Jack in the Box

Don’t go here at night on a weekday or your food will be cold.
Get your shit together Jack in the box.
P. s. & you forgot a medium regular fry.

I want to say that this was horrible but it wasn’t. That said, it was far from wonderful.
The dining room is far too small, and the tables are close to each other. I ended up moving from the table where my buddy sat, and sat at the counter.
I ordered the Grilled Breakfast Sandwich. This is possibly my favorite item at JiTB. The combo is expensive, especially since I want Orange Juice instead of coffee. Without the combo, it was more reasonable, but of course, no potatoes.
Service was friendly, and the restroom was narrow but reasonably clean.

Just left this place and there was 4 cars ahead of me. I’m like cook I’ll get some fresh food or at least fries… Nope got to the window I opened my bag and I had shriveled up fries. I knocked on the window handed the lady my fries and said can I have fresh fries. She quickly handed me some new fries. It is not cool now restaurants think they can do this. The fries were old and cold… Check your fries

I like to order their snacks, however this will be the last time I’ll buy food from there. Today I ordered the ten piece nuggets and opened to find that one of them was bitten off. I was disgusted.

I’m sorry to say I won’t be back. I got food poisoning from this Jack in the Box and was violently ill for two days. I made a complaint to the guest relations, and they actually called me and talked to me about what happened and apologized. They also sent me an apology letter in the mail along with two complimentary combo meals. It was appreciated but I won’t use them. Five stars for customer service, one star for this jack in the Box.

I love Jack in the Box for a late night snack or for travel snacks. I always get bacon cheddar wedges, egg rolls, and coffee or an oreo shake. Every Jack in the Box I have ever been to has executed my order perfectly. However, this location consistently fails to make it at an edible level.
My wedges and egg roll are always over fried, and taste like burnt oil. I was receive some minuscule amount of cheese that doesn’t even begin to cover one wedge, and then the bacon is thrown on top of that cheese.
I contacted Jack in the Box about my terrible experience and they’re only reply was that they were sorry it happened. There wasn’t any indication that they were going to retrain employees or make any changes in the restaurant. There wasn’t even a consolation offered for multiple trips without being able to eat my food because of the quality.
I won’t be back ever again. I was really hoping it was just a fluke, but it clearly isn’t. Everything down to management at this location is terrible.

It’s my favorite fast food in Merced. People are friendly and quick.

It seems to be a fair deal.

Over-​all Score: ⁴⁴⁄₅₀
This place is pretty good. Not much to complain about.

Jack’s is our go to spot for after hours junk food. Greasy food after a long night of barhopping in Downtown Merced is the perfect night cap. Best thing about Jack in the Box is that they serve breakfast all day, no questions asked. Another plus about this place is that it’s open 24-​hours unlike the Sonic on Main St… where else can you get jalapeño poppers at 2am besides Jack’s? Nowhere in Merced, that’s for damn sure. There’s usually a line of cars in the wee hours of the morning on the weekends so be aware of that.

The drive thru lady gets your order right and the drive thru man is a lazy bum and doesn’t give you everything you order…

I’m a fan of their Taco’s, some breakfast items and a few sides… The last visit proved that their Chicken Fajita Pita’s are smaller than they have ever been. But the staf is pretty nice. Just wish more of them spoke clearer english.

I want to give this place 5 stars on good days, and 1 star on bad days, and by that I mean their foods day not my emotion lol. This place CAN make really good fresh fries and sandwiches/​tacos but it varies day to day. Sometimes you get cold curly fries, sometimes you get ones right out of the fryer. Its a roll of the dice. I mean the food itself when it’s prepared well, well I love jack in the box so theres that… But as you know when fries sit for a while they just taste like grease in the shape of a stick/​curly. Give it a go! No guarantees though.

Food was OK but too slow.

You know, sometimes you have to give credit where credit is due.
Jack-​the-​box for instance, is without question a grease pit. Posterchild of the fat food threat that we are so quick to blame for our own personal fatitude. Sure, they offer such artery clogging delicacies like the bacon ultimate cheeseburger and the nauseating breakfast bowl, but they have one thing other restaurant chains don’t.

Where else can you dare to order tacos and a teriyaki bowl with a side of fries and oreo cream shake? And when its 2 am, and the party you were at just got rolled, where else can you get a steak and the disguise of a hamburger? Where else, can you get bacon cheddar fries and a mother f*****n fruit cup in less than ten minutes.
No other fast food restaurant has the audacity and the reliability that Jack in Box does. THAT, I think, deserves some respect.
