Outdoor eating! freezing inside.
Ashley Q.

My grandude wanted a hamburger. I don't eat meat, so I ordered their veggie burger. I eat veggie burgers and black bean burgers everywhere I go that offers them. This by far ranks at the very bottom of the list. It was horrible. Tasteless patty. I asked for a sesame seed bun, it was dry & had about 6 sesame seeds on it. Prices of sesame seeds must have gone way up?!! He Asked if I wanted cheese. Yes please. add: $1.00. (Which he didn't tell me). I think they should automatically tell you price and say AMERICAN CHEESE, when asking btw. And... turns out, it wasn't CHEESE. It was fake plastic white American processed garbage cheese!!! Gross. I couldn't even scrape it off the bun as it melded into bun and patty. Tomato: tasteless. And cucumbers??? That was a first!! I'll just say: weird to that. I ate those separately. we had to sit outdoors because it was FREEZING inside. My grandude liked his burger tho. But, he's 7... so idk if he knows what a good burger tastes like? I will never be caught dead in this chain restaurant in my life. It Boasts fresh ingredients... but how is processed American cheese fresh?? if you don't eat meat... do yourself a favor and get a pizza next door at DELISH... it looked amazing as there were 4 guys also sitting outside acting one and it looked ... well....delish! **please do not give me your corporate nonsense reply from business manager... I'm not taking anymore time out of my life. Refunding my money from last night around 8 pm would be the only answer $16.57 !! ***

Baja Crispy Fish
Juan C.

I have to give this review based on the newest menu item, the Baja crispy fish sandwich which i paid about $11 for the said item. This is one of the worst fish sandwich, maybe even the worst sandwich I have ever ate. Small portion, bland taste, too much tasteless sauce, I couldn't believe habit of all places would offer something like this. The restaurant itself is fine, it's clean and the staff is friendly, but man you can't trust everything offered on their menu these days. I usually love habit and will continue to give them a chance but steer clear of new items.

$8 gotta habit meal deal
Steffany I.

We've been visiting Habit more recently since enjoy the burgers and sandwiches. Burgers are decent sized, probably comparable to the size of In n Out burgers. I personally prefer their sandwiches and salads. Our kids also love the kids meal that come with the little burger gummy. Prices for combo meals are definitely higher than your standard fast food joint. However, the do have some budget type meals. This last visit I got the $8 gotta habit meal which came with half a chicken club, tempura green beans, and a drink. For $8 bucks it was really filling! We've been to this location a couple of times in the last months and while we do enjoy the food, there have been issues with our orders. Thankfully they were easy fixes but I do have to check if our order was right each time. Otherwise everything is clean and a good sitting available inside and outside. Staff keeps busy but remain friendly and helpful.

Kitchen area beyond the counter
Tom B.

Overall this is best to say it's a 2.5 star review. I have never been to a Habit Burger and wanted to finally try it. Boy, was I disappointed. The entire experience seemed disorganized and complicated. You go to a kiosk to order, which is perfectly OK, right as you enter... but there isn't enough room for more than three to four people to stand there, so if more they're at the door waiting to get in. The kiosk is intuitive enough but when I went to put in my email address for a receipt there was no '.' on the screen for a .net or .com. I looked and looked holding up people behind and it was frustrating. Finally it just timed out on me. No receipt. The text message told me to go to the counter for a drink cup. Stood there for 10 minutes and no one came or acknowledged me. They were apparently way understaffed. Having your cell phone number they use it to text when your order is ready and by the last four digits to call it out as well. It took around twenty minutes to get the order and it wasn't all that crowded. They seemed to be very harried in getting things out. The prep and kitchen. Is right in view so not so easy to miss. I got a regular burger meal w/o cheese with fries and a drink, and yes it is char broiled, but didn't taste any better than any other burger anywhere. It was ordinary, at best. The fries were good, not too greasy and I had a store supplied iced tea that didn't do anything much for me either. Combined I had an upset stomach which never happens to me. In the end there was no reason for me to ever return. In-N-Out is closer to my home, far more efficient in service with much better food. Plus the price point here far exceeds In-N-Out so the value doesn't exist either. Sorry, this didn't cut it.

Tempura Green Beans
Belinda C.

I haven't tried a char burger yet, so my review may be considered premature, but I do love the 250 calorie Tempura Green Beans and the 600-800 calorie milkshakes. Strawberry milkshake and the new holiday Peppermint Bark milkshake are thick and creamy (and both pink!) You get one complimentary sauce with your side. Additional sauces are $0.60 each as of 12/2024. Sauces are Spicy Red Pepper, Sweet Mustard, BBQ, Teriyaki, and Signature Ranch. You can either order from one of three huge tablets or from the counter. The manager David is friendly and animated, encouraging me to take pictures of the new menu and chatting with me about cooking and working happily for Habit Grill. His favorite menu item is the Double Char with either a plain or sourdough bun. Restaurant looks contemporary inside. Indoor dining has about 10 tables for 4 and 2 tables for 2. You could separate some of the tables for 4 into 2 tables for 2. Outdoor dining with 5 tables for 4 and 2 tables for 2. If you're from Santa Barbara, you might like taking a photo by the "Born in Santa Barbara" wall mural: Habit Burger was established 1969 in Santa Barbara, CA.

I ordered a BBQ BACON CHEESEBURGER and I got a sad excuse of something. I'm so disappointed in this place! You can see for yourself in my pictures. I ordered delivery and this is what I got. I can't believe this was a $12 burger BY ITSELF!!!

First time trying this place after hearing about it on the radio. There arent many places where you…read morecan get a wrap. 5/5 The employees were really nice, explained the items on the menu. The wraps were so good, and the appetizer we got was bomb too. I really enjoyed their "house" sodas & unique flavors. Honestly I cant wait to come back and try some other stuff on the menu!

Disappointing Experience Due to Food Safety Concern…read more I visited this restaurant on Wednesday for lunch. This was actually my second time dining here. My first visit was pleasant, which is why I decided to come back. This time, I ordered what I believe was the tri-tip steak wrap. As I was finishing the first half of my wrap, I noticed a dead fly in my food. Needless to say, I was shocked and immediately lost my appetite. I walked to the front and asked to speak with a manager. The cashier who helped me was very friendly and professional. I explained the situation to her, and she relayed it to the manager. While I do appreciate that they refunded my meal, what disappointed me most was the manager's response. He never came over to speak with me, apologize, or acknowledge the situation directly. From where I was standing, he appeared visibly disturbed when informed, but he simply instructed the cashier to issue a refund and never addressed me as the customer. I understand that mistakes happen and that it was a busy lunch rush. However, finding a fly in a meal is a serious food safety issue, and I believe a manager or owner should take a moment to personally speak with the customer, show concern, and offer an apology. A little empathy would have gone a long way. The refund was appreciated, but the lack of acknowledgment and customer care left a much stronger impression than the refund itself. Unfortunately, after this experience, I'm hesitant to return.

I've never seen food move through me with such speed and determination. Let's just say the bowl made a return appearance faster than I expected, and it wasn't pretty. To be fair, there are currently public health warnings about certain produce, including vegetables, berries, and cilantro, so I can't say with certainty what caused it. If any of those ingredients were involved, that could be the culprit. Either way, this restaurant should take a hard look at its ingredients, suppliers, and food safety practices to make sure everything they're serving is fresh and safe. The bowl tasted fine going down, but the aftermath was unbearable. I hope this was an isolated incident, but no customer should be spending the next hour making emergency trips to the bathroom after a meal. I sincerely hope the restaurant investigates and ensures their ingredients are safe, because this experience was one I'd rather never repeat.
