Bedt ALBACORE sandwich ever. I love the food and healthy fries.

I love the hamburgers and Fries in the habit I love eating there

It is very nostalgic...old school dinner unlike the newer Habits

Good price and amazing competitive tasting food.

Absolutely love coming to Habit, the employees are always very friendly.

Better than McDonald’s but a little bit more expensive

Great tasting Burgers and Fries and Shakes

BEST BURGER EVER! BETTER THAN IN AND OUT

Better burgers and fries than in n out

They got great veggie burgers

Friendly staff and super good food.

Best burger and fish sandwich in town

Only The Habit that gets 5 stars in my book.

Good place to eat, no parking.

Awesome food...tasty and fresh !!

Big fan of their Oreo shake! Bomb!

Always great from service to food!

Great burgers

Santa Barbara Char!

Very good burgers

Decently fast order rate and great, consistently food as always

love the burger. Cheap and fresh

Very tasty burgers. Everything made it in my to-go bag. Friendly staff and great experience!

This is specifically for and in recognition of Danni. I had a missing item from the Hollister location and called IV by accident. Danni went over and beyond and contacted the other store to arrange reorder and pick. Thank you Danni for exceptional service.

Really one of the best burger places I've ever eaten at. The price could be cheaper, but still, totally worth it! Looking forward to the day Habit beat In-and-out. JK XD

the nicest workers and one of the best veggie burgers i’ve ever had. also their music taste is immaculate

Reasonable prices for good fast food

High quality food at low prices. Especially like their Santa Barbara char, fries and chocolate shake.

Great food and efficient service. Parking isn’t so great, but other than that the food is splendid.

Great food and quick service. Prices are fair, but quality of food is definitely above average

Fantastic burgers with great prices and fast service. One of my frequently visited spots

For sure one of the best fast food burgers you can get!

Great burgers, better than the habit I've been to back home.

The best burgers in town! Habit never disappointed me.

Food tastes great, price is acceptable.

Love the food. Prices are reasonable. Staff is friendly.

Can't go wrong here. Seating can be limited but food comes out as fast as possible.

A popular place for burgers and fries. Can be busy, but goes fast

Great pricing, the food is good quality and good tasting as well.

I ordered the Santa Barbara Char and the Onion rings and it all tasted amazing. The cashier was incredibly nice and the service was quick. The portion size is perfect and the prices are very reasonable. This is a great burger place! 5/5 Stars.

This has been my go to spot for years. I come here at least once a week. Always surprisingly fast for the amount of people here. Double char is always reliable, and sometimes I get the triple char when I am extra hungry after a long day. Seating isn't always available, but people cycle out pretty quickly.

Great food, but this place is always insanely busy. I came at what I thought would be more of an off hour but it took 20mins to recieve my order, and there was no seating available.

Food is always hot and fresh. Employees are awesome really polite and helpful. It's a great lunch place ..it's inconvenient they don't have Restrooms as you need to figure out how to wash your hands but overall it's a great bite

Thank you to the employees who helped me clean up and remade my order when i dropped it as soon as i got it 😭 you are very kind

I absolutely love Habit Burger. A lot of people like to compare it to In N Out and put them in some sort of competition, but I think that's wholly unfair -- I happen to enjoy both equally for their own unique tastes. Habit Burger has very well cooked and filling entrees, and their fries are far more unique. Give this place a go, it's a great burger joint in the area

Hits the spot every single time. The Habit never misses. I always order a regular burger on whole wheat bread, sweet potato fries, and five chicken bites. I'll never forget those Friday nights in college -- walking to the Habit with my roommates and eating it while watching movies like La La Land. Good vibes only! I also just realized that college is in the past and now I'm spiraling.

This is the best place to stop for lunch if you find yourself in IV and are craving a burger. Habit was voted best burgers in the country for a reason. Simple and delicious. Plus, you can add avocado and bacon! I recommend getting the sweet potato fries. You won't regret it. The only negative thing to say about this location is the lack of indoor seating. It's all outside in the shared space. It's not usually a bad thing except for those days that the weather isn't the usual great SB weather. Bonus hack: ask for a half side of mayo and fill the remainder of the small container with Cholula Sauce and mix together. Use it instead of ketchup for your fries. You can thank me later. ;)

We are visiting from Virginia and decided to stop in kn our way to our stay. This place has the best burgers.

Good hamburgers

Great burgers. And at a fun college atmosphere.

Good food, crowded as expected.

Good Ahi sandwich, trifle on the dry side

Good food but long lines.

Decent burgers for a decent price

Cool but not perfect.

I dont.know how but the burgers here feel bigger than the other locations

Good food. Serving size was a little bit small for me, but otherwise it was a great lunch!

My first experience with a Habit burgers and I am impressed. Very similar to In N Out, as good or better.

tempura green beans were good but very salty

Clean your outdoor patio more please! Great food and love your salads!

The foods quality is ok. Fry's and onions are very good.

Keep in mind that I am an In N Out type of person. With that said, The habit is absolutely a great alternative!!! Good burger places with competitive prices are few, this place is no exception. The female at the register taking my order was kind and always had a smile. She is perfect for working the business front. The combo meal was awesome!!! I ate it during my time of starvation and it was exactly what l needed. Every bite was amazing. Bonus: there are cute little black birds that are looking for food in the outdoor dining area. This place really deserves a 4 star average rating imo, but I suppose other people had really bad experiences here...not me :)

Delicious burgers. Some argue it's better than In'n'out... but is it really? The meat is definitely good quality and the ingredients are fresh. We regret how the employees at the counter often behave like robots and simply spits out a learned speech to your face without even smiling.

Quality burger, a little pricy, made me wait longer than my friend who ate his whole burger before mine came, ergo the star deduction, however, the ketchup was tasty. Maybe make a habit of serving customers faster!

Pleasant outdoor dining

Kinda sketchy, kinda quirky, kinda cute

Royal portions! Seating is drafty.

wasn't as good as the one on Hollister

Habit is my second favorite burger place after In-N-Out. After working out at the gym I reward myself with a double char and fries.

The double charburger does not taste that good but it is an OK option sometines.

This was my first time eating at the Habit. The person running the cash register was incredibly friendly. She was patient with allowing me to figure out my order and even gave me recommendations. I ordered the Chicken sandwich with teriyaki sauce, grilled oniions, and a side of fries. The fries were excellent, however, the sandwich lacked flavor. In fact it did not taste like teriyaki at all. When I returned inside to ask for a side of sauce, the person at the register asked me how my food was. I explained that it was not flavorful at all and she apologized and offered me more sauce. Over all, I would give the Habit another try because of the great service even though I was disappointed with the food.

Old overused oil, burgers weirdly grey like they were boiled instead of flame grilled

The food size keep shrinking over the years, and now, the Chicken Club sandwich has a squashed chicken meat thinner than a piece of paper, one piece of bacon and tripled tomato, which makes it looks “bigger” in size.

I ordered extra add ons TWICE and paid quite a bit extra for it but both times they did NOT put it into my burger. The first time I had to physically check the burger upon receiving it and the second time I was in a rush so I left without checking and to my greatest disappointment the add ons that I paid for were not included. There werent even a lot of customers so I dont see how you cant get an order correct.

Their hours are totally off. We drove all the way to Isla vista for a great cheap burger and they were completely closed. Even if it is only summer hours it was incredibly inconvenient and out of my way. I honestly do not see myself coming here ever again.

I became extremely sick after eating a burger there. I did not eat anything else yesterday, the only meal I had was a double cheeseburger. I became extremely sick the entire night and the morning after. I have no doubts the food there got me sick. DO NOT EAT THERE....,

Terrible service - missing items from order & they refused a refund. Workers are untrained & service is slow

This has the absolute worst burger patty out of all the habit locations I’ve been to. I don’t know where they source their beef from but it’s the absolute worst pre-frozen patty I’ve ever had. There are no word to describe it. I live in Southern California and have been to multiple locations and I was truly surprised that the location near the university was this bad. I wore them no points if I could, and may God have mercy on this location.

Paid an extra $3 for each impossible patty on my burgers, they came undercooked and soggy. It was so bad I took them off and ate the bun and fillings without them. They were not only overpriced but gross. If you aren't able to prepare them properly, just take them off the menu. It's so much better for your business and the customers to not have a veg option than to have a bad one. You'd think that knowing how to cook a burger patty wouldn't be too much to ask a burger joint but I guess the Habit doesn't.

Well-trained staff? Ordered double char burger online but received a completely wrong one. It's a waste of money also wait time. Guess what? This restaurant doesn't care about customers. SOrry, NO next time...

I would advise to double check your bags or orders before leaving just in case due to the fact I went in today and ordered in person for to go. Unfortunately I was charged for fries that I never got because they didn’t pack the order completely or double check before handing it off &’ when I noticed there was no fries in my bag i wasnt near habit anymore.

Ordered online and waited over an hour in restaurant after texted it was complete for it to be ready! Unable to cancel it they said! At least 30 other people waiting for their orders too. Ridiculous
