“Limited menu for dinner, and last call at 8:00pm on a Friday night, but a super easy spot for a solid burger and flatbread.

My travelling companion had the Club Sandwich and said it was great - and he's eaten a lot of club sandwiches!

Service was great and kept my Diet Pepsi filled up, and offered us drinks back to our hotel room.

Perfect if you are staying at the hotel, but not a destination restaurant.“

“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.“

“Every time we visit Habit Burger Grill, it’s a win. While their burgers are consistently top-notch—juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked—it’s their salads that are the real hidden gem.

Seriously, the salads here are so underrated. Fresh, crisp, loaded with flavor, and surprisingly satisfying. Whether you’re trying to eat healthy or just want something lighter, they absolutely deliver.

And let’s be honest—their burgers? They always hit. Every. Single. Time.

This place doesn’t miss. Great food, fast service, and consistency that’s rare these days. Five stars all day. If you haven’t tried their salads yet, you’re sleeping on one of Habit’s best-kept secrets.“

“The food was great. Hubby said best wings he’s ever had. Cheese bites are bomb.
The restaurant wasn’t very busy but we waited for a very long time to actually be served after being seated. Then once food was finally ordered our waitress never came back until the very end of our dinner to ask if we wanted refills & take our trays. My fried pickles were super flimsy not crunch at all which was a bummer since they’re my favorite. After waiting a long time to pay out, At that point we were done so we just passed on refills and headed out.“

Recently we came in and had a tall blonde/brownish short hair be our waitress, and we kind of felt non existent, she was talking to a male customer for most of the time so I had to ask another waitress for things that we needed.“

“Haven’t been to IHOP in years and I went with my crazy family and the team here took good care of us.

As we know how ridiculous it can be to coordinate with family, the host staff were so patient and direct with us. Want to give a big shout out to the hosts, Athena and her team.
Our server, Carlos, was so helpful and always checked in with us.

This might be the new family hangout spot!“
