It seems as if there have been a lot of new fast casual and fast food restaurants opening in New Jersey lately. At one time, New Jersey was known for not being too lucrative for chain restaurants, with all the thriving mom and pop local joints crowding them out. Things must have changed, though.

The latest chain to announce another New Jersey location is the Habit Burger Grill.

Habit Burger is known for its “Char” burgers, developed in Santa Barbara, California, in 1969. They also have other sandwiches like chicken, tuna, and steak, as well as salads.

Their sides include your usual suspects like French fries, sweet potato fries, and onion rings, but they also have tempura green beans which, I must admit, I’ve never heard of before.

According to a statement,

Habit Burger Grill is a high-quality tenant and a leader in the fast-casual segment,” said Ed Vasconcellos, who brokered the lease for LMC. “We are excited to add another nationally recognized concept to Hamilton Plaza. This popular chain is sure to be a hit within the local community.

Construction has not yet begun on the new restaurant and no opening date has been announced.
