Finally! A burger joint that lives up to expectations! I've been fairly critical of the new, hip burger restaurants that have been gaining notoriety over the last couple of years. Primarily because they undelivered in service. The Habit nailed it!
Don't get me wrong. There are lots of good burgers out there and I've acknowledged that. However, The Habit Burger Grill is one of the few that provides a unique burger, nice atmosphere and great service. (Pay attention Burger Theory!)
A number of people I know have all told me The Habit was their favorite burger joint. Based on those recommendations and the fact they opened a new location in Avondale, my hockey amigo and I decided to check out The Habit for dinner.
I like the fact that the menu is simple (think "upscale In-N-Out"). Hey! They are both burger chains based in California. They both focus primarily on burgers, but there is enough variety on the menu to keep you interested. There is a fried chicken sandwich, a tuna fillet sandwich and some amazing side options.
I chose the house specialty Double-Char burger with cheese and classic lettuce & tomato toppings. It's simple, cooked perfectly to order and really delicious. It's not the BEST burger I've ever had, but it's really close. My companion's burger had me feeling jealous. He made his a wrap (with lettuce and no bun). His was a single, but he added a grilled portobello mushroom and cheese. He absolutely loved it!
Now that I've made it to The Habit, I'm gonna make it a habit. Especially considering they have a drive-thru window. And amazing service! Thanks guys and gals!
