  • Second Habit Burger in Clovis will open late 2026 at 498 W. Shaw Ave.
  • New 2,700‑square‑foot restaurant will create about 30 jobs and boost traffic.
  • Habit Burger has been voted nation’s top fast‑food burger in USA Today awards.

A second Habit Burger & Grill — the restaurant rated by USA Today as having the nation’s best fast-food burger — will be opening in Clovis this year.

A Habit Burger spokesperson confirmed to The Fresno Bee it’s new Clovis location at 498 W. Shaw Ave., less than a mile east of Highway 168, will open in later this year.

“Southwest Clovis will embrace having their very own Habit Burger in the neighborhood,” Clovis Mayor Vong Mouanoutoua said in a statement to The Bee.

Mouanoutoua said the new restaurant under construction will span 2,700 square feet and employ about 30 people, as well as benefit nearby businesses on the Shaw Corridor from increased customer traffic.

Habit Burger was voted as having the best fast-food burger in the nation in 2024 and 2025 by readers of USA Today during the newspaper’s “10 Best” awards.

The restaurant has added several new locations in Fresno in recent years, including one at Fresno State and one on Willow Avenue, just across the street from Clovis city limits. Clovis currently has one Habit Burger on Herndon Avenue.

The new location on Shaw Avenue will take the space previously occupied by a Title Max office that closed in 2020 and left behind an empty building.

The Teriyaki Charburger is on the menu at The Habit Burger Grill. It will open its newest location in Fresno soon.
