    The fish sandwich looked nothing like the picture.. Had no flavor and tasted like it was fried in old dirty oil. Tartar sauce was watered down and flavorless. The newly brought back potato wedges were undercooked, and I was so disappointed and remembered why I stopped going to Jack in the first place years ago

    Went thru drive thru and had the worst customer service ever. All employees working at that time had bad customer service and very rude and unprofessional. One of the employees also went to the extreme to say are you talking to me 'cause we can go outside fight and as I drove away they said rude things that was unacceptable. I’m taking this complaint to corporate and above I will make sure those employees don’t make another customer go thru what they put me thru. Very disappointed with this company ….

    I eat here every once in a while when I don’t have food to eat for lunch cause it close to my job. But it seems like every time I place an online order my food is always cold and the staff is very rude. There’s this short lady I can’t tell if she’s pregnant or not but every time I go in there it just seems like she’s upset that she haves to be at work. Even when I walk in to place an order she doesn’t care that I’m ordering and proceeded to engage in conversation with another employee while they are trying to help me out. My food tasted like is was just sitting there or if it had got put back in the oil. I wouldn’t recommend no one to go there 1591 S Main St during night shift

    One fateful day in the blistering heat of mid July, roughly six years ago, I was on a roadtrip with my family to visit grandparents in Texas. Now we had been driving for some time when we came across a small band of unfamiliar fast food restaurants, and being hungry like that, we decided to stop for a bite. At Jack In The Box. Not so long story short: They forgot the cheese on my cheeseburger. It’s a CHEESEburger. I don’t ask for much. From there, it became personal, but as a mere child my hands were tied for means of retaliation for the horrendous woes done to me. Nevertheless, that day I vowed that justice would be served, and today, after many years of silent suffering and courageous toil throughout my patience, the prophecy of old has at last be fulfilled. Ahem, all this to say, one star. (PS if you didn’t read the full title for this review you should. It’s rather clever if I do say so myself and I’m quite proud of it, really.)

    I got a couple of the new limited-edition cookies. I am a baker and love trying baked goods from lots of different places. The triangle-shaped cookies looked so cute with Jack's face and there are four different faces you can acquire. I only opened one, he had sunglasses on his face. The flavor is honestly so bad I STOPPED eating it. It leads the question of who approved such a subpar product. Even my child didn't like it. They are so dry and crumbly, I hardly taste "sugar cookie," and the icing on top is some kind of fondant that you can taste the colors on. Overall I didn't finish the cookie and decided not to eat the other one. I was actually really disappointed to find that this is the worst cookie I've had for $4 each, it's not worth it. A waste of money for sure. If you get it, it's better off put on your shelf as a novelty item.

    I went to the Jack-in-the-Box in Santan Valley off Hunt Highway. The service I received tonight was the worst service I’ve ever had in my whole entire life. The young lady was rude, disrespectful, my food was cold and not correct. The soda taste like dirty water. I’ve asked her five times that I wanted if I can have onion rings instead of fries. She kept saying that was up charge. I said OK I always get it that way. She handed me my order. He was a single for seven french fries. She refused to give me my rings, even though I was willing to pay the Up charge. This young lady needs to be terminated.

    Unfortunately, I never had the chance to taste their taco. On Saturday, January 3 Jack In The Box advertised a TV special available until Jan. 6. The special was two tacos for $0.75. On January 6 I thought I would head to my local Jack In The Box at 11:45 AM located at Marlow and Piner Rd. in Santa Rosa CA. I was buying six tacos for myself, my wife and grandson, plus drinks. While parking, I noticed there was no signage for the special which brought some concerns. Upon entering the restaurant one person was eating, another waiting for his order, one Uber-eats type person, and one much older person standing in line. The person in line was also trying to order tacos. The female he was talking to didn't understand him. She called over what appeared to be the manager, a younger, shorter female. All three became involved in a very confusing conversation. I jumped in and said he wants to order the two tacos for $0.75 TV special.

    The older employee pointed to the menu above with tacos listed in the upper left corner at $1.49. I explained again to the two Jack In The Box employees their company was promoting a special on TV. The manager then turned the ordering monitor towards me saying it is "not on our app". My concerns were now confirmed and I walked out. As I got into my car, the person in front of me came out, unhappy.

    This special was advertised on Saturday. I have to believe hundreds of people have gone into this one Jack In The Box in Santa Rosa in the three day since the ad, This same situation probably occurred hundreds of times in thousands of Jack In The Box throughout the US. Am I to believe not one Jack In The Box employee or local manager did not notify a corporate manager? OR did that corporate manager decide to ignore the problem by not notify everyone down the line of an ad the company was not going to standby. Poor management when hoping a problem will permanently go away on its own. That causes the customer to permanently go away.

    First off we ordered the "GREMLIN MEAL" AND A ROOTBEER DRINK... THEY GAVE ME 2 TACOS, VERY LITTLE FRIES AND NO CURLY FRIES, ONLY CRUMBS AND I GOT A DAMN A COLA DRINK, NOT A DAMN ROOTBEER. And for them to be real quick to take my money but give me less than what I ordered and what I didn't ordered is bullshit..... not to mention the one tender when it was to be 2 yeah, bs.

    Horrible customer service. No one comes to the counter or even greets customers walking in and they just stand in the back and the food is just plopped on the counter without announcing the order number. One employee was mopping right by the door when I was trying to leave, making it a slipping hazard.

    I have never had to wait in line for about 40 minutes before getting to the order menu and then having to wait another 10 minutes for it to be actually taken. If I wasn't blocked in by the people in front or behind me, I would have definitely left to go get food somewhere else. I truly doubt that I will be going back again, even though it is the most convenient. I will be driving out of my way to get food in the future. The location I visited was at Hampton and Ledbetter in Dallas, Texas. If the option of Zero stars was available, that would be my rating.

    This is my second time coming to this location, I was so disappointed. Customer service deplorable, no professionalism, cussing from team lead ** and 2 other female associates. No one had name tags, only the team lead. Food was cold except for the small tacos. It is with deep concern my question is why aren't staff members changing and washing their hands during cash handling and picking up onions from the cooler. I literally had to tell the young lady to please change her gloves because I don't to get sick! Jack in the Box was my favorite place to eat but I will never return to this located 441 E GENEVA RD #4226, Wheaton IL. My suggestion would be retrain the team, get a more efficient. This is a fast pace establishment. People should not waiting long time for their orders. Train them or replace the team asap. It's hurting the business.

    10/14/25, roughly 8:50pm, we swung by to get a bite to eat as we were coming through Warrenton, MO. This store (#4054) looked a bit shady as it was a bit dim and dark, but they were open. Used the drive thru and ordered. They had us pull up and they would bring the food out to us as they had to make the one sandwich we ordered. While waiting, I had to go use the restroom. The lobby was locked up even though the posting on the door said they were open until 10pm and it was just 9pm. I knocked and the employee came up saying the lobby was closed. I pointed to the sign posted on the window. He opened up and looked. I said I just need to use the restroom while waiting for our food. He seemed a bit irritated, but he let me in.

    Back out in the car waiting for food, it arrived, but with cold curly fries and old normal fries. I knocked back at the door to let them know. They did replace them, but the whole stop from pulling into the drive thru until we actually drove away was 25min!! If we didn’t already pay, we would have left. Also making this review to inform that this location is not following their posted hours of operation. Just a frustrating stop when all we wanted to do was get a bite to eat and head home, 2hrs away. Not the best stop in awhile.☹️🤷‍♂️

    I’ve been a fan of Jack In The Box since the late 90’s. It was absolutely one of the best place to get a burger along side Whataburger, and Carl Jr’s. I loved their ultimate bacon cheeseburger especially when they use 2 different cheeses, and it was real juicy. Something everyone loves! Now in Illinois for the last 10 years, they finally after all these years opened up a handful of Jack In The Box locations. I was looking forward to finally getting an ultimate bacon cheeseburger. The new location was real packed.

    Honestly, they should be using bigger buildings, and more staff. It took almost an hour for my food. I did wait patiently. Parking was a mess, especially drive through! It will be a lot better once I move back to Texas. When I finally received my food, I was very disappointed! My burger was between a Jr, and a slider??? I mean what the heck!!! Even McDonalds burgers are a lot bigger than this. Burger King is the only one who hasn’t downsized their burgers yet. Not only was Jack In The Box burgers small, they were also dry???? I mean come on!!! No one wants to eat a small, or dry burger!!! Make it any smaller, it will be more like a kids burger, lol.

    They need to revaluate the situation. I know times are tough, but these burgers just don’t cut it. You can’t even see the white cheese on it because it’s so small! Probably the smallest burgers among the other burger places! Even Wendy’s are bigger than this! They need to bring back the original big, and juicy burgers that we all love so much! Not this small, dry burger that no one wants! I’ll never eat here again unless it changes. The fries I use to get more servings too! Why would they make the drink cups bigger, no one wants more soda. I prefer the food bigger, not the drinks. I’ll even be happier paying a little more money for the original burgers. Would be way worth it!

    They will not get much business if things don’t change. I’m moving back to Texas soon, probably won’t be eating there again. Even though, their shakes are still the original size and taste! That is one good thing at least that has not changed!!! Please give what the customers want, better original burgers!!! More portions. For the price, we should be getting what we pay for!!!
