And by god was it absolutely terrible. New restaurant, clean on the inside, tried 3 different things and I have to wonder, does anyone actually like jack-in-the-box? How are they still in business?
Deep. Fried. Tacos.
With American cheese.
2 for a dollar.
Only really good after midnight or the day after… But they are amazing during the right timeframe.
Are they still two for a dollar?
Probably closer to 1.99 now. Was 3 for a dollar in the 90s.
It’s been years, but I remember the magic.
Oh that’s nasty.
It helps to first be higher than giraffe pussy, then you get one of their late night munchie boxes (I like the burger with grilled cheeses for buns, or the chicken melt with hashbrowns on it) and several extra shitty tacos.

I LOVE Jack-In-The-Box for what it is! It’s for sure bottom-tier fast food, but for what you’re paying, they make a damn good basic cheeseburger. I find the Jumbo Jack to be way better than whatever Wendy’s calls their basic burger. At least at my particular local Jack’s, the lettuce and tomato are always super fresh and crisp, surprising for a low-tier fast food joint. The Jack’s in my neighborhood have long standing deal with the local sports team where if they hit a home run in a game, everyone in the city gets a free burger the next day!
I mean, it’s not great, but it’s not that awful. Pretty good for ending a night out and it’s cheap.
Is Wendy’s better? Yes, but go to a Wendy’s at 2am trying to gullet a Dave’s Double and you’re going to be sick. Jack has burgers that won’t upset your stomach and don’t sit as heavy.
My digestive organs, for the past several hours, have been ceaselessly screaming bloody murder at me. You must have an iron gut

Huh… I never heard that before! Neat. It reminded me of Chipotle. They had that badddd year back in 2015 where it felt like every store had either E. Coli, or Norovirus.
Yep, so their solution was not to cook in stores anymore, making the food taste like the shit reheated crap it was, making me not go there anymore. Ever. Used to eat there minimum once a week cause it was close to work.
I’ll never understand how making your product demonstrably worse is seen as a good business move.
McDonald’s: here’s your burger, your drink, your napkins, your bag, your hand wipes, your silverware, and your kitchen sink.
Jack-In-The-Box: Hold out your hand (dumps burger condiments into hand)
Me: Um…napkins?
JITB: (sigh) Fiiine. (Pulls out emergency napkin)
Jack in the Box has a lot of commercials geared towards stoners for a reason :) Tis best enjoyed after a sesh… I need to be high to enjoy the yack.
We always called it Yack in the Box, or eColi+.
When I’m in the mood for trash at 1am I get a buttery Jack and onion rings. Their onion rings are actually incredible.
You need to be ordering the tacos. Cheesy meatpaste tacos. They’re amazing, cheap, and come in groups of 2. I recommend getting 4 for one person if that’s all you’re eating as there’s not much to them.
Man now I want tacos.
Back in the day they used to have a bruschetta chicken ciabatta sandwich that was heavenly. I miss it.
Ah yes, gag in the bag. 😃 For some reason I kinda like their “buttery jack”, it’s just disgusting enough to hit the spot sometimes.
Is it like Waffle House?
Ugh, sorry to say I do like it. Maybe my brain is kind of filling in the flavor gaps from when I used to eat it as a teenager. I’ll admit the quality has gone down but that’s true of almost every fast food restaurant. My go-to items are the meat lovers burrito, spicy chicken sandwich, ultimate cheeseburger, sourdough jack, and their tacos. Their whole menu is pretty damn fatty so if that’s a turn off don’t bother trying anything else.
Jack in the box is guaranteed diarrhea. It’s so bad. Just a testament to how good a marketing campaign can be. Carries such a bad product.
Can’t say I’ve got that but my body is warning me about something. Projectile vomit or heart attack maybe
