Though Habit Burger is typically thought of as a West Coast thing, the California-based burger chain has made its way over to this side of the nation over the last couple of years. I recently visited the Habit Burger location in Union to sample their signature offerings—including none other than the famous char-broiled hamburgers. Read on for details on the mouth-watering Charburger, juicy Chicken Sandwich, and crispy Chicken Tenders.
Charburger With Cheese: A Masterclass in Flavor
The Charburger is Habit Burger’s crown jewel, and for good reason. This expertly crafted burger boasts a perfectly toasted bun, crispy lettuce, thin-sliced tomato, and a generous slice of melted American cheese. But the true star of the show is the patty itself—a beautifully charred, flame-broiled masterpiece that’s cooked to order.
Each bite is a harmonious balance of flavors and textures, with the slight crunch of the char giving way to a juicy, pink interior. The beef is never overpowered by the toppings, and the subtle sweetness of the bun provides a delightful contrast. This is a burger that’s greater than the sum of its parts—a true masterclass in flavor and technique. It’s a reminder of what fast food burgers used to taste like. Total nostalgia.
Chicken Sandwich: A Surprisingly Strong Contender
While the Charburger is undoubtedly the main event, the Chicken Sandwich is a surprisingly strong contender. Featuring a tender, hand-breaded filet topped with lettuce, tomato, and mayo on a soft bun, this sandwich is a masterclass in restraint. Habit Burger resists the temptation to over-accessorize, allowing the quality of the chicken to shine through.
And shine it does—the filet is cooked to a golden brown perfection, with a satisfying crunch giving way to a juicy interior. The lettuce and tomato add a welcome freshness, while the mayo provides a subtle creaminess. This is a chicken sandwich that’s confident in its simplicity, and it pays off in spades.
Chicken Fingers: A Kid-Friendly Delight
But what about the kids? Habit Burger’s Chicken Fingers are a veritable crowd-pleaser, with tender, hand-breaded strips served with a side of tangy dipping sauce. The chicken is cooked to a golden brown perfection, with a satisfying crunch giving way to a juicy interior.
The portion size is generous, making this a great option for even the most discerning young eaters. And with a side of Habit Burger’s signature fries or a fresh salad, this is a meal that’s sure to please even the pickiest of eaters.
Habit Burger’s Union location is a must-visit for anyone in the area. The Charburger is a game-changer, with its perfectly balanced flavors and expertly cooked patty. The Chicken Sandwich is a surprisingly strong contender, with its tender filet and subtle toppings. And the Chicken Fingers are a kid-friendly delight, with their tender strips and tangy dipping sauce.
