This Chain's BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Has A Familiar Flavor Boost That Makes It A Customer Favorite

The secret to a good barbecue bacon cheeseburger hinges on the quality of ingredients and maintaining a thoughtful balance between the different flavors and textures. A number of popular fast food chains offer a barbecue bacon cheeseburger on the menu, but not all of them are exactly alike. Of all the varieties available, Tasting Table determined that Habit Burger & Grill's is a cut above, due in large part to the chain's method of cooking its burgers over an open flame.

Habit's BBQ Bacon Char Burger was listed among the chain restaurants with the best barbecue cheeseburgers, according to reviews. The flame-grilled taste of this Char Burger — a signature of all Habit's burgers — makes it an optimal patty for a barbecue bacon cheeseburger. Additionally, this fast food offering manages to effortlessly shine through the bevy of bacon, barbecue sauce, melty cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, and crispy onions (called "tanglers") included in the sandwich.

Although the BBQ Bacon Char Burger ranked low in Tasting Table's assessment of all the Char Burgers at Habit Burger & Grill, it's certainly beloved by burger fans. "The Habit is underrated," exclaimed one Redditor about the brand. Of the familiar flame-cooked taste, another Reddit commenter enthuses, "Habit is pretty great, really. Good char on their grilled burgers."

Habit's carefully crafted flame-grilled Char Burgers are a signature of the chain. From its origins as a small-town burger joint to being part of a fast food empire, the purveyors of the popular patties clearly know a thing or two about building one of the best barbecue bacon cheeseburgers. Fans on social media often compare the charred taste to Burger King's famed flame-grilled Whoppers, often noting that Habit's approach is a definite improvement. As one Reddit user commented, "It had a similar (but better) flame-grilled flavor like what BK wishes [it] could do."

If you're near a Habit Burger & Grill, don't be shy about trying this cheeseburger for yourself. Get a side of tempura green beans, sweet potato fries, or onion rings to accompany your meal. That said, since Habit is a smaller chain than most, primarily located on either U.S. coast and originating in California, this might make it somewhat more difficult to try if you're located in the American Midwest.

Taking a few notes from Habit's menu, you can always try preparing your own flame-grilled barbecue bacon cheeseburger at home. Try matching your cooking method as close to the chain to replicate the charred flavor as well as piling on the toppings. Doing so just might become a "habit" for your own homemade burgers.
