Jack In The Box - Sandpoint

Your basic fast food place. Generally happy humans on drive through. Food always fast and hot. Drive through usually not a great length of time. Common to find you are only car going through, or just one in front. Makes things easy.

I was on a road trip and noticed that Jack in the Box isn't available in my area. Traveling as a single father with a child can be challenging, but when they offered me a warm cup of water for his formula, they scored extra points in my book. I ended up needing to change and feed him, and the outdoor fireplace they had was perfect for keeping him warm while I fed him. It was 8:30 at night, and it really made my travels much easier. Plus, I appreciated their menu too!

I've been enjoying three things from JIB for the past 40 years, and they're still exactly the same, which is a bit disappointing for me. The tacos, cheesecake, and real strawberry shake are classics—seriously, what's going on with the competition that they’ve removed strawberries? Whoever thought that was a good idea is missing the mark. On a brighter note, the sourdough breakfast sandwiches, while not traditional, are absolutely delicious.

The burger was quite disappointing—dry, cold, and squished. Also, it seems the side salad is no longer available? It would be helpful to update the menu so that customers aren't confused when they order it.

The spicy chicken Large Jacks Spicy Chicken w/ Cheese Combo was just clumps of crunchy breading on a sliver of chicken. Totally inedible. At least I could eat the fries and Tiny Tacos
