“The Habit Burger Grill is a neighborhood establishment, and we are eager to open our doors and introduce our award-winning Charburgers to the Kent and greater Seattle areas,” said AJ Jafrey, Habit Burger developer for the Seattle area. “It is ingrained in The Habit culture to do our part to give back to the communities in which we service, and we want to celebrate our arrival by supporting just a few of the organizations around us that give back to those in need.”
The fundraising events will feature items such as The Habit Burger Grill’s award-winning Charburger, a fresh 100 percent ground beef patty chargrilled over an open flame and served with fresh tomato, caramelized onions, mayonnaise, pickle and lettuce on a toasted bun. Additional fan favorites include the Mushroom Char, Teriyaki Char, BBQ Bacon Char and Santa Barbara Style Char. Seafood lovers can enjoy the Albacore Tuna Filet, a chargrilled sandwich complete with line-caught, sushi-grade tuna steak and fixings. On the side, guests can order French fries, onion rings, sweet potato fries, tempura green beans or fresh salads accompanied by a variety of handcrafted shakes and malts. All menu items are made to order using fresh ingredients.
The Habit Burger Grill, which currently operates more than 130 restaurants across eight states, coast to coast, welcomes the 3,300 square-foot restaurant with seating for 82 inside and 30 outside to its family after more than 45 years of chargrilling.
