And by god was it absolutely terrible. New restaurant, clean on the inside, tried 3 different things and I have to wonder, does anyone actually like jack-in-the-box? How are they still in business?

    It helps to first be higher than giraffe pussy, then you get one of their late night munchie boxes (I like the burger with grilled cheeses for buns, or the chicken melt with hashbrowns on it) and several extra shitty tacos.

    Where else can I get a burger, tacos, egg rolls, and churros at 3am on a Thursday night after closing down the bars?

    I feel the same way with every fast food place i’ve ever been. Why would anyone eat at McDonald’s, when it’s not like some weird emergency where nothing else is open and you’re starving. KFC is weird and greasy, they don’t even try to make it look like food. Burger king is the same as McDonald’s but their burger have a weird artificial smoke flavour which makes it even worse.

    Ugh, sorry to say I do like it. Maybe my brain is kind of filling in the flavor gaps from when I used to eat it as a teenager. I’ll admit the quality has gone down but that’s true of almost every fast food restaurant. My go-to items are the meat lovers burrito, spicy chicken sandwich, ultimate cheeseburger, sourdough jack, and their tacos. Their whole menu is pretty damn fatty so if that’s a turn off don’t bother trying anything else.

    Here’s my Jack-in-the-box story: In high school, Jack-in-the-box was just opening in our town for the first time. My friend group used to go there for the $1 Jumbo Jack. It was a first taste of adult freedom. Positive memories haha

    Ah yes, gag in the bag. 😃 For some reason I kinda like their “buttery jack”, it’s just disgusting enough to hit the spot sometimes.
