Got some food through the drive though so we could eat on the beach lol. I think these burgers are best eaten in a restaurant because they were super messy 🍔. My burger juice was leaking all over me even with the double wrapping paper. And the salmon burger and chicken sandwich were slippery and falling apart. The taste was great though! lol

Oh, Habit Burger Grill in Pacific Beach, you’ve stolen a piece of my heart—and my appetite! My family and I rolled in with our little munchkin in tow, and let me tell you, the star of the show wasn’t just the perfectly charred burger or those crispy onion rings (though, whew, they deserve their own fan club). It was Abdull, the order-taking, baby-seat-wiping superhero we didn’t know we needed!
From the moment we walked in, Abdull greeted us with a smile so warm...

Habit is delicious and great quality. Some of the best burgers I've ever had. Food didn't take very long to come out, and staff were kind and answered all of our questions. Totally recommend it.
