Habit Burger Brings Charburgers to Ashburn Dec. 5

There's an opening date — the area's first location of California's The Habit Burger Grill will open in Ashburn Dec. 5.

This is the kick-off for the chain's expansion in the Mid-Atlantic. It's opening in Belmont Chase Commons at 19855 Belmont Chase Drive. Several additional locations are planned for the area but no specifics have been announced.

The restaurant will have seating for 86 people, as well as a patio. On the menu: charburgers (as the restaurant calls them), chicken sandwiches, tuna steak sandwiches, salads, tempura green beans and more.

The restaurant has a following among West Coast transplants, though perhaps not to the intense extent of In-N-Out devotees.
