I like Habits alot. But they are never crowded. Which is a pro and a con. I feel like everything is good enough but most things could be better. I feel like the place is a little dirty in general. They have a ton of kitsch on the walls and around the place which gathers crud. Its pretty dark in here - I think if it was bright it would look even worse. My biggest complaint is the food. Its ok, but nothing special. Id love to see them redesign the menu. Not many beers on tap. Maybe 4-6? and lots of stuff in bottle and cans. I suspect some of it is getting old. And they are frequently out of stuff.

Overall, not a very good experience. The kitchen appeared to be overwhelmed, as one of the entrées was delivered cold and a second was not prepared per the request. By the time the corrected dishes arrived, the other diner was finished. This was after finding that the "Todays Draughts" whiteboard hadnt been updated, so no a favorite IPA listed hadnt been available for days. Good server, but never saw any manager working the floor. Overall, not good.

Got a burger and my date got the Fish and chips. The burger was nothing that exciting and the fish and chips was average. The food was hot and fresh out the kitchen which is always a great attribute. The service was nice and responsive to our needs. The outside dining area was well maintained and clean. Beer selection was nice size. I enjoyed my time but maybe cut the prices of the food down a smidgen. Youre not getting what you paid for.

This place used to be good but after a year I guess it went downhill we came in after reading the reviews thinking maybe they are not add bad as everyone is saying now but nope their feature is the potato rags and they used to be so good but now its like they are not made fresh the steak hoagie was bad and the food made me sick needles to say this is one place we will never return to ever this place is terrible

Great burgers (Im a particularly fond of the Godzilla Burger), a good beer, liquor, wine selection, and a bunch of local specialty types of appetizers... I suggest the mozzarella sticks wrapped with pepperoni deep fried in wonton wrappers (like egg rolls). They also have pool tables, dart boards, and sports on the TVs. Sunday brunch, too.

The food here is nothing special but that is not why I go here. While Habits doesnt have a huge selection of draft beers what it does have are usually pretty good. It also has a pretty good selection of beers in can/bottles which are often the specials. The bartenders are always attentive and willing to answer your questions.

This is a perfect place for a relaxed meal. Half bar/half resteraunt - the food is great and the atmosphere is fun. The prices are very reasonable and some people claim they have the best burgers in town. Its also located in an excellent neighborhood with great locations within walking distance - like Aglamesis Ice Cream.

Really nice place and exceptionally close to my home, so I walk there all the time. The problem is that the food is great, but service is spotty. Some days you can go in there and get a great meal and service and other days youre waving someone down to acknowledge your table. I hope they become more consistent.

Awful service. After waiting 40 minutes for my fish and chips and seeing that the table behind me was already served in about 15 minutes I cancelled my order. The bartender was rude and followed me around like I was going to run off without paying my tab. They also charged my credit card twice. Never again.

Phone it in pub food. I suspect the locals have rated it so highly simply because it is their favorite watering hole. Pretentious menu items like ostrich burgers sound great in theory but Im pretty sure its above their station and ability when a grilled cheese isnt even melted. Would not return or recommend.

As far as brunch goes, youre much better off going to to keystone. Both places youll get a $14 pitcher of mimosas-however at keystone youll get a full bottle of champagne in your pitcher, whereas at habits youll get 90% orange juice. Not to mention half the menu size and slow as molasses service.

Worst service. Cant believe they could ever get return customers with this service. By far the worst customer service I have ever experienced at a restaurant. It took an hour to get my and my sons lunch when there were about 5 other people in the restaurant. You couldnt pay me to return here.

Phenomenal! Came here for the sweet potato fries... Ended up so satisfied with the sweets with apple butter and an Ostrich Burger. Plenty of parking around the establishment. Awesome staff. Quiet and quaint. Love it will most definitely cone again... Oh yea and the prices perfect.

Wonderful outdoor patio for the summer time. Cozy feeling inside with wide variety American menu. Everything from fish and chips to Reubens there is something for everyone. Not a dive or a ritzy place, just cool pub to visit for a relaxing night of drinks and a bite to eat.

Overall this place has some really great food (wings, big easy burger, and sweet potato fries) however the service has really bogged down the last couple of months. Dont go if youre in a hurry! Otherwise sit back and enjoy one of their many great bites and brews!

Bar food, beer and coffee, outdoor seating and standard local indoor bar - I had a side of onion rings and two beers. They had Rhinegeist on tap. Nothing overwhelmingly spectacular but definitely a cool place to be a regular at. The bartender was welcoming.

Rustic feel, open room without feeling compressed. Relaxed seating. Not to mention a good sized bar and wine selection and unique choices for food. Like, Ive never been to a place that serves regular, turkey, ostrich, and garden burgers l.

Just OK in my book. The burgers are definitely enjoyable but Im always a little let down by their food considering the price. I always end up back, though, since its an enjoyable drinking spot with Sunday Ticket.

Cool menu with lots of fun options for your burger but ours were both way overcooked. I would think a burger restaurant would have cooks who can make a burger properly but apparently they only do well-done

Potato rags are very good. Ostrich burger and club sandwich are good. Above the standard bar fare you might expect. Tables are extremely small and arent intended for groups of three or more.

Live local music (open mic) on Sunday night... out-freakin-standing. I didnt know this was going on when I arrived, but, I enjoyed it so much I stayed until 2am... worth it... trust me.

Chewy fish, with my fish and chips. Took 40 minutes to get food with only 5 tables occupied in the whole place. Dirty, dingy , and dated restaurant. Wont be coming back.

Love this place! The staff is wonderful, the atmosphere is great, and most of all, the coffee and menu is delicious. Check it out and find out for yourself!

The service was painfully slow but the food was pretty basic and good. A little over priced but it figures for the area. Overall its good but not great.
