I don't usually write reviews, but this place honestly felt like stepping into something special. From the second I walked in, I got that classic 50's diner vibe--like time slowed down a bit. The atmosphere is incredible. The music, the style, the energy... it's nostalgic in the best way, but still feels fresh and real. You can tell a lot of love went into creating that experience. The staff? Amazing. Super friendly, respectful, and genuinely welcoming. Not the fake kind of nice--real people who care. They made me feel like I'd been coming there for years, even though it was my first time. And the owner... that's what really stood out to me. You can feel their presence in everything. Humble, kind, and down-to-earth. The way they treat people--with respect and appreciation--sets the tone for the whole place. It's rare to see someone build something this cool and still stay so grounded. And of course, the food... incredible. Classic burgers done right--juicy, flavorful, and made with care. You can taste the quality and the pride behind it. This isn't just a burger spot--it's an experience. A place with heart, character, and people who genuinely love what they do. I'll definitely be back. read more

I came here after being trapped on the 405 to the 10 and there was a fiery fatal car crash that closed it down for 2 hours. My nephew was a bit bothered by it and decided he wanted a burger before heading home. So I told him, "I have the perfect place for you." We get there and it's totally empty, but I'm thinking maybe because it's a Monday night. We order a bacon cheeseburger and the BBLLTT and an order of fries. When I tell you that all we got was various textures of cardboard. Nephew tried to eat his food to not appear as if he wasn't grateful for me taking him to this "perfect place". I couldn't take a second bit from my blt, his burger was dry, the bacon was thin, flat, burnt, the lettuce and tomato wasn't fresh. Fries came out a plastic bag, no seasoning. It was just all bad. I remember when this was the best burger spot in the city. Seems as if over the years they're cutting corners. The quality is totally lacking. I see why it's empty now. Yall gonna have to either put some care into the ingredients, the food prep, the cooking and the overall taste or let it go. That was $46 I paid for trash. This is most disappointing meal I've had in maybe the last 15-20 years. read more

Seems like a really cool place. Great vibes. But good lord let me tell you I paid such a large price for such a tiny pathetic burger. I got a combo and i was still starving afterwards but now I couldn't justify spending any more money for more food. Very disappointed. read more

Me and my wife always stop by after my work before entering the freeway for a quick snack. They have some parking In the front. Friendly staff clean as always. Food doesn't take more than 10 minutes. Love it, keep up the good work. read more

Love the old school vibe here. My husband says it's the best burger he ever had, so we come a lot. I am happy they have a vegan burger. I just add avocado and it's pretty good. The staff is very friendly definitely recommend this place for a good burger. read more

I came here with my 3 nephews and all they wanted was a grilled cheese with fries and a drink. Come to find out the fries were deep oiled and tasted soggy. The grill cheese was nothing compared to it being worth 17$. This place is a rip off and now I wonder why there losing business. I came here thinking oh let me help them out and give them my money but don't fall for it! They rip off who they can get by! Here is a picture of our meal. 17$ for this meal below! Don't fall for it! read more

Very disappointing experience. The prices are way too high for the quality of food they serve. The burger was dry, bland, and lacked flavor, while the ingredients didn't seem particularly fresh. The portion size was also much smaller than expected for the price. The fries were cold and nothing special. Overall, the food was not worth the money, and I left feeling like I had overpaid for a mediocre meal. I would not recommend this place and will not be coming back. read more

I ordered a double sassy cheese with grilled onions and an large order of french fries cooked extra crispy well done and had it delivered. Everything came as expected. The burger was excellent. Tasty and the fries are done to perfection. Just like I like them. Thank you Frank for running a great business. See you soon. read more

Old school diner type of hamburger stands reminds me of happy days. The food here is excellent chili cheese, fries, good and really hot and they got that good cheese. The cheeseburger was pretty good also. The star of the show was the chili cheese dog. The Casing on the hot dog has that snap to it really good flavor. The chili is good. The cheese is good. The bun is nice and soft and fresh. The restaurant is really clean and the service is really good. I highly recommend you all stop by this restaurant at least once. read more

This place has a way of being meaningful to me because I remember all the commercials I kept seeing for it on the channels I watched as a child. Places like Cartoon Network. Finally met a piece of my childhood. I have to say that it's just okay and maybe even a rip off. Things were expensive and only okay in quality. Servers and atmosphere were also just okay. I swear, Culver City is such an overrated and overpriced place. I grew up here and every time I go back I'm disappointed by the food and frustrated by the traffic infrastructure. Driving sucks there. I don't know why people pay so much money to live here. read more

Talk about a community "gem", in one word it's a FANTASTIC experience! I had been craving a burger and fries again and my husband suggested I try this place. I was not disappointed. The parking lot is a tricky one with limited spots, but because it was around 9p, it was easy to find one. TIP: Be careful of not tripping over the parking medians in front of restaurant! The reason I say this was BECAUSE I misstepped and took flight!!!! I am extremely athletic and well-balanced, but it was dark ... and a big oops occurred. Alfonse, an incredibly kind and generous employee ran out to help me along with a loyal patron ... Alfonse had me sit down and immediately brought me two bags of ice and couldn't have been more solicitous...customer service is not dead in LA, and my experience exemplified it!!! The cheeseburger was great! Reminded me of a New Yawk (not a typo) diner repast. It hit the spot! Luis in the back came out to check on me and then a man came in to see if I was alright since he saw me fall. I LOVE MY COMMUNITY! I am hoping the owner Frank reads this review and is proud of his stellar employees! I will now call this restaurant my favorite local spot and will check out other items on the menu. PS Their french fries are delicious! PPS I AM FINE AND WALKED 5 miles the next day easily... I am so glad ;))) read more

I was a customer at the original Hamburger Habit on Robertson many years ago. The food was so good I followed them to their current location. The food is just as good. This was a go-to place for my kids and I when they were small and the restaurant always went out of their way to help my boys. Which brings us to today. Hamburger Habit is just as good as it has always been and DoorDash brings it it right to my home. Their apple pie, as expensive as it is, has the best apple pie filling I've ever had. read more

I think they cooked their veggie burgers with grilled onions on the same grill with meat!

I got a burger,chilli cheese fries, drink, and apple pie. Everything was good and tasty except the price. The service was great and the place maybe old school but it was very clean. I'll be back when I'm willing to break the bank Support small businesses read more

We stopped in for lunch, my coworker and I. The place is cute and full of kids artwork which I loved. The owner was there and we enjoyed a fun report with him. The actual burger was really good. Fries also. Free parking is a bonus! I enjoyed it and would return. read more

Didn't have cash for the taco stands in the area and Baja buds was no longer open, so I found myself randomly walking in here I was immediately taken back by how cool the interior is. It feels like you're stepping into another time. The prices are OK maybe not the best but it does align with the quality of the food I got the number three as I was told it's the most popular option and it really felt like cooking. It felt like proper ingredients. I could taste the salt in the patty. I could taste the butter in the bun. It was a really quality burger. I wish I would've added a patty instead of adding avocado just because I wanted more protein. I didn't add any fries because the fries only come in one size and they were kind of pricey and I'm honestly not the biggest fan of french fries I previously paid five dollars for a can of Coke today, so it was nice paying only a few dollars for a refillable fountain drink The gentleman working were very kind and the ambience was very calm so I really did enjoy the vibe Not to mention there is a parking lot here. I've never seen it very busy, but it seems like there is a lower and significance to this restaurant. I think I would recommend it for anyone that really loves quality hamburgers They also have hotdog dogs and some sandwich options, but I'm not the biggest fan of bread so I went with the classic Really enjoyed my pickle spear read more

First time coming here and the food is absolutely delicious!!! My boyfriend and I ordered the sassy cheese and chili fries and it was amazing!! Burgers tasted homemade, bun was nicely toasted and the chili fries were my favorite to be honest. My boyfriend got the caramel milkshake and it's the best milkshake he's had. Other spots are too milky or don't have a ton of flavor but the milkshakes here have just the right consistency, I mean absolutely amazing! There's good vibes, staff were very friendly, clean, and I had the honor of meeting the owner Frank who walked us through the menu and was nothing but kind to us. Will definitely be coming back for more, thank you!!! Frank even gave us two lollipops, very sweet and kind, you'd be a fool to not stop here and eat. read more

Was craving chili cheese fries so found this spot not far from home. When walking in it's a nice little burger joint really old school vibe and really awesome workers and good food. I got a burger and chili cheese fries which were good not the best but they hit the spot. What I truly like about this spot is that it is decorated with many colored pictures done by kids and just the people there to enjoy a meal I was fortunate enough to have our colored pictures put on the wall. The employee said that all the you g generations don't like to color anymore since they're so entertained on phones or iPads that they miss out on the fun so he tries to encourage the older generations to continue to have fun. Definitely a great vibe really like the spot. Will go back for some more coloring sessions and food. read more

Let's first start with the positives...the staff were super friendly and welcoming. Also the restaurant is very cute with vintage decor and very clean. The chili cheese fries were pretty good too. Now the bad...just got home, opened up my "Lean and Mean" steak sandwich only to find one small piece of overcooked meat. It was almost less than half the size of the bread (see picture). For the cost, this is unacceptable. My partner also got the "Sassy" cheese burger and it was pretty flat and bland tasting. Basically if you like bread and lettuce sandwiches, this place is for you. Aside from that, keep the expectations low or pay for extra meat. read more

I'll start by saying the burgers are excellent and a nice break from smashburgers. Nice diner vibe. Unfortunately, after ordering a double cheese, fries and a drink I was given a bill for THIRTY FOUR AMERICAN DOLLARS. The fries looked like they were made in some seriously dirty oil. read more

Stopped in for my first time for dinner Friday night because I've driven by this place many times and I've seen the "best burger in LA" claim and I know they've been open since 1968 so I figured I had to give it a try. I would not say it's the best burger in LA, not even close, but it's still really good overall. I really like the ambience inside, it's just like a 50s diner, but this place is more designed for to go meals instead of a sit down restaurant with service. They have a fairly limited menu, but it has all the classics on it. Service is really fast and I will say the pricing is very fair which was probably my favorite part. It's located in a small strip mall with a free parking lot attached out front. It took a bit for me to decide what I wanted to order because there were so many things on the menu that I like. I had to try their fresh squeezed Orange Juice to start and I'm very happy that I chose it because it was delicious as expected. For my meal, I ordered the Sassy Cheese and the Hot One. The sassy cheese is just like a regular cheeseburger, very similar in taste to Burger King. It was good, but I think the patty is a bit too thin. The hot one is a hotdog with chili on top and I thought it was pretty good but the chili was a bit bland. Overall, a good takeout option and worth trying if you are in the area. read more

I went here on a Saturday after my Pilates class for a cheat day. It's located on the corner of Sepulveda and National in a small strip mall. This place reminds you of an old 50's diner. Really cute decor. A definite blast to the past. Instead of ordering a burger I decided to get a pastrami sandwich, and was disappointed to say the least. It was small in size, and dry. The meat seemed over cooked or old and did not taste good. The meat on the sandwich was slim to none as It didn't even cover the bread. The worst pastrami I've ever had. The service on the other hand was excellent. I was greeted from the moment I walked in. I was given direction on how to order as well as recommendations since it was my first time. Everyone was friendly and welcoming . Now I am basing this review solely on the pastrami sandwich. It's my fault for going to a burger joint and not getting a burger. I will go back and try a burger. read more

Stepping into Hamburger Habit feels like entering a time capsule. The red-and-white retro decor, Coca-Cola memorabilia, and quirky signs bring a smile and build excitement for a classic diner experience. With its history dating back to 1968, I was eager to see what the hype was about. I ordered a Sassy Burger (Swiss cheese, dressing, lettuce, and tomato) with fries and a small soda for $18.80. At that price, I expected something exceptional. While the burger tasted "ok" and had nostalgic simplicity, it was a bit small, and I still felt hungry. On the bright side, free drink refills are a nice touch. Hoping for better, I tried a hotdog. The first came out cold, but they quickly replaced it. Still, the hotdog was so-so--the bun was dry, and like the burger, it felt overpriced. While I appreciate Hamburger Habit's history and charm, the food didn't live up to the cost or my expectations. Online photos from 2020 look better, and many LA burger spots offer far better value. Unless you love retro vibes, the history alone may not be enough to bring you back. read more

The food for the price is NOT worth it, tuna melt doesn't even come with cheese anymore. It's a sad amount of tuna also. Sloppy made. Real let down. Grew up coming here all of the time. They don't seem to really care anymore, a stupid lollipop doesn't make up for the nonsense read more

My daughter and I came in today for the first time. Great service and food. Burgers reminded me of the Big Mac from the old days. Fries were crispy and delicious. They even have trad traditional lentils soup with fresh fried onions like my mom used to make The owner Frank is super nice and seems to give his customers those little extras that keep people coming back. read more

(Transferred from my duplicate account - Aug 9, 2016) The food isn't 4 stars but it is fine. I would say, because it is so close to my house, if I don't feel like going somewhere but I want a burger or a hotdog, I'd call in a pick up order. So, I will and have eaten from there a couple of times. It's just not the best food, if that makes sense. BUT the chocolate milkshakes are 10 stars! I don't even really like chocolate all that much, or at least it isn't my first choice. But I shared one of the chocolate shakes with my hub and thought I was going to die from happy taste buds. The customer service here is great though. They are nice and that goes a long way with me being a return customer. read more

We just love this Hamburger Habit. There are a few of them, but this one has the best service. The food is so great. Parking is easy in the strip mall lot in which it is located. Once in you order at the counter and you can dine there or do take away. They also deliver. They have great burgers and hot dogs and they make them the way you want them. There is nothing worse in my opinion than a well done hamburger. They make mine just the way I want it. The staff is ever so kind and the place is always spotless. Have fun. read more

Whenever I exit the freeway, waiting for the traffic lights to turn green, I would see this restaurant promoting their burgers as the "#1 burger in town". Well, I had been wondering for 4 years if that was indeed the case here. We finally gave it a try and decided not to come back, ever again. Although, I have to say, the place looked clean and the customer service here was great! Food: - The Sassy Cheese (8/10): The burger was actually pretty good. I liked the patty (not too salty), meat was juicy, lettuce tasted fresh, and the bun was puffy and mildly chewy. The only issue I had was the price. - The Chili Fries (3/10): oh, good Lord, this was horrible. The fries weren't anything to write home about. tasted pretty dull and that chili gravy on top made it worse! Does anyone actually find the photo that I took of the chili fries appetizing? I'm not going to say it, use your imagination. Nevertheless, I think everyone's taste buds are different. You might like it. However, if you are already a fan of in-n-out, then this place won't impress you. One sentence to summarize this burger restaurant? Average tasting and overpriced. read more

It was just a regular bland unseasoned burger and the chill cheese fries were below average I won't be back

Great food, nice owner and staff. Owner is very engaging and friendly. Really enjoyed it.

Excellent!!!! I have loved it here for years. Great hamburger and fries. Super owner.

I will preface this by saying, the only other time i've wrote a review was for a moving company that scammed me. i redownloaded my yelp app to do this review. that's how bummed I am right now. now for the review: to sum it in. 3 words...so incredibly disappointed. my boyfriend and I have been driving by this restaurant for years and we finally went today. we approach an attractive restaurant, all seems well. vibe is good. we order the food. I get the naked truth, my boyfriend gets the big scene, we share a large fries, and get a root beer float. we spent $34 on this. kinda pricy, but we are still feeling excited so we're feeling good about it. we get the food... my boyfriend and I look at each other like we've just been punk'd. the large fry was not in our minds large at all. my burger was inside a burnt bun, frail, and shriveling. my boyfriend's bun was also burnt on the top. his pickle was rotten. I didn't even want to touch my pickle after seeing his. we are not even half full. we are going to in-n-out to redeem our stomachs pain. confusion more than anything. how has this place been open since 1968? after coming here one time, we will never come back again. I can't even imagine anyone else coming back for a second visit after having an experience like ours. I feel ripped off, confused, and disappointed. save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else. see attached photos. look at the "large fry" lol.
