Anyone heard of Habit burgers?? I know it's a fast growing hamburger chain out of California. Are they any good?? What is their claim to fame??

I had one once, it was pretty good. Along the lines of 5 guys, but with more options and salads, chicken sandwiches, etc... so you can actually take your wife there with you.

Char-broiled burnt taste, shredded lettuce that tastes like chemicals.
I prefer 5 Guys but In-and-Out is better than both for a chain.

Just out of curiosity what does a franchise burger go for in SoCal nowadays? Been a few decades.

5 guys would be amazing if its price point was lower, as it is its price is the same as some really incredible restaurant burgers that they cant hold up to. you cant get fries a drink and burger there for under $12 so whats the point?

at in n out you can still get fed for around $6 and it has that flavor that might as well be crack cocaine

Surf music and food.
Always a necessary theme for the modern surf musician.

Never go home or to rehearsal or to a gig or to bed or to work or in the internet undereaten.

I never understood the So Cal craze for In and Out, especially when we have Tommy's with that big fat tomato and wonderful chili and them yellow peppers. I have often thought along the same lines that Ryan is talking above that, with the masses willing to sit in long lines at In and Out, they must have crack cocaine in their ingredients.
Where Habit is concerned, I'm with Big Tiki, they are not particularly memorable BUT I do love their tuna sand. It's an albacore tuna steak on grilled sourdough - mmm mmmm. They do put pineapple in their teriyaki hangabur and that's purdy good. -Marty

Here in Bama we have Hardee's which is Carl jr's. No In and Out either.
Whataburger, which is a southern chain. It's much better than 5 Guys.
No Habit. Don't have that one. Think I'll stick with Whataburger......

Gotta agree with Big Ryan ...5 Guys is good but I don't need or want a gallon of fries and 12 bucks is just too much for lunch . I love I/O Burger ..way better than most other quick burger options and they do lettuce wrap for when I'm dieting. Secret menu is always good too ...get it your way.
This week I am high on CARLS JR el Diablo Burger ,jalapenos and poppers on the burger...yum.
oh ...Habit Burger was not memorable , good but not great . Not many local to SD

I still like Fuddrucker's (SoCal, maybe other areas too) better than any of the other chains. It's expensive, but worth it.

They just built one right up the street from me. I'll have to give it a try. However, our best local chain is Crown Burger. If you're ever out this way, look me up and we'll go. It's the shiznit!
