Jack in the Box

It’s Jacks at its best. Clean, well lit, looks like it is new or remodeled. Friendly fast staff. Open 24 hours 7 days a week. Has all the usual suspects on the menu. If you’re looking for fast food late at night, this place is clean and feels safe.

So this place has SERIOUSLY LOST ITS TOUCH. I went to this jack on market street maybe around 945pm-​10pm 4÷14÷2014. Had 3 chicken sammiches with tomatoes. Two with Swiss and one with yellow cheese, along with two big cheeseburgers. My boyfriend ordered while I was in the car, as he drops me off home, I eat my sandwich and notice my big cheeseburger has a blond streak of hair on it. I have black hair. I called, and whoever management is at night, seriously has no commitment for it. I’ve never seen such poor management. Especially from a manager at night, or whoever that light skin guy was. I am a local, and I will now be heading out to city college as I said, this jack has lost its touch. Hope you guys get it together.

Guys, jbx is not the best food in the world and the service is usually spotty at best but let me tell you, the location on Market in Sherman Heights is the bomb dot gov! Granted it was 10:30 at night and no one else was in the drive thru but it was the quickest service ever! And we ordered $ 22 worth of food. I don’t know if you’re familiar with Jack’s but $ 22 is a lot of food. Both the cashier and the guy who handed us our bags were super nice, gave us LOTS of ranch, and LOTS of napkins (always a good thing from fast food). Everything was fresh, hot fast. Everything you want from fast food late at night.
Thanks Jbx we’ll be back.
Ps. For the first time we didn’t have to repeat every single item in our order in the drive thru. That’s a star right there!

I mostly stick to the drive thru with this jack because the outside (and sometimes inside) is littered with disgruntled people. They’re open late and the manager always seems to be in the window when I go. He’s nice and even gave me a free coke once to make up for a mistake he had made. Oh I also won a contest (concert tickets) from jack with this drive thru so that’s always cool!

Fast food in general is horrible, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Was starved they were open and I had to settle. Almost puked out the food I ate. Horrible horrible horrible. Sticking to mom and pop shops. Franchise/​corporate companies are horrible yet people continue patronizing them. We need to stop and support the people that show the love of the are in cooking.

Boy am I mad at you, Jack. I rarely eat at your tidy little house on Market Street, but like every other red-​blooded American I get the occasional craving for bag full of processed food too. So when these cravings climb the ladder and go from want, to what I need, I expect you to bring it with the consistency and fast food quality, (whatever that is), that I have known and loved since my childhood. Unfortunately, you recently fell short.
I was starving. Beyond starving. Adding to this, I was admittedly cranky after three straight meetings leaving absolutely no time for a proper sit down. Drive-​through to the rescue, right? Wrong! The line was wrapped around the small parking lot but hey, it’s Jack In The Box, they’ll move quickly and it will all be worth it in the end. One car advances, then two and the first menu is in sight. The third car makes its way and I’m on deck. Burger salvation is so close I can taste it!
Knock, knock, (on my window).
«Please drive forward we can’t serve you right now.»
«Ummm… whaaattt?»
«Drive forward and through the exit, we can’t take your order right now, come back later.»
«But I’ve been waiting in this line for almost ten minutes.»
«Sorry sir, come back later.»
Out of fairness I have had some solid four-​star experiences here, but this was a dismal one-​star without question — for that I default to a two. A brief explanation and a little common courtesy could have gone a long way with this Jack’d up situation, but it didn’t happen on this day. Breakin’ my little burger lovin’ heart, Jack.

Every time I come to this jack, they always forget part of my order or don’t give me a utensil. Me and my friend just order two bacon cheddar potato wedges and received 1 fork and asked for hotsauce and ketchup. How could you only put one in and still not give me the sauce packets I asked for?! Get it together!

So yesterday while on my 30 minute lunch I came here and cheated. I ordered a jumbo jack combo with no mayo because I like to add their packets of secret sauce. So I get back to work and start to take apart the bread to squirt some secret sauce and there was a freakin piece of hair stuck in the cheese! GROSS! I ended up finding another strand well done stuck to the patty. Seriously if you have long hair wear a freakin net! So I ended up not eating my lunch *duh* I called them, they apologized and offered a free meal but I honestly don’t even want to come back to this location. If you can’t do a simple sanitary thing like keeping your hair away then how do I know you’re not washing your hands or following other food safety protocols? I took a picture of the hair with my camera phone.

I just ate here. this place I used to come here back in the days a lot. this place is extremely shiesty! I ordered 2 chicken sandwiches with cheese. Looked like my cheese was microwaved. my lettuce wasn’t even fresh. maybe it’s the spot of the business. idk but I was so not pleased with place !!! This jack in the box sucks !!!

This is one of the better Jack in the Box restaurants I’ve been too. The service is great and the management seems to really care. They’re also quick and efficient (drive thru, I’ve never been inside). The food is just like any other jack in the box– the cooks don’t seem to rush through the order either which is nice for presentation.

Very clean location. Plenty of seating and the line moved fast. I love the tacos here and the taco sauce is in a basket so I don’t have to ask for it and am able to grab a bunch.

No

There’s not many redeeming qualities when it comes to JIB. Even for fast food, it tastes pretty terrible and definitely not a place I go when I get the fast-​food-​craving. BUT, their oreo shake (and seasonal pumpkin pie shake) are pretty amazing. Unlike many fast food shakes, JIB’s oreo shake is actually super thick and chunky. You don’t get jipped on oreo pieces and the pumpkin pie shake actually tastes like it should (and not that artificial… although the best pumpkin shake I’ve ever had is from Mr. Frosties in PB!)

Jack in the Box designed to match the historic look of the Sherman Heights Historic Community. It also has an upscaled interior and outside seating– same Jack Food.

Jack in The Box drive thru open 24 hours on New Year Eve! OHHH YEAH!
As their sign states, «hunger has no curfew» and it sure did not! Breakfast Jack and orange juice, thanks for being my first meal of 2012.

Not sure what to say about a Jack… Jack food, Jack prices… No need to write a novel on a fast food joint that is on par. Grab a quick bite and go!

The drive thru staff is always nice and on point. I was happy to see the hound black man become a supervisor because even though it is jbx he takes his job seriously and has great customer service.

Um… it’s Jack in the Box, what do you want me to say? I was hungry and its near my house. Although I must say it does not look like you’re average Jack In the Box. It looks like a cute little house on the corner. I think I drove by it a few times before I realized what it was.

Ms. Margot informs me that it is National Cheeseburger Day… so in a celebratory and festive mood I make my way to the nearest dispensary of burger sandwiches
It is not without a small degree of nostalgia as I do so, for the late autumn evening evokes memories of an earlier time, when such evenings would be highlighted by the flavor of a Sourdough Jack– it’s griddled bread exterior serving host to a savory cheese product topped meat patty; further augmented by the salty-​smoky sting of crisped bacon.
This years celebration was a smash! A festival to honor the greatest of all culinary creations while at the same time a celebration of that path of life I have chosen; those vicissitudes of circumstance which have led me to my current situation (and happen to have included over the years a fair quantity of Sourdough Jack Burgers.) A celebration for today– and a nod to the past, all in one environmentally responsible recycled paper package
I would like to thank Juan at the window. and Maria at the register for allowing this day to come to fruition. Thank you, Jack for creating this wonderful product to sustain me over the years… and thank you Margot for calling my attention to the very fact that this otherwise uneventful Saturday evening was indeed… National Cheeseburger Day
So then it is with a satiated appetite I contemplate these festivities, and with a marked calender I eagerly await the coming year and all the opportunities for delicious celebration it shall bring forth, bun… patty… cheese and pickles eagerly forthcoming

Free Grilled Sammie w/​purchase of a large drink/​milkshake?! Okay. I bite.
Haven’t been to a Jack in the Box in some time, however every now and then I get a little hankering for a their scarily tasty cat food tacos (2 for .99 cents is a KILLER deal especially if you ask for them to add EXTRA lettuce!) So me and the beau head on down to our neighboring Jack in the Crack for a taste of this grilled sammie…
Line was loooong, but it went fast! I was in line all of 3 minutes even though there were about 4 groups in front of me. Cashier was competent (which, I’m sorry. I hardly expect from hardly any fast food place.) Food came out quick! (I filled up my LARGE soda and waited about 2 more minutes.) I could tell these workers were well prepared for a bunch of crazy hungry people looking for a freebie! Way to go guys, you done good!
Me and the boyfriend paid seperately and they on accidently didn’t give him his sandwich free, but the manager was quick to correct this, so no issue there. When we got our food we sat down at a wrapping paper covered table (smart idea for easy clean up. I’m liking these peeps more and more. Seriously innovative!)
I unwrap my sammie (I got the turkey bacon & cheddar sans the sundried tomato sauce) my BF got the Deli Trio. Kay. here is the ticker… Don’t give me a free GRILLED sandwich and allow it to be soggy. I totally get that you guys are busy. But the only point of you guys giving away these sandwiches is to introduce it to your menu and let people try it out. If I try it and it’s not good. I’m not going to buy it again. Got it? It’s all good though, I wrapped it back up. Took it home, tossed it on the skillet and grilled it up myself. It was good. Cheesy, bacon-​ey, and crispy! (The way it should have been from the start!)
Anyway, my BF really liked his Deli Trio Grilled Sandwich. said the pickles really completed it! (His was well grilled!) As for the rest of the food. Well like I said. Cat Food Taco’s call my name when ever I get close enough to the entrance of a JITB.
One last thing, the cashier had come out to clean up some tables and actually stopped by our table and asked if everything was good for us… This has never and I mean NEVER happened to me at a fast food place. It usually like once you get your food you don’t exist to the joint. But he actually came over to make sure we were good. I didn’t bother telling him about the sandwich only cuz I was so shocked that he asked in the first place. Serious kudos to that kid!
It’s fast food, it does it’s job and sometimes even though I shame myself for saying it. It just really hits the spot. Thank you Jack in the Box, I won’t be back anytime soon. However, you will see me again!

Wow Ethan, Unilocal Elite really seem to fall asleep at the wheel lately. I guess it’s like a prostitute who’s just going through the motions. Nah I got way more love for sex workers.
This Jack in the Box is EPIC, and I risk a lot* saying that. This is the neck of the funnel where alllllllll the clubbers come after getting out at 2. Get your meal, and pray you can accurately determine how many orders of (5) churros you’re going to need before you park on the other side of the drive thru with the lights off and your peepers ON.
Prepare the dashboard for possible soda spit with a makeshift napkin tablecloth, it’s gonna be a wet one.
