Had the $10 deal and liked it - drink variety, self order kiosk, and everything was hot and fresh. Tempura green beans a nice change once in a while from french fries. Drink variety also includes various non soda options. Those are two little pluses I think that keeps me coming back. Habit forming? Maybe!? Burger was a star and it should be. Very hot and fresh. The self order kiosk I tend to like at restaurants. It might take jobs away from people but it allows almost instantly to get your order in. No standing in line and when it is ready a text message pops up. Overall a very good experience. It is quiet and pleasant and in this location the bathroom is down the hall and around the corner. That is a good lay out. read more

Habit Burger & Grill - Salad Near Me - Union City, California

Well first of all I thought I got a free birthday burger. It was on the app. Then got deleted. When I ordered for everyone else. Onion rings were hidden on the bottom of the bag because it was burnt and way less the fries. When I asked about my burger I got ignored. Debating to order a burger for me....WHY? LOL I deleted the habit app at the restaurant now knowing not to order habit again. I used to like spot. Now this place is like a fast food restaurant. I was going to give a two star to be nice but I'm not coming back. read more

Was in the area and decided to come grab the Santa Barbara $10 meal along with some onion rings. Their food was lacking at this location, my burger was lukewarm and the bread was hard like a crouton. Their tables needed to be wiped down as they were dirty, so I grabbed a few napkins and did it myself. However, they do have good onions rings, chicken nuggets. read more

Consistently good burgers. Their tempura green beans and tempura avocado have been really yummy (though greasy obviously). The grilled cheese, which I always get my kid, is really good -- I like the buttery bread they use. Their shakes are delicious and big. I'll keep coming back. read more

My wife has been married to me for 19 years now (I'm surprised that she's still sane, but I did find a voodoo doll with needles sticking out of it recently). We had lunch here on Tuesday to celebrate. This is my first review this year. I was so rusty that my wife had to take the pics (I realized when we got here that my camera battery was dead). I'm going to round up. I would give 3.5 stars if I could. The hours are great: Sun-Thur 10:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m.; Fri and Sat 10:30 a.m.-10:30 p.m. The atmosphere is chill, and this location is nice and clean. It replaced Fuddruckers over 4 years ago. Our cashier was quick and friendly. All the staff members seemed to be Latina, and they worked well together. I enjoyed the music that was played. It was odd that two Tom Petty songs were played within minutes of each other ("American Girl"; "Free Fallin'"), but I'm not complaining. My wife enjoyed her Black Tea. I helped myself to three types of drinks (ex: Mountain Dew; Dr. Pepper). Lol. Our order was correct (for example, I didn't want any veggies on my burger), and we only had to wait about 5 minutes. The condiment section is impressive (napkins; straws; ketchup; hot peppers; jalapeños; sugar packets; salt and pepper packets). The restrooms are on the right and around the corner. They're small, but modern. It was loud inside the men's restroom due to the air conditioning, and they were out of paper towels. A woman with a water bottle suddenly came in and helped herself to a drink. She gestured to the staff when she headed out, and she may have been an employee who was off work. Note: All prices include tax. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/habit-burger-and-grill-union-city?select=cHv6lf017gFPB0cDJzqpow Our meal was $52.54. I was annoyed that the prices online were off in terms of the combos. (Because she wanted Sweet Potato Fries, my wife's combo was $19.90.) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/habit-burger-and-grill-union-city?select=c0Q1UsWD50nMFejHe9tY0w BBQ Bacon Char With Cheese: 8/10. The sauce might be Sweet Baby Ray's. My wife was pleased with her burger. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/habit-burger-and-grill-union-city?select=2nMwj_74IfVCTy5VZEl2ng 5 PCS Crispy Chicken Bites: 7.5/10. My wife was more of a fan than I was. The bites were even smaller than I expected, and two pieces were too hard to eat. Taste wise, they were pretty good, but nothing special, and $6.63 is too much for what you get. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/habit-burger-and-grill-union-city?select=-wTup3psw2d2fBh_7NKWPw French Fries: 8/10. They were tasty (I added some salt, but didn't need to), and I was given a good amount. Sweet Potato Fries: 7/10. They were kind of bland, and our fries were lukewarm. I should have complained because The Habit regularly gives us lukewarm fries. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/habit-burger-and-grill-union-city?select=w0TJsV9hmOiuY0sEHarO6w Onion Rings and Double Char With Cheese (the charge for adding bacon is $2.22): 9/10; 8.5/10. Our onion rings were crunchy, but not overly so. They were also delicious. I even ate one that my wife briefly dropped on the table. My burger was scrumptious, but kind of small. The lack of veggies was only partly behind it. I had to search closely for the second patty. My bacon was good and not too fatty. The seating capacity is about 60, and there's a waiting area that seats 4. In general, there should be plenty of parking. I can't give it a glowing recommendation, but I like this location overall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWxy04kgAYk&list=RDyWxy04kgAYk&start_radio=1 read more

I'd been out of the country for awhile and was looking forward to a good ol juicy burger! I remembered seeing this place before, so a friend and I headed over to eat and catch up a bit. The minute we walked in, we were slapped in the face with a bad soured milk and old cabbage smell. The staff had to notice or maybe they were used to it. We ordered our food from the kiosk. Disappointed doesn't say enough about the thinnest miniature size patty that was tucked underneath a stack of lettuce and the bun. ARGHHH.... : / So anyway, three bites later we left to get appetizers next door. read more

It's been a few years since I last reviewed this location, and I'm happy to report that it's still very clean with a calm, quiet ambiance. I didn't get much of a chance to interact with the staff this time since we ordered at a kiosk and my husband picked up the food--but even so, service was impressively fast for a sit-down spot. This time, I ordered the Santa Barbara Cobb Salad. Unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing. The lettuce was slightly wilted, and the salad lacked the variety of ingredients I expected. It was mostly lettuce, chicken, and bacon. I only saw about three small tomato pieces and a couple of blue cheese crumbles. There was some egg, but not much of it. The flavor was still good, and maybe I ordered a little late in the day--but for the price, I expected a bit more. I also tried the Tempura Avocado. Honestly, I didn't love it--but that's probably just personal preference. I don't think it's The Habit's fault; I just don't enjoy avocado as much as others seem to. Overall, we still enjoy coming here for the peaceful atmosphere and generally satisfying food. read more

We came to try out their new chicken club and it was delicious! It was loaded with fresh tomatoes and lettuce however the price point seemed really high for the amount of food you get. If it weren't for a deal, I don't think I would have ventured to try this item. I also ordered a serving of onion rings which were super crispy and stayed crispy throughout the afternoon. The portion size was fair for the price point. They also have some interesting drinks like strawberry limeade, hibiscus water, and teas. We didn't partake in any beverages this time around but on a hot day, they do look refreshing! We chose to take out but the restaurant is really nice inside. There were plenty of tables and chairs the place looked relatively well kept. Before you sit down or take off, make a visit to their sauce and toppings bar to grab some ketchup, jalapeños, chili peppers, limes, or pepperoncinis. They're on the house and can add a kick to your meal! Overall, I'd prefer to stick to their burgers but regardless, every visit has been an enjoyable experience so far. Their service is better than most and the quality of food is great. The prices can be shocking but if you catch a deal through their mobile app, it can be worth the visit! read more

This just happened. We called in a phone order and a live person picked up, took the order and asked for a debit/credit card number. Said the order would be ready for pick up at 9:30..the closing time. Get there and they tell me that they don't have the order and never took it. Okay, I checked the number twice before calling, just to make sure. I know for certain that I called them and someone asked for the card number, but they said there'sno recordof the order or the call.. Very suspicious. read more

Habit Burger & Grill - Salad Near Me - Union City, California

This is a solid Habit spot, I've been to many and this one is about as consistent as you can find. They have self-order tablets at the front that are easy to use. Food is up to their standard in terms of burger quality, preparation, etc. I even have ordered the new chicken bites and those were solid. Service has been quick and easy. Inside is usually clean and well kept. My one gripe with all Habit locations is that they skimp heavily on their french fries... You should never have to worry about the quantity of fries!! The only thing about location is it's just in a weird parking lot that sometimes requires you to park far away. read more

We had a great experience here stopping for takeout dinner tonight! The Manager was super nice, the food was ready quicker than expected and the restaurant was clean.

Located at the landing. Old fuddruckers location. Corner across from movie theater. Burgers, salads, sandwiches with a variety of sides. Green bean tempura, sweet potatoes fries, onion rings. Food was good. 3 people with kids meals $32. Order from kiosk and get a text and they call your name. Self serve drinks. Took about 10 minutes for food. read more

I don't get why people are hella upset at a chain restaurant. I mean there are some shortcomings but you understand that service workers require respect also. Anyway I usually come here because it's consistent. Just like the burgers from the palm tree restaurants or the Golden Arches. The inside is always hella clean and the kiosks are always easy to use. I like the pepper bar, because I like to blow up the bathroom room when I get home. Lmao. Pricing is a little high, but the quality is pretty good. Free refills and unlimited peppers. Good place! read more

Super solid burger spot. The charburger of course is my go-to. There's nothing to say besides that it's just a good burger. Their fries are tasty too. The Original Charburger meal I got costed about $12 (comes with fries and a drink). Kind of expensive for fast food but still doable. Makes me very full each time too. Service is nice and I definitely have no complaints. Parking is pretty convenient too since there's a really large parking lot in the area. Overall, Habit still doesn't beat In N Out but I think it's still a good option. read more

Habit Burger & Grill - #1 The Original Charburger - Salad Near Me - Union City, California

This will not be a long review. I was optimistic when The Habit recently opened in this location. Until yesterday that is. I ordered my usual chicken club with onion rings. I got my order to go. Thank goodness because if I had it delivered. I'm sure I would have been more upset. Not only was the quality subpar. The way they put my meal together it appeared as if they just slopped in the container and put a lid on it. The bread was supposed to be toasted, but it was mushy. The chicken didn't taste fresh. But the turning point for me was the avocado spread was old, so old I had to pick out the brown areas. Did I mention the bread had a hole in it that you could put your thumb through? The onion rings were not the same. They were thin and dry. The Castro Valley location is much better. read more

Habit opened in part of the space that was Fuddruckers. sadly, each time i try a different item at any Habit, i find no "there", not habit forming at all, no desire to return... offerings: various kinds of burgers, specialty burgers, snacks, fries. eats: veggie burger (6.49) -a bean tasting patty surrounded with tasteless sauce, cucumber, red onions, tomato, lettuce. not tasty nor yummy. tasted fresh. take outs: -kiosk ordering was quick but didn't display what i wanted to order. should have ordered at counter. would have seen the entire menu in front of me. -got a text when order was ready. i like getting a buzzer better since i usually ignore texts.. -the ordering routine takes getting used to. will forget all about it before i return. *lots of parking available. seating looks plentiful. just a small space in front of ordering counter for waiting. read more

So, I've been to a few Habit's already. This is one of their newer ones, probably less than a year old, which took over the old Fuddrucker's spot. Been in twice lately as I often shop in the area. Tried all new things for me, as in the past, I basically just stuck to their basic burger and fries. Here are some notes. Portobella Char ($8ish/3*) This sounded great in print for me. Sauteed portobella mushrooms and onions with a garlic aioli. But in reality, a bit too rich/oily for me. You see the mushrooms and onions are oily, burger...greasy by default (not hating cuz I crave it from time to time), and the aioli also made mostly of oil. JUST too much for me, and I've had similiar combos before from sit-down joints where it translated better. Not repeat worthy for me. Santa Barbara Char ($8ish/4.5*) For the fast food level, this is pretty damn solid. First the burger patty is actually seasoned and tasty. The bread is toasty and buttery sliced sourdough. Not a ton of sourdough flavor but the texture is nice. Then REAL avocado, not some fast food mashed stuff from a factory 500 miles away. Well coulda been but at least it tasted pretty natural, so props on their choice. For under $10, you'd be hard pressed in finding something like this, in this class of service. Crispy Chicken Bites ($5ish for a 5 piece portion/3*) First the good, it is pretty much all white meat and quite a meaty bite. Exterior is like any other processed nugget, but this had a more pronounced garlic powder flavor. Not great, but definitely not bad. Tempura Fried Green Beans ($4ish/3*) Again sounded great on paper and what fast food place would even try to rock these?! I suppose I liked the first bite or so, but after that, it just got tiresome. Maybe cuz it arrived not so hot to begin with, and just got cold within the 3rd fry. Actually I do have point out that temperature was an issue for me here. I ate inside both times and received a buzzer for my wait. You'd think that they were making it to order, but everytime I got my food, it was barely warm and quite cold within a few minutes. May be nit-picky for a fast food joint, but it overall affected both my experiences. Sweet Potato Fries ($4ish/3.5*) Pretty good sweet potato flavor and somewhat crisp exterior. But again after my 3rd fry, cold as heck. I still ate all of these, cuz I like these enough. Service usually okay, if not all business, little smiles. They do have a unique self serve pepper bar that has pepperocini, jalapenos and some yellow wax pepper. Again, what fast food place will offer that in that format?! So mixed bag for me, I'm sure I'll still return at some point, but let's just say there ain't no habit being formed here at the moment. read more

The Habit Burger Grill takes over a portion of the late Fuddruckers Restaurant. Today, this location was giving free char burgers, fries, and a drink of choice to the first 200 people in attendance. When I arrived befor the 5pm (4:30pm) start time, there were no more than seven people in front of me. I did stand in line, patiently waiting for the burger promo. Once the clock hit 5pm, a staff member greeted the people in line and distributed a voucher for the free meal. For this event was nicely staffed and service was excellent! As for the meal, it was very good! The beef patty was nicely charred, combined with shredded lettuce, pickles, slice of cheddar cheese, mayo, all in between toasted sesame seed bun. The fries were a golden brown and crispy. For my drink, I got there fresh made tropical tea. That was very refreshing on this hot day. I'm glad that there's a location within walking distance from where I reside. I'll be back for sure for their tasty tri tip sandwiches! read more

The Habit Burger Grill takes over half the space formerly occupied by Fuddruckers in Union Landing in Union City. I was surprised to learn that this place opened up. I had to check it out. There was plenty of seating. You could order at a kiosk or at the counter. I chose the latter. I placed my order and took a seat. It was busy, so I spent some time exploring the interior. People came in and out in relatively quick succession. I soon got my food to go. The food was great. I will return. read more

7/23/21 Dinner I was craving a burger and remembered there is now a Habit Burger at Union Landing! We ordered the Terriyaki Char, the Santa Barbara Char and the BBQ Bacon Char, onion rings and an oreo milkshake.

You need lots of napkins when the burgers are messy but delicious. read more

I don' know why I really like there steak sandwich here. The BBQ steak sandwich is my go to order here. It's funny as It's not something I order alot but the Habit does it right just wish they were a big bigger in size. I always finish up and I would like a bit more food. It's tends to be always the same it's good it taste great and I have always got fresh bread with it so far. They are doing good for a bit better then a fast food stop I would return keep up the good work. read more

Just came for a snack before a movie. I had the tempura green beans and it was a Monday evening so it wasn't busy. The staff was friendly and the item served was exactly as I remembered it. This location has quite a bit of seating and shares the parking with Union Landing, which is sort of a maze. Though it was a different location, sometimes they do fundraisers to give back to the community. Happy to participate in those! Review #93 of 100 in 2023. read more
