Really disappointed in the changes they've made. Cobb salad didn't have either eggs or a choice of fat free dressing. Salads are smaller. Pepperoncinis no longer available. Used to be my favorite QSR cobb salad. No more. read more

This Habit Burger and grill is very clean and the service is friendly. I enjoy the fact that there's an outdoor area to eat that's clean and there's lots of seating room to choose from. Parking is easy. I like to get a standard burger but sub sourdough bread for the bun, as it tastes better :) My son likes their chicken nuggets and fries. We share green bean crisps. It's a solid burger and we are happy it's in town. read more

Overpriced and soggy. I wish I could say better things, but I can't. Unfortunately they are one of the only burger places in town. read more

I'm giving 3 stars because my food was good, fresh..took a bit of time.. But it was good..Restaurant was clean..there's about 5 people working..I walk in..there's a kiosk, I order my food, pay, then I'm prompted to tip. WTH??? FOR WHAT? The only customer service i received was my food was put in a bag and handed to me.. There was 0 interaction, ecspecially at the ordering kiosk, seems a bit premature to expect a tip..Noone did anything but their job they are being paid to do..No kind of service extra was given like if I had a server at a restaurant..too many restaurants expect tipping for nothing ..really ridiculous read more

Food was hot and accurate order. When I order chicken it's dried out and cover cooked. Burgers are always good. TIP: if you want a milkshake, don't order it when you order your food they'll make the milkshake immediately and let it sit there and melt while they cook your food. Order your milkshake after you get your food. This includes for online orders make two separate orders about 10 minutes apart or more. read more

It was the worse service the cashier but I thing he is the manager was really rude. It said they close at 9pm we get there at 8:09pm to make the order and he took are order but he dint want us to eat there after we get the food I went to grab ketchup jalapeños and other stuff he put it away I ask him why he did that put everything away he said we are going to close now and it was 8:20 I said am going to make a report about you he said he didn't care about go head so how a manager can do the with the customers it was another customer too he said the same thing happen to him 7 min before us it was my first time eating there and my last time and other thing they open the bathroom door and start cleaning in from customer when we all where eating this is really rude the company can't have employees like that.. read more

It pains me to say it, but Habit Burger is basically branded cafeteria food. I really wanted to love them. I had never been to Habit before, but was intrigued after it famously beat In n Out in a USA Today poll. Then I received a coupon in the mail for a free double char with any $3 purchase, so I figured it was time to try! When I ordered, they offered me a sundae if I joined the Char Club...hungry and excited, I sold my data for a free sundae. The meat in my burger was bone dry. Beyond well-done. I got two dessicated pieces of meat with no juiciness or soft texture. Worse, the meat was unseasoned. It tasted like it had barely been salted, if at all. Who wants to chew through a wall of dry, unseasoned meat? And why are there no standards in the kitchen? The fries were basically bog standard fries that also tasted unseasoned. That said, my coupon also had an offer for a chicken club sandwich. So I went back two days later, thinking, "Maybe they just had a bad day! Maybe chicken is the way to go...". So I paid $4 for another round of cafeteria fries (also unseasoned) and got the most bland and uninspired chicken sandwich I've ever had. You'd do better with hotel room service or random diner food. There's nothing interesting or especially tasty about it. And since the sandwich is neither wrapped nor placed in a container with ventilation, the bread was soggy within 5 minutes. It was like a run of the mill chicken sandwich assembled in a hospital cafeteria. I think they just have people back there slapping basic stuff together without much care or craft for taste or texture or quality. I've never been to a more inspid burger chain. I won't mention the likes of In n Out, Gotts, Super Burger, etc....but even McDonald's is better than this. Yes, McDonald's may not be fresh and is full of preservatives, but you know what it is? It's distinctive. Like it or not, there's a specific, signature character to it. And it's yummy in a trashy, nostalgic junk food kinda way. That's way better than tasteless pap that has great photographs and marketing adorning the store but nothing to back it up when it comes to food. It's a bummer. If you're going to spend money roping people in with promotional coupons, you've got to make sure the kitchen can seal the deal. Otherwise, it's just a lost investment. Oh, and that free sundae? The signup portal promised that I'd get a promo email with the bar code within 5 to 10 minutes. It never arrived (yes, I checked my Spam folder). So to add insult for injury, I sold my data for nothing....what a chump! read more

Suburban chain. Decent prices. Juicy burgers. Nice selection of selve serve fountain drinks. Many iced tea and fresh lemonade options. Ranch dressing available for the onion rings you should totally be ordering. I almost always go for the teriyaki burger with cheese and pineapple. read more

I usually am pretty satisfied with the service at this location and I come here A LOT, but this experience is really off-putting. It's National FryDay & I received an email for a free order of fries with a $1 order. I tried ordering on the app as instructed, but received the attached error message when trying to check out. I was unable to redeem the offer despite meeting the requirements AND when mentioning it to the staff they refused to honor the coupon. SENDING THIS CASE OF FALSE ADVERTISING TO THE FTC. read more

my hubby and I received some coupons in the mail for this place, so thought we would try it out for very the first time! we were greeted warmly by Armando whom I later found out was the manager. Armando has great energy and was very helpful! We very much enjoyed our chicken club sandwich stuffed full with avocados, double burger with cheese, onion rings, fries, fried green bean tempura, and an Oreo shake. Everything was very hot, fresh, and delicious. The restaurant is extremely clean, spacious, well lit, and tastefully decorated. I would def consider it elevated "fast food". Great vibes all around! Thx u Armando and hardworking staff for such a great dining experience! read more

Food is good, standard restaurant, made an online pick up order. Gave 4 stars due to my order. Ordered 7 burger all customized for my students. When I returned back to school non of the burgers were marked. Luckily we didn't have allergies but if we did we would have been in trouble. There was no way for me to tell which burger was which. But otherwise everything worked out. read more

This place has gotten bad. Burger King is better, and costs less. The burgers were small. I ordered a cheese burger and they forgot the cheese. The fries weren't bad, though. I've eaten there in the past and it was decent. read more

Very nice, clean location. We grabbed some dinner the other day since we didn't feel like cooking. I ordered the Charburger with no cheese or pickles. We shared some chicken nuggets, fried green beans, regular fries, and onion rings. The Charburger was alright. I think I will get the chicken sandwich next time. The chicken nuggets had a lot of flavor, the onion rings were really crispy, and the regular fries were still raw and soggy. I liked the green beans even though one of them had a fishy smell. Their indoor and outdoor seating aren't open right now, but when they are again we'll be back to dine in. I think all of our food would have tasted a lot better if we ate it there. The guy who took our order was fast and friendly. I don't go to this shopping center location often, but I am glad I remembered The Habit is located here. read more

I guess HQ Habit Burger made a significant menu change. One of our favorites was changed so completely they shoud have renamed it. the Santa Barbara Cobb Salad not the same ingredients, sure tasted different, sure was smaller volume, and sure was more expensive. Not as good. My wife and I looked forward to splitting a salad between us....can't do that anymore. No blue cheese, different dressing, different lettuce, now featuring sauteed onions. I guess will need to look for a new restaurant to meet our lifestyle needs. Service was still good. Food not so. ** read more

This place sucks... order was wrong.. Had to drive back just to get the order correct, no apologies or S%/×÷t was given, manager didn't say nothing... salads are easy enough to make, missing out on ingredients... its like ordering a burger and only getting the veggies and forgetting to put the actual bacon ‍... read more

The Habit is an amazing fast food place that changed my perspective on fast food. I ordered a beautiful grilled cheese. I ordered my meal from the best cashier with a positive attitude. I love the habit of grilled cheese; it is my favorite. I will keep coming to buy a grilled cheese! Love the habit fr no cap. read more

Let's start with the word horrible! The quality and care of preparation has sunk to a new low in the world of sandwiches! 2 Sandwiches and limp onion rings have and fries. Chicken sandwich slathered with sauces to make the ciabatta soggy! Not to mention leaving off the requested teriyaki sauce. The burger no onions as requested. I feel like a fool for spending money on that garbage! PS. We have eaten there four times before. They have serious employee problems. read more

This location is just so sad!! Poor service, no customer service skills and english not a first language issues with both speaking and understanding us as we ordered.

This location is kind of tucked away off one of the main drags thru downtown Novato. The location is great, plenty of parking and a very spacious indoor dining area. The staff was super friendly. I order the Double Char Burger with cheese and Avocado and was a little disappointed this time around. The burger seemed a little under cooked than normally I would get at Habbit. But the burger was warm and so where the fries. I will have to stop by this location again and give them a 2nd shot. read more

A review from my 6 year old son, " my favorite place is The Habit because I get the fish with the sauce. Go there! It's five stars go! What are you waiting for!? Go!!!!!!!" This child is writing ads for The Habit from his first grade classroom FYI he's referencing the ahi tuna burger lol read more

Habit Burger & Grill - A review from my 6 year old son - Burgers Near Me - Novato, California

Char grill definitely can taste. It's has a perfect ratio of beef to bun especially the double char, you surely taste the bbq smokiness and seasoned well juicy patties. Oreo shake, evenly blended bits with every slurp of the just thick enough rich shake that you can still suck up with the straw. Nice, refreshing, and sweet afternoon treat! Will be back for the brunch burger and crispy chicken sandwich! Open kitchen, super organized and clean. Happy hardworking staff with excellent overall execution. Great to see a few of the staff are high school kids; if you can handle this fast paced environment of the restaurant and in the kitchen, you can tackle anything in the future! read more

Downhill...we started eating the Habit years ago while living in Walnut Creek. Food was great , we never left disappointed. We have ordered kids meals, chicken sandwiches, burgers , salads, etc. we moved to Marin years ago and were so excited when they opened one in Novato. Ordered fairly regularly until Covid, everything was up to par, just what we had expected. During Covid, we felt the food quality declined drastically, but it was Covid , so we kept giving it another chance. Well we are far beyond Covid and the food is just ok . I think we are done "hoping" this chain restaurant will turn itself around. We just leave disappointed every time ! The "flavor" is lacking ( balance as can be ) , the quality is definitely not the same and portions are smaller than ever for the considerable price increases they have made. Not worth wasting our money anymore! Too bad because as a family we easily spend a good chunk of change to eat out. Unfortunately, for this restaurant it seems we are not the only ones & it shows, I'm guessing thats why it always seems so empty nowadays - read more

I don't know where to start. Food below horrible. I don't know when the last time they changed the fryer oil. Let's talk about pricing I asked for a meal i was charged individually for each single item. So sad to see this chain is going down. Very clueless employees. read more

Try the Santa Barbara Char! For a chain, it delivers a juicy and filling burger...with the vibes giving a nice nod to So Cal!

Bring your own sauce you don't want an upcharge. Easy way to break my "Habit" is to charge for condiments after I spend 15 on a burger and fries. Was a weekly patron. Won't be back. read more

TENDERLOIN STEAK SANDWICH is really good! I would highly recommend it. It is NOT a chewy low quality meat, it is delicious.

I have a habit of coming to this place, and I have no intention of stopping. Walking through the door you are immediately greeted by a warm, inviting ambiance and the wafting scent of grease. It's truly a slice of heaven on earth. Whenever I come here with my wife Patricia, we both leave even more impressed than the last time! The fries grow crispier, and the burgers grow juicier each time. Just Wow! read more

What can I say about Habit Burger? Started in Santa Barbara, and recently opening locations all throughout the bay area. Habit now enters the city of Novato, which admittedly is fairly burger saturated in my opinion. But, they aren't half bad. Quite good actually. I tried the Santa Barbara style burger which comes with Avocado on grilled (and buttered) sourdough bread. I can recommend this burger. Onion Rings were great as well. It can be a little heavy, so proceed with caution. If you order just a Charburger with fries, Habit won't do too much damage to your wallet either. Give them a try and see how they stack up. read more
