I just got done at the tire place just down the street and decided it's time to get something to eat, and this habit is right here! Easy parking and just go right in. No line cause it's just after opening. I get my usual double charburger with cheese with added extra grilled onions. I love grilled onions and they add them for free! Prices are up but what the hell, I'm on an expense account. I did skip getting fries, just to try to cut back on the carbs! Just water to drink too! I get the little buzzy thing and sit at a nice table. In short order, the buzzy thingy goes off and I go up to get my burger. It looks good and wrapped perfect! I sit down and pose my burger for a pic of course! Then I bite in. Here's a tip on eating burgers, to get more of that meaty charbroiled taste, turn the burger upside down, so the meat is on the bottom. That way the meatyness will hit your tongue first and yo get a more meaty flavor experience! Trust me it works! Flip it back and take another bite.... yeah, makes a difference! I close my eyes taking that first bite and I feel this cloud of happiness descend down on my head ... oh yes, this is the Habit double charburger with cheese! read more

Highlight was the Oreo milkshake (5/5). The chicken club (4/5) was good too but i wish had more chicken. The crispy chicken bites (4.5/5) were my favorite--crispy, flavorful, and especially good with their dips! read more

Friendly staff, clean bathrooms, prompt service, fresh food made a good visit. I was not rushed and they weren't very busy.

I had the Santa Barbara Burger. It was delicious! I only wish there was a bigger selection for cheese on the burger. As I was eating it, I kept thinking how good it would taste with Swiss cheese. read more

After spending two hours at the Xfinity store next-door, my cousin Joyce and I needed to replenish our energy, so we stopped in here for a quick lunch. Everything came out hot and fresh, but I felt like it was on the salty side and only ate half my burger. Service was wonderful and the restaurant extremely clean and welcoming. read more

Ordered through GrubHub, which I have done numerous times... and my order was screwed up. Long day, exhausted, starving... come home to an incorrect burger and no sauce despite everything being correct on the receipt. It frustrates me to no end that people can not follow instructions. I assume reading comprehension is not their strong suit and would encourage some training on that end. Thankfully it's all preference and not allergy related, and I'm a grown up who can problem solve so I still have a tasty dinner... but I am truly unhappy and will avoid this location in the future. read more

The weekend night manager is the best. Great service from her and the food was great as well. Definitely deserves a raise.

Surprisingly much better than anticipated. Keep up the good work :) Food was good, tasted fresh and not skimpy. Well portioned for all toppings. read more

Visited here to get two charburgers to go and they tasted good! Every time that I have dined in or taken my order to go the food is always delicious and I appreciate the consistency. I like how the food is good quality, affordable and the service was fast and friendly. This location is quieter compared to other locations which is nice because there is less of a wait time and less crowds. Ambience: casual Parking: a lot of parking read more

I went in on a Sunday night to get food, ordering my food it was given to the customers in front of us. We found out we had the wrong order so Jaylen went out and retrieved my order and offered to remake it to which I said yes please. During our wait she was very apologetic and even offered my daughter and myself one free menu item. Then a few minutes later Maria came over and offered us another item and if my daughter would like an ice cream cone! Usually with reviews people only leave the negative but this visit was turned around by the exemplary customer service skills of Jaylen and Maria. If this reaches the higher ups they should be recognized because good workers such as them are extremely hard to find. Way to go Jaylen and Maria!!!! read more

Clean and organized environment. They have both self order via touch screen tablet and order via by person. The order came quick. The food was good for $6 combo meal (March 2024). read more

First of all, I will never go to that Habit location again. I ordered the Double Char Meal online and went out and picked up the meal. I asked the lady on the counter if she can give me onion rings instead, and she refused and lectured me how to order it separately instead of a male package. Then, i ordered an extra onion rings paying extra 5 dollars, and took the French fries out of the package and kept them on the counter. The onion rings took a lone time to cook and they came out real dark. I believed it was a part of a her lecture on me for ordering wrong online. I asked her to cancel the onion ring and she asked me to wait and turned back round and talking to other people who worked back there in Spanish calling me "such and such", which she thought i did not understand. I waited for awhile and asked her to refund the order that i place it online. She refused and aske me to wait again. After awhile, she came out form a room and told me to write down my name and phone number instead of refunding me. I told her no and request my money back. She finally gave up and gave me my money back. She claimed that she is a manager on in that store when i asked to allow me to speak to he manager. This was the story of my my unfortunate lunch experience this afternoon. I went back to work late from my lunch with empty stomach. Basically, I was treated like a beggar. How could onion rings request turned into my ruin lunch although it was paid for? How do your management assigned incompetence inexperience manager? Should i go there again to get an ugly lunch experience? Explain that to me with your comment sense. If you were in my shoes will you go there again? read more

I was in town from NY and wanted to try different burger joints in the area. After a lackluster and disappointing visit at in-n-out, I hit up the habit. I had the double char burger with cheese and a steak sandwich. The steak sandwich came with ciabatta bread with holds up well. The steak wasn't the best but what do you expect from a fast food joint. It was delicious and pretty filling.4/5. The double char burger with cheese was the bomb!The patty was nice and juicy with that charred, smokey flavor. It was fantastic, would buy again in a heartbeat. 4/5. Please give this place a try. read more

I think I like this location more than the Almaden one. More parking here and less busy so the wait time was fast! I came here to redeem my free birthday burger and of course had to order some fries to go with! Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The store is clean and organized. My cheese charburger was so delish!! No complaints here. I would definitely come back. read more

Wanted to redeem a coupon today so I came in. I always love the Habit but haven't ever eaten at this location. Very clean, very friendly service . Jaylin was SO sweet and patient so HELPFUL. I always have to point out good customer service when I see it!! Thank you Jaylin! read more

What's not to love about this place? I didn't even know about this location. After Gavin's hockey class we ended up here on a rainy and cold Saturday. We came right before the rush. + inexpensive + fast + friendly service We ordered the kid's char burger, add cheese and opted for applesauce instead of fries and a Santa Barbara Char, lettuce-wrapped. We did not order these but consider it if you want to be gluttonous: onion rings and chocolate milkshake. read more

Greasy, greasy everything. If you like your food fried, grilled, and shiny with oil, The Habit Burger Grill might be a good go-to. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of greasy fingers and face while trying to eat a sandwich that I thought was supposedly on the healthier side (avocado is deceiving) :( Nice restaurant interior. Friendly staff. Relatively timely service. It took about 10-15 minutes for our food to come out. Tempura Fried Green Beans || $2.95 Decent. Not as crisp or crunchy as I'd expected. But if you want a change from normal fries, there's green beans here. Santa Barbara Char || $8ish Two super thin beef patties topped with cheese, avocado, mushrooms, and the works. They toast the sourdough bread on the grill, but as a result the bread comes off slick with oil. The mushrooms and avocado are a nice touch, but my stomach keeled a bit from the amount of oil in general. Was only able to finish half my sandwich before I called it quits. The menu items are on the pricier side in general, especially if you want any of the specialty char burgers. Unfortunately I don't think some of them merit the high price tag. After my experience, I'm less apt to come here again. Would probably try another burger joint next time I want a sandwich/burger! read more

I ordered take out/delivery from this location so can't speak to the establishment however the food was fantastic! I'm always skeptical when ordering out because the food temp is wonky but when it arrived everything was great! I got the Santa Barbara Char with spicy lime siracha green beans (tempura style). The burger had 2 juicy good patties and all the fixings were fresh. The tempura green beans were actually spicy (which is always rare for a fast food place). All in all, if your looking for good quality fast food, the habit should definitely be on that list. read more

I tried this place on a Saturday around 12:30pm and there were not too many people here. I thought this location was a little hidden unlike the Habit Burger Grill on Almaden Expressway which was where my friend and I were going to go to originally. The interior was similar to the other Habit Burger Grill locations. I ordered the Santa Barbara Char meal ($11.29) with French Fries. We waited a few minutes before the pager buzzed. The Santa Barbara Char was good and had a lot of avocado in it. They also gave a lot of French Fries when compared to other locations from what I remember and they were good. Good food here and I'll be back in the future. read more

Golden fried chicken with that spicy red pepper sauce is one if my favorite things at the Habit. And I mostly pair it with the Mocha or Coffee hand crafted milkshakes. Milkshakes are thick, creamy and almost frozen. With at least a 1000 liquid calories, their milkshakes won't disappoint you! But hey once in a while is kind of ok. Right? This particular location has plenty of parking - thanks to being part of a rather huge plaza. Pretty spacious and clean. Service was decent. But it was so so cold inside. Especially in winters it's kind of annoying as you would expect warm interiors. read more

Service: The service was fast! I got there around 1:30pm on a Saturday and the wait wasn't too bad. Atmosphere: Very chill spot. Clean and conveniently located near a few highways. Food: I got the Char mean which came out to $9.82 which included the burger, fries, and a drink. The burger was very basic. I added chili peppers, jalapeños, and pepperonis all of which you can get on your own next to the ketchup spot. Fries were okay taste like frozen fries. Note : I shared half my burger and I was still really full! read more

I had a bad experience at Red Robin at Eastridge Mall which caused me to drive over to Habit. The experience was night and day, which is shocking to say as Habit is a walk up and order vs RR being Dine-In, which we didn't even make it past the hostess at RR because that's where it all went south. You can access my account and read that review (if you'd like). Back to Habit, we were pleasantly greeted by the cashier, who was extraordinary friendly. She took our order, ensured that we knew what came standard on the burger, was patient while we read through the menu, offered us assistance with any of the items as well. Once we were finished ordering she pointed out that the seating was limited because they were prepping for closing (an hour early) - this is the only reason why I gave 4 stars and not 5. If you close at 10pm, then start your closing 20-30 minutes before hand, not an 2 hours. The seating was limited to one booth which was closest to the door, not where I would've chosen to sit to be honest, but again I was very impressed as I would consider them more fastfood walk up than Red Robin. read more

I wish I could give a shout out to one of their employees by name but it was not listed on the receipt. I was there 8/29 around 1pm when the very young lady in a red shirt ( others wore black) helped with my order regarding my birthday coupon via the app. The registrar would not accept my Santa Barbara Char order. As the coupon stated only for Charburger, she suggested Char ChzBurger with American, SUB Sourdough, XTRA Patty, ADD Avocado. And it worked! Very inventive of her Another shout out to the cooks and fryer for this burger and extra crispy French fries. They know how to do "XTRA Crispy" for the 2nd time in a row. This store has excellent employees exhibiting friendliness and terrific customer service. read more

Order was wrong and an hour after I ate I got really sick and threw up when I was at work. Had to leave work because of how horrible I felt.

I am a regular customer to this location [who orders same sandwich everyday]; so almost everyone knows me and my order. I am happy to drive here than other closer locations because of customer service (friendly and happy staff). Food is just as good as other Habit locations. I like the fact that I can find good parking to pick up food. Most of all, I appreciate staff working here through covid with great attitude (as far as I interacted with them). I thank the Habit staff whenever I can. Also, thanks for taking time to read my review. Ram. read more

Really enjoy eating at The Habit Burger Grill. They don't just have burgers, they have delicious burgers compared to other burgers. You can order them just how you like it with your favorite toppings. The tempura string beans with Sriracha sauce are a must try. Now they have a new habit burger on Monterey Road near Alma which makes it very convenient if you live in the San Jose area. read more

This was my go to location since they opened but now my last. The employees are not welcoming and need to work on their customer service!

This location is disgusting. Years ago I loved the habit but after trying this one for the first time, I will never ever try any other location. That is how absolutely disrespected I felt after just trying to order curbside on my lunch... Before I clocked out for lunch I went to the website and ordered my food for curbside. I received a message saying it would be done and ready by 12:49. I parked in the curbside spot and checked in and waited for my food... it wasn't until 12:57 that it was ready and I had to go inside and get it... then once I got back to my car the order was wrong. At this point I went in and said "can I please just get a refund? My order was late and now incorrect and I just need to get back to work" they let me know that no one but the manger could talk to me... when someone came out I asked if she was the manager and she just stuck a sign in my face and pointed to where it said no refunds for online orders..... I said "okay I paid for an order I didn't even receive and you can't give me a refund? Can you at least just give me what I paid for???" An extremely rude cashier steps in and says, "You can have your order but you are going to have to wait!" I replied, "Sir I am already 10 minutes late to my job you can understand that I'm in a hurry you clearly have a job can I please just have those fries that are ready right there and the drink?" A different employee had started to grab those fries and he stopped her.... "IM SORRY WE CANT DO THAT! That's not fair to give you someone else's fries! What if you get sick?" At this point I am so mad... This sassy, disrespectful employee is just trying to make my life harder. "Sir what's fair is that my order was supposed to be done at 12:49 therefore I should already have the correct order." I stated. He then rebuttals, "I'm not saying we aren't in the wrong okay?? I'm just saying you have to wait!" This whole time is he giggling and being a complete creep. I'm not sure how he has a job in an area where people work so hard and customer service is so important. I truly hope the habit deals with their completely untrained staff. At least teach them customer service basics. ***YOU NEED THE CUSTOMER TO BE HAPPY AND NOT DISRESPECTED*** Good grief!! read more

Habit Burger & Grill - PSA this pickup time means absolutely nothing! They can have it ready whenever they want! Do not trust this time! So disorganized!!! - Burgers Near Me - San Jose, California

Good food, straight forward service, could be better. Clean restaurant. No more desserts at this location. The staff pushes you to order at the kiosk and they mention up charge on ranch but the kiosk doesn't have a button to add more than one sauce per order. Please fix that. Cuz if you ask for more they get mad instantly. I didn't get out the sauce even after paying on the kiosk read more

Started a new habit... when traveling to California, look for The Habit Burger. It's definitely a refreshing change from In-N-Out! I love the variety of menu items and cleanliness. I would definitely eat here over Whataburger any day. Not sure if I would say it's better than In-N-Out, Shake Shack, or Five Guys. I will say it was less greasy than all four of the above. Definitely check it out! read more

Habit Burger & Grill - Charburger // Mayonnaise, pickle, fresh tomato, lettuce and caramelized onions on a toasted bun - Burgers Near Me - San Jose, California

Update #4: walked outside... WOW, like 10deg warmer! According to my car, it's about 70deg outside. I'm figuring they had it down to 60deg inside. That kinda makes this literally a refrigerator, as my wine cellar temp is set to about 60deg. Update #3: went up to refill drink. They took away the 2 teas. About 50min away from close. Update #2: food's ready. They took away the ketchup though. It's about 55min before they close. Update: 10min later... great now I'm shivering and the headache is still there. 9/18/19 This place is a refrigerator. I'm wearing jeans and a shirt and am getting a headache cause it's so cold. I looked through the whole restaurant and there's not a single seat not next to a vent. I guess at least you won't get heat stroke. I can't eat like this. 1/5 #fastfood #star #sanjose read more

Great lunch today! Food was delicious! The onion rings were perfectly crispy. Good shakes! Clean and pleasant atmosphere.

This place is terrible not good for curbside order,pick up. I am a disabled person have a curbside pick up order when I was there ,after confirming my car and order they said food will bring out ASAP. After waiting for 45 min I call them and they said they already delivered the food but is a total lie cause only 2 spots and I were there all times. Then they ask me to come inside the store but I am handicapped person and don't want to get inside the store cause pandemic,anyway they just want me to go get my food instead of delivery. They so rude to make me waiting for so long and came up lie story. Seems to me they discriminate with handicapped person like me force me to cancel the order and wasting times. Bad Habit burgers. read more
