A Burger Chain You've Probably Never Heard Of Was Just Named Best In America

The Habit Burger Grill claimed the top spot for the best-tasting burger in the country, beating out competitors like In-N-Out Burger and Five Guys Burgers and Fries.

Habit Burger was established in 1969 in Santa Barbara. After becoming well known for its signature Charburger, it began to expand in California.

When private equity firm KarpReilly LLC invested in the company in 2007, the brand began to grow even more.

By the end of 2013, Habit Burger had expanded into Arizona and Utah, according to Nation's Restaurant News. The company now has approximately 100 locations.

The chain promises 100% fresh ground beef cooked over an open flame. The signature burger is pretty classic and includes "mayonnaise, pickle, fresh tomato, lettuce and caramelized onions on a toasted bun."

Other burger toppings include bacon and mushrooms.

In addition to Charburgers, Habit Burger also offers sandwiches, including the popular fresh-grilled albacore tuna sandwich; crisp salads; and desserts including shakes, sundaes, and ice cream cones.

Nation's Restaurant News reports the company will be opening a New Jersey storefront sometime this summer, and also plans to open locations in Las Vegas and Seattle.
