With a loan in hand from mom, two young brothers started the Habit Burger Grill in Santa Barbara in 1969. Focusing on using fresh ingredients, the brothers worked with local farmers to buy only the best tomatoes and lettuce for their hamburgers.
Habit Burger's traditional “Charburger” has long been a guest favorite, but the grill has plenty of other items on its menu. Sandwiches as well as salads loaded with extras like freshly-grilled chicken, bacon bits, and eggs are also available at Habit Burger. Guests can order classic sides like French fries and onion rings, but Habit Burger also serves its own special side dish: fresh-cut green beans deep-fried in a light, buttery batter.
