Jack in the Box

[bbhill]

Went to Jack in the Box yesterday at about 6:30. Wait inside for food was about 30 minutes. I got one of their sirloin cheeseburgers which tasted almost identical to McDonald's new angus burgers. Fries were average. They had a really nice self serve kiosk inside that was pretty neat. It seemed like everyone else was ordering tacos. While waiting I saw several orders of 40+ tacos come out. . . Not sure why you would come to Jack in the Box for tacos instead of taco bell. Overall the experience was definitely better than McD or BK.

Because their tacos are actually good. Taco bell sucks, it really does. I'd take a JIB taco over Bell any day of the week, twice on Friday. I go to JIB pretty much just for the tacos too.

I stopped in for lunch today around 11:30, drive through was very busy and 12 ahead of me inside. I have never tried the tacos that everyone brags about so I thought I would give them a try, they were without a doubt the worst I have ever had (middle was soggy and greasy and the edge of the shells as hard as a rock. I will go back, but I'm sticking to the burgers.

Yeah that's the point. It's deep fried.

True, and when you deep fry an already bad product, the outcome can be quite scary. The wrapper would have been tastier, and probably more nutritious.

I'm not sure about farther north, but there's one that's close to down on 19th street in Moore, in front of the Home Depot just west of I-35.

You can smile even bigger, unless their plans have changed. There is supposed to be another JiB planned for the NW 24th and W Robinson area. Don't recall the time frame, just the general area.

yes, check the main jack in the box thread, not the one in the norman section. I know of one on I-40 and Meridian I belive and one on Memorial and May and a few others I believe.

It's actually I-40 and Macarthur. There is also one opening between Shell and Santa Fe Cattle Company at 29th and Air Depot.

Thank you very much, I just hadnt had time to do the research myself. Thanks to all of you. Keep me posted on the one in moore.

They should hire their own security or parking attendants, the Norman Police have been there all week, anytime of day I've driven by, it seems like a waste of their time, what other business have gotten their own tax-payer funded security detail?

I'm not familiar personally with this situation but is it possible that the police officers had been hired by the restaurant? It's not unusual for a business to hire off duty officers for security. Also, if the city thinks it may cause some kind of safety problems they are justified in placing police there during those times.

Heck of an assumption. Anything to indicate it's more than that?

[rcjunkie]

While there for lunch earlier this week, I spoke with the officer working the parking lot, he informed me that all officers working the parking lot were off-duty and hired by Jack-In-The Box. They did have two officers on Grand Opening day directing traffic in and out of this location that were on duty, but this is not out of the norm.

rcjunkie...Back in the 60's you could get 10 Jack Tacos for a dollar and they were a huge hit among the beach crowds of Southern California...maybe it's an acquired taste. I haven't had one in decades, but I can't imagine them tasting as good as they did back then.

[Superhyper]

It's the same situation you'll see with most banks. They hire an off-duty officer to work security for them, the thinking being that people will take a police officer more seriously than a rent-a-cop. Its very, very common.

Does anyone know when the Jack In The Box in Moore is going to open? I have a bet with a friend that it'll open up by June 15.

[kevinpate]

Not if they follow the pattern of the east side Norman location. It stalled out for several weeks, but the townfolk seem to have forgiven the delay. They pack the place.

Detesting crowds, I've not popped in yet. Son likes it.

[soonermike]

When we went to the soft opening of the one in Norman, the manager said the Moore location is set to open on July 26th. Maybe you can get out of that bet...

[kawititnow]

Wow... July 26th. That's surprising... I figured as quick as the Chicken Express opened and with the progress they've made so far at the JITB that it wouldn't be much longer. Guess I was wrong.

It wasn't a big bet, just loser buys lunch.

[Jesseda]

there was people working inside last night at jack in the box in moore, everything looks like it is set up to open, they already had the job hire thing for it.. i was predicting maybe next week

[rcjunkie]

The Norman store had their "Open Soonish" sign up for 2 months before it finally opened.

[bmrsnrou]

Not trying to be a party pooper, but why the excitement over jitb? Personally, I think the food is terrible, and I know I'm not alone. I wish we could get something good like In n Out, then I'd be excited.

[andimthomas]

Well I'm sure there's just as many people that like it as people that don't.
