The Charburger is Habit-forming
Habit Burger Grill
1801 S. Federal Highway, Delray Beach, 561-265-0934, HabitBurger.com
The first Florida outpost of this California-based, fast-casual national chain has debuted in the new Delray Place at the southeast corner of Linton Boulevard and Federal Highway.
“We selected Delray Beach as our first Florida location because it represents the type of dynamic and vibrant markets where the Habit has thrived since 1969,” says Matt Hood, chief marketing officer. “We look forward to opening additional locations in South Florida and throughout the state.”
Six renditions of the signature Charburger ($3.30-$5.95) include Teriyaki Char with grilled pineapple and the double-patty Santa Barbara with cheese and avocado on grilled sourdough.
Other char-grilled sandwiches ($4.95-$7.25) range from veggie to sushigrade, line-caught albacore tuna flown in from Fiji. Six salads ($3.95-$7.95) include barbecue chicken.
Trans-fat free french fries, onion rings and sweet potato fries ($1.95-$2.75) are cooked in soybean oil. A condiment bar includes multiple peppers. Ranch dressing is made in-house.
Lunch and dinner are served daily amid polished stone, hardwood accents, surfing paintings and a 1969 photo of the original location in Santa Barbara.
