Jack In The Box

At this particular Jack in the Box, their tacos are never very good – they do not seem to cook them at a high enough temp so they are greasy, but today was a new low. I could not even bring myself to eat it, it was so disgustingly sloppy and greasy – like health department should be called disgusting.

What I order, chicken sandwich on sourdough bread with extra tomatoes. Curly fries, and a half iced tea half lemonade…

Went there for lunch today to buy some onion rings and a side salad. The salad was disgusting it smelled horrible and the lettuce was brown. The cucumbers were old already and it was obvious they were expired. The onion rings were also old. They were hard and stiff. DO NOT COME HERE… I will be posting a pic

I like Jack In the Box, I usually have some alternation to my sandwich/​burger and they always seem to get it right. However lately I have noticed that their prices are definitely creeping up the ladder, especially with their specialty sandwiches. They are also starting to get too many items on the menu, trying to appease the masses I guess (pita bread sandwiches?).
But, still, I’m a fan, quick service and free drink refills, yeah!

Texture is an important element of a satisfying burger. Last night I was presented with a BLT cheeseburger featuring shredded lettuce. Total Fail!

This place is open 24 hours and always delivers. NO ONE can say they havent had to get a meal at odd hours of the day. This place is for those kind of situations and the service is always friendly. I dont care if its a jack in the box. The people here take pride in what they do. This 4 star review is well deserved!

Found a looong blonde hair in the middle of my chicken sandwich as I was chewing, and no it was not mine. Also I ordered loaded potato wedges specifically for the jalapeños which of course were left off of my order. I called and spoke with the «manager» and told them that they might want to tell whoever is preparing the food with long blonde hair to tie it up cause I found a hair and it was disgusting. There was a long drawn out silence on the other end, followed by «ok». That’s it.

Lots of negative reviews, but I kinda liked the joint. Typical JIB, but the chicken nuggets were better than McDonalds (well at least these were), the only thing I didn’t like was the floor being sticky as fuck, it was like walking through Mrs. Butterworth’s fucking kitchen.

Slowest drive thru ever imaginable

Oh, Jack… I’ve held off on a review for such a long time. Truth be told, I’d forgotten about our last encounter until a co-​worker brought it up just now. So a few years back, yes this was a few years ago, a lot of us ordered from jack in the box for lunch. One of my colleagues and I ordered a terriyaki chicken bowl each.
One of the girls from accounting went to pick up the order; when she returned we noticed there was only one terriyaki chicken bowl. Being the nice guy that I am, I let my co-​worker have that one; my other co-​worker was nice enough to get the other terri bowl from JitB.
The day was a super busy one so I had to have one of those working lunches :(. So I was typing and eating and fielding questions from colleagues coming into my office. Three colleagues entered my office and asked me some questions as I was shoveling some rice and chicken down my mouth, when I felt an odd texture in my mouth. It seems like the chicken was either raw or still frozen. Whatever the case, 20 minutes later I ran to the bathroom.
When I cam out my co-​worker saw me and was immediately stunned at how I looked (that bad!). He told me to go home while he covered some of my work. I went home and must’ve spent the next three hours in the bathroom. The next morning I practically had to crawl out of bed… only to make it to the bathroom again… wow, no relief!
I call the kaiser line and spoke to a nurse who advised me to get to an E.R. ASAP. I had to wait about 10 minutes before anyone could see me at the ER meanwhile I was glued to the toilet in the waiting room. 45 minutes later I was able to control my bowels long enough to stumble into see the head nurse. I’ll spare you the details; I was told I had had food poisoning and was severly dehydrated from all the puking and what not. When I got out, I wrote an e-​mail to JitB, not asking for compensation or anything simply stating that someone should look into how food is handled there and what did I get? Not a damned thing. Not a response, not an apology not even an acknowledgedment.
So for that, funk you Jack. Stay the hell back.

Absolutely. fucking. disgusting. They prepared my food (and everybody else’s when I was there) with their BARE HANDS. The fat guy was throwing trash away, not washing his hands, and proceeded to touch with his bare hands (no gloves!) the lettuce, the tomato, the buns, and the patty. He did this for several other orders. Everyone who prepared the food was doing this with their bare hands and touching other things like the trash can without washing their hands. You wouldn’t have seen this if you went through the drive-​thru.
This place should be shut down!

Total complete morons. We order a bacon egg and cheese biscuit, they give us a sausage biscuit instead. I order a cheeseburger with ketchup only, they give me a hamburger with everything on it and NO CHEESE. We order egg rolls and they don’t tell us they’re out of sweet and sour sauce until after they give us the egg rolls and we’re about to drive off. They absolutely robbed me of about ten dollars. I’ve been to jack in the box restaurants all over california and never experienced such idiocy and incompetence. Total complete MORONS!

typical jack in the box and im not going to complain, because i like it.
HOWEVER this place is incredibly slow. probably as slow as in n out burger. the problem being in n out burger usually has a drivethru of 10+ cars and an inside packed with 20+. while this jack in the box has 1 customer inside and maybe 1 at the drive thru and it just takes forever for fast food.
so. clearly the pros are it isnt crowded. parking area is empty every time i go. as is the inside of the restaurant. (in which there are actually a few places to sit. unlike the other local jitb in the area)
just dont expect FAST food from this place, thats all.
oh ps i love the sausage extreme breakfast combo.

This Jack in the Box is steller for late night food. The food is always hot and fresh. The staff is also always on top of their game. When I see friends in Hermosa and am on my way back to Manhattan beach in the wee hours of the morning, this place always delivers 100%.
It’s a little more expensive, but there is nothing open very late.
