Jack in the Box

i love jack on the box. i eat at jack in the box. on n. second st. in elcajon ca. a lot. very friendly and helpful and clean. for 14 years. all smiles. :-) :-).

Two tacos .99 cent now that worth 4 stars
Alway a fast drive thru. Also breakfast was good

Oh my good, bad bad place I asked for a sandwich without bacon for two times and they give me a Bacon Sandwich !!! what a horrible resturant to spend your money

If you want rude and obnoxious. Downright poor service. Un-​professional management. And employees that call you an asshole, bendeto, and tell you they can do what they want because they can’t get fired, go to this jack in the box definitely.
I complained to jack in the box corporate office and was told this is a «franchise» store and the owners are allowed to run their stores how they want. That corporate has no control over how he operates his business.
I gave them I one star because there was no option for negative stars.
Hey I guess this jack in the box proves two things.
1.) given the right amount of money anyone can buy a jack in the box franchise.
2.) there’s a job for everyone somewhere.
You know I expected more, way more, from jack in the box.
I’ll never go to this location again. Sad part is the owner does t care, he always thinks he’ll just get more new customers.
Jack in the box corporate are you that desperate for money!!!

I upped my stars solely because of the oh so delicious buttery jack.
If you like bums, crackheads, and weirdos, you should eat here every night. The basketball diaries of fast food… I’m sure I’ll be back though.

Best place in town for a senior coffee! Staff is always friendly even when they have to top off a traveler!

I couldn’t help myself. I had to come in and try their new cronuts, so I did and along with it, I had a cup of coffee and a breakfast Jack.
The breakfast Jack was good as usual and govern by health code regulation the yolk was over hard (
). For .99 cents, it’s hard to beat this breakfast item. I picked up a single cinnamon sugar cronut for .89 cents, and full of sugar and cinnamon it came (
). Although the cronut tasted good, it did not have that light and airy texture that most do. It may of been to its smaller size, but it was very moist inside (
). All in all, not a bad cronut for a fast food chain.
Some of the individual who hang out, outside at this location can be a little sketchy, but the service inside was nice and friendly. The Hispanic lady who took my order had a good sense of humor, by in large because she laughed at my jokes.

I do eat here once in a while because I work nearby. The food is typical jack in the box food. The service is typical jack in the box service. So. why one star you ask? Go ahead. ask… I’ll wait. OK. Unless you are a homeless meth addict you may want to avoid this particular JITB. There is always a hand full of «them» loitering around inside and out. I’ve seen cars pull through the parking lot to «transact business» and if any of «them» are inside, the whole place stinks like ass, I always sit so I can see my car in the parking lot. If I was not a rather large individual, i would not come here at all. But its close and the food is decent. Even though they screwed up my order today as well. I’m sure if I had ordered in Spanish, it would have come out perfect. sin pepinillos favor!

Close to my house and convenient. Haven’t had any problems with service or them getting my order wrong.
As with any fast food restaurant, some of the patrons can be unsavory but have never had an issue with anyone.
Try the egg rolls, they are surprisingly good.

I will NEVER eat this location again. Jack in the Box as a whole is a great fast food place. But this particular site I will never be returning to.
So I’m enjoying my breakfast jack. Mmmm pretty good. I get about half way through and chew on something relatively an inch long that is hard (ish). At first I think: «no big deal the sides of the eggs get burnt easily and often have that crusty stuff on them. But a chomp or two more, and I spit it out… IT’S AN APPLE STEM!!! WTF???
There aren’t even apples ANYWHERE on their menu! wtf??? Some guy came in, ate and apple, and then cooked my breakfast jack??? Even still! HOW?! How did an apple stem get in my egg??? it was fully cooked into the egg not even just lying on top of it. COOKED into the middle of the egg. Where the heck does an apple stem come from at Jack in the Box!!!
So I call the manager and she basically just didn’t give one shit. «Your cooks need review as there was an apple stem in my egg.» I say to her. She replies: «Ummmmmm ok?» WOW. just wow. gross! and she doesn’t give a crap that she’s feeding this poor excuse for food to customers!
PLEASE VOID THIS REVIEW FOR OTHER JACK IN THE BOX LOCATIONS

It’s unfortunate that this Jacks surroundings has a lot of negativity; a bar filled with drunks next door & an abundant amount of regular homeless can all escalate to bigger problems.
But! I wish people could oversee that, and focus on the hard working employees there. Majority are women who take pride in their jobs. Imagine having to deal with what they have to deal with on a daily basis. It’s not easy haha. They still manage to smile, give the best customer service, accurate food & provide a clean dining room. But I can assure you thank yous at this Jack can go a long way. This is certainly the best Jack in town.

Homeless guys are back, the customer service is gone and the quality has receded…
I stood there for over 5 minutes while the order taker had a conversation in Spanish with another person on my side of the counter. I did not get acknowledged… No thank you, no hello, no customer service at all… no napkin on the freakin tray — NADA! This place has fell to an all time low…

This branch is similar to the rest: consistent food, fairly fast service, and friendly service.

slower then a snail!
and stingy, i asked for an extra creamer and no :(
i would come often since i work nearby but i think ill take my moneys else where!
ps a lot of crackheads hang out here. or look a likes.

Goodbye to pumpkin pie shakes… see you next fall!!!

I used to drive here when I worked in El Cajon because there’s only so far you can go on a 30 minute break.
Convenient yes, but seriously everytime I came here, there was so sort of drama. I drove here on the way home at 11:30pm for fries when a homeless guy taps on my window as I’m driving away. SCARY man. I’m a single female driving alone at night in El Cajon. leave me alone!
Another time I came here, I got stuck in the drive-​through lane with a car in front of me and a car in back of me when we all got blocked in because a bunch of cop cars and ambulances arrive for god knows what. Meanwhile. me only having a 30 minute lunch break, it took me the whole 30 minutes to get out of there, so no lunch for me that day.
No I’m not bitter.

This is the King of Jack in the Box’s. Strategically located in the heart of El Cajon right next to the Carousel, now known as the Caddy Shack, this Jack in the Box meets and exceeds all Jack in the Box requirements.
