Habit Burger & Grill

One bite of a hot, juicy Charburger and suddenly you're in Santa Barbara, California, 1969. After all, it was in that picturesque, coastal Southern California town that the original Habit Burger Grill opened its doors. Soon after, an entrepreneurial young employee and his equally enterprising brother pursued of a new standard for freshness. They began with daily-baked buns from a local bakery and grilled them alongside perfectly seasoned beef until they were warm and toasty. They sourced fresh California produce for the ripest tomatoes and leafiest lettuce available. And, of course, they installed a stainless steel charbroiler with a cast-iron grill designed to sear smoky flavors into every burger placed upon its fiery grates. The brothers then turned their attention to other beach-inspired recipes--like a fresh-grilled ahi sandwich made with line-caught tuna; a chicken sandwich topped with crisp bacon and velvety avocado; and crisp salads made to order.
