How to get a free Double Char at NJ Habit Burger locations

If you enjoy delicious food and getting things for free, you’re going to want to know about this.

Habit Burger & Grill is giving away free burgers at locations throughout New Jersey on Saturday, Aug. 22. And yes, I said free.

There is, however, a catch.

The deal

You have to be one of the first 50 customers at a participating New Jersey location. The restaurants open at 10:30 a.m., so if you’re serious about getting your hands on one, I wouldn’t recommend strolling in at lunchtime and expecting one to be waiting for you.

The giveaway is for Habit’s Double Char, a charburger which comes with two chargrilled beef patties, caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo on a toasted bun.

The why

Why is Habit giving these away? The chain was recently named USA TODAY’s No. 1 Burger in America for the third consecutive year, as well as the #1 Fast Casual Restaurant for the second year in a row.

And Habit Burger has been around a lot longer than you might think.

The history

The company got its start in Santa Barbara, California, in 1969. It eventually grew from a small California burger operation into a national chain. Yum! Brands, the company behind Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut, acquired Habit in 2020.

So mark Aug. 22 on your calendar.

And set the alarm.

Because there are only 50 free burgers per participating location, and I have a feeling New Jersey is going to be hungry that day.
