We love popular menu item comebacks and ever since the beginning of June, the summer season has not had a shortage of that. The Habit Burger Grill is keeping things exciting by bringing back one of their fan favorite items. If you’re keeping count, then you would know that this is the fifth repeated return of this specialty item.
That’s right, we’re talking about The Habit Burger Grill’s French Onion Char. Habit fans have been waiting for this limited-time offer because of the way the Irvine, California-based restaurant company takes the rich and savory flavors of French onion soup and packs it all into a delicious charburger. So much so that the return of its popular French Onion Char has been a highly anticipated event.
Available now until supplies last, the French Onion Charburger is available at select Habit Burger Grill restaurants across the US. So, make sure to pay your nearest chain before this promotion ends.
Why Is the French Onion Char Burger So Special?
Director of Culinary Innovation Jason Triail says that the allure of the French Onion Char lies in its fresh ingredients and chargrilled patty layered with melty cheese, sweet caramelized onions, and two crispy onion rings. It perfectly captures the savory essence of French onion soup like no other, telling a whole story with just one bite.
The French Onion Char is a “killer burger” that reflects the brand’s commitment to quality, as each charburger is made-to-order, grilled over an open flame, and always has that signature char that fans love. It’s a fan favorite that stands out among the brand’s signature sandwiches.

- 100% beef patty: juicy, chargrilled, and cooked-to-order for the perfect bite.
- French onion sauce: rich and flavorful, adding a burst of strong oniony goodness.
- Melty white American cheese: provides that awesome cheese pull.
- Crispy golden-brown onion rings: two rings that provide a satisfying crunch.
- Caramelized onions: the sweetness that adds depth of flavor.
- Shredded lettuce: brings a fresh, crisp texture.
- Sliced tomatoes: so ripe that it doubles down on the juiciness.
- Seeded bun: soft, pillowy, and holds all the amazing ingredients together.
All these make for a delicious harmony of flavors and textures that make the French Onion Char worthy of its much-awaited comeback.
Remember Habit’s Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shake?
Aside from the brand’s signature charburgers, Habit restaurants are also known for other feel-good food on their menu, such as their delicious meals, crisp salads, and creamy shakes. That brings us to another item that also recently made a worthy limited time comeback: The Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shake.
The brand offers other classic milkshake flavors like Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry among others, but no one could deny that the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shake gave a special experience due to its deep associations with childhood memories. It’s a timeless flavor that we definitely hope to see again soon.

From The Club
I know this is the fifth time the French Onion Char has made a comeback but I’ve actually never had it yet—or heard of it for that matter. It sure sounds like the best burger you could ever have but I would still have to confirm that. Considering that Globe Newswire writes about The Habit Burger Grill a lot for their award-winning charburgers, I should know about this but I don’t. I’m trying to imagine a mouthwatering burger experience that delivers the warm flavor of French Onion Soup coming from traditional French Onion Soup elements sandwiched in between a brioche bun for a convenient handheld form. I need to know if there’s a chain near me to find out how accurate of a guess I just made.
While it appears that the brand has burger chains in every state, I’ve never really noticed one around my area, which is why I’m a little oblivious to their existence. Or maybe I just haven’t been paying attention.
I do love burgers that include crispy onion rings, caramelized onions, and crisp lettuce. Those always end up being my favorite part of any sandwich. There’s just something about the crispiness of onion rings that brings a satisfying textural contrast to the entire sandwich-eating experience. Also, during my research, I noticed that the brand’s director seems to take a lot of pride in the inclusion of fresh California produce in their products, so I’d be interested to try their fresh salads. I’m also curious to see how the freshest produce of Cali makes a difference in the overall flavor profile of the famous French Onion Char Burger. With all this talk of California, I’m expecting no less than a celebration of Californian-inspired flavors. That is part of Habit’s commitment after all.
