How can a Habit be bad, if it comes with fresh ingredients & a side of fries? Am I right?
The Habit Burger Grill is the latest tenant at the revitalized Plaza 183 in Cerritos. Not to be confused with Plaza 187 in Compton yo, for all you Dr. Dre fans ;p
I had the opportunity to attend The Habit's Grand Opening, which so happened to be in my neck of the woods. Having not had a burger in a good while, my tummy screamed "burger time" driving up Gridley Ave to get here.
BBQ bacon charburger w/fries - Bacon, onion rings, cheese, mayo, pickles, tomato, lettuce & raw onions. Lettuce-wrapped, per request. This hit the spot for my tastebud burger hiatus. The patty was juicy, with crunchy bits of salty bacon & onion adding texture with each bite. The tomatos & pickles were bright & fresh. The BBQ bacon charburger was a decent size, and very good to eat. The fries were thick, crunchy on the outside & fluffy on the inside. After adding a dousing of malt vinegar & Cholula as dipping sauce, the fries were filling & A-OK.
Service was great. Since it was the Grand Opening, all hands were on deck. I didn't have to wait too long for my order, although a few people after me received their food first. Some of the staff offered to fetch me more Cholula and soda water w/green tea, which I took as a kind gesture. Not a lot of seating available, with booths, counters & al fresco seating facing the mall.
For those who haven't been to a Habit before, sandwiches & salads are also on the menu. On the sweeter side, hand-spun shakes & malts, cones & sundaes are available.
Parking is in a private lot at Plaza 183, and can become quite hard to come by. The Habit is located on the right of Blaze Fast-Fired Pizza & Pier 76 Fish Grill, west of Josephine's & east of Buffalo Wild Wings.
The Habit is another great casual eatery in Cerritos. The charburgers are fresh & flavorful, and their onion rings are quite remarkable. I can see myself being a regular at this location. The food's great, with the service to match. I think I'm gonna have a go with one of the malts next time. Quick & convenient, you should make it a habit to grab some burgers at The Habit.
Highly...
Read moreMy visit to The Habit Burger Grill in Cypress was nothing short of culinary joy. Let me take you on a delicious journey, as I relive every scrumptious detail of my visit.
As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a pristine and organized restaurant that could probably win awards for cleanliness. The staff had their game faces on, ready to attend to the needs of every patron who walked through their doors.
But now, onto the main event - the food. I opted for the Char Meal, a heroic trifecta of a cheeseburger, fries, and a drink. The cheeseburger was a star, grilled to absolute perfection. The char on the burger added this sublime smoky flavor, perfectly complementing the ooey-gooey cheese that melted right into the burger. Each bite was a party in my mouth, with the crunch of the fresh lettuce and the tang of the pickle providing a perfect counterpoint to the hearty beef and cheese.
As for the fries, they were like little golden sticks of happiness. Perfectly crispy on the outside, yet pillowy soft on the inside, they were the ideal sidekick to the star burger. The fries were unsalted; I prefer them salty and crunchy, but easy fix. For a drink; I had one of their signature drinks, Strawberry Lime-aid- Yum!
The staff were as attentive as a group of super-heroes, always there when you needed them, but without their presence ever feeling intrusive. I was impressed that one of the workers was checking on customers; offering refiles, napkins, sauces, etc. It was clear they had customer satisfaction at the heart of their service and nice to get the extra service at a fast food restaurant.
In short, my visit to The Habit Burger Grill was nothing short of sublime. The food was delightful, the atmosphere was inviting, and the staff were top-notch. If you're ever in Cypress, don't miss out on this gem. You'll walk away with a full stomach and a smile on your...
Read moreThere is absolutely no excuse for an ubereats order to not be ready as soon as an uber driver walks in to pick up the order in a world where uber drivers are being paid $5 for the order. The wait time increases an uber drivers inability to make more money based on the lack of efficiency & accountability this restaurant is presenting. Uber itself is losing money & there's no excuse for it. The Habit needs to hire at least 1 employee that is educated & knowledgeable as to the dire importance of delivery orders being hot & ready as soon as a driver walks in to pick up. To force an uber driver to sit & wait is straight up destroying a sector of the economy that is supposed to be more technologically advanced than walking in to pick up an order. Please provide the same if not more respect for uber deliver orders and the drivers who are jeopardized due to excessive wait times forced upon by negligent and slow...
