No photos this time around but this is one of our go-to burger places when we want a good, juicy and messy burger. Never disappointed and this store in Tempe is staffed with some friendly people. We typically go for the double char with grilled onions and extra, extra pickles along with an order of fries and onion rings. As usual, everything was cooked to perfection and just delicious. Short review this time around but suffice to say that you can expect good food and friendly service, at least at this location! read more

I liked observing the team interaction at this location. Three women in the kitchen, all communicating well and respectful of each other's space. A personable store manager working the register with a big smile on his face as he greeted guests. I love that they offer several teas and lemonades in addition to sodas from the fountain. The cucumber limeade is so refreshing! I've had burgers a couple of times, great flavor and toppings, but my go-to is the salads with chicken and those fantastic tempura green beans. read more

All you Cali haters just don't come here. Period! Don't want to hear you whining like you do about In n Out . Now that that's out of the way. Love this place because it reminds me of Padaro Beach Grill just north of Carpintería, CA. Great service. A personality with nice art on the walls and an actual vibe with a great music selection . Great food. Their teriyaki burger is delicious. Green beans are amazing with a light tempura batter. Strawberry shake was tops! read more

Habit Burger and Grill have a few locations around the Phoenix metropolitan. The location I occasionally visit is in Tempe on Guadalupe and McClintock as it's near my work. This location has been consistently good since I first tried it 10 years ago. The counter employees are always friendly and helpful when inquiring about menu items. The interior is well-lit and has always been clean. The wait times for your food is typically 10min unless there's a big crowd and then it may be up to 15min. The main drawback is there's limited indoor seating and no good seating option inside for a party larger than 4. There's a about a half-dozen tables for 1 or 2 and a half-dozen tables for 4. The menu consists of burgers, chicken, salads and sides. The chicken club is currently my favorite menu option- it includes bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, mayo (that I keep off!) on grilled sourdough. Their burgers are also good but *warning* if you don't like onion you'll want to ask them to cook it separate as the grilled onions are cooked right next to the patties and everything tastes of onion. Their fries and sides are just ok. They do have tempura green beans and sweet potato fries if you want a break from regular fries and rings. This location has a Pepsi fountain. As I'm not fond of most Pepsi products, I typically get one of their drinks from the dispensers. They typically have two types of tea, lemonade and several limeades (dragonfruit is delicious if you can tolerate a very sweet drink). The prices are competitive with most other fast-casual burger spots, but the food, service and selection is just a little better here. read more

I gave the Habit a second chance this evening as the last time I ordered from there the door dash person stole my food. They picked it up and cancelled the order 15 mins after. I went into the store and they offered me a beverage which is hardly comparable. So I order online pay 2.50 extra for avocado which of course was not on the burger! When I arrived to pick up there was a sign on the door saying sorry out of fries so I'm glad I didn't order any. I wanted some peppers from the pepper station but of course there was no containers to put them in. I tried to call to speak with a manager but they want you to come back into the store and at this point I'm halfway done with this burger and was not leaving the house again. Two terrible experiences, which is a shame bc I really enjoyed their burgers, in the past. Won't make that mistake a third time. I of course reached out to the Habit corporate when my food was stolen by the door dash driver and nobody ever contacted me about it so it shows how much they care. They don't. Do better The Habit. I will be telling everyone how awful your customer service is. Good food, IF they get it right and they have the stock. Or is it actually arrives. If you were out of avocado, take it out of the online menu. Such a shame. read more

This is such a crazy deal for $10. Half a charburger, tempura green beans, chicken bites and a drink and it's all quality! The tempura bites are my absolute favorite, can't recommend enough. read more

Habit Burger & Grill - Charburger w/ Tempura Green Beans and 5 pcs Crispy Chicken Bites - Burgers Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I come here from time to time when I want to get a burger that's better than regular fast food but not as expensive as a restaurant. Today they were celebrating their 54th birthday so they had a great offer! Donate $1 to their charity and spend $5 and get a Double Char Burger for free! It's like buying a drink and a side and the burger is thrown in! I was surprised with how quick they were getting people through given the fact that they were much busier than normal, of course. Plus everyone was very nice and the service was great. There were lots of people sitting in the booths and tables and everyone seemed to be pretty happy, plus the restaurant was still nice and clean even with the extra business. I ordered a total of 5 burgers and some fries with 3 of the burgers being FREE! It was awesome and I appreciated it given our economy and the price of things these days. They even gave me a free drink while I waited which I used for a strawberry limeade 5 STARS for THIS team as they were amazing across the board! read more

It's been awhile since we have stopped at habit burger and now I am wondering if maybe there is a reason why. We received a coupon in the mail and decided hey let's try it again. Let's just say we were highly disappointed. The gentleman who took our order wasn't personable at all and staff were arguing with each other over who had their break yet and who didn't. Customers were waiting 30 minutes for their food, they were running insanely behind. On top of that, the double char burger tasted like chemicals. I had my wife try it without telling her just to see what she would say. We both agreed something was off. The second burger had some gristle in it, which clearly tells me their meat quality isn't the best. Immediately turned me off and I couldn't eat it. We also had the chicken club and onion rings. Those were the only saving grace of the meal. The bread was a little extra toasted, but I will take that over soggy bread any day. The onion rings were also on the well done side but we still liked them. I don't know if this was just an off day but this location needs to get their act together. read more

Whaddit Dew Peeps?! Today I pulled up on Habit Burger & Grill to grab some lunch ~ Once I entered I found there was a line, but I also found a couple of those lil' Kiosk thingys... Score! I jumped on one of those, ordered my meal, got a receipt sent to my phone and took a seat... Whilst I was watin'... it hit me... Normally I don't use those Kiosk thingys and order at the counter (where they give you one of those lil' square buzzy thingys that light up when your food is ready)... I kinda figured that my phone might light up, or buzz me, since it did when I got my receipt, but it did not. After about 15mins, I went up to the counter and found my food all trayed up and ready to go. Not sure how long it had been sitting there..? Not sure if they called for me and I missed it..? But, hey, it was STILL tasty! *I ordered the Char-Burger w/ fries and an ice cold Mountain Dew! Bravo! read more

Habit Burger & Grill - Cobb Santa Barbara Cobb - Burgers Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

This place is disgusting. Terrible. The dirtiest restaurant I had ever been too. Peppers on the ground, dirty tables that weren't cleaned the whole 45 minutes I was there. Rags laying out next to the napkins. The employees were rude and one of the girls, petite black hair was super rude and seemed to be high and hadn't any clue what was going on. The cooks were messing around touching each other. But the worst thing I saw, was one of the employees wearing yes, SWEATPANTS WITH FLIP FLOPS!!!!! SWEATPANTS AND OPEN TOED SHOES making herself a milkshake that I'm sure she didn't pay for. It took the manager like 10 minutes just to figure out how to ring up my simple order. I don't like complaining but I'm seriously never coming back or eating at any Habit location just off this terrible experience alone. I'm so grossed out. Definitely avoid this place like the plague!!!! read more

Atmosphere - When we arrived, there was a lot of people inside both in a line and sitting down waiting for their orders. While there, quite a few more people arrived. There was a good amount of tables and chairs in the restaurant. Some booths available. Temperature inside was good. Not hot or cold. I have been to some places where it's been hot. Patio. It was in the front with a nice little shade screen. I did not visit the restroom. Food - We had the char burger with cheese and fries. The fries were fine. The char burger bun was burned on the inside. I saw a picture from another Yelper just now and mine looked the same. I forgot to take a picture of the inside of the burned bun. I had to throw the bun away it was so bad. We had to wait over an hour for our food and people who ordered after us got their food first. I even checked on the status of our food while waiting after I noticed others getting their food ahead of me. I am a little worried because I saw on Yelp just now that they have a health rating of C. That doesn't sound good. Yelp has a little health rating score on the information section of their website for restaurants. Service - There were at least three employees. One was a cook. The service here was strange. Ordering was okay, but the food came out extremely slowly. After ordering, they give you an electronic coaster that vibrates to let you know when you can pick up your food at the counter. You can get pepperocinis and other condiments around the right hand side where the soda machines are located. We found our own seats and sat down after ordering at the register. I saw a guy who had ordered for take out. He was also waiting a long time for his food. It took so long he bought a drink cup at the register to fill with soda from the soda machine to drink while he waited. Parking - The restaurant was located inside of a shared lot. Was crowded during peak hours. No parking meters or parking structures. A parking structure with solar panels on top or trees would be nice. Otherwise, no shaded spots available. Same as most places. read more

I wanted a burger but decided to switch it up and try a Santa Monica's burger which comes on a sour dough bread instead of a regular bun. It was very filling and I'm glad I only got a single patty instead of a double because I was stuffed off just half of my meal. Everything was fresh and delicious. I'll be sticking with the regular bun next time overall good burger joint. read more

I still love Habit Burger, but after many purchases over the years, I feel like I should write an update, at least for this location. I'm not sure if this applies to the franchise as a whole or just this location because it's the only one we visit Lets start with the good.. The food - still great. Great fast food burgers. and there is a little more variety in the sides than other chains. tempura green beans are good and the ranch used/made by Habit is really good. Customizability - Habit actually has several types of buns/bread and two kinds of vegetarian protein substitutes The bad though.. Taking delivery - We usually order food for carry out. It has become a running joke to see what Habit forgot this time. Is there avocado on the Santa Barbara (which comes standard)? Did they include ranch for the onion rings? Did they forget the gummies in the kids meal? Did they forget to give the drinks and I had to ask for them during pick up? We have made more than one trip back (we live close) to get missing items. The App - The app is nice and easy to use, however there's many customization options that are absent or difficult inside the app. for example, you cannot change the bun type on some sandwiches, but you can on others. Same with substituting a veggie or Impossible patty. This is all easy to do when ordering in-person but is not easy, or often impossible to do through the app. We now avoid using the app if possible and just accept that it's better to just order in person and wait... but.... New in 2024! when you walk in to this location, you find yourself face-to-face with kiosks running the app. The idea here is obviously to get you to order the food yourself instead of interacting with a human, no doubt to reduce the needed staff in the long-run. If you navigate the maze of kiosks you can eventually get to a human to order. Having never worked in fast food, here's my two suggestions for making this location MUCH better.. Firstly, Corporate needs to upgrade the app to include more of the customizations. Spend the money and get the app updated. Secondly, when assembling the orders, the staff needs to pay more attention to make sure they are putting EVERYTHING ordered into the bags. Forgetting sauces, drinks, kids gummies, etc. just ding the experience every time. Fix the consistency issues in the app and in the franchise locations. read more

The restaurant is clean and they offer a kiosk to order your own meal but they also have someone at the register to help you order. We enjoy the minimal interaction needed to eat here. There are times when you just want to order, eat, leave and you can get that here. You are able to customize your burger easily. Our food came out warm, the sourdough bun on my veggie burger was toasty, the charburger, fries and onion rings were crispy- we ordered a second order of onion rings. They offer Pepsi products and hibiscus (jamaica) aguas frescas taste good! read more

I know I don't have too many complaints about their service however there was an issue with my order I was instructed to take care of it on the website as there was no live person to deal with they sent me an email asking if I ever got the order if things were taken care of and what they could do I have since responded back to them five times with auto response or refund of my money the food is great but their customer service as a business give them a zero star read more

Good food, quick service, clean restaurant. Wish we had one closer to our neighborhood, but we were in the area for IKEA.

After 35 mins of waiting my single person order, I was told it would be 15-20 more minutes. My refund won't hit my account for 3-5 days I was. I only came here because Instacart driver stole most of my groceries last night on delivery and Instacart says they have no record of my order. A. This place is the worst B. Man am I hungry right now. Take three, I guess. read more

After 13 years, this location is still serving tasty burgers. It has been a while since I've stopped by for burgers here. In fact it's been years since I don't live in the area. I ordered fries and their char burger: lettuce, pickles, tomato, mayo with grilled onions. No cheese for I wanted to taste the meat without any distractions. :) The beef was grilled to a nice medium, the lettuce was crisp and the fries were tasty. My hubby ordered the vegetarian burger. This sandwich comes with green leaf lettuce and sweet mustard. He said that It was a nice change and he was happy. read more

Always loved Habit for the freshness of its burgers. However, they have changed. The buns were healthier, lettuce, tomato and Cucumber were fresh. Today, was not what I expected. No cucumber, tomato and lettuce were barely there and soggy. Still love the onion rings and Tempura green beans. read more

Yelp sent out their "Top 25 Burger Chains" list last week and Habit Burger was number 2 so I just had to try it. I was especially looking forward to the Portabella Char. My wife and I went in last Saturday night. First, they didn't have the Portabella on the menu. My wife wanted a vegi burger, they didn't have that either. We both opted for the Teriyaki Char with cheese. My wife's showed up with pickles on it in addition to the teriyaki sauce, pineapple and cheese. Totally destroys the taste adding pickles to pineapple and teriyaki. This was an epic fail in my opinion. Well, the home made lemonade was good, so one star. read more

Dining room was filthy trash can was overflowing the customer service was terrible we were having trouble ordering from kiosk so we went to the counter and the girl working there said they were too busy getting orders together that we had to order from kiosk she couldn't help us read more

The service was terrible, it was loud and you can barely hear anything over the music. The workers were rude and incompetent. I didn't receive my food until over half an hour of me waiting there and they didn't message me like they said they were. They didn't call out my order number instead they called out the last four of my cell and when i received my food it was cold and soggy. Never coming here again it's actually so ridiculous. read more

I came here recently and didn't notice the uncooked chicken until it raw too late. I emailed customer support right away and said I had a photo that I felt was uncooked chicken and was worried, I never got a reply unfortunately. It was concerning to see the employees more focused on talking to each other about non work topics than focusing on watching the cook time of the meat. The fries were also extremely greasy but also over cooked. It wasn't a good experience all around. read more

I was pleasantly surprised recently when deciding to stop in for my first-ever try of the Habit Burger Grill for my weekly fast-food joint hit. Very surprised! Their burgers are really char-broiled, and they taste it. Plus, they are not overcooked and tasteless. My first-ever try was the #1 Original Charburger with Fries and a soda. Pretty darn good... it reminds me of years ago offerings at Burger King. The meat tender, actually juicy, properly seasoned and not overcooked! The toppings are fresh and flavorful. This will not be my last visit. They can become a habit! read more

Habit Burger & Grill - Onion Rings (it really came like that) - Burgers Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

So i love "the habit" and used to eat here frequently. Today at checkout, the cashier prompts for "a question" on the payment device. I look, and it's for a tip. I know that tipping culture is real, but i just cannot accept it at a fast food restaurant. So this review is directed at the owners...you control the POS system, and the employee behavior. Stop it. read more

Ordered on their app. Quoted a 9 minute wait. I arrived and after waiting 15 minutes I verified I was at least in the system and they were making my order. Another 16 minutes go by and I tell them I need to cancel. They apologize for being short staffed and asked me to write my info on a receipt, and that they would refund me within 5-7 business days. Several other customers gave up waiting as well and sought refunds. If we had ever received our sandwiches, they would have been accompanied by our cold sides which had been ready and waiting to go for the past 10 minutes. Atrocious. Can't blame the underpaid, understaffed and under trained teenage workforce. Management at this restaurant left them hung out to dry. Never coming back, after having been a customer for 10 years and witnessing their decline. read more

Glad to see I'm not the only one. Came in the 6th of December ordered a Charburger and a chicken sandwich. Lady who took my order handed me my order. What I received was the charburger and a burger with everything that was supposed to be in the chicken sandwich that I didn't receive..I was real hungry so I didn't complain..I thought it was just a one off. Came in today December 16 to see if things have changed. I walk up to the register..there was no hi how are you doing today.. just are you here for online pickup from the same lady from before. This time she looked annoyed that I would dare order from a register not a kiosk. She seemed overwhelmed.What brought me in today was an app promo..To not be a burden to her I asked if I could put the promo on the kiosk which she replied no..I really feel this location is understaffed. I ordered 2 charburgers and was asked if I wanted everything which I said yes..Upon receiving my order she hands me the order and in disbelief they messed up my order again..she tried giving me two burgers that had ketchup mustard and pickles with cheese. I asked her if these were the right burgers she then replied you did order everything. Unless things have changed ..I've never had a stock char come with ketchup mustard. I was so lost. No apologies all she had to say was you can order those if you would like. Huh? They did fix the order. I believe she was the shift manager " Lord help us ". There is a real lack of leadership and training at this location and the lack of morale is very apparent with every team member you interact with there. Unfortunately I will not be back to this location. I would advise others to visit other locations till they fix their own issues there. read more

Thank you for sucking even more than usual. I no longer have to endure pretending I like your food and choking it down anymore. I started going here about a year and a half ago with my boyfriend because he's from AZ/CA and thinks Habit is good because he's been eating it for decades. In the last year, we've had slow, unhappy and incompetent service. Then, they made it even more unwelcoming by adding kiosk ordering. The food is always way over salted. Well, the other day to my delight, you went over the line with my boyfriend by switching from Coke to Pepsi and charging for ranch. He finally realized the food is gross too. Thank you so much for becoming worse than you already were. If anyone wants a good burger at an "upper scale" fast food joint, go to Culver's or Portillo's. Of note: My boyfriend called headquarters several times and left messages and received no response. read more
