Jack In The Box

I saw a guy walk out cursing like a sailor then hock a loogie onto the inside entrance door about five feet from where me and my old pal sat as we were eating our dollar tacos that took over 20 minutes to make. Yum!
P. S. Don’t even go close to the bathroom.

I should read the review before I come try to avoid this place lots of bad people do not even come close to the bathroom

I repeatedly said hello over the drive thru intercom about 2 mins long until magically I got a responds. I ordered a ice Mocha Coffee. I wasn’t asked what sized or if I wanted something else. I drove up the window to find your employee Zenaida talking on the phone in Spanish. She ignored me and continued to talk until her conversation was over. She then walked over to make my ice coffee which took 3secs to make! How rude, first of all. And secondly, what a waste of my time and money I spent here.

Bad environment for eating. Homeless people swarming around. It’s not like I’ve got any problem with them, but I’d like to eat my food while not watching them fight. Really filthy dirty place. Smells bad, dirty tables, messy beverage section & oily-​greasy food. Men’s restroom is out of order almost all the time (2 visits)
Do I wanna go back, most likely no

This chain does not pay attention to what they are serving… sometime I simply throw it away. The drive thru is funky, dirty, unsafe??? This staff is very replaceable!

Generally, this Jack in the Box has been pretty decent for grabbing a late night cup of joe. This time, apparently 2 coffees and an order of mini churros was too tall an order for these folks. Maybe it’s because they were having so much fun talking and giggling. Have a great time while working, no problem, but get it together because, well, you’re WORKING.
If your menu offers TWO sets of mini churros (5 or 10), how do you serve 4?! Where is the confusion?! Five is not a large quantity for anyone to mess up.
Also, when someone purchases coffee, part of the service includes cream and sugar (if they desire); customers should not have to ask for these things, we should have already been asked. Oh yeah, you know what works too? A stirrer! Heck, a plastic spork, knife-​WHATEVER.
Seriously, it’s fast food, but act like you weren’t just hired an hour before your shift began.

I am not putting any stars on here thank god that’s an option! Because once we pulled in and asked for our combos they were out of curly fries and out of regular fries! WTF?!! How do you run out of that!!! And the dude some how got mixed up and didn’t give us combos just gave us our burgers on my way home kept taking my bite of my burger while reaching for an invisible soda! My sister and I are still parched…

Used to come here for late night junk food after drinking but they are no longer open 24 hours. LAME.

EGG WHITE AND TURKEY BREAKFAST SANDWICH. ok, being that the buns touch, it sure doesn’t look like the marketing pic. i wanted to try the new «healthier» breakfast option, but didn’t remember much about it. when it came, i was disappointed it came on a hamburger bun. but that’s an easy fix.
under the hood, it had two ripe slices of tomato, egg whites, and a deli turkey slice. it tasted fine, nothing to write home about. with tomatoes, it was vaguely reminiscent of my favorite breakfast dish, EGGS FLORENTINE (to which i add CANADIAN BACON). very vaguely, lol.
it’s still kinda greasy, which is probably why it tasted ok. frankly, idk why anyone would order egg whites if they didn’t have to for health reasons. i got some hot sauce for contrast. what it really needed was some salt, some pepper, and some sourdough bread.

Worst location ever! The owner has decided that they prefer to lure the homeless for their income. Signs scream «EBT Welcome»… stands for Electronic Benefit Transfer card; Food stamps for the homeless. No other fast food joint in Santa Monica accepts the use of the EBT cards for food. Its normally in skid row you’d find an owner pandering to the homeless like this.
Don’t walk around the back or the side of this location of JITB as you’ll probably step in the outdoor bathrooms the homeless use. You’ll certainly see them sitting in all the booths inside… its like a scene out of «Walking Dead». Steer clear!

I don’t usually review fast food chains, you can assume they’re all reliably 1 or 2 stars. But I also don’t usually get violently ill off of a 99 cent menu.
When people from LA tell you NOT to eat somewhere, listen to them. I wanted to try it out of a combination of drunkenness, masochism and respect for their adorable commercials. That was a mistake.
On the other hand, if some night you’re concerned you won’t be able to vomit the liquor out of you, pick up a couple tacos here. Cheaper than ipecac.

Food is just awful. Even for a quick pick me up its so not worth it. It’s not even worthy of a purchase when you’re blacked out drunk.

Ok place to eat. A quite bit better (way better in food) then the 1 on Lincoln and Santa Monica. Few nice staff there. Others staff don’t understand English that well so makes it hard to place an order in. Quite a few homeless stand or lay around the door or parking lot. And some sit inside w/​o ordering. Once a homeless guy was sitting inside staring at us and when we finished the homeless guy went outside about a minute before we left and when we went outside the asked us for money and kindly said no then the guy started threatening us and wanted to fight me, then we went back in told the staff what was happening then I think they called the cops on that guy.

Fast service, polite, the same quality I have come to expect at Jack in The Box.
It is what it is, nothing more.
Lots of bums inside, for safety purposes I suggest the drive through. If you eat Jack In The Box sober, I ask why?
Serves its purpose as a Jack In the Box after hours

Gordon Ramsay has it wrong. The most important thing about a resturant is not a clean kitchen, great food with local produce, attentive staff e.t.c. The No1 thing restaurant should cover is having the people that take your order UNDERSTAND AND SPEAK BASIC ENGLISH.
After today it’s the last time I order from this dump, I’d rather drive the extra mile and go to santa monica where they do everything way more properly.
As to the guy who said how other people wait 1 day to go complain, well imagine this: you order your 2 teriaki chicken bowls with extra chicken. You see the bowls in the bag. However upon returning home you realize they only put a normal quantity of chicken and they didn’t even bother to cover it with sauce (see photos). What am I supposed to do, drive 5 miles at 12am to go tell them to fix it?

I stopped in here once (I admit), being all drunk still from the previous evening and was craving breakfast. The breakfast sandwich was very hot and fresh and was exactly what I ordered. I did not experience the wrong order fiasco that so many here have…
There was a lady in front of me who complained that she ordered nine tacos but one was missing. The clerk asked when this happened and she said last night. Last night? You have a food complaint and wait a whole day? So if you get your food at a restaurant w/​something missing, you pay for it, leave and come back the following day to complain??? The staff was nice and simply re-​made the whole order.

Probably one of the worst fast food restaurant I had the bad luck to stop at… Moving from europe… I had to try it… at least once… well I shouldnt have!
I got really sick after eating there… and the service was not really amazing… cant really blame them… must not be fun to work there!

Every time I go to this location, the order is wrong. To top it off, one time I waited so long in the drive through, that I actually forgot my food. I know that is my fault, but I called the place as soon as I got home and was told there was nothing to be done. This was about 5 minutes later.
I complained about this to the manager and wrote an email to their offices. The reply was something like «Gee, sorry.» No offer for a free meal. Never again!

Slightly less crackhead-​y than the one on Santa Monica and Lincoln, but still slightly crackhead-​y. The service can be slow at times, and last night they were even out of the sugar filled churros?
Everything is fried, even the tacos, and i even think they dip the teriyaki chicken bowl in the fryer just for kicks. The prices on the hamburgers are even more expensive than Carl’s Jr. Damn the sake of convenience.
The only plus side is that its right across the street from the dive bar trip, so we usually grab some fries to go along with our beer for safety reasons of course.

I have been here several times, because it is close to my work. I drive through, because that is the way I roll.
I have never ordered here without incident, it often goes something like this:
*Hello, Welcome to Jack in the Box may I take your order?
*JL* Yes, I would like a plain Jumbo Jack, a regular chocolate shake, regular coffee, slice of cheesecake, an order of jalapeño peppers and an order of cheese sticks (note order for two).
*OK, so that’s a plain jumbo Jack, chocolate cake, coff.. .
*JL* Wait, that’s a chocolate «shake» not a chocolate «cake»
* OK, That will be $.$$. Drive forward please.
Incredibly long wait.
* Here is your Regular Coke.
*JL* That, wasn’t in the order. I ordered a Regular chocolate shake. a slice of cheesecake, a regular coffee, etc. but no Coke.
*Ma’am, I didn’t get the shake.
*JL* That’s fine but could we please get one? (one is made, concessions are made on my part since my mid-​west accent sometimes does funky things to vowels, you can’t blame people for that even if you want to)
What you can blame them for is the chicken burger and cheese burger in our bag, and the missing plain Jumbo Jack. The fact I had to ask repeatedly for cream and sugar for the coffee and the fact that it was a drive through, but I spent about 20 minutes driving through. Incredible.
Work on it, J in the B.
