Chain Reaction Part VII: The Habit $8 Gotta Habit Meal Deal: 1/2 Chicken Club Tempura Green Beans Large Fountain Drink Let's get in "the habit" of exploring a cost effective meal deal. Only the $10 Gotta Habit deal is visibly advertised throughout the restaurant, but you will encounter all three Gotta Habit offers on the self-service menu kiosk. I decided to meet in the middle and explore this prix fixe meal. 1/2 Chicken Club: This half sandwich has marinated grilled chicken breast, hickory smoked bacon and fresh avocado on lightly toasted sourdough bread. It's not the most filling, but it will hold you over until dinner time. Tempura Green Beans: If you are looking for the perfect alternative to the classic french fries, you've found it. The outer layer is covered in deep-fried crunchy tempura batter with a soft green bean on the inside. The ranch dressing adds a savory flavor to the side Large Fountain Drink: Wash your meal down with a variety of Pepsi products. The choices are plentiful ranging from soda, iced tea, and limeade. As a bonus, free refills are an option. As another bonus, a pepper station has complimentary peppers for that extra spice. The portion size is perfect for your daily lunch, so get in "the habit" of indulging in this meal deal while it lasts. #thehabit #thehabitburgergrill #gottahabitmealdeals #halfchickenclub #tempuragreenbeans #fountaindrink #pepperstation #thehabitburgerandgrill read more

This was delicious and the best burger, service & milkshake I've ever had. The staff was friendly. I've never been here and plan to come back. The portions are great & the value is awesome. I ordered from the Kiosk & unfortunately it doesn't let you customize meal orders. I wanted sweet potato fries and their Orange Dreamsickle Shake. I only could've ordered the fries and regular drink. There was an $80cent difference if I were to choose & customize my meal. I ordered a double cheeseburger and it was so good I ordered another to go The staff was so friendly & noticed I wanted to change my fries they offered me an order of sweet potato fries. They go beyond their means to please their customers. read more

The Habit Burger Grill has tasty, flame-grilled burgers with a nice smoky flavor and solid sides like tempura green beans were delicious . As for New York-- hopefully they open one here read more

Char burger was delicious I think the fries are decent but rather have the fries from at least 3 other places and that give more at same price point. I think they need more salt and to be crisper but then again that could just my personal preference. I will say the service and friendliness here seems much better than the typical other chains. The place has a cleaner feel as well. I wish the app had more deals to compete with the other chains and their daily deals as well. read more

I recently returned to my prior stomping ground to visit some of my family members in Bergen County, NJ. When I lived in this area I loved to visit this place when I shopped at nearby Total Wine. The place is located in a strip mall. I was here around dinner time. The place was slightly busy. Well this time I again enjoyed my American Double Santa Barbara Char burger for $8.69 and a vanilla shake with whip cream for $5.39. I have not enjoyed the Santa Barbara Char since I moved from Bergen County in September 2021. The burger was very filling. I literally had to force the burger down my throat. I was so full. Too much to eat. I drank my shake after I returned to my local hotel. My total bill was $15.01 excluding gratuity. I will return here again on my next visit to Bergen County, which will be in May. read more

I'm sure there are great minds contemplating $150 tasting menus, but the world overall benefits more from those who are trying to make fast food less mundane. The open-flame burger cooking is an obvious selling point, but Habit offers non-burger incentives. The beverage game is better than usual for the genre, including the tropical tea. Can't think of another spot that offers a hot pepper bar or provides Cholula packets. The workers were cheerful every time I was here. Enjoyed mixing it up on the side item, opting for tempura string beans, as well as on the main event, opting for the avocado-laden Santa Barbara Char. At the risk of offending practitioners of the In-N-Out religion, Habit might be my favorite among California-derived chains or maybe even the whole game. read more

Although maybe not my favorite fast food burger, Habit is a good place for a quick meal. Besides their great char grilled burgers they offer hot dogs, grilled cheese, grilled chicken, chicken club, BLTS, even Ahi tuna sandwiches ( so its frozen, its fast food) Again it's all about the burgers ( meat, veggie ( portabella much room, or Impossible Burger) A Teriyaki Burger with grilled pineapple, and my favorite: The Santa Barbara burger with Two freshly char grilled beef patties, avocado, caramelized onions, American cheese, crisp lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo on grilled sourdough. More than the usual "add ons" too ( Avocado, pickled peppers) Pretty good choice if you're in the mood for a decent fast food burger. read more

PROS: The staff was nice, menu variety plentiful, and the food tasted fresh. Loads of parking and they made the food fast. CONS: the floor and a few tables were messy which tells me they don't do rounds on the floor to clean often. Their food is also overpriced. a milkshake, 6oz burger, and a small order of fries came to $15 OVERALL: I'll definitely come back here if im in the area, but ill be mindful of the prices when I do come back read more

Been coming here since they opened in town a few years ago and figured it was about time they got a review. Overall, food is fantastic compared to other burger places. Prices used to be better but have gotten up there recently which is the reason for the 4 stars but still not as expensive as their competitors. I like how the food is not so greasy. They are pretty timely with getting things out and have never waited that long. Staff is always kind and I like the vibes/music they play when dining in. If you haven't been, definitely worth the visit. read more

Got the Korean BBQ Char it was $8 and change . Order with the leaf lettuce. For the price I thought the burger would've been decent size. That's not the case. The braised beef they add also wasn't that great. It had a weird flavor to it. I'll just stick to the teriyaki char going forward. read more

If you want fresh food at reasonable prices, this is one of the places to go to. I think the food might even be cheaper than a diner but portion is slightly less. Obviously known for their char burger which is a decent size, with a fresh grilled burger patty. Their fries and fountain drink is not too shabby either. They have this lemonade and hisbiscus type drink that is good. Plenty of seating inside. It is part of a strip mall so plenty of parking available. Their shakes are not bad either, definitely a good burger chain where I would come again. read more

The burgers and fries here are great! I love the mushroom burger the most. Always cheesy and good. The prices are really good too especially for the delicious fresh burgers you receive. The employees are kind as well. It gets busy around 4/5 and they seem stacked with orders. Takes about 15-25minutes for the order to be ready usually, depending on how busy it is. The place itself is nice, there's a lot of seating. It's a nice place to eat and dine in at. They give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready and you pick up your tray yourself and choose where to sit. My burger has been raw once which was unfortunate. But 95% great! read more

My husband and I were in the mood for some good burgers, so we stopped by Habit Burger. We've been here before, and really enjoy their Portobello burgers and tempura green beans. Not greasy and yet it's filling and hits the spot. The location was spacious and clean, and the service was good. Definitely on our list for good local burger places in the area. read more

Habit Burger & Grill - Portobello Char Burger, onion rings, and tempura green beans - Burgers Near Me - River Edge, New Jersey

Fries soggy, burger with absolutely zero taste to it and just smothered in Mayonnaise - the fact that this has burger in it's name is just a wild concept to me. McDonalds next door is crap but at least it has flavor to it. I went right at noon and saw absolutely no one in there so that was a big red flag. Don't eat here if you want a good burger. I actually took a bite and just threw it out - i mean it cost way to much, but i'm not wasting my calories on subpar food. This is the reason why most of us stopped going to restaurants and are just cooking at home. read more

This is my go-to burger spot. I normally do pick up and order through their website which I strongly recommend. You can customize your burger as well as set a pick up time that's convenient for you. Price: The prices here are certainly competitively priced. A regular charburger runs for about $4.50, sides such as fries or tempura green beans are about $3. Two people can have a meal for $20 which is nice. Quality: The charburgers are great, especially for the price. I'm a fan of their tempura green beans, this was the place where I first discovered them! I've never had an issue with the food from here. Parking: Conveniently in a shopping center with ample parking. It has a total wine, CVS, and many more stores next to it. This location also offers curbside pickup which I've done many times. They do take longer to arrive to your car (about an extra 10 mins). I suggest picking up at the store if you need to be in an out quickly. read more

I went there for the first time today. The staff was nice. The char dbl cheeseburger was drowned in mayonaise and tasted like cardboard. I could not finish it. I looked forward to trying their burger and wanted to like it but didn't. I won't be going back. read more

Been patronizing this location for years through ups and downs and endless changes of managers and crew. For fast food taste, service and price, this Habit is good value and convenient. Staff is generally pleasant and helpful. When we want a no fuss, inexpensive meal, we get Habit takeout, eat in sometimes and never get delivery. Yes they screw up sometimes - get the order wrong, something was off, fries not right, etc. - but in our experience the business has always made it right, usually with a replacement order or a makeup gift certificate and an apology. BTW, quick response to complaints. Overall, the Charburgers are decent, chicken sandwiches and salads make a nice change of pace. Love the tempura green beans. You can always get complimentary extra sauce, dressing, etc. just ask. All in all glad this Habit is here and we will continue to enjoy. read more

Habit Burger & Grill - Sorry I started before but omg so goood!! Way better than shake shack!! - Burgers Near Me - River Edge, New Jersey

This place reminds me of home. I grew up in So Cal where this location was right near the beach. After a day of riding my bike near the beach or playing in the sand I would head here for the best burger and milkshake. That grew into me doing the same with my son. We would stop at The Habit for milkshakes after walking the pier all sweaty and it was always amazing. This location brought me happiness! It is CLEAN. The guy taking my order was pleasant and smiled and asked if needed a separate water cup since I only ordered one drink for two of us. Small touches like employees not staring at their phone or not making eye contact make a big difference. I ordered my OG favorite. The teriyaki char burger. For $3.99 it will always hold a place in my heart for a budget friendly taste bud orgasm food. They also have really decent chicken for kids! Burgers are the business here. I prefer them over shake shack. They are right next to In n OUt in my book. Keep up the good work habit!!! read more

Nicest workers. I love their burgers. Chopped up onions and all. The chicken ones are good too. Only thing that is annoying me at the moment is a nagging mom two tables away. Lol let your kids relax. Hope mom drinks some wine when she gets home. read more

My family knows I have 2 go-to's when it comes to late dinners out and The Habit Burger Grill makes it on that list. There's a good selection of burgers/salads and everyone in my family always finds something they like on the menu. I always get the Santa Barbara Cobb Salad. They just get me when it comes to the crunchiness of the bacon. The way they make their chicken goes great with the rest of the salad and it doesn't hurt that they give you a generous amount of guacamole to top it off. We also ALWAYS order Tempura Green Beans. They're probably the only side that's sooo good that I purposefully won't get french fries (& I LOVE french fries). This trip was particularly pleasant. There must have been a misunderstanding when we were ordering and we were missing parts of our meal. The manager apologized and offered to give my dad his order of french fries on the house. We really appreciated that and The Habit Burger Grill stays on my list of go-to's! read more

Had the pretzel burger today. I asked for one with no mayo i got one with mayo. i asked for spicy green peppers with the stems, i got jalapeño sliced peppers. The pretzel burger overall is not good, when you add the mayo to it it turns into a greasy bun with mayo. read more

I am a repeat customer I love this place , today I ordered the double char burger and the large fries my fries were cold and the char burger did not taste the same, the patties were very thin and the taste was not the same so I asked the manager if they are using frozen meat to which he admitted they were. I like to ask why would you change something good to a thin not so tasty burger? read more

Cute spot that serves up decent burgers. A friend and I went for dinner on a Sunday night. We got there before the dinner rush so ordering and finding a table was easy-peasy. The gentleman who took our order was lively and very friendly. It was kind of alarming how positive he was (lol) but he was a great help. After we placed our orders (Double Char Burger, Lettuce Wrapped Char Burger, Fries, and Milkshake) we find a spot to sit. They give you one of those devices that alerts you when your order is ready so there's no waiting around aimlessly. The burgers are filled with so much flavor. It did get messy a bit but I'd rather have a super juicy burger than a dry one. Ordering a burger to be lettuce wrapped sometimes is a gamble because you never know if they're gonna be wrapped in just one single lettuce leaf or what but no worries for that here. Their fries are also super crunchy outside and fluffy on the inside which is my favorite. Everything tasted good and we enjoyed our meals tremendously. We were able to sit around for a little while to chat and didn't feel pressured to leave. It was very spacious, clean, and nicely decorated! It's a food place for a quick meal but also to sit down, eat, and hangout. read more

Today they messed up my order yet again for the 5 or 6 times out of past 10 times. This time 2 out of 3 burgers were made incorrectly and I don't have complicated order! They were all online orders so either they have eye problems or just making burgers up to their liking. read more

Easily my favorite burger out now, so good every time I get it, cannot stop coming back. Food comes out extremely fast for a large amount. You get to come in and sit down at a comfy booth while waiting. You are in there for an hour max. Service is amazing whenever you ask them for something. read more

Hands down the best burger joint ever! It beats shake shack, in & out, Marty's, etc. I don't know how they do it but the charred burger is so juicy and flavorful. I always get it with fries and onion rings which are so so good. I also love that you can get jalapeños and banana peppers on the side. The ambience is chill, the place is always clean, and the employees are always friendly. A 10/10 consistent experience every time and I highly recommend!! read more

I come here all the time and there's never any issues. This time, I was in a rush and had ordered my food 20 mins before I had to leave. All I ordered was a burger and a salad. The ETA was 6 minutes. I pulled up for curbside pick up but they never came out. So when I went in and asked for an update, they told me they didn't even start making it yet. Not only was I too late for what I had to do, but when I asked for a refund, the manager says that was something I had to take care of. When I asked her how to go about doing that, she got flustered and told me I have to email Habit Burger. She was claiming that they don't get the orders and even though I ordered through the HABIT BURGER website, that it goes through a third party before reaching them so they're not responsible for the refund. After she took down my information, I asked her to send the email instead, and she reluctantly agreed. She told me I'd have to wait because she wasn't going to send it now. So instead of prioritizing the issue in front of her, she procrastinated and went off to do other things. So I left and came back an hour later. Attached is what she sent as the reason for my refund "did not want to wait for food". My ETA for a BURGER AND SALAD was 6 minutes (as always). This whole ordeal took 30 minutes (at that point my food hasn't even touched the grill) and I received the lousiest service I've ever had at this location. I'd never seen this manager either. Awful experience. Awful service. Not only was she unapologetic but she lied in the refund email. Do better Habit Burger. read more

Wife was dying to try this place, so we finally had time and came in. The place was fairly clean and modern inside. Very nice pictures on the wall. All in all a nice place to enjoy dinner. Customers could do a little better job cleaing up after themselves.... and the big high table needed to be cleaned better. Floor was also a little sticky near the soda machines. There were about 8 employees working in the back, all very busy doing one thing or another. The lady taking orders was very friendly! I got the double charr burger I added avocados on top as well as bacon. Wife and father in law both got the chicken sandwich. Also had the fries, sweet potato fries, tempura green beans and onion rings. To drink I got the nectar something. The nectar was suppppper strong! cut it with atleast a ton of ice and half water! Super sweet. Once I did it, it was much better. The sides were pretty decent. I enjoyed the green beans! Im personally not a fan of onion rings, but my wife thought that they were pretty good. My double char was dripping in grease.... I do not know why burger chains love doing that. Other than the grease, it was an ok burger. Really nothing special. Wife and her dad but enjoyed the chicken sandwich. I had a couple bites, and it was pretty good. If I ever went back id stick to the chicken, but probably not going to try this place again. read more
