Jack in the Box

Two of my three eggrolls were well done and so oily I spit them out. One was too burnt to attempt eating at all. I suspect they were thrown in the fryer earlier and refied before they were given to me. They gave us regular fries instead of the curly fries we ordered. We also received regular monster tacos instead of the bacon ranch monster tacos that were ordered. Funny thing is, they got the order right on the screen but somewhere between inputting it on the register and putting the correct food in the bag, things went south. We actually noticed the mix up while still at the window. Unfortunately the lady who was at the window felt it best to debate about the mix up rather than fix it. We said screw this, not worth it and drove off with what we received of our order. Do yourself a favor and find yourself somewhere else to eat.

This Jack In The Box is mediocre, at best… I’ve had dealings with them before, and every single time I give ‘em a go, they screw up an order one way or another.
On 7 October 2012, I stopped in because I hadn’t eaten anything all day… I figured it’s close, it’s decent, why not? Well, now I remember. So one of my kids and my wife get their chicken strips and fries, all is hot and correct… peachy. I reach in and grab my sourdough jack… cold as a flippin’ hockey puck, and about as stiff as one! I mean, the meat was «cooked» but the cheese hadn’t melted even remotely… just how long did this thing sit there?
Needless to say, I went back and requested a new one… now, I’m not sure they actually made a new one, it resembled the complaint specimen and was barely much warmer, but it WAS warmer so I ate it.
The only reason you get a second star out of this is because you made any attempt at all to make it right, and because your staff was decent… but rest assured, I’m done with your particular store. At least the one in Mount Vernon and the one off Cook Road near Sedro-​Woolley serve consistently hot food.

How the hell do you make a palatable $ 0.69 taco? It’s a deal with devil. They didn’t learn how to make it taste great, they just learned how to turn a profit without turning my stomach. It’s not bad with some gas station beer.
The sourdough jack aint half bad either. The new metal décor adds an industrial quality.

Jack in the Boxes are either really good or really bad. This one is pretty bad. The fries were cold, the tacos dried out, and my hamburger meat in my burger was chewy. Yuck!

Ahhhh, Jack me buck-​o, you kill me with your «real» ice cream shakes!
Darn fine food, I mean for a fast food biz.
Staff is a bit slow, speed-​wise and mentally…
