Hello! Time for another giveaway! Woot, woot!

The Habit opened a new location in Mira Mesa not too long ago. I wasn’t really excited about this because I figured, eh, it’s just another chain. When I initially went to The Habit a few years ago, I didn’t really care for it. But, since it was new and in Mira Mesa I figured I’d give it another shot. Glad I did! 

Grilled Chicken Sandwich at The Habit | San Diego, CA

On my first revisit to The Habit, I went for the Chicken Sandwich with BBQ sauce on a wheat bun. I enjoyed the flavor of the chicken – it was nice and juicy and had a nice char from the grill. The chicken stayed quite moist and wasn’t dried out at all – something I really appreciated. I also dig that it was served with orange slices. A solid sandwich!

Santa Barbara Char at The Habit | San Diego, CA

On another visit, I went for the Santa Barbara Char which is a double charburger on sourdough bread with cheese and avocado on top. I really liked the crusty grilled sourdough bread on this sandwich! I found it to be too filling though with the double patty action and only managed to eat half of this sucker. 

Single Santa Barbara Char at The Habit | San Diego, CA

Luckily my friend, Alyssa, told me she regularly orders the Santa Barbara Char as a single charburger. This didn’t even occur to me the first time so on a recent visit I went that route and got $.90 cents knocked off the price of my burger. Woohoo! Same great taste, same wonderful bread, and a more manageable size for my tummy.


Jake once got the regular old charburger on the normal white bun, and I found that I didn’t really care for it. That’s what I got on that original visit back in the day, so I’ve concluded I just don’t like the plain old charburger at The Habit. That’s okay though since they have plenty of other options that I do enjoy! 

I’ve got a sweet prize for one lucky ready today!

    Yummmmm
    Never tried it on a regular bun. ?

  2. I love the Santa Barbara Char Burger! Very excited about your tip to order it as a single. That never occurred to me, and I always have leftovers too!

  3. Well, I haven’t been to The Habit YET, but when I go I would like to try their tri-tip steak sandwich and maybe a mocha shake.

  4. Ranch dressing. Best fast casual ranch dressing that I have ever tasted. Eat alone or with their onion rings

    Thanks for posting your blogs.

  5. I always make my own Charburger with extra grilled onions, and add tempura green beans on the side. Those things are incredible!!

  6. I’m from SB, so I grew up with the Habit! My favorite was the charburger, but I’ve never had the SB char, so I’d have to try that!

  7. Double charburger with cheese with raw onions. Their basic burger done just right for me. Almost always looks great for pics, and tastes great!
