US-based restaurant chain the Habit Burger Grill is expanding its existing footprint with a new drive-through location in California.  

The restaurant, known for its Charburgers cooked-to-order over an open flame, will open its doors at Ojai, Ventura County, on 17 July 2024. 

It will offer a range of dining options including dine-in, drive-through and takeout, with delivery available through The Habit Burger Grill app and third-party delivery services such as GrubHub, DoorDash, Postmates and Uber Eats. 

Located at 11560 N. Ventura Avenue, the 2,375ft² Ojai restaurant will feature a patio and provide guests with the company’s “Habit Hospitality” concept. 

Both the drive-through and restaurant with optional self-service kiosks will operate from 10:00am to 10:00pm daily. 

The Habit Burger Grill culinary innovation director and chef Jason Triail said: “The Habit Burger Grill kicked off in Santa Barbara back in ’69, so opening up just a stone’s throw from the original here in Ojai feels pretty special.

“Ojai’s got a lot going for it – great art scene, awesome music festivals and some seriously beautiful outdoors. We are excited to bring our chargrilled burgers, flavour-packed sandwiches, and the rest of our unique menu to the community.” 

To celebrate the opening, the Habit Burger Grill will hold exclusive pre-opening VIP events for its CharClub and mobile app members on 13, 15 and 16 July.

Attendance requires a CharClub membership and a VIP invitation. 

Since its inception in 1969 in Southern California, the Habit Burger Grill has built a reputation for its expansive menu that celebrates Californian-inspired flavours.  

Its menu also includes handcrafted sandwiches, salads and shakes.
