Orion was an excellent and personable server. I haven't had service like him in a while. The Santa Barbara Burger was so delicious and filled with all the burger necessities. A little messy, but hey doesn't that make a great burger? Very clean, yet the only down side, Men's restroom is an either (gender) so can only be used one person at a time. Oppose to the ladies several can go inside. Had to wait a while to use the restroom. read more

One of my favorite places in town to get a chicken sandwich. I like the fact they dont cook it until after you place your order. I love the grilled chicken with carmelized onions. The cooks wear gloves, which is a plus. The place is always clean and staff are very friendly. A great place. read more

This place is great. Good service. Good food and very appropriately priced. Get kids meals for free

Worst burger ever. Cold, soggy, inedible. Sides were inedible. Health concerns as well. I placed an order through Uber Eats at around 7:20 pm. Uber messed up and the courier did not pick up the order from Habit. When he arrived at my house about 35 minutes later he tried to sort it out but ended up having Uber cancel the order. Once the order was cancelled I reordered. This time it was delivered right at 9:00 pm, but when I opened the bag, the bottom was wet, the burgers were cold and the wrappers were wet and the sides were soggy. I checked the receipt on the bag and the time on the order showed 7:23 pm. Over an hour and a half it was sitting in the counter. I am not sure what Habits' health standards are but most fast food establishments it's 15 minutes and the food is disposed. This burger was around 100 minutes. If Habit disregard food standards and customer service on my order, don't be surprised if they carry their lack of serve and integrity across the entire enterprise. Don't eat here, they have no regards for your health. read more

I'm a regular at The Habit in Palm Desert, and I always have an amazing experience thanks to Jessica. She provides top-notch customer service, my food is always hot, fresh, and she gives fantastic recommendations. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Tots were great. Good burger & shake good flavor & thick. Outside area kinda noisy as right next to street. read more

Let me start by saying that the burgers are the reason why I come by for my lunch burger. But the wait time has only increased over the last few months and I cannot wait nearly a half an hour for a to-go order! I'm on my work lunch break: 30 minutes. Today marks my last visit: 25 minutes wait time for a BBQ Bacon Char and a strawberry limeade to go! Previously there were a couple more people working the grills, today just two people, one woman on the drive thru window and a woman in a manager. My last three visits here (Dinah Shore Drive) have lasted 20 minutes, 25 minutes and 25 minutes again, today. They clearly need more people working there. But that's beyond my control. What I can control is no longer wasting the little time I have waiting for my lunch order. Also, when I pay my bill upon placing my order, the screen always asks for a tip and I always tip 10% on my to go order. This is obviously a hangover from the Covid era, as a way to show support for the temporary inconvenience and increased worry for public-facing workers. That time has come and gone, yet the tipping screen remains...even though there is NO service with take out. read more

I love Habit Burger!!! Food is always cooked to perfection!! Great customer service. Employees go above and beyond for their customers. clean restaurant and restrooms. read more

Why is the counter service restaurant asking me for a 20% tip when I pay for my $30 fast food meal? You literally set my food on the counter and expect me to retrieve it from a plastic tray. What service am I receiving? Why are the peppers in the cardboard trays drying out? Why is the soda machine locked out but they're telling everyone it's broken? Why is the cook eating food while she cooks? Does she not have a food handlers card? Why is the girl touching my food touching her face? Why did I watch her pick a plastic cup lid off of the floor and put it back in the lid holder? I entered your restaurant at 8:37 PM. I realize your people wanna leave and start cleaning up for the restaurant closes but if we're going to shut the soda machine off and put the peppers in a cardboard tray and start eating dinner why not just close at 8:30 so you can do all that by 9 PM? I don't want anything free . It's crazy that you're destroying your brand by allowing these things to happen. Please do better. read more

My friends and I had lunch at the Habit yesterday. The server Jesse was very kind and friendly. He even brought us cookies and cream ice cream. Love the burgers . We had the $10 special you get a sandwich, chicken nuggets a drink and a great salad or you can choose French fries instead. All the staff are very friendly there they make you feel welcome. read more

I had not been here in a long time, decided to stop by with my family and try the new BBQ chicken salad, it was absoultly delicious! We dined in and Johnatan the manager took our order and Jessica delivered our food to the table, they were both very helpful and nice! Jessica invited us back so we will definitely be back soon! While we were eating, Johnatan came by to see how eveything was, this was very kind of him, the restaurant was very clean and has alot of new items,on the menu! read more

Bn here several times....always greeted nicely. Sometimes have had to wait bc it was lunch hour, and busy. Love their hamburgers...it's just the "tip" part that slays me in all of restaurants like this, where u place your order and either have it brought to you or you have to pick it up yourself. I don't see why I have to or they ask for, a tip??? read more

Habit has changed. The chocolate ice cream sundae went from around $3 to over $5. We were in Palm Desert and looking for ice cream and habit fit the bill. It's not the same habit. A little more streamlined, less staff, more hurried and less quality. The self service kiosks are convenient, but reflect the state of food services it feels. read more

The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and a great vibe, but I found the food to be somewhat underwhelming. Unfortunately, my wife and I also experienced some digestive issues afterward. While the setting is appealing, I'd suggest improvements in food quality and preparation before recommending this place. It was bad enough I considered calling environmental health. read more

Nice What a great burger, five guys have nothing on habit, ate at your other location but glad to see, this one has great service also read more

Ordered 2 HB Santa Barbara Cobb Salads. the Tomatoes were rotten! Avacados were Brown! the Eggs we didn't even eat they were petrified! obviously we ate enough and got violently sick! this place has gone down hill and is UNSAFE to eat at! Stay Away!!!!! We feel it was done purposely? read more

Front counter service was fair at best. The place was dead inside, no other customers- never a good sign for dinner service. The prices were kinda high. The wait time was long, but we figured it would at least be fresh and hot. I ordered a club chicken sandwich, which looked okay, but then noticed it was missing the avocado. Took it back, and was told "well I can give you some on the side". Give me some? It's part of the sandwich! We probably won't return, but gave them a shot. Good luck, not sure they'll be around very long. read more

The food is always fresh and it feels like the ingredients are simple but pack lots of flavor. The service is absolutely great, I never had a bad experience in this restaurant. It is always clean and well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend this place if you are in the area. read more

The Santa Barbara char is always a winner! A cross between a sandwich and a burger that comes together for a great tasty Burgwhich!

I stopped in last Thursday, approximately between 11:45-12:15...there was a lunch rush and the place looked understaffed. The kiosks were open for patrons to order since there was a wait to order at the register. This older man was so upset he had to either wait in line or order at the kiosk...so he felt he had to let the manager, and everyone else, know he was doing a bad job. He said he was in the industry and would've handled it better. Also made sure to tell Luis, the manager, that he was going to call corporate to let them know. It was so rude and unnecessary of him to say that. Luis, the manager, and his staff were doing the best they could with the line. I am giving this location 5 stars because the Food was perfectly prepared and cooked - even during a lunch rush, they took the time to prepare the food correctly, and you could taste it! We ordered the classic cheeseburger and fries' meal and their new Spicy Crispy chicken sandwich. OMG! if you like crispy chicken sandwiches and coleslaw and pickles and spicy sauce! You're going to love this one! Luis also suggested the Banana Wafer Shake and it did not disappoint. They use real ice cream! and Nilla Wafer pieces! Given it was lunch rush, Luis and his staff did an amazing job, even when encountered with impatient customers. I was greeted as soon as I walked in, and the place was clean. Condiment bar and drink fountain was also clean. Lids and straws were stocked, and the lemonades looked refreshing. Definitely returning for the great service by Luis and his staff - he also suggested the Oreo shake so I want to try that one next; the perfectly prepared food...and hopefully there won't be anyone there to ruin the atmosphere :) read more

Very average burgers in my opinion. I'd rather have In-N-Out. Maybe I'm just not a fan of shredded lettuce on burgers and would prefer either one large piece of iceberg lettuce or romaine. read more

First time visiting this location today. We were helped by DeJuan who was very helpful & polite even though he was off the clock immediately after taking our order. This young man had great people skills & customer service. The place was clean & the patio was nice. La Quinta store needs some pointers from whoever is managing this place. read more

These have the best hamburgers. And their hamburgers are rated number one. Way better than In-N-Out.

My daughter stopped at this location at 7:45 pm after an 11 hour day. From the get go, she got attitude from Brenda, who insisted she pull up her mask up over her nose before taking her order. Gov Newsom said the mask mandate is over June 15! So why the attitude? Brenda repeated the order 3 time with attitude. My daughter clearly ordered NO Mayo, no tomatoes, no lettuce!! Only cheese and avocado was requested!!! Why did Brenda repeat the order back 3 times? SERIOUSLY?? I got an overload of Mayo gooey lettuce, tomato, pickles, and it looks like vomit! I see why Habit has such awful reviews. Will never eat there again because of ONE employees' bad attitude, Brenda! Will be posting to FB and all my other social media accts warning others not to eat there, especially after a long day. Think twice about going to The Habit for food!! read more

Ordered dinner via the app on March 23rd once I arrived at the location. There was a handwritten note on the door that said, "Closed due to staffing." I understand staffing issues arise, but to be able to place an order, get a confirmation, payment taken out of my account, and receive notification that my order is ready is frustrating. I have still not received a refund, which the guy, working at the restaurant that night said 2-3 days, I have also submitted a request through the app, and no communication or refund has been given. read more

Another excellent Habit Burger location offering the same great quality food, along with excellent service. I highly recommend downloading The Habit Burger app since you can order your food custom and they seem to get it right every single time. The menu here is very good, along with the excellent taste and quality of the food. I had wondered if things would change since the company has been sold to Yum Brands, but everything has remained the same. Fast, friendly service, good prices and great food. I really think The Habit is great! read more

A follow up to my review. All you get is a reply saying "sorry, we will be sending a DM". I got my DM ... .but why do they think a free burger is the answer. Why would I want another soggy terrible burger. Getting it free is not taking any corrective action. If only they went back to the stores and looked at the process, and made some changes. Alas, no one is really listening. read more

Great location good food and great customer service very friendly people and very clean place to enjoy a meal with the family.

It was my first time trying Habit burger Grill. It was a good experience. I came here with a coworker after work. The service was friendly with the employees. I gotta say the quality of their burgers rivals IN N OUT!! It was soooo good! I got the Double Char Burger with a strawberry drink and also a coke. I also got some really great fries! I was out of town and haven't had any new foods lately, but here in Palm Springs was my very first time trying a new burger. I gotta say it did not disappoint! Will definitely come back here again when I return to Los Angeles. It was great food to have on a road trip! read more

Asked for a teriyaki burger. Burger came with smeared burnt onions, no pineapple. Had asked for the sauce on the side to avoid it being smothered in sauce. Asked for extra sweet mustard sauce, was not given either. Guy on the drive thru mic ran away and had someone else hand the order over. Place used to be better and better staffed, going down hill now. Would not recommend going here anymore. Burgers and beer is your best, don't waste your time at this pathetic "burger" place. read more

Habit Burger & Grill - Idk what this is - Burgers Near Me - Palm Desert, California

May 3 2024, I wanted a double cheeseburger for a change. Just meat cheese and bun. Got it and a small drink, no fries and the cost was just under 14 bucks. Yikes! Bigger problem the meat was not cooked, pinkish. They cooked another that was better, but tasteless,wet, soft, and drippy and did not look like meat. Food used to be good, but never again will I be a customer!! read more

Served me a burned burger when I brought it up to the manager he didn't offer to credit me in any way. He took the tray and threw it out. No im sorry no offer to make it better. The staff was unfriendly and awful those kids looked like they had been up all weekend and didn't want to deal with anyone. This location. Used to be great and I will not return there again. Bub bye ! read more

Again, special order to cook the hamburger meat "well" was ignored. This has happened more than a few times! Apparently the cook doesn't know how to follow directions again... In addition, I gave a staff tip of $5.98. Order was a to go, so I didn't find out the burger was not cooked properly- meat was pink in color! I do not recommend eating at this location. Management needs to provide proper training and should have a standard procedure for the cooks. Recommend auditing the cooks work. The entire meal was not worth $35.90 read more
