Title: Jack in the Box - BA
Post by: zstyles on May 12, 2010, 09:45:25 am
Went there, was a flop, just wondering if anyone else has had the same BAD food I had. I had high expectations as seeing the MASSIVE lines the first few weeks.

I will stick with Crow Creek, Backyard or heck even Carl's Jr. over this place.  Anyone else? I called the corporate about my experience, found out the Taco's(yes taco I know at a burger place) are pre-made and just deep fried at the store...Mean..far from juicy...save your money..no wonder this place went out of business in Tulsa years ago.

The last time I been to a Jack in the Box was back in 00-01 when I was stationed at Fort Hood Tx. I am going to have to check that Jack in the Box out. Of course I bet their 2 for 99¢ tacos since inflation are now 2 for $1.50 tacos or 2 for $2.00 tacos.

I've heard rumor of a second one going up at the old Phillips station in front of the Reasors at 41st/Garnett.  Not sure how much truth there is to this, but the source seemed fairly in-the-know.

Personally, I don't go there for tacos, too many other places to go to for that.

Jack in the Box is drunk food. Great when it's 2:30am and you've had a few, terrible otherwise. But that location closes pretty early, so you better get started drinking early.

People in Tulsa will line up like crazy people for anything new.  It is kind of sad.

Speaking of, has Smashburger shuffled off to permanent FAIL yet?

I maybe alone on this one, but I love those deep fried tacos. Straight up college food (a little o/t)along with White Castle's and the Del Taco Macho Combo Burrito. To the metro east Illinois folks on this board (there are a few), what about those enchiladas and tacos from Bert's Chuckwagon?

Ha ! I thought I was alone on this one. My son wanted to go to Smashburger for his Birthday. What the heck just me and him.
26 Dollars for two burgers, fries for him onion rings for me and two drinks.
No cost related opinion here. They are OK ! just OK ! his friends had pimped this place so hard he was just ecstatic to be there.
I'm sorry but Fuddruckers across the street beats this teeny tiny little restaurant.

they have done so badly that they opened another one over on 71st in chain restaurant row.    And they are building one in OKC apparently.

Lots of chains keep expanding without regard to sustainability, especially new franchisees.  It was an unimpressive, forgettable, over-priced burger.  I've not returned and it's more convenient to my office than other places I frequent for lunch.

Only time will tell though, as with any of my predictions of failure, I hope I am wrong. 

Sounds like Fat Guys has been the big burger hit of the year in the Tulsa area.
