Hungry Jack’s

Okay. … I went to Hungry Jacks at 1am on a Saturday morning whilst heavily drunk…
My expectations were probably effected by my state… but let’s be honest here… ITS A HUNGRY JACKS!!!
The food was exactly what I expected and whilst the guy serving us wasn’t wearing white gloves and calling me sir, he was pleasant considering the guy in the car in front of us had started screaming some racial slur from his black Benz. … any sign of humanity from the team at hj is appreciated… dealing with drunk preppy snobs all night would suck! !!!
I must have come at the wrong time as unfortunately no drug deals going on…
would I come here for a romantic dinner with the fiancé… probably not! would I come here at the early hours of the morning whilst heavily intoxicated. …MOST DEFINITELY!!!

I laugh whenever I watch spongebob working at the Krusty Krab because we can see him in the kitchen frying patties on a stove. That’s not how it’s done ’round these parts.
I wait for the kitchen staff to take my burger out of the microwave (that’s right) and move past the rowdy customers and avoid the stares of the druggies who hang around outside. The fact that the managers allow these people to hang around used to be forgivable due to the lovey retro atmosphere of the place, but since the re-​model a while back the place just looks like a run-​down chain joint.
Chips are a staple of fast food as they come with almost everything. I’m happy to say that the chips at Hungry Jack’s Claremont are perfectly salted and the right temperature for eating in. Take them home, however, and the’ll most likely be cold by the time you sit down.
The chicken burgers are bland, soggy, and unsatisfying. I almost had to check to make sure it was actually in there because I could hardly taste it.
The beef, on the other hand, was delicious and complemented well by melted cheese, bacon, and barbecue sauce. If only it wasn’t a lopsided mess by the time it was handed over to me.
The drinks are watered down and, while I generally appreciate this, it was too watery for my liking. Way too watery.
The cookies and cream storm has the classic soft-​serve flavour with cookie crumbs sprinkled on top. It’s not really worth the price, and it’s not as good as it looks. It is, however, the only food item on the menu that looks like it does in the ads.
Had they kept the retro decorations I could see myself giving this place a 2.5÷5, but as it stands I can’t go higher than a 1.5.
And the toilets take it down to a solid ¹⁄₅. Seriously, do NOT go in there.

The Hungry Jacks slogan should be ‘Hey, you gotta eat somewhere!’
This store is no exception… in an area where no parking and long waits are the norm, this is the go to place for those with low blood sugar.
Food, yes… School hang out? Seriously…

If I was giving a rating on cleanliness, I wouldn’t even click one star. This place is Filthy (and yes, I know, I put the capital letter there for a reason) so if your looking to eat in, don’t. There is rubbish on every table, thick liquids of god-​knows-​what on the floor, and melted ice-​cream or mayo on the seats. Take-​away is your best option here.
Even though the filthiness, the restaurant fit out is quite modern. So that bumps up their score. My local HJs could learn a thing or two.
As for the food, it doesn’t really change from restaurant to restaurant. It’s pretty good food but I could say that about any one. I ordered a Chicken Royale burger and a Cookies and Cream Storm and they were both up to standard.
Also, unlike some HJs, THEY GOT MY ORDER RIGHT!

Dropped in for a late night dinner after an excellent outing at the fly by night club.
The night shift need a rocket up their bums.
Terrible service. Slow, dont know how to use the till. Do they have all the novices on the same shift???
I hope we don’t get food poisoning. The fries were at least 30 minutes old. We ordered special manufacture burgers because they have about 30 old burgers an serves of onion rings in the warming station.
The terrible food just enforced why I don’t go to these places.
My tip stay away.

The amount of time I have spent in and around this Hungry Jacks on a Thursday and Sunday night after clubba would be so far beyond disturbing. Closer to depressing. Reanalyse the direction of my life sorta thing.
Yeah it’s a chain and they all sell the same food but somehow this HJs is different. Firstly if you meet a girl in clubba a swift analysis in the bright lights of HJs is always required before numbers are exchanged.
Inside the place itself is well maintained generally and has a big dining area. Although I use the term dining loosely when describing a whopper with cheese.
On the busy nights, the aforementioned Thursday and Sunday, though the place looks like a bomb hit it. Rubbish everywhere, drunks falling about. Seagulls diving like chip kamakazes. Unless you are one of the drunken crowd, it’s more painful than pulling teeth.
Other than that swift, efficient service, although they have had issues with their thick shake machine in the past. Which breaks my heart.
