"I will never order from the Habit again. What was once a family favorite is now just awful. Their portion sizes have gone down by a significant amount, but the prices have gone up. They have completely changed the lettuce wrap to a measly piece of wilted lettuce. The Santa Barbara Cobb was ridiculously small. I actually had to use my own lettuce at home to make the salad even edible. The habit has lost all of its reasons for a top ranking. Never again, shame on you!!!!!"
"Idk what happen to habit! but these patties are not the same as they used to be. For a $10+ burger, I'd expect at least a 1/4 not a 1/10 tiny patty the size of the sauce lid.. basically a slider we got here."

"I ordered the bbq chicken BBQ Ranch Chicken Salad. There was very little lettuce in it, and no crispy onion strings.

"First and foremost I want to thank whoever it was who made my PORTOBELLA SANDWICH this evening 09/20/26. I've been eating this sandwich for years and it's by far the best I've ever had. The taste was fresh and unique with a savory mushroom right in the middle. The portion was good and they always deliver on consistency. I'll be continuing to order this sandwich unless they change in the future. The HUMMUS was great for it's price!"
"i love this place. The menu seems to be a good balance of health-conscious choices and flavor with excellent value for your dollar. I asked the age-old question, "How much does $50 get me?" and the Natural Cafe did not disappoint. got tons of extra pesto, cheese for a dollar extra each for two huge trays of pasta and salad. bread incuded, too. If you wanna feed a family cheaply but not feel like you're eating cheap food, get this PRIMO PESTO - MEAL DEAL"

"I absolutely love this restaurant! I have tried a good majority of the pastas, salads and sandwiches and they have all been delicious!! Some of my favorite dishes are the Santa Barbara Spicy Shrimp Pasta, the Chipotle Penne Chicken Pasta, and the Blackened Chicken Caesar salad. I would say this is definitely one of if not THE best place to get pasta in town! My only critique would be their garlic bread could be improved and could be a bit bigger portion.

"So overrated! For 25bucks you get soggy empanadas and they give you a mini cup of the sauce which was fine by the time I had 3 of them. Extra will cost you more. Also, it says it serves 2 - my hubby and I were not full after eating 3 empanadas each. It's a light snack at best. "
