"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," said Chef Jason Triail, Director of Culinary Innovation at The Habit Burger Grill. "Ojai's got a lot going for it - great art scene, awesome music festivals, and some seriously beautiful outdoors. We're excited to bring our chargrilled burgers, flavor-packed sandwiches, and the rest of our unique menu to the community. Can't wait to see everyone here!"
