| - This Habit location opening in West Valley is long overdue. If the mood strikes for one of their char burgers, my girlfriend and I previously had to venture all the way out to Glendale and 7th Street.
After dining here on a couple of occasions, I've found that the quality is pretty consistent with what I've come to expect. Although after reading some of the other reviews, it sounds as if they still have the quality control issues to iron out.
In my previous review of their Glendale location, I raved about how they are one of the few fast food burger chains that actually "gets it." Keep the menu simple, the quality of the burgers high, and the prices low enough to where they're not insulting. And make no mistake about it, for the price you pay, Habit makes a pretty damned good burger. In fact, even their malts and shakes are worth a mention for those rare times that I feel that my stomach can handle one in addition to the food.
I typically play it safe and just order a regular char with fries. I've experimented with their Santa Barbara style variation with mixed results. The portabella char was fine, but I still think their basic char is the best way to go.
Is it the best? Honestly, I don't think anyone will ever be able to top In-N-Out if you're sticking to fast food-level burger criteria - but the fact that I'm giving them a solid four stars says a great deal.
Good stuff!
