Hungry Jacks Darlington

So dropped into here on my way home from work. After a long day at work, me and my partner couldn’t be stuffed cooking so we decided Tito get take out. The first thing that struck me was the dining room, it was new and updated unlike some other stores we’ve visited. The manager was on front counter and he was fantastic. The service was fast and the burgers we got were the best!

Had a Hungry Jacks Cheeseburger Stunner Deal here once. Pretty decent and the staff weren’t too bad — somewhat polite. I do enjoy a burger from Hungry Jacks every couple of months or so and although I generally don’t go to this store, I must say that I was not disappointed with the quality of the food for the $ 5 meal.
Generally however I don’t go to this store, so I can’t pass judgement on many of the other Hungry Jacks meals as I generally go to the franchise locations that are closer to me. What I do like about this store in particular from the one time I did go there was the fact that the nutritional information was readily accessible and the store was rather clean. Newspapers were also what set this store apart as they were on the counter for people to take and read whilst they eat, whereas in other stores, they are generally on a seperate table. This could be seen as both an advantage, for ease of getting the paper, and disadvantage, in the awkwardness of returning it.

On the odd occasion I eat Hungry Jacks I want to enjoy it to the max and not think about the billions of calories I’m shovelling down my throat. Last time my boyfriend and I ordered food here we went through the drive through and then decided to stop and eat our spoils in the carpark. It was a warm day so we had the windows down. Just as we’d taken our first bites, two of the HJ’s staff came outside and stood 3 feet away from our car. From their different coloured shirts it appeared that one was a supervisor and the other was a minion. They proceeded to light up their fags and talk shit for 10 minutes, while their passive smoke came into our eating space. They were oblivious but I was so annoyed! First I don’t smoke, second I don’t want a side of smoke inhalation with my burger, thirdly go and smoke and gossip somewhere that ain’t within a metre of customers please. In a nutshell — yeah it’s a crappy fast food joint but staff behaviour still counts!
