Jack in the Box

[Architect2010]

Saw that. I tried looking for a thrift store in the old Homeland store, and there are signs saying 'We Open Today' or something to that effect. But there is no sign, and it didn't look like anything was in the building. Granted this was 7 in the morning.

Hmm, I drive thru the area a lot and haven't noticed anything talked about in here. Next time, I'll take a closer look. Never once did I encounter a closed gas station.

thunder my wife grew up in that are, she lived off 71st and miller house backed up to the interstate.. the gas station was closed for some years, i am glad they are removing the old and adding new things to that area.

I am too. That area has OCCC on the other side of I-240 and some really nice neighborhoods a few blocks South so why not make things look nice?

Don't forget the new Oklahoma #1 Crest Market.

Yeah, the new Crest as well. I've only went there once but it's pretty nice.

The gas station mentioned has been closed for at least 9--10 years, it was on the NE corner of I-240 & May.

A new Jack in the Box is planned for Warr Acres.

Will be on the vacant lot directly east of Scooter's.

Any idea why this never happened?

They may not be doing as well as they could be in this market. The Moore Jack in the Box closed.

The Edmond Jack in the Box near Danforth and Santa Fe closed recently as well.

[gjl]

Google Map shows 7 in the metro area if you count Norman. I think I've eaten at a JITB once since they've come here.

[Plutonic Panda]

That really sucks they close the one in Edmond. I went there all the time.

The one in Midwest City used to do pree good and now they are dead most days.

With a few exceptions, their food is generally awful. I love their tacos (who doesn't?), egg rolls, curly fries and their sourdough melt, but other things I've tried were just not good, like Del Taco bad.

I don't know. I would rank Jack In The Box higher than Whataburger but that's a low bar.

I can make a better burger at home anyway.

Jack in the Crack absolutely clears Whataburger. The are both mid 24-hour chains, but Whataburger is not it. The lines confuse me the few times a year I see them because of how below average everything whataburger sells actually is. Jack in the box at least has the common decency to know they are trash; Whataburger thinks it's the Texas version of In-N-Out and that is just not reality.

I know I’ve said this before and I’ve been criticized, but I’ll say it again, and my personal opinion, I found that a lot of of these fast food type joints are better in the west. And I think a lot of of them started out here too. McDonald’s, Jack-in-the-Box, In-N-Out, and I’m kind of just talking out of my ass here, but I’m gonna go on a limb and assume that Del Taco was started in California. Not too sure about the Del Taco one though, but I know Del Taco absolutely slaps out here in Cali. I don’t know what it is.

But I do know the best burger joints in Oklahoma City are much better than any of the best burger joints in Los Angeles. And I love a good Tommy’s chili cheeseburger. But those onion burgers from Nics, Tuckers, or those places in El Reno are better than anywhere I’ve had and of course their onion burgers, but nonetheless. Bunny’s is pretty good too. And if you have little ones with you, they have a robot server that brings you your food, which is pretty cool.

I lived out there a lot longer than you have and I completely disagree.

Del Taco is the same, the In-n-Out I had in Dallas was exactly the same.

That’s perfectly fine. I don’t know what you’re trying to infer by mentioning that you’ve lived out here longer than I have. But okay. At any rate, on the In-N-Out thing, I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree because I’ve eaten at the one in Dallas off of the NDT(that’s the only one I’ve eaten at in Texas) and I’ve been to the one in Aurora, Colorado. Both of them were not good at all to put it politely.

Now regarding Del Taco, that’s a different matter. The several times I went to the Del Taco in Edmond it was really good. And in my personal opinion again, the Jack-in-the-Box was really good. But for whatever reason, they just weren’t supported and I don’t know why and it’s really weird. I know the Del taco in East Hollywood, which is my go to is 24/7. And honestly can’t recall if I’ve ever been to Del Taco outside of either Oklahoma, New Mexico, or California. I also very rarely travel east, except for going to Florida or Atlanta. I don’t really care for Tennessee or Nashville all that much so I don’t think I’ll be back that way anytime soon and I certainly have not been to that In-N-Out.

Um. A larger sample size?

Extremely blunt and correct.

The greasy, fried tacos at Jack in the Box are in high demand late at night after people come piling out of bars and clubs.

There was one right down the street from me and the busiest times were after midnight.

In fact, I'm not sure I've ever eaten there during the day! But late, it's one of the few places that are open with a drive-thru. Reminder there are no Whataburgers in SoCal.
