What is it with Arizona and their obsession with California chains? It's like every mediocre thing they have in CA, it must be imported here to please the transplants and the AZ residents that have CA envy. Unfortunately for The Habit Burger Grill, this is more like the mediocre CPK than it is the fantastic In n Out.
The burger's are 1/4lb so to get 1 patty for $4 (without fries and a drink) is outrageous, especially when I can get a double double meal for around $5-6. I went with the double with fries and a drink and it was over $8. Burger was average, fries mediocre. For people that eat in they even use the same burger diapers In n Out uses.
I don't know what was up with the place, they literally had 10-15 employees working when I was there. There were 6 of us dining in. Maybe that's why it is so pricey, they have too many people to pay. This place may appease the LA transplants that feel everything is better from back home but I don't see too many people deciding to spend $3 more for inferior food than a drive thru like In n Out.
The only thing "habit" about this place is that I'm going to make a habit of not going back. I also didn't understand why they felt the need to give out the vibrating thing as I waited for my order. I wasn't waiting for a table, I was waiting for a bag of food.
Hit up Lobby's a mile or so north for a big, juicy, flavorful burger that is locally owned and blows away this less than stellar chain from CA. The most disappointing thing is the landlord kicked out TOTTs for a run of the mill burger chain.
