Jack is good for some fast food. I think their prices have gotten to be way to high. I think their under staffed. Cars move thru the drive thru pretty slow. I use to go there alot, cant afford it any longer.

Staff is rarely friendly but not exactly rude either (at least not all the time). They mess up orders a lot so just have to check your bags. Mistakes happen so its understandable I suppose. But do check. Food is usually decent. Wouldn't say it's great but I do like it and it hits the spot especially being the only place open after midnight.

My wife and I can't seem to get enough of Jack in the Box meals and deals, plus friendly staff and a clean dining room helps also. Wish I could give 100 stars. Would definitely continue to order food from there.

Went through the drive thru. 2 cars ahead of me, and I waited at least 5 mins at the menu board to even be acknowledged. Overall, it took about 15 minutes to get my food. The good part, however, is that the food was fresh and hot. For that, I gave them 5 stars. However, for the overall slowness and lack of acknowledging, I was there. I gave them a 3 star. Overall, it's not a horrible experience!

Lower Lake Jack in the Box is my favorite. Good customer service. I like the cook. She's a hard-working little gal. Always gets my special orders correct. She's the brains of the operation, in my opinion.
