This location perpetually messes up our orders. Either not following modifications or outright giving us the wrong food. When confronted, I get no resolution. Can't call the store directly to complain and once I get online I get offered coupons for another SUBPAR experience. The high turnover rate of employees there tells my your management team is also severely lacking. I want my $30 back. Do better all around.

The fact your combo meals went from like 12.50 to 17 is silly. Call me petty, but yes I am cuz then I found out later you now charge .65 measily cents for ranch and made me wait in a 7 person line after getting my food. Makes the new business model look Lame.

Great burger. No drama. No regrets. Tucked into a retail plaza where you'd expect a dentist or dry cleaner, The Habit in Costa Mesa is quietly slinging one of the best no-nonsense burgers in town. It’s clean, quick, and the staff move like they’ve got burgers to build (because they do).
The Double Char Burger? Not bad at all . Two flame-grilled patties, melty cheese, fresh veggies, and caramelized onions that low-key taste like they were slow-danced over a campfire. It’s all stacked in a sesame seed bun that doesn’t fall apart like your weekend plans.
And at around $8–9, it’s a steal in a world where mediocre burgers are charging Tesla prices.
Final thoughts: No frills. Big flavor. Solid vibe. Add fries and cold soda, you've peaked.

We like the food but this time I ordered a salad and they put added chicken which I never said. I was too tired to complain. Most tables were dirty. Like a lot of successful restaurants, after a while it starts to decline.
Best Teriyaki burger ever!!! And the deep fried avocado is so delicious dipped in ranch!!

After I swiped my credit card, I noticed that the wrong amount was charged. The manager said they weren't equipped to reverse and correct the charges like 99.99999% of all other places do. Manager said she would take my name and number to have somebody at corporate call me and fix it. I'm still waiting for a call. I felt the manager was unfriendly towards me and ignoring me during the remainder of my visit.

This was such a sad experience. We used to love The Habit. Not sure if it's a problem with how they train their employees, but the gal taking our order seemed new or just not sure of herself and we worried she didn't have our order quite right. When we received our food the fries were cold and one burger was missing cheese. They corrected one burger and one fry in our order, because I didn't want to feel we were wasting food. Taking our family of 5 out to eat is going to be pricey, but to pay $75 for a cold meal is ridiculous. My parents had a seperate order and she had to have them correct her peppermint shake, because they didn't include any peppermint flavor. I understand that all restaurants have to pay more for rent and overhead, but you can still find places that take time to train their people well to ensure hot food and orders taken correctly. Everyone needs to take responsibility for this. Customer service has always been the most important for good reason. If it's good, people will come back. Sad to say I wont go back to The Habit.
Nice burger!
