Habit Burger and Grill at a Glance

Habit Burger & Grill is a fast casual chain that cooks its burgers over an open flame. The menu is easy to read, but the prices and calories are hard to find in one place. This guide puts the full Habit menu on one page.

You will find burgers, sandwiches, salads, sides, meals, deals, shakes and drinks below. You will also find new items for 2026, allergen notes, store hours and simple ways to save money.

Habit Charburger Menu

Charburgers are the heart of the Habit menu. Each patty is cooked over an open flame, which gives it a smoky taste. The classic Charburger comes with caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo on a toasted bun. The Santa Barbara Char is the biggest burger on the list. It is served with fresh avocado on sourdough bread.

If you want a lighter burger, the BBQ Bacon Char has only 650 calories. The Teriyaki Char is also a good middle choice. An extra patty costs $2.00 and adds 230 calories.

Habit Signature Sandwiches

Not everyone wants beef. The sandwich list has chicken, steak, tuna, veggie and grilled cheese options. The Ahi Tuna Filet is the lightest one at 430 calories. The Sirloin Steak is the most expensive at $12.49.

Habit Fresh Salads

Habit has six full salads and one side salad. The Garden Ranch is the cheapest full salad at $7.19 and 410 calories. The Crispy Rice Korean Salad is the most expensive at $12.59. You can add extra chicken to any salad for $4.40.

Habit Sides and Snacks

Most people add fries, but the sides list has more to offer. The Tempura Green Beans are a fan favorite and have only 250 calories. The Crispy Chicken Bites come in a 5-piece and a 10-piece size.

The split baskets let you try two sides in one order. In this price list, each split basket costs $4.99, the same as a single onion rings or sweet potato fries order.

Habit Burger Meals

A meal gives you a burger or sandwich, a side and a regular drink. The calories change with the side and drink you pick. For example, the Charburger Meal has 940 to 1,250 calories. The Double Char Meal has 1,170 to 1,550 calories. Fries and a sugary drink sit at the top of each range.

Gotta Habit Deals

Gotta Habit is a limited-time deal list. It has $5 wraps and box deals for $9 and $10. These offers do not stay on the menu all year. Check the app or your local store to see if they are still running.

Family CharBoxes

Family CharBoxes are made for group meals. They are a good choice when four or more people are eating together. The calories are for the whole box, not for one person.

Habit Kids Menu

The kids menu has three choices, and each one costs $7.49. A kids meal comes with a drink and a side of fries or applesauce. It is best for children under 10. The calories change with the side you pick.

Habit Shakes and Frozen Treats

Every shake and sundae costs the same, $5.99. The Blue Wave Shake is the newest flavor. The Cookie and Cream Shake has the most calories at 800. The Blue Wave Shake has the fewest at 550, and the Orange Dreamsicle Shake is next at 560.

Habit Drinks

Habit serves fountain drinks, handmade juices, fresh brewed iced tea, bottled water and Poppi sodas. The calories depend on the flavor you choose. Water and unsweetened tea are at the low end.

Housemade Ranch and Sauces

Each ranch and sauce costs only $0.60. The three housemade ranches are Classic, Avocado and Spicy. Classic Ranch has the fewest calories of the three at 110.

New and Limited-Time Items in 2026

Habit launched a fresh menu on February 18, 2026. It added the Baja Crispy Fish Sandwich and the Cheesy Street Corn Tots as limited-time items. It also added the Blue Wave Shake, which is made with pineapple and coconut flavor and is now on the shake list above. Fish Fridays, which gave a free side of fries with the fish sandwich, ran from February 20 to March 27 and is over.

In July 2026, Habit started a chef residency called Habit & Co. The first chef was Jet Tila, and his Korean Street Menu ran until September 15. That promotion has ended. Some Korean-style items still appear on the price list used for this guide, but limited-time items can leave the menu at any time. Check your local store first.

Allergen and Gluten-Free Information

Habit says many of its items contain common allergens. These include milk, eggs, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame and fish. All food is made in a shared kitchen, so cross-contact can happen. Habit cannot promise that any item is fully free of allergens. Read the official allergen chart before you order.

For a gluten-free meal, the patty, grilled chicken breast and ahi tuna are safe when ordered lettuce-wrapped or without croutons. The Santa Barbara Cobb is also on the safe list. Avoid buns, rolls, croutons, fried items, the Mango Miso Crunch Salad, the Veggie Burger and the teriyaki sauce. Shakes, sundaes, fountain drinks, juices, iced tea and water are gluten free.

Habit Hours and How to Order

Most Habit locations open at about 10:30 AM and close at about 10:00 PM. Some stores stay open until 11:00 PM on Friday and Saturday. Mall and airport stores often close earlier, so check your store before you go.

You can order in the restaurant, at the drive-thru where available, in the Habit app, or online at order.habitburger.com. Food is cooked to order, so lunch hours can be slow. Ordering ahead can save you a wait.

About Habit Burger and Grill

Habit started in 1969 as a small burger stand in Santa Barbara, California. In 1980, the Reichard brothers bought the original location and grew the brand across California. In March 2020, Yum! Brands, the company behind KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, bought Habit. Today, Habit has nearly 400 restaurants in 15 states, along with food trucks.

Easy Ways to Save Money at Habit

Do not assume a meal is always cheaper. A Charburger with Cheese ($6.29), fries ($3.99) and a regular drink ($3.49) cost $13.77 on their own. The Charburger Meal costs $13.69. That is a saving of only 8 cents. A meal makes sense only if you want that exact side and drink.

The $5 Gotta Habit wraps are the cheapest full items on the menu when they are available. For a group, the $35 Classic Family CharBox is easier on the wallet than buying four separate meals. Sauces cost only $0.60, so you can add flavor without adding much to the bill. Always check the Habit app for offers before you pay.
