I agree, I won't eat at jack in the box because their coke sucks
If you ever saw what the syrup lines look like in a fast food place, you might rethink ordering a Coke. Even the Ice machines gross me out.

They had a sign out that said renovation was coming soon, a few weeks before the demo.

No egg rolls? Jack in the Box almost got the texture of the inners to seam like you are actually eating cabbage.

The egg rolls are really good. Better than most Chinese restaurants. I love them with the taco sauce.

I bet In and Out has clean ice machines and coke machines. That place is always spotless. 👍

Was that Jack in the Box actually that busy that it warranted a remodel ?

Not sure how busy it is. But I remember in the early 80’s my buddy would walk there after a night of drinking when the walk in was closed. He would go thru the drive thru in his flip flops. Lol

They don’t have Jack in the Box’s in Florida.

I can’t lie…….. I sure miss having a Sourdough Jack every once in a while! The tacos were a guilty pleasure too!

Ralston Purina owned Jack in the Box fast food restaurants from 1968 to 1985, along with several high-end restaurants.

Now you know what their tacos are so tasty! :eek:
I did not know that but I've always thought they looked & smelled like dog/cat food.🤮

Last time I was in Havasu I pulled up behind this dump truck to see what was written on the tailgate

Anyone recall the JITB commercial, when the obvious mobster drove up to the order menu, pulled out and pointed it at Jack and then
, “Listen bright eyes, get this and get it right!” Classic stuff. Believe JITB may have started in San Diego. But the one on PCH in Seal Beach/Hintington was there many years ago.

Their bowls are actually pretty good too, potatoes, gravy, corn, and popcorn chicken in a bowl, add a small mac n cheese, and dump that fucker on top. Boom fat guy goodness

Their Chicken Pot Pies are the Best!!! ❤️

Taco Bell??

You know why they don't have a play room at Taco Bell, right?



















Cause it's hard to have fun when you're trying not to shit yourself! 😁

Tell them to throw their sweet and sour in the trash and Ask for the teriyaki sauce next time.

Well that depends on locations.
havasu Taco Bell beans suck, like in all the years going there they don’t taste anything like ca locations.
Crispy melt tacos when they come around are tasty, basically a new school version of the old school taco lights
mexican pizza good
Beefy 5 layer
taco supreme
nacho supreme
nacho fries or even better grilled cheese nacho fries with steak, lol
note you can order any burrito, and ask to put in tray covered in red sauce and cheese for the old school enchirito
i do miss meximeltsl those were tasty and simple cheese and pico rolled up. Great while driving

im a garbage disposal, Taco Bell certainly ain’t making me shiz, it’s got to be truly china Buffett status to hurt this gut

You ever try a sloppy bag at Circle K?

Take a bag of Frito’s, smash them up, squirt some chilli and cheese in there. Grab a spork, instant meal. 👍

meximelt = soft taco - lettuce + 3 cheese blend + Pico. Put it in the steamer (if you find a location that still makes pico)

enchirito = combo burrito + 3 cheese blend + red sauce. specify on the outside, put in the steamer


I worked at the tacobell in savi ranch in hs. I've got the menu dialed including most of the old items.




the beans are dehydrated, just add water beans no matter what location you go to. The flavor isn't going to change, maybe just how much water they add.

Could never bring myself to eat at JITB based on the reputation, but tended bar in one of those high end restaurants in '74. Place called The Dry Dock. Their menu was top notch.

I the same way.. lol.

If the person taking the order is drunk in an Uber though it’s “a number 1 with no onions”. Pretty much works anywhere.. lol.

I remember as a kid in San Diego when JTB was buffet style. They had bins with Hamburgers, cheeseburgers fries and onion rings. Put what you want on your tray and pay at the end of the line.

Super Taco with extra sauce is their best menu item.

JITB had a deep fried burrito in the '70's that eased a hangover after leaving a club or strip joint at 2:00 a.m. 👍 :cool:
Everything else was meh...
