Jack In the Box

This place is horrible no one answers the phone ever plus they let a whole bunch of Vaca high kids roaming around the parking lot and they don’t let people park. One day something tragic will happen

Instead of a meal, she charged me individually and instead of upgrading the stuffed jalapeños, I ended up paying for them separately. If I knew, I wouldn’t have bothered. It’s not about the couple of dollars she jipped me, it’s the principle. Thanks.

I can understand the lack of reviews. I will never go back. Went in and was greeted with what do you want. The portobello burger, response was sold out, what else do you want. I departed. Too many restaurants in this town to deal with this.

Jack in the Box is generally my favorite Burger behind, #1 Buds Burger in Vallejo and #2 In n Out Napa. But today Jack fell to an all time low when I found a kind black hair in my medium size soda. I like the ice and when I finish the soda I take of the top and eat the ice, but low and behold here is this hair, no telling what other ingredients when into my burger and fries. So bye bye Jack.

I make it a general rule NOT to review fast food spots… Let’s be real, there isn’t anything new that anyone can really add to junk food journalism that the majority of people haven’t written in a review or don’t already know.
Jack in the Box (Well, 97% of most «fat food» places actually.)
1. Cheap — Just about everyone has a Value Menu nowadays.
2. Mediocre service — Well, whata’ya expect from teenagers making minimum wage?
2. Quick — Generally 10 to 15 min wait.
3. Fillers — Meat substitutes and other stuff (Explains the $ 1 «hamburger.»)
4. Sh*tty for ya’ — Take a look around next time, how many people are ordering salads and aren’t pushing the 200 pound waistline?
(‘And technically, that’s where my review could end.) The only variations are color scheme and the «Movie of the Month,» kid’s meal toy.
Fast Food Mecca —
However, it is Vacaville and avoiding fast food & chain restaurants here is like jumping in a pool and trying to stay dry… «They’re everywhere!» The fast food joints per square mile is out of control. WTH, are they competing with Fairfield for the title of «Fat Food Capital» in Northern California? I’ve never seen rats dropping dead from high cholesterol and heart disease before. I’m not the healthiest person, I’m hapa — Filipino, Korean, German & Irish, with a couple of other things. The o’hana from Hawai’i, originally from the PI. (Philippine Islands) Translation: Oil, fat, and pork are the basic three food groups… Oh, add two more to that list, Vienna Sausage and SPAM, the Hawaiian Meatloaf. So, if I’m saying, «Holy crap that’s a lot of fast food, THAT’S A LOT OF FAST FOOD!!» I don’t mind McD’s once in a while but when the place is saturated, with places high in saturated fat, there needs to be an intervention. It’s no wonder there’s a lot of medical facilities around here… It’s to battle all the heart disease in the area.
«Yes sir, not to worry… Your extra large, value meal comes with one free AED shock in case you have a heart attack. ‘Would you like a hot apple pie with that?»
I’ve heard from a number of people that Jack in the Box makes some amazing tacos. I’ve tried them a few times before & I’d have to agree, «They are amazingly bad.» A question to all my JiTB, taco toting friends, «Are YOU on crack?!» (However, if you knew any of my friends, that sort’ve questioning wouldn’t be too far out of line.) ‘Not a fan of a tortilla filled, grease pod.

Bacon Cheddar Wedges — «M’eh…»; waste $

Stuffed Jalapeños — Okay; used to be spicier

I’ve been to this particular location a few times and like most fast food spots, «Plastic Bag,» status. It’s functional, serves a purpose, and nothing too exciting… ‘Just like a plastic bag. (‘And disposable.)
«WHAT THE HELL… ‘Apéno Burger?!»
Ladies & gentlemen, we have peppers & poppers… ‘All under one bun.
«Yes, please… ‘Extra brimstone.»

The Hella-​peño Burger Munchie Meal (Served after 9pm)

«Peppers & Poppers,» sounds like an 80’s rap & dance crew!
The reason I started coming by «The Box,» more often lately is due to their fairly new Hell’apéno Burger… A spicy cardiac arrest, munchie meal! It’s not bad if you like something with a kick and don’t care about your heart, blood pressure, and/​or have no self respect.
Verdict: «It’s purdy good!»
‘And all you spicy food eaters out there know the ol’ saying, «It’s all fun & games until the day after… ‘Then, it’s peppers & POOPERS. — «Brace yourself!»
The service @ the drive-​thru is as expected, on par with the Plastic Bag status as well.
1. «Hello, welcome to Jack in the Box, can I take your order.»
2. Place order
3. Pay; «Would you like any hot sauce or ketchup?»
4. End
