I come to this Habit location the most and it's a solid spot to stop for a burger and sides. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location is not far from the freeway which makes it convenient. They have a big parking lot (but it does get crowded and busy). I've learned to come off hours and it's always perfect for me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This location primarily has the screens that you order from on your own. However, for less savvy customers they will sometimes have one register open for those who want to place their order the old fashion way, with a live person. I used the screen today and it was super easy. Honestly faster than waiting in line to order with a staff member. Prices are reasonable in my opinion for the quality. I got a soda, burger and side for under $20. My food was made fresh to order and the food always hits - so for a chain I'm happy eating here every so often. Today I went for their special (because of the lent season) and ordered their Baja crispy fish sandwich. It was solid and a fun change from a burger. The fish batter was super crispy, which is a must! I also liked the slaw, chipotle sauce, and pickled onions. Only a slight bit of heat so pretty mild overall. Every time I come here, I have to order their tempura green beans, they are my favorite side and their ranch is really good here. Only bummer (I won't dock them a star) but on my visit today it looks like they got rid of their specialty Agua Fresca/juice station. I'm not a soda girl and sometimes I want variety outside of iced tea so I was bummed that they didn't have those good fruit drinks anymore... Oh well, just wanted to make a note of it. Maybe one day they'll bring it back. This habit is a solid location and the food is good. Even though it's a chain it's done well and I will definitely be coming back. read more

Stopped by for dinner recently and saw they had Patty Melts on the menu. They are one of my favorite sandwiches so I decided to try the Habit's version. So glad I did, because it was truly delicious! Truly large, too: the sandwich features two charburger patties. What makes the sandwich so great, though, is the Rye Bread that cradles those two melted cheese and grilled onion covered patties. The bread a place uses can make or break a patty melt. And the bread they use here, makes it! Makes it good. Generally, when I visit the Habit I almost never order a Double Charburger. I prefer a single patty. I have a very single-patty mindset. So, I didn't actually realize the Patty Melt I ordered was going to be a double. True, it is well described on the menu, but I hate reading menus standing up. Consequently, sometimes I miss important details, like number of patties. When I picked it up I thought, oh there's no way I'm going to finish that huge sandwich. It only took one bite to realize how misguided that thought was. It was one of the best patty melts I've had in years. I had no trouble finishing it off. I was glad it was a double. I savored every bite! When I was leaving I told the girl at the register how much I loved the patty melt. She said, glad you like it. You have until January 6 to come back and get yourself another one. Mikey C says: If you love a good Patty Melt, give the one at The Habit a try! read more

I can pick this place apart if I wanted to only because [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restroom is smelly and it permeates to the seating[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], but must be honest with each other here it's fast food and you're not sitting in a five star restaurant. However, the food was excellent. The $10 meal deal was absolutely a great deal and it was delicious. read more

Today 11/15 is Habit's anniversary, and they did 'Good Habits' Day to give back to Kids Hunger charity. Free Double char was given if customers also donated $1 to the charity. What a great company to organize such giving! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was there on a super rainy day before 5pm and it was still crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The young man working the cash line was super courteous and efficient, kudos to him for handling the steady stream of customers. I am generally impressed with Habit's food quality for price. and now I'm more impressed with their Good Habits Day. read more

Tino, you did it again!! I came back to the habit on Thompson blvd in Ventura after 2 months and encountered Tino again. He was busy as usual but doing his job with a smile on his face. He took my order right away and his team was serving everyone fast as it was really busy that day. He remembered me from 2 months ago and he was a pleasure to talk to. Keep up the great work Tino. Rest assured I'll tell everybody I know about you and your establishment. Muchas gracias again. read more

Had food delivered and it was excellent. Being older with health issues. It's wonderful having really enjoyed so much and it's wonderful having things delivered that we enjoy. I had you delivered again today, cold and old. Very disappointed on the other terms that we ordered I won't be coming back for a while if ever. read more

Absolute WORST salad ever.... The dressing they they charge $1 for was horrible and runny very thin. I asked for no tomatoes and not onion but what I got was basically lettuce, a crumbled up Slice of cheese, the bacon wasn't even chopped up so a slice of bacon I chopped up and chicken. They forgot the egg. This salad used to be bomb. It was totally different. The salad had blue cheese crumbs instead of a slice of cheddar cheese. I would have preferred a store bought prepackaged salad to this crap any day. Oh I did get the bland guacamole but . The Habit changed and I don't like it read more

Habit Burger & Grill - Red plastic found in double charburger. - Burgers Near Me - Ventura, California

The burger joint has been here for a bit and generally is good. Hit or miss on consistency and cleanliness of the store...but that's generally secondary to them being so busy with limited space. They are indeed fast. And 80/20 on friendliness. Never encounter a rude employee, but you do have to beg sometimes to get attention. Like I was saying food is pretty good, but sometimes will be delivered the cold, stall fries. But that's like 20% of time. Love that they over a variety of peppers too! read more

We've been coming here for years to get a quick veggie burger. However, we learned today that they are no longer ordering Beyond burgers and only have their low quality veggie burger. This is a big bummer. The staff are great food is generally reliable, but for this vegetarian, no beyond burger is a dealbreaker. sadly, I will have to continue to look to other restaurants for quality veggie burgers Management, if you're reading this, please consider bringing back the beyond burger! I would gladly exchange my three star for a five star and begin recommending the Habit to my vegetarian and vegan friends again. read more

DO NOT ORDER THROUGH THE APP. This is the SECOND TIME I have been shorted items from our order. This time it was the milk and ranch dressing for two finicky grandchildren. When I order from the app, it is generally for good reason. This time, we had our hands full with all of the grandkids over. There is NO WAY TO CONTACT THE STORE short of driving to the store itself. The APP IS OF NO HELP. The phone number leads to a call center, who can't help and can't transfer to the store. By the time I ran to our grocery store (which is closer to us than the Habit is) and getting the milk and dressing, all of our food was cold and barely edible. It is a shame they can't figure out how to ensure a delivery order is complete. Please DO NOT ORDER THROUGH THE APP. Better yet, try a restaurant that can actually fill the order correctly. read more

I made my order for the wrong location and when I came in to get it, it was nowhere to be found. Lorena, sal and marco were beyond accommodating. They made my order right away. Customer service was the best I have ever had at a habit grill. I was beyond pleased. It was the perfect team. The food came out great and their energy was on point. I will definitely be coming back to this location. Thank you guys! read more

I've been a customer since the 1970's Goleta Habit . I love the food and when they opened in Ventura , I was stoked! Not so after today . My wife had called in an order to go and when I went in to pick it up they had somehow lost the order , normally not a huge deal just inconvenient. However , I have never been treated so poorly by a counter person as I was today . Never going back ! She was rude , insulting and made me feel like it was my fault!! read more

That wonderful aroma of grilled burgers that emanates from the Habit reminded me that they also serve grilled cheese sandwiches, which I have been craving, so I followed my nose inside. I also remembered that they serve good fresh brewed iced tea. There are several vegetarian choices on the menu, as well as a fish burger, but when my heart was set on grilled cheese, I refuse to be distracted. I had a bit of a wait because it is always busy, but I enjoyed one of their outdoor tables until my buzzer went off. This location is tucked away in a corner, so it is easy to forget it is here near Winco, and the ambiance is okay, but my sandwich was perfectly toasted with nicely melted cheese. read more

What happened to this restaurant. Ordered in person to take home. Two char burgers with cheese were dry and rubbery, probably re-heated and my teriyaki burger was fresh but sans the pineapple. Paid for it and got zilch. Have not been here in a while but has always been good. Terrible. Other reviews look like it is hit and miss. Strike one. read more

Lorena went above and beyond for me today! Exceptional service, food is great as always. Thanks again Lorena!

From just a 7min drive home my burger was nasty wet...weather it was denched in teriyaki sauce or something else. I ended up throwing it away because the entire bottom bun was soaked to the point where my fingers were going thru the bread to the next layer of the burger read more

I had the Santa Fe Salad today. Very little lettuce and not very appetizing. Salad was messy like it was dumped in the much smaller container than there used to be. Their salads used to be so good. Not worth the price. i won't ever be getting one again. read more

Don't want complain but what happened? This was one of my fave burger joints. The quality is just not there anymore! Service was ok. Place is ok and busy as always.

One star for scamming customers. The FIRST time, the manager felt terrible and comped a milkshake after we were erroneously charged a $5 tip. It happened a SECOND time, and the usual gal at the counter was like - if you didn't pick an option it automatically selects the highest % tip!! You wave the chip over the reader and it automatically adds a tip. It was $15.22, and they charged $18.22 or 20% and could not reverse the charge. That's outright intentional deception, no fault to employees. This is on the owners/upper management. Fix your software now!! I'm sure the BBB would love to hear about this... Absolutely no complaints about the food, service is hit or miss but for the most part friendly service. But super hard to support an establishment that is knowingly deceiving its customers. read more

I left a review before saying how I've always received a complimentary ranch with my regular order and how the employee wanted to argue with me. I didn't care if I got one but to tell me 'I never get a complimentary with my order' upset me bc I always do. More than that was her unwillingness to simply communicate but give me horrible attitude over a question. Well today I went in and order my regular and another combo for my mom, and was given 4 complimentary ranches. We didn't ask for them nor pay for them but there they were. All I want is consistency to meet expectations. I will say that two combo meals at $12.98 plus a $6.99 off coupon does NOT come out to $26.44. I tried to talk to 'big boy' and he couldn't explain. Employees stood around and waited for me to react and after the first bad experience (and my elderly-evacuated from her home-mom with me) I said forget it and left. SOOO although I received more ranch than we can use this time, I somehow still got ripped off. I'm over The Habit on Telegraph. They clearly need new management and attitudes. read more

The Habit has always been great.. until tonight. I headed in to pick up a to go order as my phone notification was going off. When I asked to exchange the ranch for honey mustard (without touching anything), the guy angrily threw it several feet into what I guess was a trash. I was shocked and quietly left..( In the car, I noticed that the French fries were cold. They are usually so so good! I was further disappointed when I got home and viewed my chicken sandwich. I should call it a cibatta sandwich. Big dry piece of bread with a tiny sliver of chicken and hardly a scrap of lettuce. What happened, Habit? After reading recent reviews, I guess it's not just me. So sad! read more

We have been eating at this particular habit for quite a long time. The food is typically good. The salads are very good but lately they're trying to nickel and dime you for every little expense. Especially trying to charge you for extra salad dressing There was a corporate person sitting in the restaurant last time we were there. When I mentioned it to him, he did not care. Simply said it's a corporate decision and cost will be passed on Too bad we won't be eating there much anymore read more

Came here to try the new cauliflower ( as I was told it was in season), and a pesto chicken sandwich. My chicken sandwich was raw and had blood in it. Keep in mind when you're hungry. Food looks good you take a bite and you assume it's going to be prepared right. I'm not the one to blast establishments, but definitely wont be back. The lady was dismissive of my concern. And looked into my eyes and stated we cook chicken medium rare. I been eating #TheHabit for over 15 years never once had this issue. Moral of the story, horrible customer service. And I probably won't choose to eat this location. With so many selections the habit will loose tons of business. I end it up getting something different as I was scared to get sick! read more

Okay so it looks like The Habit won't be a business I'll be supporting anymore. They've gone "High Tech" which I don't mind, but what I do mind is how unfortunately BAD their new digital menu is. I walked in to get just their simple Charburger combo and all I wanted to do is replace the French fries with the green beans. Can you do that? No. No, you can't. I asked the woman working there HOW can I order just the #1 - Charburger with Cheese and a side of the green beans. She said "You can't." So, in the past I ordered it that way but these days, with the new digital menu you cannot. That is absolutely ridiculous! I just said: "Well, then, I guess I won't be ordering my lunch here." And walked out. I'm all for high tech SMART businesses but whoever programmed this place's digital menu didn't know the meaning of Smart Tech, this menu was STUPID. Nobody wants to waste their time trying to figure out how to place an order with a digital menu that doesn't come with options such as replacing fries with something different like sweet potato fries or green beans. It's not intuitive and if you can't bundle it in a meal like you can when ordering from a live person then you'll loose customers. P.S. if it's still possible to order the way I've always done the woman who works there didn't tell me that. She just said "You can't." when asked how to order what I wanted. Really upsetting since I drove all that way - out of my way for something I couldn't even get all because of a dumb digital menu and a woman who is clueless about good customer service. read more

Habit Burger & Grill - Outside the Habit in Ventura - Burgers Near Me - Ventura, California

I hadn't been to a Habit in months. I usually go there when I'm on the road. A lot had changed since my previous visit. There's fewer workers and more technology, but the prices were a lot higher. They had several new items, and I tried the fried chicken sandwich. Frankly, it was mediocre: the chicken breast was overcooked and dry; the slaw was runny. There are several fried chicken sandwiches in the fast food that are better and less costly. My wife liked the mango​ grilled chicken, so I gave a higher rating than I would have otherwise. read more

Food is always great and staff are extremely friendly! Onion rings are delicious and I highly recommend!

The girl cashier was ether having a bad day or she just dosent like helping her guests. The food was delicious as always.

The Santa Barbara Cobb is by far the best Cobb salad anywhere in Ventura County, and I've tried a lot of them. The ingredients are generous. The bacon is crisp and the Chicken is perfectly grilled. They add hard-boiled eggs and a generous portion of avocado along with lots of chicken, and the dressing is great. While they raised the price they have maintained the quality and the quantity of all the ingredients where I found other restaurants happy to increase the price and reduce the quantity by 25 to 50%. They are also very quick on the takeout order using their app. Way to go Habit --keep up the good work!' read more
