victor) not greet, smile, or even look at the customers, he didn't even apologize for being backed up or incorrectly processing orders. read more

Went last week on Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) for dinner. It was SOOO busy, but the staff was very sweet and efficient.

To the manager at tonight's shift: Wed. 03/27/24 around 730-830pm. It is disappointing to even have to write this, but you were absolutely useless! So since you wouldn't help me, I shall warn others. I also contacted Habit's Customer Service Dept. There was a line and since I wanted to take my time looking over the menu, I decided to use the kiosk for the first time. Never again. Why? Because ordering salads means dressing will be drenched over it even when ordering to go. There was no option to select "on the side" so I assumed that ordering to-go implied that but it did not. Sadly, the person I ordered this for wanted it for lunch tomorrow. When I asked said manager if he could make one with dressing on the side, he looked at me crazy, grabbed the receipt, and pointed at the dressing saying it did not say that. I was calm. I told him it just said the dressing type. But he could care less and proceeded to get back to preparing orders. Probably all wrong! Shocked, I commented at his terrible service. I ordered other things, but only wanted this redone. I didn't blame anyone, but knew a soggy salad would go to waste. But he did nothing. I went home and started separating the salad to salvage what I could. Just awful all around. This manager needs to re-learn customer service or better yet, find a new job where communication and compassion is not necessary. Horrible. read more

I like this place for the most part. I just have one complaint to make. The music they play gets worse and worse every time I go. The crowd here is fairly old. We do not want to hear crappy alternative rock music. We want to hear oldies from the 60s and 70s when popular music was still good. R&B songs from that era are also great. The modern loud noise only makes people want to get away. read more

Habit burgers are always super delicious and tasty. I don't come here to this location specifically that often, but if I'm out shopping or in the area and need some lunch, this will always be a place in my mind. I actually go to the Habit location in Millbrae very frequently. But if I'm around the area, I usually order either a Charburger or BBQ bacon Charburger with fries. My parents usually get the Chicken Club Sandwich. Their food is really good and high quality. Great service. Plenty of seats for people to sit down and eat. read more

I was disappointed with the chicken club on my most recent visit. I've had this sandwich multiple times and when done right, it's delicious and satisfying. Based on the advertising (see photo), avocado is a major ingredient in this sandwich. The sandwich i received however was lacking in avocado and other ingredients (see photos) and didn't quite live up to it's price. The flavor was fine - there just should have been more of what was in there. The garden salad I also ordered was fine but the sandwich definitely wasn't to Habit's standards....or mine... read more

Been here for 23 minutes still nothing. But what I really came on here for is the customer service. I've been here several times but this is my last time. The guy that is the counter person (he's the only one that wears a red shirt) is so freaking rude. He has absolutely no personality. No eye contact. He wants you to use the kiosk but nope, not me. He needs to be on the grill or in the back. Not a people person. I'm old school, if customer service is off, I can't patronize! If it weren't do customers, you wouldn't have a job! read more

Not sure what we expected but it was great. Burgers which you can get with "grilled cheese style" bun. Meaning hella buttered sliced toasted sourdough. They don't force you to get them well done either. Power tip: the fries aren't bad but the onion rings are great. Especially if you eat them in the first couple minutes! Maybe not as good to-go. read more

We've been eating at this place for over decades--it's been a regular spot for my family, and my son insists on coming here every week. The service has always been excellent and consistent, and the restaurant is clean and welcoming. It's always a feel-good place to enjoy a meal. I'm specifically rating the burger. While the taste is still great and hasn't changed, I've noticed a disappointing change: the price has gone up, but the portion of meat has noticeably decreased. On our most recent visit, which is part of our weekly routine, the patty was so thin that by the time I got halfway through the burger, the meat was barely visible. We're loyal customers, but this change really caught me for a several months now... read more
