\"Hamburgers, the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast.\" I could spout off Pulp Fiction quotes all day, but I'm not reviewing Pulp Fiction. Suffice it to say, I'm a fan of hamburgers and a fan of the fast-casual burger joint trend that is sweeping the Valley. Habit Burger fits right into that mold. No drive-thru, but no waiters, and very cheap prices. (Burgers start at $3.)\n\nHabit goes with the model of using thin beef patties that you can double up. This leads to a less juicy product, but it also leads to In & Out Burger comparisons, and that's a tough standard to compete with. In & Out is even cheaper and carries the nostalgia factor. The major difference between the two burgers is that In & Out burgers come with \"secret\" ketchup-mayonaise and Habit Burger uses only mayo.\n\nHabit Burger does offer variety though. They have solid versions of fries, sweet potato fries, and onion rings. They have sandwiches of chicken, tri-tip or even grilled tuna. I actually tried their chicken salad once, which was... fine, I guess? Chicken over lettuce and a few vegetables. Boring, meets healthy, meets airplane dinner presentation.\n\nThere are other perks. I really liked the chocolate milkshake there. It was honestly one of the best milkshakes I've ever had. The jalapeno and pepperoccini bar is a nice touch. However, I think Habit Burger may be stuck in burger purgatory... or Burgatory, if you will. (Boo! I now hate myself.) For cheap burgers, go to In & Out. For a better and slightly more expensive carnivorous experience, you're safer with Fatburger or Five Guys.
