My first time ever ordering from a Habit Burger was a couple of days ago, and my two burgers were great! They were hot, they were juicy, they were loaded with flavor! I ordered again today, and the four burgers were not even luke warm, they were cold. They didn't look recently made. Part of the buns were soggy, part of the buns were hard. They tasted extremely salty! The tempura string beans were luke warm and too salty.

I went to Habit Burger on my birthday and had a pretty good experience overall. I got a free Charburger through their rewards program, which was a nice touch. The burger itself was really good—flavorful and satisfying. Personally, I found it a tad on the smaller side, but it was still filling. I’d just prefer if it were a little bigger, though that’s just preference.

We also ordered the sirloin burger, and that one was delicious—the bread was super airy...

I think Habit Burger is overhyped. The milkshake lacked flavor—Carl’s Jr. makes a better one. I ordered the Teriyaki Char with Cheese, and the pineapple looked old and unappetizing. Overall, it was a disappointing experience and I won’t be going back.
