From our humble beginning in Santa Barbara, California in 1969 to more than 240 Habit Burger Grill restaurants in communities across the country today, we have always continued to operate under the same simple philosophy: always deliver high-quality food and great service at reasonable prices. The Habit is a burger-centric fast casual restaurant that uniquely combines chargrilling over an open flame to create a delicious variety of fresh and flavorful award-winning burgers, sandwiches, salads and more. At the core of The Habit is our commitment to a ‘quality-first’ mindset. We call it ‘The Habit Difference’.
