We got there and there was like 4 people in line. But it took 20 mins to get our food & we don't know if the very first car fell asleep or what. We were finally able to place our order and got out food quickly, but 20 mins. Dang!

this jack in the box has the sweetest service. One of the night employees is the most polite person ever. The morning crew made sure I had everything in my bag and asked if we wanted extra utensils. They’re genuinely so nice every time. They hardly make mistakes and always get my sauce packets as requested too. they just seem to pay attention more than other locations I frequent. Everyone seems very nice and on their game. :)

This place is great. Yesterday I ordered a #25 sausage egg and cheese biscuit combo and I ordered another same biscuit sandwich. When I got to work it was bacon and no sausage. I told the morning manager the next day and she gave me a free sausage egg and cheese biscuit. Great place and very nice manager.
