The Habit Burger Grill

So my friend from back home recommended that I check out The Habit which I found out is a popular burger chain. I decided to come here a while ago and to start off by ordering the #1 Charburger combo with fries and drink so I can find out what the hype was all about. All I have to say is that it was such a disappointment! While the burger was fine it was not anything out of the ordinary and the fries were lacking sadly. The only bright spot was that I decided to substitute the drink for a vanilla shake which ended up being a good decision on my part as the shake was quite good. The service I felt could have been better as well — people were friendly to me but didn’t really seem encouraged to go the extra mile. It could have just been me as I was expecting a lot more out of everything here.
With so many other burger chains in the Phoenix metro I will probably give this a miss from now on. Sorry but I really expecting a lot more out of The Habit and left very underwhelmed.

This was first time here I will be back food was delicious disappointed they didn’t carry pastrami sandwich but I would recommend coming here

My review is for the catering services which I had to call a centralize number. I called in an order at 11:10 AM for nine hamburgers nine orders of fries it took me 20 minutes for the person to reply that that was during the rush-​hour and they could not process the order it was too large. They could not work in an order for nine hamburgers to pick up at 11:45? Could they have not just told me that the first place? By the time they answered my question I stopped by the store and it was not even extremely busy. There is a lot of competition in the hamburger market and this customer service was extremely poor.

Best burgers in town!
Seriously, I have been searching many places to find my favorite burger joint and this place has exceeded expectations!
I have had a few of their options but the Santa Barbara style is by far my favorite. I always leave way too stuffed and even more satisfied.
All the staff members are friendly and do a good job at keeping the tables and restaurants clean.
Having been to a large handful of competitors in the Tempe area, I feel confident saying these are some of the (consistently) best burgers in town.
In-​n-​out has been a long time favorite until I tasted the superior quality of Habit burger. It is a little more expensive than cheaper burger places– but you can definitely taste the quality!

The food here never disappoints, it’s always fresh and delicious! It’s a little slice of home since they had this restaurant back in California. The best onion rings with the ranch, omg, you’ll be back again, you cant just eat here once! A must for true burger connoisseur! Yumm!

We had their charburger, fries, and vanilla shake. I thought that the charburger was a bit too grill flavored for me. The presentation of the burger was neat, unlike other burger places. I thought that the fries were good. The shake was pretty delicious because it tasted like the inside of an orange creamsicle without the bad orange flavor. They also let you have pepperocinnis from their condiment area. I thought that the pepperocinnis tasted a bit like pickles. The service was friendly.

Tonight was a decision between Smashburger and Habit Burger. Never had Habit Burger but I figured I’d give it a try since I’ve never seen one before.
The Santa Barbara was awesome. If that’s all I’d ordered, I’d probably give this place 5 stars. Unfortunately I also ordered a regular Charburger with cheese and sweet potato fries. I hate that plastic imitation American cheese so I asked for Swiss. Of course it still came with American. Strike one. The sweet potato fries might have been good but were as cold as if they were 3 hours old. Strike two. The awesome Santa Barbara is the only reason this place even gets 2 stars.
Thanks for making me waste $ 7 on inedible food Habit Grill.

Disappointing, … The location at McClintock and Guadalupe does not have it together and was a huge let down after I bragged about it and brought a group of friends. My onion rings were burnt and my cheese burger had no cheese. One of the guys took my burger back and slapped a piece of cheese on it and when I got it back the burger was cold and the cheese unmelted with a cold bun. Needless to say I did not eat it nor the burnt onion rings. Dealing with the burger was such a big ordeal that I didn’t even mention the onion rings. This location is COMPLETELY different from my experience at the Phoenix location on 16^th Street and was a true let down.

Please come to Tucson. ASAP We have In N Out, Five Guys, Freddy’s and Smashburger but Tucson NEEDS THE HABIT PLEASE

I got a chicken caesar salad to go. Got home and there was no dressing on my salad. $ 7 for plain lettuce :/

My teriyaki burger was a five stars. My wife got the regular char burger and it wasn’t as good.
Make sure to order the fries extra crispy.

One of the best burgers and drinks Ive had in a long time. A must try if your in the area very clean and friendly service. Next time going to try the desert.

Was in the mood for a burger and this was close by. I really went plain, meaning, burger and pickles on a bun! The bun was toasty and I liked that but the burger didnt have much flavor on its own, it was just ok. I do love their onion rings though, mmmmm.

I never thought I would put any burger on the level of Five Guys, however The Habit is every bit as good, especially considering the price! The double char with cheese is right around five dollars, while the same thing at Five Guys will run you close to $ 8. The burger here IS smaller, but still plenty.
This specific location is fantastic, the employees are great, and I love the Strawberry lemonade thing they make in house every day. Only negative is that the fries are pedestrian. They were fine, but the second time I just got a burger and skipped the fries. I’ve heard great things about the sweet potato fries. Not really my thing.
If you’ve never had this burger, drop what you’re doing and go there now!

Came here after running the Rock N Roll Arizona Marathon. Ordered the mushroom char with bacon and a side of onion rings. Their Onion Rings are the best!!! I really like that they have a giant fan on the ceiling, pretty cool!

The burgers here are delicious. The Santa Barbara style burger is served on sourdough toast. It comes wth two char burger patties. Always juicy, cooked just right. Loaded with avocado, grilled onions, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles, they cut it down the middle and is big enough to share.
Or if a classic burger is what you’re craving, you can’t go wrong with the original charburger. Also served with grilled onions.
I paired mine with the tempura green beans, they are light and crispy. Not greasy at all. Served with a side of ranch.
The onion rings are really good also. Not greasy and fried just right.
Topped off with a strawberry limeade at the beverage counter and you will leave here one happy customer…

Overall, The Habit is actually a pretty good burger place. The burger seems fresh, is a pretty good size and very reasonably priced. Where else will you find a fully garnished hamburger for only $ 3? Also they have a great selection of other things like chicken and even a couple of salads that are pretty solid. Really what tops it off though is the fries, sweet fries and onion rings. You just can’t go wrong getting any of them here and that’s really necessary to make a good burger joint. Also, I have to add, their Coke machine makes some good stuff too. I really kind of dislike the ice at some places, but here they have real solid cubes of ice that produce a very classic soda.
Specifically at this location, they have an above-​average layout with outdoor seating and even the staff is always extra friendly here. If you like a burger and fries this is a great place to get it at a reasonable price. It really beats McDonalds, Burger King and Wendys everyday for a similar price point.

Q: How did the jury find the hamburger?
A: Grill-​ty as charred!
This beloved California chain that has made its way to Utah, Nevada, and Arizona is amazing. Mr. Dubs and I came here today when SRP screwed up one thing or another and the whole neighborhood’s electricity went out. Do you know how hard it is to pop in your contacts and do eyeliner in the dark? It’s hard. But the struggle was well worth it when a delicious charbroiled burger and lovely A/​C was there to greet you.
After the lovely server went through the menu with us and gave us some suggestions, we ordered the Teriyaki Char, the #2 Original Double Char meal, and a side of tempura green beans. Such delicious charry bits of goodness! Everything was well-​seasoned, had good flavor, and tasted great. I especially loved the tempura green beans with a side of ranch. It was well worth the extra calories. Get lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms, and grilled onions on your burger for no extra charge but cheese is like $ 0.55 extra and stuff like bacon and avocados are also an extra dime or two. Don’t forget to stop by the swanky chili peppers/​pepperchinis/​pickles bar and grab yourself a strawberry purée limeade with cucumber slices. It was a bit sweet for my liking but it was super refreshing on this hot summer day!
All in all, I’ll definitely be back here again! Indoor seating is limited as well as parking and since there was a constant flow of customers, the place could end up a bit messy but oh well. Good food at decent prices! $ 20 lunch for two ain’t too shabby for a fast food joint with much better quality.

I wanted to give Habit Burger Grill 4 stars on the strength of the burger, and when my wife saw that she gasped in disbelief, and insisted Habit is only 3 stars.
She wins.
She did not like the grilled chicken salad she ordered. Way too much flavorless iceberg lettuce, she said, and the grilled chicken while ok, was nothing special. The dressing was typical processed salad dressing.
But I came for the burgers.
Overall my double charburger was good. I liked the onions, and the shredded lettuce and other toppings. The burgers are cooked on a grill, and I thought the patties were a little dry, and not as tender as I would’ve liked. I really prefer patties cooked on a flat top, they tend to be juicier cooked that way. And there wasn’t much char on my burgers, or at least I couldn’t taste any.
The fries were a letdown. They’re ok, but just ok.
Habit burger was tops in a Consumers Reports reader’s survey of Burger chains. But I disagree. It’s a step up for sure from Wendy’s or McDonalds, but there are better burgers chains out there for sure.

Oh my god, MOUTHGASM.
That is literally the best description I can give in regards to the flavors that tickled my taste buds once I took my first bite of a Habit Burger. The meats are so juicy, and the veggies are so fresh, I can’t believe I’ve ever settled for less, before. The fries are just the right amount of crispy and flavorful, without the overdose of salt. I honestly just couldn’t get enough.
My favorite part of this place is the ability I have to customize just about anything on the menu. On my last visit, 2÷16÷15, I ordered a veggie patty with swiss cheese and a side of fries. I’m not even a vegetarian, but DANG! That was one tasty veggie burger! In addition to what is prepared behind the counter, many of the condiments and «side offerings» on the flip side are equally as wonderful in flavor and variety.
To top it all off, the customer service here was great! The man who took my order was all smiles, very welcoming, and friendly.
While this place is a bit on the pricier side of the spectrum, you ultimately get what you pay for… and that’s just pure bliss.
