I've always loved Habit Burger & Grill. This was a place I would take my mother to when she wanted a burger but Nations and In-N-Out just couldn't hit the spot on that day. Some of the things I've always loved about Habit. -I think their milkshakes have always been so yummy-perfect thickness, perfect sweetness without tasting too artificial-for a very long time no visit was complete without one of their shakes. -I've always enjoyed their creativity when it comes to their sides-though I do love their regular fries, the fact that they have sweet potato options and also they have some sort of tempura option, currently they have tempura green beans-they are straight fire. -Another nice touch is that they have pepperoncini peppers and A-1 sauce in their condiment sections-both pretty unique options in the burger world. -I've always liked that if you join their rewards program, they always give you a free Charburger on your birthday-one of the best rewards of any rewards program. That takes us to this visit to Habit Burger on Howe Avenue in Sacramento. It was birthday season and my reward popped onto my app and I decided I was in the mood for a burger from Habit. So I pulled up my trusty app and went ahead and placed my order for a Charburger with cheese and picked out my customizations and placed my order and it was a pretty $0.00. Arriving at the burger shop, it's a small lot but they had plenty of parking. This location was very clean and had many tables in their dining area for those who choose to dine-in. Walking in my burger was ready in the bag in the spot where DoorDash and Uber Eats orders are placed. Generally when I place orders in person I use their handy kiosk that's at the door to place my order-they have a pretty efficient ordering system there at Habit. The plan was to eat when I got home, but that burger smelled so good in my car, it never even made it to the freeway-it was so good, patties had that nice char flavor and all the veggies were so fresh-it was absolutely delicious. In closing, I would highly recommend this location as they are efficient in their food preparation and they make a pretty quality burger-most of the time that's more than enough. I will be back soon. read more

Disappointing Customer Service Experience at Howe location on Friday, February 13, 2026 Dear Habit Burger & Grill Team, I recently visited your Howe ave locationwith my family for dinner on Friday, February 13, and I was disappointed by the decline in customer service compared to past experiences at this location. While I understand kiosks are now common, I strongly prefer interacting with a real person when ordering, especially for a sit-down meal. Navigating the kiosk feels slower and less personal for me. When we approached the front counter, the gentleman with frosted-tip hair (who identified himself as the manager) immediately told us he couldn't take our order because it was too busy. He directed us to use the kiosk, stating it would be faster and that counter ordering would take about 30 minutes. There was no greeting, no "thank you for coming in," or any standard hospitality--just a blunt redirection. A short time later, another customer approached the counter and was allowed to place their order directly with the same manager--no kiosk suggestion. That customer's food arrived before ours, which left us confused and feeling unfairly treated. This experience was frustrating and inconsistent with the welcoming, guest-focused service I remember from The Habit. I miss the days when employees greeted customers, took orders personally, and made the visit enjoyable. If this is the new standard--especially for those who prefer counter ordering--I'm likely to take my business elsewhere. I'd appreciate any insight into your current policies on kiosk vs. counter ordering and hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future guests. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, JT. read more

UPDATED REVIEW! My husband was craving a burger for lunch yesterday and we decided to stop in at this Habit Burger location for a quick bite before seeing a movie. We ordered at the kiosk and went with the $10 Gotta Habit Meal Deal which came with half of a Patty Melt, Fries, Chicken Bites and a drink. We also ordered a Kids Charburger meal (which was free with any $10 purchase) and an extra Charburger with Cheese. Everything came out to $21 and some change - that is cheap nowadays! All of the food came out hot and fresh! The Charburger was one of the better burgers that I've had in a long time - a little too much lettuce, but the burger was very flavorful. I even added pickled jalapenos to my burger that they offered at their condiments bar. Service was good - the woman calling out orders was efficient and communicated great. The inside was very clean and organized! Overall, I don't know why I always think "meh" when my husband mentions Habit Burger - I am never disappointed and I see now why they always make the list for one of the best burgers in town! read more

Absolutely the best hamburger I have eaten in 50 years! In and out is now second choice. Great service. Recommend talk out as seating is limited. read more

I haven't been coming to Habit Burger lately just cause I think the prices are just to high for what it is. It's a super good burger, but there IS a limit on how much I'd pay. My normal order is a Double Char Cheeseburger and fries and water, but that comes up to freakin' Almost $17 just for that! So, I just saw online that Habit has this deal, I think to fight off Chili's $10.99 burger deal, it called "$10 Gotta Habit Meal Deal." For $10 bucks, you get a half Santa Barbara grilled sandwich, fries or tempura green beans, FIVE piece chicken crispy nuggets, AND a large drink! You can get a salad instead of fries if you want. That's a ton of food for less than Chili's and there no tip required. My friend and I both got the $10 deal. She got the tempura green though, I got fries. Our food is ready, and holy guacamole! That's a lot of food! Good sized portions on the fries and fried beans. That Santa Barbara Grilled sandwich is stacked HIGH, with a full burger patty, cheese, grilled onions, guacamole, tomato and lettuce and mayo I think. Extra grilled onions, no CHARGE! My mouth barely opened wide enough and I can fit some big things in my mouth! The half sandwich was more than enough food! That's a tasty sandwich! The chicken nuggets were better than I expected, not really a fan of nuggets but they were included. My friend loves the Tempura green beans! Dipping sauces included. There's more meal deals too! Starts with $6.00 meal, wow that's Cheap! You get a half grilled chicken sandwich, with cheese, grilled onions, tomato and lettuce, fries or tempura beans, PLUS a drink! Shit, just the beans or fries are $4.49 ala carte! I might get this next time! I really hope these deals keep going! Note: you can only get the deals in person inside the store, no online orders or phone orders! read more

Got food poisoning after eating here on June 19th. Super slow service and unfriendly staff.

Restaurants was quiet and clean it was after the lunch rush. What are the chances of coming back and the person taking your order is the same person who took it last year waiting on you again Max provided the same great customer service he did before. I had a cheeseburger with and green beans everything was hot and cooked perfect. I remember to take pictures this time read more

WORSE EXPERIENCE EVER ! They wouldn't give me corporate number or the lady that was giving bad service name but I got a picture of her ! I ordered food and this lady had the worse attitude. Once I told her , she don't need to be rude that's when she held my food . People coming in after me getting there food before me! I had to wait 20 mins ! I watched my food just sit there and she wouldn't call my food order ! Had me waiting 20 mins! read more

Habit Burger & Grill - The rude lady that didn't want to give me my food once it was ready to be placed on counter! She's rude and bad customer service skills! - Burgers Near Me - Sacramento, California

The place is clean and looks good, but it is absolutely so slow. The service is slow. It shouldn't take 30 minutes I shouldn't be waiting almost 1520 minutes for a salad. You shouldn't let your workers go fraternize with your boyfriends if you know that you guys are slammed waiting It just seemed really unprofessional. If I can write a zero I would because how slow it was this crazy there were people there even before me waiting. It's just ridiculous and not OK. read more

Soooo yum! My favorite recently. They have a buy one get one free on Postmates. I like the double char wrapped in lettuce!! read more

My wife and I came here the other day before heading over to Punchline for a date night with some friends. This place is pretty much your typical Habit, which is a good thing. And it is a clean, well kept location. Everything came out fresh and hot, and the place felt well maintained. Solid spot for a good greasy burger. read more

Been ordering from here for years. Today I ordered and got cold food and did not get my entire order. when I called to complain they wanted to make me jump thru all these dumbass steps to get my food. Ultimately the were of NO help at all. screw this place as I will NEVER order from ANY habit burger again. If someone ask me where I can get a good hamburger I will tell them to avoid habit burger like the plaque! read more

Food is okay that's why I put a 1 star. Service sucks workers just talk no attention for customer and customer service. There whole staff working should get fired honestly the cooks were talking a storm while I was waiting on my food server doesn't greet anything or respond well. Restaurant was filthy definitely won't go to this location again. read more

What can I say about this place... I love burgers especially really good delicious burgers. this place is it when you are trying to eat good. Of course is not like fancy but it is still delicious with a decent price. The best is the double char for meaty taste. The people in the counter were great. The ambiance it was good not bad. Been coming here so many times. I do recommend to my fellow burgers lovers like myself. read more

I have visited Habit in Sonora, CA over 30 times, the last time there, I paid with a $20 bill and was given change back like I had given a $10.00 bill, I just ordered a burger, and was shorted $10.00. I have written to Habit corporate office, and they never responded! Last time I ever eat at Habit read more

Customer service is a a zero! Overcooked fries , onion rings were burnt, burgers wrong. The green beans were amazing though.

Good burger and good onion rings. I had the double char burger and it tasted really good and juicy. Onion rings just had the right amount of crunch to it. And it was so good dipping it in ranch dressing. I've never had a bad experience ordering at this place. Service was fast and the restaurant is bright and airy. read more

This burger joint is very clean. The employees are very courteous and greet you with a smile. The burgers are really good here. The double char is my go to and it does NOT disappoint. I really like the onion rings here too. The compliment the burger perfectly. Another awesome burger is their Santa Barbara Char. It has two freshly chargrilled beef patties, avocado, caramelized onions, American cheese, crisp lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo on grilled sourdough. Just delicious! read more

I have not been to this habit burger before but I decided to stop by and get lunch while visiting another establishment in the same center and was pleasantly surprised when the door was held open for me and I was greeted cheerfully. I felt very welcome walking in and I was helped with my mobile order immediately. As soon as it was finished the kind employee Drew handed it to me and made sure everything was correct before I headed home to enjoy my delicious meal. Truly a delightful experience visiting this Habit Burger today and I will be returning for the excellent service I received. 5 STARS!!! read more

Destination ahi tuna sandwich with a side of string beans. A very, very good Santa Barbara burger. Worth the price. Sterile, noisy dining area. Take out! read more

horrible customer service. they charge for extra ranch dressing. horrible place. don't eat here

I eat here often, but I'm increasingly frustrated with the number of times my orders are missing items. Whether it's sauces, an order of fries, or, most recently, the ranch and chunky avocado I paid extra for on my salad, it's a consistent issue. It's incredibly disappointing to come home and realize multiple items I paid for are missing. How hard is it to double-check an order and ensure everything is in the bag? At a minimum of $20 an hour, I expect better attention to detail and customer service. You should be better after a MAJOR raise, not worse. Please improve this process--it's getting old. read more

I picked up a Mobile order, which was just an Oreo shake and fries. When I arrive. The shake is on the counter, but no fries when I went to go ask The worker behind the counter If they have made The fries, he proceeded to give me a lot of attitude, saying the order had no fries. He didn't believe me until after I showed him the order receipt which seems insane to me. They definitely have screens back there so I don't know why he made it so hard to just check. read more

Went to Habit on National Cheeseburger Day. Order double char, green beans and ice tea. The cheeseburger was the biggest mess I've ever seen. I wrapped it back up and refused to even try to eat it. We went to McDonald's, Wendy's and Burger King to get burgers for a penny, 50¢ and free with purchase. The best cheeseburger was at Wendy's. Nice piece of lettuce, slice of tomato and bacon on the fluffiest bun I've seen in ages. Go Wendy's!! read more

Fast service and delicious food; however, a bunch of fries were left on the tray on our to-go order. It was soooo embarrassing, we actually had to ask the employee to give us the fries that we paid for and she held the tray while we removed the fries, we couldn't even get them all. Talk about an awkward moment. It was a horrible experience. read more

The company was able to correct the issue with the website and I'm receiving the offers now. Im happy, just wish they'd bring impossible burgers back :) read more

Delicious burgers and friendly staff. Been coming here for past several years and love the items in the menu which are very reasonably priced and delicious. read more

We ate an early lunch here after a soccer game and although we were practically the first customers, right at opening we were served with a smile. I love Habit because they have onion rings, one of my favorites. Our food was freshly made and while they were working on getting the restaurant opened our food was done quickly. Habit has great prices right in line with In-n-Out and much less expensive than Five Guys. I ordered a char cheeseburger protein style (lettuce wrapped), my son did a cheeseburger with a bun and fries. I substituted my fries in the meal for onion rings. I highly recommend Habit! read more

I'm all done with the this place lousy service and a terrible burger hardly any condiments and a sloppy burger overall

Their burgers are above average. They have a self order kiosks so you don't need to order from the cashier. They don't have many tables for how busy they were when we came in and had to take the food to go. Price is a bit on an expensive end for a fast food chain. read more

Ordered a couple sandwiches and fries on a Fri evening at 6pm. Only two people working and 5 or 6 customers already waiting. 20 min later, I inquired as to when food would be ready. The order was not even started. Asked for my $ back and the asst. mgr. gave me a receipt and said he would take care of it once less busy. No credit back 4 days later. Can't comment on the food as never tasted it. Won't be returning .... Ever! read more

Maybe second time I ate at Habit. It was very nice. I had the double char with cheese. My associate had the bbq char with bacon. Both were delicious and solid burgers. Also had the tempura beans and sweet potato fries. Both ok. Little cold and soggy, took us 10 min before eating, so don't think time should have been the issue. Flavor of those 2 items was nice. Shake was 2nd best one I've had, so that's pretty decent. Service was decent, not super-fast, but they were very helpful, nice and efficient. Ambiance was chill. Low volume music, some chatter, not loud nor silent. Place was clean and pleasant. Would come back again. read more

This place is fire! The constant seasonal new release they do is always exciting because they're always very tasty and there has never been an item on the menu i didn't love! I'm always looking forward to trying the new seasonal menu item! Totally recommend to try this if you haven't tried it out yet! read more

Super super disappointed in the service I received tonight. Not only did it take 14 minutes longer than while I was told the anticipated pick up time was. My sandwich which comes with bacon had no bacon on it whatsoever. I also specifically asked for ranch with my tempura green beans, no ranch I double checked my order and the tag on the outside of the bag it made no mention of altering or removing the bacon And said one side sauce. A.k.a. the ranch that was missing. read more

Great burger. It's a good value and a really good burger. Awesome sweet potato fries. Good service and clean restaurant
