Most Recent Reviews
Another successful Habit trip for my sensitive celiac. This time got SB Cobb. Can’t do fries unfortunately. The staff understood gluten intolerances and celiacs basics. No issues.
Celiac safe menu guide helped a lot! The manager was new and hadn’t helped a celiac before but all went great. We got the SB Cobb plus the Ahi tuna (no sauce except tarter) in a lettuce wrap. No issues for my sensitive celiac.
Stopped there in a drive home from Southern California- I had a lettuce wrap with cheese. I did not get sick. They took my order in person instead of using ordering screen.

Not a separate fryer. They have lettuce wrapped options but don't take precautions like other burger places such as In n Out.
I ate lunch there on October 21, 2024. Asked if they had a dedicated fryer for the fries. The order taker said Yes. Ordered lettuce wrap hamburger and fries. I had no other food that whole day, except known food at home. I received gluten poisoning. Recommend not eating their fries. Otherwise the food and service was good.
Chicken Caesar salad, no croutons. Very tasty
Had a great lettuce wrap with no issues! However the fries definitely had me feeling like a little cross contamination might have happened.
They are very careful about gluten allergy if you tell them they will lettuce wrap your burger for you.
No GF buns but they do offer lettuce wraps instead. Staff seemed knowledgeable about what GF meant.
Ordered delivery from here bc they had gf buns, was a bad experience. Messed up toppings on all burgers in the order and my bun really did not seem gf so I had to eat my pretty mid burger without it
The food is very good and if you have a gluten intolerance that is not hyper-sensitive, their sourdough bread may be OK for you. I took the chance and had no problems
The website lists the chicken patty’s as gluten free however they are marinated in teriyaki sauce i ate them and got sick wasn’t sure why I got sick but found out the next day they are marinated
Knowledgeable staff and will note down allergy when ordering a lettuce wrap, if you mention it. Be careful with their ranch! They happen to use of the only brands that contain gluten.
Burger meat is 100% beef, served in lettuce with cheese, bacon and tomato. Fries gluten free cooked in separate fryer. Helpful staff who also provided pouch ketchup, gluten free by ingredient. Very tasty.
They have improved. I have not been sick if I stick to lettuce wrap, NO grilled onions and NO fries or anything from fryer. But good to get a burger or chicken sndwich!
I had the grilled chicken Lettuce wrap. It was very good. Service was great.
I used to work at this location, I often got free meals however I would get sick every single time. They have multiple different fryers but only use one/two of them so there fross contamination. Even with salads I would get sick as none of them change their gloves, even if you ask/specify you have an allergy or are celiac. I was told they were too busy to change their gloves when I asked.
The menu list items that are celiac friendly and foods to avoid. They were happy to offer a lettuce wrap or vol for your burger or chicken .
No dedicated gluten free menu. No gluten free bread or buns. One start minus.
Lettuce-wrapped burgers, amazing hand-made shakes, salads, and sundaes are available.

Their website said that they had gluten free french fries but when I got there, they said that they didn't have them gluten free and the staff could give me no information about cross contamination in anything. I did not get anything because I didn't trust it, but as far as I could tell it didn't seem very celiac friendly.
I went to the habit burger grill with my family and it was awesome both my mom and sister have celiac so we got them a lettuce wrap and they both said it tastes like a real burger bun and the food really tasty but don’t get the fries if you have a gluten sensitivity or celiac because they cook it in the same fryer as a bunch of other things so I would avoid them due to cross contamination overall great experience!!
Wonderful experience, manager had milkshake equipment cleaned for my daughter. Burgers/ chicken can be done with lettuce wrap and salad options as well.
Ordered the tenderloin as an add on to a salad, took one bite & tased what tasted like teriyaki. Immediately called the restaurant, and asked if it was marinated in teriyaki or soy sauce & if it was gluten-free… I was assured it was safe. So against my better decision-making I took another bite. It definitely tasted like teriyaki so I spit it out regardless of the assurance. Well I got sick anyway. It’s definitely not gluten-free. After the fact, I looked it up online and found that out. I know it’s a pain in the ass to research every bit of food you order online beforehand, but it seems necessary due to the ignorance of food allergies with food workers.
Burgers were wrapped in lettuce. No other measures taken.
I loved their salad 🥗
Helpful management and good & tasty salad options. Very knowledgeable about allergies and menu options to accommodate various restrictions. Be aware — has a common fryer.
Were aware of possibility but had few evident procedures in place to avoid cross-contamination
All burger patties and tuna and grilled chicken sandwiches available gluten free (NOT fried chicken or tri-tip) if ordered lettuce-wrapped or bunless. The fries are in shared fryers :(
Generally helpful, careful about Coronavirus. The burgers were well seasoned and assembled well, in a tray so as to avoid a mess.
Staff was knowledgeable, asked if they could prepare gluten free...yes, lettuce wraps. Knew that fries are cooked in same oil as onion rings.
I’ve gotten glutened by cross contamination the last three times I’ve eaten here. I get the lettuce wrap and don’t get anything from the frier. The lady that took my order most recently was really knowledgeable and super good about alerting the line staff to change their gloves, but I got sick within about half an hour. They try, but they don’t quite get there.
The staff understood Celiac and cross contamination. They flagged my food as a gluten allergy and cleaned prep space, laid down paper and changed gloves. I had a great lettuce wrapped burger!
On their website you can download the Gluten-Free/Celiac Info. Went here Wednesday night for the first time. The manager at this location was aware of procedures for preparing gluten-free food and told me they will clean the countertop where they prepared the food. I didn't watch them as they prepared my food because it was so busy that evening, line was out the door, and I wanted to eat there and get a table. I ordered lettuce wrap chicken breast with avocado and other toppings from the Gluten-free menu. The chicken was so tender and juicy. I did not get sick at all. Will be returning to try other gluten-free items.
The staff helped me navigate the allergen menu. They have wraps for their burgers. Not sure on cc but I’d assume it’s not safe if you’re sensitive. They have salads and lettuce wraps. BBQ is gf.
The staff is friendly, but does not take food allergies seriously at all. Every time we have ordered from them, they somehow forget to exclude any gluten. Even after being told it’s an allergy, they still don’t take the exclusions seriously. I’ve seen them make the order, the person at the window check it, tell them they need to take out whatever item, and the cook’s solution is to simply just pick off whatever isn’t supposed to be there, then hand it back. I’ve even brought it up to the manager and his cook’s have still not corrected this error.
NO GLUTEN FREE ANYTHING HERE! :(
Fries contain wheat not celiac safe or even gluten free
We didn't eat here after checking the nutritional info. Burgers are available lettuce wrapped. French fries and sweet potato fries contain wheat.
They didn’t have a gluten free bun available, only a lettuce wrap. Neither of the people we spoke to really understood the concept of a shared frier, but once I explained it they informed me that it was not gluten free. Can’t speak to the cross contamination or anything because I didn’t feel comfortable eating here and hate lettuce wraps.
They did NOT have gluten free buns. Only lettuce wraps. I went across the parking lot to pieology, for a gf pizza.
I checked it out and decided not to eat there. There's no statement about allergy-friendly food prep on the menu or the website. I didn't want to have to make special requests (please use a different surface, change your gloves, etc). Plus there's no GF fryer, so no GF fries to eat with your burger.
I went there and both the person taking orders and the manager said they did not have anything gluten-free and everything contained gluten.
The fries are definitely NOT cooked in a separate gluten free fryer. I called several locations and they all stated the fries are NOT cooked in a dedicated GF fryer. Hence, not gluten free. Still go to The Habit and get the burger in lettuce and bring my own GF bun.
Changes gloves before my order. My dad is highly sensitive to any contamination and we have eaten here many times with no issues! Great for a quick, tasty burger on a lettuce wrap!
I've had two experiences here since on my celiac journey. First had crumbs on my salad but they quickly and kindly corrected it and took the extra step to educate the staff to do their best not to cross contaminate. Today, noticed a grilled onion in my salad so I'm weary but so far so good. The websites allergy list is helpful and the managers/staff cares if you let them know you have wheat issues.
this place is hit and miss. I've had safe lettuce wraps and cross contaminated. the fries are sometimes in a dedicated fryer and sometimes not, but the worst is when none of the staff can answer this question.
Acceptable options on the menu include optional lettuce wraps and salads.
Dedicated friers and really tasty patties!
Burgers are gluten free with a lettuce wrap bun and they taste really good.
Bring your own bun or do a lettuce wrap
Only can get a lettuce wrap burger, but that's even sketchy as the staff didn't seam to really get what gluten-free means.
Not aware of cross contamination, fries aren't gluten free. Don't eat here.
Has lettuce wraps for burgers and sweet potatoes fries!
Contrary to what the person reviewing this ace said, they DO NOT use a Celiac Safe dedicated fryer for their fries. They fry all gluten and non gluten products in it.
Also- they don't have gluten free buns.
The counter is better and and Celiac safe.
This particular location does not have dedicated fryers. They were not very patient or hospitable to my GF needs.
Great burgers
So tasty! They're not very knowledgeable yet, but my husband and I are working on that. You can have burgers or sandwiches wrapped in lettuce. They're fries are fried in one fryer, the onion rings in a second, and the chicken in a third. They're fries remind me of Wendy's fries, but better! The staff are really nice, but they're don't have an actual GF Menu. I'm hoping to change that, however. It's right next to the Pei Wei and Costa Vida, and just down the street from Chik-Fil-A and Carl's Jr.
They will make fries for you in a separate fryer. Also will put any burger in a lettuce wrap. Salads pretty good. They seem helpful and not as clueless as some.
