Tonight I decided to try jack-in-the-box for the first time...
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?
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.
It’s terrible unless you’re very drunk and then it’s fine.
I live across from a McD’s. There’s often a line of cars to the end of the block (it has a very limited amount of space in the parking lot). I can never understand why people still go there, much less wait in line.
Burger King is the only fast food-fast food that I eat. Quality is almost always good. And then there’s the better-in-class not-really-fast food-fast food: 5 Guys, Shake Shack (the good stuff).
You need to be ordering the tacos. Cheesy meatpaste tacos. They’re amazing, cheap, and come in groups of 2. I recommend getting 4 for one person if that’s all you’re eating as there’s not much to them.
Man now I want tacos.
Back in the day they used to have a bruschetta chicken ciabatta sandwich that was heavenly. I miss it.
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.
To be fair McDonald’s has improved a lot in some of their food. Their quarter pounders are actually pretty damn good. But Big Macs and the like are still nasty. The one time I had kfc it was dry and tasteless. Other fast food isn’t so bad though
I like the sausage egg and cheese mcmuffins, I acknowledge that they are awful, but i still always get 2 when I leave for a trip in the morning. I’ve only gotten other things a few times to try to branch out, and both times I had diarrhea that night. Coincidence? Almost certainly. Will I stop getting mcmuffins on trip mornings? Certainly not.
Jack-in-the-Box is the only place that has caused me to throw out a milkshake because it was so bad. A milkshake. Those are, what, two ingredients? Somehow they managed to fuck it up so bad, it came out nasty. I wouldn't eat there again if it was free.
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.
