Jack in the Box

So: I come here almost every morning because their iced hazelnut coffee is like crack. I can’t get enough even though it isn’t made on the premises (yeah, it comes in a bag which they pour into a pitcher. Don’t judge). On a typical day, the people here are pretty fast, though you get the occasional stoner who will ask random questions like «do you want jelly» when you order a breakfast taco.
My favorite things to order here are the hash browns and curly fries. So I love potatoes, bite me. Their tacos are also little envelopes of greasy goodness after a night out. Oh and –1 star for Helga or whatever her name is for not wanting to top off my iced coffee with regular coffee. When I asked her why, she said «because we don’t want you to get sick». What even.

Its Jack in the Box. I dont know why, but I keep coming back. At this location, the employees arent quite as stupid as the other locations. The tall black guy cashier is actually pretty good at his job. Im sure he kind find a better job elsewhere. Also, it has three outlets so you can charge your phones. Most of the food here is cheap. And its conveniently located in the Hancock center so parking is not an issue.
But like most Jack in the Box locations, the food is mostly crappy, the bathrooms are disgusting, and most of the employees are retarded.

Don’t see why so many bad reviews. Just a normal Jack. Love that they have breakfast 24hrs. If you happen to like Whataburger’s BOB sandwiches, then I recommend their #27. It is very much like it and but has 2 sausages. Can’t go wrong with that and the fact that you can get them at anytime of the day makes that much better. This location is walking distance to my place, which is dangerous, but so far I have managed to refrain from frequenting too much. At least too much in my opinion. Have yet to try most of the other items here since I tend to just have my regular when I decide to be bad. The drive-​thru here has always been pretty quick.
Credit card accepted at drive-​thru. Friendly staff.

As I’ve done in the past, on rushed mornings I’ll come through this drive through for a coke and call it breakfast. The drive-​through Line looked lengthy and in the past, they’e not given me the right order, so I just parked and walked inside. Standing in line were a man, behind him a mother and daughter, and me. A lady behind the counter said «I’ll be with you in a min.’ She was busy taking drive through orders. The man left. I played with my phone, finally the woman and daughter left. I stood there a bit longer and the lady said again «I’ll be with you in a min.» I glanced at my phone and realized that in 10 mins, I’d still not placed an order and simply walked out.
The scene in the kitchen was complete chaos. There was one cook who desperately kept glancing at the screen and was literally slamming things together. The woman taking drive through orders would come out and put things in the fryer or microwave. Trying to multi task she would take orders and then when she walked back to the window try to remember them as she entered them… Also refusing to make eye contact with anyone behind the counter which had now grown to me and another man who was a bit disgruntled because he waited forever to get his quick «fast» food, and the order was wrong.
I can’t speak for customer service at any other time of day than before 8am. If you’re in a rush, this location isn’t worth waiting for.

While this location offers my lovely 100 drink option soda machine… what a beautiful thing…
The location itself is small, dingy, a little dirty. The staff were less than pleased to be working there. One actually gave me a disapproving look when I ordered just a drink. Hey chick all I want is the drink, JIB foods aren’t allowed for me right. Deal with it!
:)
This is completely different than my experiences at the JIBs in Buda abs Kyle. Much nicer people and atmosphere there.

When it’s late at night and the line for Wendy’s is super long because all the drunk UT undergrads are craving fast food, you might think: ‘let’s skip the line and go to Jack in the Box!’
Don’t do it. Your stomach and wallet will thank me later. Also, when they ask if you want toppings, tell them the opposite of what you want, because it’s what they’ll give you. Also, be sure to ask for a straw multiple times. Don’t be surprised if they fail to provide one.

my fried egg sandwich was condensed to the point that it was oozing grease, and the egg was literally MOLDY. disgusting.

I was dying of thirst stopped in and lo and behold a fancy shamzy Coke dispenser wow .as a SXSW out of towner taking pictures with the Coke machine, hmm so I just had to ask where you from? he replied «Chicago and we don’t have this type of Coke machine.»

Are you aware Austin that the posted prices are NOT the correct price you are charged for. The other morning I went to get a breakfast deal, two crescents for $ 3.00 as advertised. But they had no sausage that morning! What? its only 9am and they are out of sausage! Whatever… so I decided to get the combo for $ 3.59 they asked what I would like for a drink and I said a juice, when the total was rang up it came to $ 3.99 I noticed that I was not billed the $ 3.59 for the combo but $ 3.69 that’s ten cents over when I asked why the employee said the drink is extra! He then pointed out to the top of the menu board in small print the «combos» do not include drinks! I just think this is miss-​leading the public and we are being nickled and dimed to death! Think about it if this is happening here its happening all over the country and people are not aware of it and jack in the Box is making extra out of our ignorants.
Just thought you should know!

Why you so stoopid, stoopid? Seriously, one star bc their drive-​thru speaker automatically turns on for bikes allowing for equal opportunity disgustingness… not that I would know or anything…
