Both adults and seven year old loved the burgers and fries (regular and sweet potato), and the staff was friendly. We got a buzzer but not a long wait. Nice tables outside but noisy traffic and no attempt at ambiance. Planters between tables and a street buffer would make waiting for food more pleasant

Kid-friendliness: Seven year old enjoyed getting his own drink and refill. Placements and crayons would help the wait for food (very hungry!)

The Habit is always a go to for a solid burger and fries, my most recent trip I had the Korean BBQ char which I'm assuming is a promo item. I liked it, I personally am not a fan of Kimchi which the burger has on it. But the melding of all the flavors still was solid for me.

Yah, this place is good. Go there and prove me wrong. LOL...you can't. It's that good.Posted this and the response from The Habit was, "Looking forward to seeing you again." Hmmm...I'm wondering if a thank you might be in order rather than just a message of hope that I come back??? Just a thought.
