“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars!

Shoutout to Jack—our super fantastic server! Since it was a busy Saturday- he was all over the place servin a bunch of tables but still made us feel genuinely taken care of from start to finish. Big thanks to JC and the restaurant manager for delivering our food in record time—everything was hot and perfect! 🔥

I had the Quesadilla Salad and it was absolutely fire! We couldn’t resist the half-off apps, so you know we inhaled those wonton tacos. The rack of ribs? Slammin’ good! 😋

Jack also hit it out of the park with the dessert reco—that Lava Cake with ice cream was the perfect sweet ending to our night. And let’s not forget… he kept my lemons coming for my water on the rocks all night long! 😂 💧Also, he was super attentive to my 7-year old daughter for every request she made! She was lovin' her bottomless Strawberry Lemonade!

Truly 5-star service across the board. We’ll definitely be back. 🙌“

“Had an overnight stay at the Hotel for business. Didn’t want to go out just something simple but good. The classic burger did not disappoint. Cooked exactly as I asked. Super juicy and fresh toppings. Fries were the seasoned kind. Just crispy enough but not too much. The menu has lighter foods and more upscale if that is your craving. Service was friendly and food came out in a very reasonable amount of time.“

“Stopped in at The Habit Burger and it turned out to be one of those meals that’s way better than “just grabbing a burger.” I ordered the charburger meal, and it was everything you’d want from a freshly made burger—juicy, smoky, and stacked with that crisp lettuce and perfectly toasted bun that makes you pause after the first bite.

The surprise highlight? Their dragonfruit limeade. It’s not just colorful—it’s tangy, refreshing, and balances out the savory burger and fries like a secret weapon. Speaking of fries, the fry sauce situation here is next level: it’s unlimited. You don’t have to ration tiny cups—you can dip unapologetically, which is exactly how fries should be eaten.

The vibe was casual but welcoming, and the food felt crafted with more care than your standard fast-casual spot. Definitely worth a visit if you want a burger experience that’s a step above.“

Lobster Bisque

“Went in at 2:50 pm on a Sunday evening. I do not regret coming in . At first i was a bit unsure of what to order considering how small the menu was so i decided to ask the server for her opinion. She ended up recommending a meatball pasta which i loved so much. If i could go back tn i would. The only concerning thing is the size of the plate. It is a very small portion and didn’t even get me full. Luckily i ate my girlfriends food otherwise i would’ve had to order a second plate. Besides the serving portion every thing else including service was great. Would recommend for those who are curious and want to try it out.“
