People talk about In n Out and Shake Shack but I weirdly feel like Habit Burger is one of my favorite burger joints around. The food is fairly priced, never greasy, feels relatively healthy/nutritious, and vegan substitutes are free. I usually like to get the grilled chicken sandwich (550 cal/40g protein) but you can't really go wrong with anything here. The veggie burger with a side of tempura green beans is another of my go-to orders. There are some awesome deals on the app, including free cheeseburgers for sign up, but unfortunately some of the coupons don't work reliably. I'll get a promotion and most of the time the link in the email returns a 404. Boooo! read more

Short walk distances to get around the plaza. So many food options, shops and grocery stores and movie theater. read more

And yet AGAIN, the take out order was messed up. It's almost a given that they will get it wrong and I'm wondering if it's on purpose. Hard to believe they would continue to hire people so incompetent. I know I sound harsh but for what they get paid they should have to do better. read more

I just had one of the new chicken wraps and it was great. The fries were kind of cold and soggy, but I re-crisped them at home. The best part of the meal was watching the young lady at the register interact with some intellectually disabled people that were ordering lunch. She was very kind, patient, and respectful. I know that's how all people should be treated, but that's not always the case. This was Thursday morning, 10:45. read more

Usually my favorite but idk what is happening to this location. Came during a non peak hour all the tables were filthy and the staff just refilling sauce containers? My chicken sandwich was different.. sloppy covered in onions. I will definitely consider a different location next time. read more

Always great veggie burgers and fries. Add the fried onions and you have a meal for a king ! It can take a bit of time to get your food, but it is worth every minute. The help is always friendly. It's a really a burger joint, but unlike in and out, they serve veggie burgers. ^^^^ 4 out of 5 carrots ! read more

Nice ambiance, friendly staff, and decent food, though the dishes felt a bit overpriced.

So i went to the Habit Grill today . I ordered through Grubhub. When I got there she said order ready she asked for my name and i gave her my name and she said not yours. The app was telling me still preparing so i was waiting the girl kept looking my way but never acknowledged me again . So someone came to grab their grubhub order when it clicked on me maybe the app is glitchy and it might be ready . So i asked her again if my order was ready. It was sitting all the way at the end and she said oh here it is. It was sitting there since i got there 40 mins later i get my cold order. I told the girl i told you my name which she said no you didn't i said yes i did. She kept saying no shrugged her shoulder and walked away . Terrible service from this cashier girl. She is not friendly at all. First and last time for me. read more

Today, my wife wanted to try the newly opened Habit Burger and Grill in Riverside. We order her food through the drive-thru. She is not a meat eater, so she ordered their veggie burger with cheese. She then asked if she could make her burger a combo meal, and informed her there was no combo meal available. Therefore, she had to order additional items separately (à la carte). She then ordered sweet potato fries, and a medium drink. Once she completed her order, we were given the total, $18.78. We were in disbelief!!!! Once we approached the drive-thru window, I asked the cashier if she had made an error in price, and she confirmed to me the correct price was $18.78. I explained that we could not believe the cost of a burger, fries and drink. I then informed her that we know she has no control over the cost, but we will not return after this visit. Chili's Grill and Bar here we come!!!!!! ​ ​ read more

Hard to go wrong with Habit. Food is good and the service is good as well. Great burgers and sandwiches

The food and service are solid, but the restaurant is not well maintained (ripped booths) and the tables are disgusting every time we eat there. We carry alcohol wipes in our toddler bag and wipe down the tables every time before eating. Even the indoor tables produce blackened wipes (see photo). If it wasn't for the times we eat on the patio, I don't think those tables would ever be cleaned. read more

Bailey at Habit Burger was absolutely incredible. She was so friendly, kind, and genuinely sweet from the moment I walked in. Even when I was having some issues while ordering, she was patient, helpful, and made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. Her warmth really stood out -- honestly more friendly and welcoming than I usually experience, and it made such a difference in my day. You can tell she truly cares about people. Habit is lucky to have her! read more

I love Yum Yum donuts, the customer service is amazing and the chocolate donuts are really good.

I live close to 2 Habits. We used to go 5-6 times a year. We really enjoy led their Santa Barbara hamburger. Our last 2 visits there have been bad. The avocado was black and in general the quality of everything was less. The prices have gone up drastically also. What's going on? It seems the help is getting younger read more

Ahi burger horrible 16.00 with cold onion rings horrible Charged extra .55 for 1 extra ranch dressing horrible Will not recommend The Habit Will not eat at the Habit read more

Best Hamburgers and salads! We plan on returning. Service was Five Star. Best hamburgers in town. And spicy green beans very good. Always finish with vanilla ice cream cone in a cup. read more

Went in for a soft serve ice cream, waited for quite some time at the register while an employee continued on with her business, not acknowledging us. We attempted to order from the touch screen, but soft serve was not on there. We continued to wait but the employee would not help us. She glances at us several times but left us hanging for a long time. We eventually left. I have never had this experience at The Habit before. I am disappointed. The young girl was not helpful, and what she did was just bad. Not even bad customer service because got go NO service. read more

In town for a short visit- tried habit riverside on a reccomendation- Great food - wife and I both enjoyed the Santa Barbara burger and the green beans... good stuff!

Tried the Charburger with cheese with fry and large tea. Charbuger was free from the app for my birthday week. Decided to use it before it expired. The service was great quick and hassle free. And it wasn't as crowded as I had thought it would be for a lunch time. Great service and great food. read more

Habit Burger & Grill - Free Charburger, fry, and lemonade tea. - Burgers Near Me - Riverside, California

Good food. The only thing that sucks is the parking lot can get crazy around lunchtime and parking can be hard to find.

I'll begin with the pros: they are very well stocked and are cleaner than most other ones I've been to. I was attended fast. Cons: it's been 15 minutes and I am still waiting on food. There's only 2 employees working from what it seems, and about 11 orders on their screen. read more

Habit Burger & Grill - Cheese burger w/ extra cheese - Burgers Near Me - Riverside, California

There were two things that i did not like about my experience today. I came in today to get the Santa Barbara char. I asked for no cheese about 3 times. And the girl told me there was no cheese on it even though the menu says it has it. Oh well. I order sweet potato fries and a drink as well. Sure enough, there was cheese on it. I told someone else about the issue and she took care of it. I had this one made to go. I got my order even though the meat seemed a bit cold. Also, I don't know what has happened with their mango drink, but it was absolutely awful. It smelled like cleaning spray and tasted really bad. I had to throw it away once I got home since I'm pregnant and it just didn't seem right. I hope they taste it and change it. read more

Hello, after reading a couple of pages of reviews and my visit to Habit, I would say they should consider bringing your food to the table, even Carl Jr does that! Especially considering the price. I noticed they have a " self order system" thats ok, I guess.. But are they trying to limit the human employee factor?? I have 3 thing's to say: 1- dont ask for a tip before you get served. 2- make the burger something special. 3- provide something sanitary for your guests to eat on besides a porley wiped table. ** The Habit team reached out to me the very next day! That is amazing and shows there willing to listen to my comments. I will try another location soon, and compare my suggestions. * changed to 4 stars *for now read more

I absolutely love the habit! I have never eaten at a bad one yet. Had lunch here after seeing a movie a couple of days ago and it was good and fresh and cooked perfectly. I will definitely return to this location. read more

Priscilla at the front counter was amazingly nice, very efficient, professional! And has a great sense of humor! If I had a business, I would offer her more salary to work at my company!! read more

No complaints about the food or the ambiance. It's always been clean and the staff is friendly. The two stars is because my online order did not "go through." I received two emails. The first one was to let me know that my order would be ready shortly. The second email was to let me know that my order was ready. My husband went to pick it up, and it wasn't there! This is the second time our order was not ready (the first time there was a fundraiser and they ran out of chicken, even though I placed the order in two hours ahead of pick up time). Anyway, my husband demanded the order be prepared and it was. The good thing is that we weren't charged twice. I don't know if we'll order online from the habit again. read more

Great location next to the theater! Love the ambiance in it mostly very quiet not as loud as other locations very clean not dirty either! I always order the number one which is very nice and crispy along with some fries just ask for the double char! The service can be slow on how well they're staff but not a bad experience would come back anytime! read more

I like typically like The Habit, but this location was the worst I've ever had. Paid a lot of money for the chicken club sandwich and it was so poorly thrown together the bread was falling apart. Service was horrible and employees are rude! read more

I don't even eat here cause law enforcement likes to eat here so much (gross) but I came by today to redeem a coupon and I gotta say the service was great! The food was good. When I got there I had problems getting my coupon to scan and I almost just said screw it and paid the full price so I didn't hold up the line, but Bailey was so sweet and patient with me about it. She gave me the time to figure out the barcode situation and didn't make me feel like a nuisance for taking too long. Awesome service and what we need more of in food industry jobs !! BAILEY NEEDS A RAISE !!! read more

The last few times that I've come in, the same girl has helped me, her name is Bailey (I believe that's her name) that girl is always smiling, very polite, very friendly, her tone is very welcoming when she speaks to me. I like her service a lot! Give that girl a reward or something. She does this location a lot of justice read more
