Jack In The Box

Today my mom decided to grab a quick breakfast. We were appalled to see worker outside cleaning windows with another young man smoking a cigarette just 10 feet from the drive-​thru window. That’s disgusting. Smoke was blowing into our car and into the drive-​thru window. The man was around his late 20’s training a younger man. He had a cigarette in his mouth and didn’t care who saw. What does that show about their food preparation, which we don’t see? That’s absolutely disgusting, even for Jack in the Box.

They were swamped with drive-​through orders on Saturday night, so there was a little bit of a wait to get a cashier at the stand to take our order. The cashier though was engaging, friendly, and on top of things. I wish I had gotten his name so I can commend him for his great customer service. This location has a Coca Cola Freestyle so you can have a custom soda with your order.
While the drive through is open 24 hours, the eat-​in restaurant is open until midnight on Saturday. Definitely a good place for your late night eats.
P. S. Their seasonal peppermint oreo shake is amazing!

I don’t normally review fast food joints, mostly because they’re all pretty similar unless one is really really good, or really really bad. This is the first. Frank Thompson was the guy who was at the counter, and I don’t know if he’s a manager or just a worker, but he’s the most up-​beat, energetic fast food worker I’ve ever seen. Extremely quick, professional, and so enthusiastic. There is a lot of debate over wages for fast food workers, and this type of worker is the only one that I would say deserves a raise.
Oh and the food was good as well.

I am appreciative that they’re open 24/​7, so that is why 2 stars were earned. I went on the late night and the food was all super old and room temperature. The jalapeño poppers were so old, the cheese had turned to the rubbery form. On the bright side, the cashier kid was really nice so I’m going to give him credit. He did give a disclaimer that he was really tired and apologized that he wasn’t all the way on point and since he made a couple small errors (forgetting that I just wanted the sandwich and not the meal and loading my drink with ice when I said no ice) I did have to take one star away. Since they were the only restaurant in the area open on the late night and the service was fast and friendly, I had to give 2 stars. My tip is to count on your microwave at home for your re-​heatables.

This jack in the box may be the closest from me, but it’s not even worth it. The people who work in the drive through are never nice. Ever. And the worst part about the experience is the wait. It doesn’t matter what time of day I go, I always seem to never get out of the drive through under 20 minutes. And when I get up to the window, I except at LEAST and ‘I’m sorry about the wait’. Nope! Just rudeness. So if you have the chance to go to another one, you probably should.

Good food, friendly people, quick service. All the things I like in a fast food place!
Very seldom have they botched my order or forgotten an item. When they do, they are quick to correct the problem.

The guys here are pretty awesome. We came in one day, and unfortunately we had forgotten to check the allergy info on line before we came in. The cashier was very helpful, had a pamphlet ready, and actually looked at another one as we checked ours as well, just to make sure there wasn’t anything we missed. Thanks for caring!
