Jack In The Box

We finally found a Jack in the Box in Colorado!
But every time we come here We always have to wait like 15 minutes before we get our food. wtf

Love this place. However make sure that you go after they get there truck as they run out of curly fries and potato wedges a lot.

Ive never encountered a more rude drive thru person before i liked stopping here often on my way home from work but i don’t think I’ll be back i don’t know why your rushing people at 430 am and the kicker she screwed up my order and didn’t give me a chance to ask for ketchup or anything just tossed me my bag and shut the window

This place is a good spot for late night junk food. It’s also supposed to be fast food joint, but every time I wait in line for 10 plus minutes. This place needs to work on new management and hiring the right employees, they all look like they’re fresh out of halfway houses.

How can a fast food establishment that actually has a decent product NOT HAVE WIFI available. I had a business meeting planned there this morning… and NOT WIFI… We moved the meeting and WILL NOT RETURN!

Yuck! I asked for no bacon and it looks like someone picked the bacon off my turkey and cheese panini. Ick!

Great tacos and the jalapeño poppers are fantastic. So glad they built a JITB here in Arvada. I’m hoping it does not go under like the one near Flatirons. Love me some monster tacos.

For fast food it isn’t that bad. I have been on the subway kick lately though. Good food though and decent staff.

I almost never eat at Jack in the Box, and today I was reminded why. The curly fries were old and cold, and some were double cooked, making them taste burnt. There were also a bunch of regular fries in there that shouldn’t have been.
The swiss and grilled onion burger was disgusting! I’m not sure the swiss cheese was real cheese, as it turned this translucent color on the parts of the burger that were hot. Sadly, that was only the edges; the rest of the patty was cold, dry and flavorless.
There were exactly THREE pieces of grilled onion on the burger and they had no flavor whatsoever.
Jalapeño poppers were like $ 2.29 for three tiny pieces. The breading was disgusting, but the inside tasted pretty good. But only three? Sad …
Oh, and my diet coke tasted just fine. ;-)

I decided to make a quick stop here because I was starving and hadn’t eaten all day, and I was poor since I just dropped a ton of cash buying a new battery for my car. I have to say the food was just what I needed. Just enough grease to make me happy, the bacon wasn’t overdone, and the bacon cheddar wedges were fantastic. I had the Jr Bacon Cheeseburger, cheddar wedges and a glass of water all for around $ 5. Really, who can ask for more? Oh, and they taste better than Mcdonalds and I left feeling more satisfied. I’ll definitely be back.

Going through the drive through they screw up your order and they do the same when you eat inside. Don’t expect to get what you want.

The entrance to the restaurant is a tad annoying as it involves driving down an extra street and then up and around, and then zig-​zagging through a maze, and finally a gauntlet filled with rings of fire and alligators which matters when one is rushing into work but wants to test fate and take extreme risks the way I do. So I tried Jack in the Box for the first time despite Short Round telling me «go go go.» I saw all the red in the sign and figured it’d be like Red Robin, and saw the name Jack in the sign and thought it’d be cool like Captain Jack Sparrow. But it wasn’t all like cool and I was sad.
I told the squawk box that I was new and trying to figure out what I wanted. I was reassured to take my time and ask if I had any questions. So that was a definite plus! But then I tried to let my eyes roam the menu and promptly got lost. The food stye seems to be this odd mix of American and fake Mexican, with an attempt of avant garde thrown in and a ton of grease seasoning on top of everything. I finally settled on the Swiss Onion Burger and curly fries and was instructed to dive headfirst off a tall cliff and snatch the food from a flying bird. No, I was told to drive up to the window.
It looked like there was some sort of informal competition among the tribe as to who got to have the window seat. I was visited by three separate employees; one took my money and made change, another double checked that I wanted what I had ordered, and a third handed me my food. A fourth apparently wasn’t fierce enough to challenge for the spot, as she had to hand off the oreo shake (I had hoped to get through this without mentioning the oreo shake. I don’t want to become a fat person! But I make poor decisions sometimes, i.e. review: Jack in the Box).
The FOOD! The curly fries were lukewarm although I won’t detract because I forgot to specifically ask for «hot.» The shake came with a straw that I called my spoon while the burger was… The burger was kinda… Umm… It sucked. Big and clunky and greasy and meat that just didn’t taste all that good. I was very hungry and in desperate measures so I managed to force down half, which was more than enough to cause a very upset cramping stomach for the next five hours. Five hours!
So to conclude, I was definitely unpleasantly surprised by Jack in the Box’s very scary approach to claiming fast food as «good food.»

Unfortunately, Jack in the Box has disappeared from the greater Chicagoland area but when I’m out and about in other parts of the U, S and A I do my damnedest to get to a location for my fix. I usually get the same thing which is a Sourdough Jack, curly fries, two tacos and close to a half-​gallon of pop. Go big or go to the gym. Does that last sentence even make sense. I dunno.
Either way, this location was clean enough meaning that their wasn’t any vomit all over the place which meets or exceeds my standards. And their dining room is open 24 hours. So if you stop by around 11:46p.m. and feel like sitting down inside you’re more than welcome to. You may have to rub elbows with the know-​it-​all high school kids that tend to gather in these types of places around these times.
Helpful tip: Don’t order a Sourdough Jack to go and then put the bag right by the AC vent on the floor of the passenger side for around 30 minutes. It magically makes it no longer taste good.

I find their food is usually hit or miss. The tacos aren’t as good as I remember, but they’re ok. The mini churros are pretty good, and I like that they have a filled center. When I order their raspberry iced tea, I have to get it with half the usual amount of raspberry syrup, otherwise it’s way too sweet. The deli trio is a good sandwich, but sometimes it comes out way too buttered and greasy. This location is pretty new and still nice. There’s a fireplace inside, which is pretty cool. And there are kiosks which you can order from. I actually liked those because I could see what I was getting and how much the upcharges would be.

I got the egg and sausage burrito this morning that wasn’t very good. the sausage was hard. and i had the worst stomach ache. My stomach started rumbling and I ran to the bathroom and started puking. Disgusting.

Ew.
Seriously, I couldn’t even finish the «meal» I purchased. The «meat» was even more processed than McDonald’s. The fries were so overseasoned that I couldn’t eat them either. The grease was unbelievable. I don’t consider myself a fan of fast food, but there was this «hype» surrounding «Jack in the Box.»
Much like the «In n Out» hype… and I was disappointed with In n Out too.
So take of it what you will… I’ll be over at Smashburger…

Seriously, people. ⁴⁄₅ stars for this place? I’m a fast food lover, but this place is disgusting.
I had vague memories of my last Crap in a Box encounter a few years ago but decided to give it a shot today. I got a Sirloinburger combo. First of all, no wonder our country is so damned fat. That burger is huge. I ordered the medium, thinking it was the smallest option (I don’t think it was). HUGE drink, huge fries. $ 7.34. Ouch.
The curly fries were surprisingly good, hence the two stars. They were crispy and flavorful and not too salty. But the burger… gross. Seriously gross. The toppings were good, pickles were good, lots of onions… but you can taste the low quality meat in the burger. Real, good quality meat doesn’t need a lot of seasoning in it to make it tasty. Real meat is tasty enough, and I like to taste it, not the shit that was ground into that nasty cat-​food burger.
So I went to their website to see what seasonings they use in their shitburger. I found plenty of boasts about their «high-​quality ingredients» and notes that the sirloin burger is made with «100% pure sirloin.» Then I checked the ingredients… artificial CRAP. You’re using «high-​quality ingredients” — let them shine, don’t try to cover them up with artificial seasonings and salt and butter flavoring and «topical seasoning» mixes and God knows what all.
Needless to say, I will not be back. I should have driven a little further for Griff’s.

First of all I am one of those weird people that enjoy ordering food off of one of those touch screen devices that Arby’s used to have. I felt that this way of ordering food was the future of all fast food restaurants, nay, the future of all restaurants. I felt like George Jetson or Buck Rogers. Take your pick. However, old people couldn’t really get their heads around this bit of technology and Arby’s quickly got rid of it. Thanks old people!
Imagine my surprise when I saw a similar device at Jack In The Box! My friends decided to actually place their orders with the human behind the counter. Not me. It was time to play Johnny Future again. Yes, I am easily thrilled.
I got my food pretty damn quick.
It was hot.
It was as I ordered.
It was good!
What more can you ask for from a fast food place?
The fourth star is simply for the awesomeness of any place that has Fanta Strawberry soda as a fountain drink. I haven’t been this surprised by a beverage selection since I saw Caffeine Free Diet Coke at a Chi-​Fil-​A!

Since we were in the neighborhood after much driving around Lakewood and Colorado Mills, we decide to have a late lunch break and decide to go to Jack In The Box (2^nd Visit) for some fast food galore.
This time around we ordered:
* 1 Ultimate (No# 4)
* 1 Large Curly Fries
* 1 Onion Rings
* 1 Fish Pita Snack
* 1 Steak Pita Snack
* 1 Set of 10 Mini Churros
* 2 Tacos
Hubs finished the Ultimate Burger # 4 and Fries. I ate some of my order of Curly Fries and Onions Rings. I did finished the Steak Pita Snack. Decide to bring back the portions of the rest of the food home.
I like…

I love Jack in the Box and am so glad to have found one here in CO (possibly the only one?) AND it’s like 2 exits from home, yay!
The food was familiar, greasy and fantastic. They have added curly fries to their repetoire, which are not of the same caliber and fantasticness of Arby’s, but are still pretty darn good. I love the gooey fake-​cheese-​awesomeness of the cheddar bacon wedges. And, if you’re going to get a sandwich, it MUST be on the cibatta bread. The chicken brushetta one is my favorite.
If you are a CO native and have not experienced the Jack in the Box (lovingly referred to as «Grease on the Box» and «Crap in a Sack») I highly recommend it. Sonic, Carl’s, etc. they don’t even compare.
