I don't eat there often as it's not my favorite. I like their tacos, but I swear they're not the same as the ones I remember getting when I was a kid in San Diego in the early 60's. I get a kick out of their commercials though.<br /><br />C.Lee -- I don't often review books on my blogs. When I do the comments usually go down a good bit.<br /><br />Phil-- Not sure about everyone else, but I've been really bad about visiting blogs in the past several months. It's a time thing partly. Good to see you stop by though.<br /><br />Yvonne-- I hope you get a buy link so I can promote your book. I want you to sell all you've got and run another printing.<br /><br />Sheena-kay-- Habit Burger has a long way to go before they have as many locations as McDonald's and many other chains.

I'm not a big fan of "sloppy" burgers and I don't know that I'd order a veggie burger other than out of curiosity. <br /><br /><i>...I was more impressed with the Rings than I was with the Burger.</i><br /><br />Good onion rings are hard to find in fast food restaurants other than some of the independents. I'm not close enough to Paramount Studios to entice me to the place you talked about. I'd say there are some similar places not far from me. I have had some pretty good onion rings at nearby establishments, but the orders are usually too big and kind of expensive.<br /><br /><i>What I really DID NOT LIKE about The Habit Burger Grill was how hot and stuffy it was inside</i><br /><br />My local Habit Burger is somewhat small, but it seems adequately sized. The one you went to must have been having AC problems. I'd give them another chance maybe.<br /><br />Thanks for the report. I'll be giving mine in a week or two.<br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-90994664984504568432014-10-13T14:53:33.170-07:002014-10-13T14:53:33.170-07:00JoJo-- I have a feeling that I will become a habit...JoJo-- I have a feeling that I will become a habitual customer at Habit Burger.

I did go to The Habit Burger back on August ...LEE ~<br />I did go to The Habit Burger back on August 20th, as I indicated I was going to do on your original blog bit.<br /><br />My assessment?<br /><br />Well, first thing you gotta consider is that I am a vegetarian, so I ordered the veggie burger, which might not be (and probably is not) as good as their regular meat hamburgers which are, according to their name, their claim to fame.<br /><br />The Veggie Burger was big and pretty sloppy (a good thing) but I have had better. I was really looking forward to the guacamole (as pictured on the burger in your original post) but there was not nearly as much on it as I anticipated and it tasted it bit bland, so that was a disappointment.<br /><br />Overall I would give the Veggie Burger a "B". Pretty good but not memorable enough that I would return for another.<br /><br />I ordered the onion rings also because I remembered you said you had a thing for the O' Ring.<br /><br />The onion rings were fairly large and definitely better than average. (No comparison to those stringy rings you'd get at McD's or Joke-In-The-Box.) However, again, I've had better onion rings but I would give these a "B+" and say I was more impressed with the Rings than I was with the Burger.<br /><br />What I really DID NOT LIKE about The Habit Burger Grill was how hot and stuffy it was inside. The place was pretty small and with that grill fired up all the time it was uncomfortably warm inside and I was eager to eat quick and get out of that sauna. I don't know if their A/C unit wasn't working properly or if it's always that hot and stuffy due to the size and the heat coming off the grill, but I don't believe I'll be returning - at least not to THAT particular location.<br /><br />Unequivocally, the very best Onion Rings I've ever had were at a little hamburger joint across the street from Paramount Studios. I show the place and rave about it in the 'Food & Beverage Section' toward the bottom of <a href="http://stephentmccarthysstuffs.blogspot.com/2011/08/my-homemegalopolis-los-angeles-and-me_2308.html" rel="nofollow">THIS BLOG BIT</a>.<br /><br />I don't know how far you live from Paramount Studios, and I don't know if the O' Rings are like they were back in the late 1970s and early '80s, but I can tell you that back then actors and actresses would go on their lunch or dinner breaks to the place just to get the O' Rings. The rest of their food was just average but their Onion Rings were OUT OF THIS WORLD (pun intended) and I ate them often.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.

For that reason I mostly review books, music, and movies that I already own or have gotten through distributors like Netflix. A new Chik-a-Filet just opened a couple miles from where I live. No nearby Sonics that I know of but there are some within at least 10 miles from me.<br /><br />Susan GK-- Habit is primarily West Coast though not exclusively. I prefer to do reviews where there are only a few, but sometimes I feel compelled to do them where there are already many others.<br /><br />Rob-- Always good to hear from you my friend.
