IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — When guests ask, Habit answers. Thanks to overwhelming demand, Habit is bringing back its fan-favorite Gotta Habit Meal Deals. Three craveable meals made with fresh ingredients, a side, and a drink, all at a price that proves great food doesn’t have to come with compromises.
At a time when many restaurants are cutting corners or raising prices, Habit is staying true to what it does best. Every $6, $8, and $10 Gotta Habit Meal Deal is made to order with fresh, quality ingredients, featuring a generous half portion of one of Habit’s signature sandwiches, paired with a side and a drink. Don’t let the word “half” fool you. These meals deliver full flavor and serious satisfaction.
“Gotta Habit Meal Deals keep coming back because they deliver real value without sacrificing quality,” said Chef Jason Triail, Director of Culinary Innovation at Habit. “From hand-filleted chicken and chargrilled beef to avocados mashed fresh in-house and crisp produce, these meals bring bold flavor at prices our guests can feel good about.”
The Gotta Habit Meal Deals include:
$6 Meal Deal
½ BBQ Chicken sandwich with hand-filleted chicken breast, melted cheese, caramelized onions, shredded lettuce, fresh tomato, mayo, and BBQ sauce on grilled sourdough. Served with a choice of side and a regular fountain drink.
$8 Meal Deal
