The Habit Burger Grill

The Habit Burger Grill, now known as Habit Burger & Grill, is a California-based fast-casual restaurant chain renowned for its freshly chargrilled burgers, sandwiches, salads, and shakes.

Established in 1969 in Santa Barbara, California, the brand has grown to over 385 locations across the United States and internationally, including countries like China and Cambodia.

The restaurant's signature offering is the Charburger, a burger cooked-to-order over an open flame, which imparts a distinctive smoky flavor.

The menu also features a variety of items such as marinated chicken sandwiches, sushi-grade ahi tuna sandwiches, fresh salads, and handspun shakes.

In August 2021, Habit Burger & Grill expanded its menu by introducing plant-based options in collaboration with Impossible Foods, offering the Original Impossible™ Burger and the Impossible™ Bistro Burger to cater to a broader range of dietary preferences.

In March 2020, Yum! Brands, the parent company of KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell, acquired Habit Burger & Grill for $375 million.

This acquisition has facilitated the brand's expansion and innovation, including the introduction of new menu items and the opening of additional locations.
