A Legacy of Charburgers and More
At Habit Burger & Grill, the magic starts with the Charburger—a burger that has become synonymous with quality and flavor. Cooked-to-order over an open flame, our Charburgers are meticulously crafted to deliver that perfect smoky taste and juicy texture. Each burger is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, ensuring that every bite is a testament to our commitment to excellence.
Signature Charburgers:
- Original Charburger: A timeless classic featuring a flame-grilled beef patty, crisp lettuce, juicy tomato, pickles, and our special Habit sauce, all nestled between a freshly baked bun. It’s the burger that started it all, and it continues to be a fan favorite.
- Santa Barbara Charburger: For a taste of coastal California, try the Santa Barbara Charburger. It’s topped with fresh avocado, crispy bacon, and melted cheese, creating a flavorful combination that captures the essence of Californian cuisine.
But our menu extends well beyond our renowned Charburgers. We celebrate a wide array of Californian-inspired flavors through a diverse selection of handcrafted sandwiches, crisp salads, and creamy shakes.
Handcrafted Sandwiches:
- Chicken Club: Featuring a perfectly grilled chicken breast, crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and tomato, this sandwich is a satisfying option for those seeking a lighter, yet equally flavorful meal.
- Crispy Chicken Sandwich: For a bit of crunch, the Crispy Chicken Sandwich delivers a crispy chicken filet topped with pickles and Habit sauce, all served on a toasted bun.
Crisp Salads:
- Santa Barbara Salad: This salad brings the freshness of California with mixed greens, avocado, grilled chicken, and a tangy citrus vinaigrette. It’s a healthy, delicious choice that doesn’t skimp on flavor.
- BBQ Chicken Salad: Featuring grilled chicken, black beans, corn, and a zesty BBQ ranch dressing, this salad is both hearty and satisfying.
Creamy Shakes:
- Classic Vanilla Shake: Made with real vanilla ice cream, this shake is a simple yet indulgent treat that pairs perfectly with any meal.
- Chocolate Chip Cookie Shake: For a sweet twist, try our Chocolate Chip Cookie Shake, blending creamy vanilla ice cream with chunks of chocolate chip cookies.
