Everyone is extremely nice! Food is always exceptional, well made and super tasty! Management has to know they are doing amazing!!

Went to see what all the fuss was about as this place recently opened. To be fair, I'm an older guy in my mid 50's, but young at heart. I can see this place being a great alternative "hangout" for high school kids that usually do that at In 'N Out. I ordered a chicken teriyaki burger and order of onion rings. Both were average - and at least for me - not "habit" forming. So in conclusion, good, but not great. You'll more likely find me across the street at Five Guys. read more

With all the hype and high reviews, I had to go to this place instead of in n out. I ordered the mushroom burger and the Santa Barbra burger with sweet potato fries. I like how they have the condiment bar that lets me add jalepenos, banana peppers or peperoncinis. Is it an awesome burger worth about $5? I think not. The sweet potato fries fell short for me. I like my sweet potato fries a bit crispy and they were soggy and full of oil. I don't see the hype on these burgers and my burger craving would be fulfilled by in n out. I'm not sure if I would come back here considering the burgers are a bit overpriced for a fast food joint. Granted this burger is better than most burger fast food places such as McDonald's, Carl's, etc. read more

Got the Santa Barbara burger and that was pretty good. For the price ($5) I definitely think it was worth it. However I thought the onion rings were way over breaded and so salty! I literally peeled some breading off because it was just overwhelming. Also their French fries are mediocre, nothing at all special about them. Overall, if there's a wait, I wouldn't waste my time standing in line. But if you can walk right up to the register then go for it. read more

5 stars for the taste. That's not the problem. The food is soooooo good! I freaking love it and I'll always visit. 1 star for the service which equals 3 stars. I don't know why, but I say no onions every single time and every single time I always have onions. I also like the garden burger made Santa Barbara style and the girls taking the order look at me like I'm an alien when I say that. Get smarter girls up front, seriously... or train them better. It's a few buttons, you just push them. I, too, work in food service so this is something I know to be true. read more

I have been to this Habit Burger Grill location multiple times and I have been greeted and treated the best here by Jessie Mejia. I have recommended to my family and friends, to come to this Habit Burger Grill location when they are in the area due to Jessie. I have always received great service with a smile from her when I have came in and she is working. Patrick J. read more

Great burgers and excellent service. We had 9 people in our party and sat outside on the nice patio to eat. We ordered the portabella char, double char, green beans, fries and onion rings. We also ordered two kids meals. You get very large burgers for your money and the kids meals are very good quality. read more

WHERE's THE BEEF AT HABIT? Visited the Habit today to try their new Santa Barbara style burger. Here's a tip. Don't. Got my burger and found that instead of two beef patties as advertised in photo, they actually use 1 1/4 patty. What?! I complained to the manager and she promised to get me a new burger. When it arrived 15 mins later, there is was again, only 1.25 burger patties. This is false advertising and unworthy of this place. Buyers beware! read more

Average burger, good fries (but not enough in quantity). The price is pretty damn good, though. Otherwise, this would be only two stars. This is worth trying at least once. I'd rather go to Five Guys, which is right across the street, for a burger. read more

I am from Santa Barbara so I have been eating here since high school. The food here is always good. But this place had some bad service. The line is out the door and down the block and I noticed they only had one guy working the register. I noticed that 3 other people were sitting there picking their noses. I had to get out of line and tell them it might be a good idea to open another register. If you go there on a weekend be prepared to wait. read more

Decent burger, nicer environment than most burger places, the burger didn't stand out though. The sourdough bread was good, but took something away from the burger. All in all, probably won't return. Five guys has a much better burger with better options. read more

Came back to give it a go. 6:00 pm. Dinner hour. One cashier, line out the door, no tables. Really????

Ok, now my opinion has changed. This place has grown on me. The burgers are better than I thought. I've had to come here involuntarily but have been satisfied with the end result. And has gotten so bad as to now I crave these burgers. And on top of everything else, all of the employees are really nice to me. They totally redeemed themselves. read more

Seriously I am so baffled and completely over the service here. The girl who hands your food over has the WORST customer service ever. I understand having a bad day, but she gives me the same rude attitude every time I'm here. It amazes me that they employ such a nasty person. I've given this place multiple chances, but after today I am officially done. I'll never give them my business again. Also I will note that as I am typing this, I am eating a gronola bar instead of the $11 salad I just bought because it's so gross. read more

I was so excited to see the habit being built on this side of town! It just opened so I think they still need to work out all the little kinks. We decided to get our food to go because the place was pretty crowded and we knew it would be hard to get a table. Ordered the char burger, bbq bacon char and cobb salad with dressing on the side. The cashier seemed a little inexperienced, like it was his first day. Again, I understand they just opened so it was fine. As he was reading back our order, it went a little something like this. "...and a salad, no dressing" "Did you get the dressing on the side?" "Oh yea don't worry, I usually just tell them" Got our food. Salad had no dressing on the side (what a surprise). Char burger was ok, kinda bland. Boyfriend seemed to enjoy his bbq bacon, maybe I'll try that next time if I go back. Also got fries and sweet potato fries- Very standard, nothing to rave about. However, salad was nasty! Avocado was completely rotten. I was pretty upset, considering I paid nearly $8 for it. Needless to say, I probably won't be back to this location anytime soon, at least until they get the hang of things. read more

Parents surprised me with this food pick. Instead of the usual, "ugh, why?!" this place got "omg, fricken delicious!" We ordered their special at the time, the Santa Barbara Burger. It's a double-double with avocado and sliced bread instead of a bun for a little less than $6 and big enough to share if you don't want to stuff yourself. I never thought another quick burger joint could achieve what In n Out has but man, I think the Habit will give them a run for their money. Yes, it's a little pricier but only by a dollar max, and their burger portions are much bigger. Here's what's different: there's more selection here, more sides, more burgers, more meats, more pickled peppers...basically, there's just MORE. But that's not always a good thing. One thing is for sure, I like In n Out's fries better, but that's just me...I'm perfectly satisfied with substituting their fries with sweet potato fries or onion rings though :) read more

EDITED: they sent me out some coupons to try it again. The bun still wasn't super fresh but I do like their customer service for trying to make things right. Thank you Habit. Meh. It's ok. Good burger but nothing crazy special. Kind of spendy for what it is! The bun is just not good enough though. Kind of disappointing when the bun is falling apart on your burger. read more

I'd go two and a half here because of the service. Service is great and food is done quickly. Very clean location and burgers and salads are done in true Habit fashion. Why two and a half? It's a good meal until you get cold fries and onion rings caked in salt. Impossible to eat! Had to toss the fries and onion rings at the end. Tried to remove as much as possible from the onion rings but just gave up. Took a pic of what was left of the salt crust. Whew! Give me a break people. We should be cutting down on the salt. Maybe the top fell off of the skate but I think it is usually a bit salty at this location. Not sure but all I ate was the burger. I'll go back but will ask for no salt next time and fresh fries and onion rings. That might actually get us some hot sides also. Fool me once. And. The portions of fries and onion rings were the skimpiest of any Habit I've been too. Business has to be good bc it always has customers so that was also lame. Lesson learned! read more

Habit Burger & Grill - Cold salty onion rings after I removed the salt! - Burgers Near Me - Temecula, California

The manager is always right and incredibly rude. I come here all the time and order the same thing. She doesn't know her menu which resulted in a big overcharge. I paid cash and was trying to clear it up so this didn't happen again as we come weekly. I was fine paying more to get the full meal, but she was unreasonable, rude and condescending. Even made a scene. The new burger place next door just got our business! Other patrons were in disbelief. read more

So I've been wanting to try a Habit burger since we moved to Temecula six months ago. Every time we went to Homedepot across the street we could smell the grill going, but never actually made the stop. Finally had a day where me and the hubby were out alone doing errands, and lunch time came around and decided what the heck, we'll try it. Both ordered regular burgers with fries - his with cheese mine without. Burger comes with shredded lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, meat patty, cheese (if added for $0.55) and mayo on a bun. I was pretty disappointed. I'd put this more on the level of Carl's Junior than a restaurant burger joint, and not even close to even In-n-Out. Burger patty seemed previously frozen. Overcooked. Not moist at all. Absolutely no flavor. Which isn't helped by the fact that the bun only had a glob of mayo. Onions were too sweet, and smothered in a handful of shredded lettuce - that again had no flavor. And the tomatoes were not sweet at all. Fries were good. That I'll say. As was the ice tea, which is actually brewed and now the sugary crap from the machine. Nice touch. Not enough though to ever have me waste my money there again. And oh, by the way, they are EXPENSIVE for a fast food burger. And not really that enjoyable. I recommend driving down the road to In-n-Out, or finding another burger place on Temecula Pkwy to satiate your meat cravings. read more

Back to the drawing board. The staff needs to slow the fuck down and get the orders right, and cook it correctly. They rush it here and the quality is compromised. read more

Love the burgers! If you want the char tastes, these will make you come back for more! I highly recommend this place. read more

After reading all the good reviews about their charburgers, I decided to leap into an under-served menu item: Veggie burger. The service is top notch. The ordering process is easy, despite a line going out the front door. Parking isn't an issue since there's plenty of parking spaces in the lot. The veggie burger wasn't dry and overcooked -- a common rookie mistake. All the condiments that went with the burger was perfect and didn't seem out of the place. Best of all, the burger was piping hot off the grill so that is always a plus. I had the burger with the tempura green beans and that was delicious. If you're a glutton, feel free to ask for free ranch sauce to douse over these green bad boys. I would highly recommend the veggie burger for any health-conscious eater. The taste is superb and you won't feel like you're eating cardboard. read more

Love everything here...Chicken Club sandwich, Charburger with Cheese, Onion Rings, the Fries are never soggy and done just right. They have a good selection of drinks and plenty of seating inside and out. The parking situation is horrendous so my suggestion is parking in the home depot parking lot and walking across. Or just come during the off times. Charburger is the best!!! read more

Very fast, tasty good, and great service. One of the employees went from table to table asking how the food was. Cool environment. And perfect lunch spot. read more

Habit Burger & Grill - Mushroom burger combo, really good :) - Burgers Near Me - Temecula, California

This place was very clean and had great service! I enjoyed dining in here the last time I came to this Habit restaurant. You can help yourself with whatever condiments or sauces you want with your food. There's also plenty of seats and tables to eat at and it's awesome overall! Their onion rings and shakes are honestly amazing and it's great for a snack to go or with your meals. Their burgers are amazing anf immaculate. This 'The Habit' makes great business and service and definitely come back again. read more

The food is fine, and I would have given this review 1 star had it not been for the associates. This review would be easier to write if the managers lived up to the expectations they had for their associates and wore a name tag too, but as the workers were the only ones with name tags/accountability, I'll go with descriptions. There were two managers on duty - a woman with short black hair and an accent and another woman with glasses, long, dark curly hair in a bun and a pink ribbon rub-on tattoo behind her ear, and a no name tag. The manager with short hair and an accent was fine and pleasant, but the one with the bun and pink ribbon rub-on tattoo was so rude to us as guests as well as to her associates. Our order came out incorrect (we substituted a spicy sauce for something else that I'm not allergic to and it was missed - no big deal, we just wanted a correction and didnt mind waiting as we both understand mistakes happen. This manager was extremely rude when we asked if it could be corrected. Shortly after when we were ordering something to go, another associate at the cashier stand turned to this woman and let her know she made some kind of mistake with a modification of some sort on the system, and the manager just berated her for the error instead of, you know, relaying the message to the cooks and helping her to fix the minor mistake. We were helped by the two young associates, Kristianne and Daven (I think that was the spelling), who both were welcoming, professional and friendly. It's really sad when the young, entry-level associates are more professional than the manager. Perhaps that's why the managers have decided to remove their name tags, so they don't have to have the same kind of accountability they impose on their (lovely) associates. I don't mind mistakes being made at all, but it disgusted me to see how poorly these associates were treated by a woman who is supposed to be their "leader." They do a better job than she does, while having to deal with customers, while only getting paid minimum wage. So, so sad and unfair. Kristianne, Daven & cooks - keep doing what you're doing! I'm so sorry that your manager treats you so poorly. Please don't let her poor example affect your demeanor or professionalism. As long as you keep up your strong and friendly attitudes, you will far surpass any inadequate manager that you have to deal with in the interim. Thank you for making our short visit enjoyable, despite the poor excuse of a manager you have to deal with. read more

How in the world do you contact this place if they get your order wrong? You can't! They forgot my son's chicken sandwich and there no absolutely no way to get in contact read more

Good chicken club sandwich, however, the onion rings were overcooked & hard as a rock.

Delicious food and great staff here at the Temecula location. I love their food and their service is spot one every time that I come here. I love that when i come here as well, they are always so friendly to my nieces. read more

Don't get me wrong the food is good but I ordered a plane burger with ketchup and cheese and the receipt proves that but I got pickles on my burger wasn't the cashiers fault but the workers in the back just put pickles when it didn't say pickles I'm just glad there was no mayo or else I wouldn't have eaten it but what if I had an allergy. read more

The habit is right! I get a hankering for this place at least once a week. I love, love, love the burgers. Just the regular char burger with cheese is enough to get you hooked. The fries are fries but not the reason to eat there. I am hooked on the burgers so the fries are irrelevant. Good shakes and interesting sides like fried Edamame. The service is great with a friendly staff and timely food service. Try and eat there off peak hours because they get busy. Since it is not like traditional fast food it takes a little longer to get your order, so be patient it's worth the wait. If you are not satisfied at the end of the meal and you feel you need a little more of an insulin spike then try the ice cream. They will add things like Strawberry's and chocolate syrup. So go and enjoy and say goodbye to normal life you will never be the same again. After all the place is called the habit! Sincerely, An addict! read more

I used to like this place but the last time I went, my burger was totally raw and they forgot most of the toppings. Ordered and payed for two salads but they only gave me one.
