Obviously everyone is Jack in the box either like the food or you love the food! Unfortunately I ran into a little issue. I have a work van that is just under 9 ft their sign says 9 ft 6 clearance when I got to the window I realized my pipe rack was going to scrape and had to have everyone back out. I tried to mention this to the employees but they seemed unconcerned about that. They had mentioned problems in the past but we just dealt with it they helped me back out which was awesome! And that's why I'm leaving them a five-star review they all worked as a team to help me get out of the drive-thru LOL. I hope that they get that fixed!
Thee Team players are Happy Workers and my order was accurate, However the Side 🥗 Salad was and is of my taste Buds lettuce was yellow (Ugh) never again Will I order Salad, other than that Chicken Bowls were Perfect for My Hunger Appetite. By The way you earned a 10 rating from Thee Counselor 😎🙏
Jack in the Box has long been one of my favorite fast places to stop. I really like the tacos. They are different from other taco places. I also like the milkshakes, they put real whipped cream on top with a cherry. The ultimate cheeseburger is also one of my "go to" burgers. French fries are good also. Stop in and get a chocolate milkshake, I do all the time.
I don't normally leave reviews unless it's terrible customer service. Food was great, got the breakfast platter. Anywho the guy yall have working the cash register, white dude with the mustache! Excellent customer service and the entire time I was eating there, he was none stop cleaning the place while there were no customers in line. Give the guy a raise.
Ribeye steakhouse burger was delicious and fresh. Curly fries as good as always. Definitely a good experience which is rare at fast food these days!
This jack in the box is one of the more quit one's the service is real respectful and most of there customers do the drive thru so that's what I did and parked in the parking lot and had lunch . I noticed that I wasn't the only one having lunch in the parking lot.
As before im shure i have already posted on here but here goes again...... I eat here quite often but never inside as i do drive and use the drive thru as most do, but i usually get the #28 w\ o.j. and an extra hash brown. Comes out to $10.75 total with tax. I do order a few other items off the menu but im kinda set on what i like eating from which places i normally go to.
Angel was the man, his smile was so warm it warmed up my food, give this man a raise.
When you come to Jack in the Box, I highly recommend you try the smash burgers. There are a few different varieties to choose from.
Excellent customer service! Perfect food, fast and clean store, very recommend location.
Super fresh and hot ultimate cheeseburger and curly fries!
Johanna is the best make sure you get your food made by her
One fateful Christmas day, at this Jack in the box, under a fateful star, an order was placed. Be not afraid, for I bring great news of tasty jalapeno poppers brought to you with excellent service. Forget frankensense and myrrh, this Christmas came bearing gifts of hash browns and Breakfast Jacks all day.
I only use the drive-thru of this Jack in the Box in the evenings. In my opinion, this is the best Jack in the Box in the county. My orders are always correct and well-prepared, and the drive-through attendants are pleasant and polite.
Your average run of mill Jack in the box. Service is usually pretty friendly. pretty laid back atmosphere.
Best Jack !!! Quick , easy, yummy food that is always the same . To top it off the staff are amazing. Well besides the (white manager, he needs a little work) but everyone else is wonderful
Jack in box great staff for keeping and returning my credit card and keeping safe for almost 5 days, before I was able to have a relative to retrive
Always friendly. Most of the time they get the order exactly right, which is a modern miracle vs door dash and half the other places we order take out/drive thru from. Why did you take the mozzarella sticks off the menu??? They were my family’s favorite mozzarella sticks above all but the most authentic Italian restaurants!!
I don't often review fast food joints because there isn't much to say about these places. With that said, the staff at this location is phenomenal. They are just the most friendly and accommodating people ever. On top of really never having any issues like missed items or poorly cooked or presented meals, they are just extraordinarily nice people that do their job well. Every employee here deserves accolades for their exceptional performance.
One of the better Jacks around the area, fresh hot food that doesn't taste like it's been sitting forever, good condiment to sauce ratio usually. Obviously managed well. Usually dint review fast food but this is a good location if you're craving a sourdough jack or chicken sandwich.

The dining room is always clean. The drive-thru has to menu boards which is convenient so that you can look at the menu before you need to order. The staff is very enthusiastic.
The hamburgers were fresh and hot. Just made. They were very good and they always honor their coupons. We think Jack in the box is so much better then McDonalds on Mission just 2vblicks from Jack in the Box.
Casual fast food outlet with a varied selection of burgers, sandwiches, and salads.

The BOGO would be better if it were for a better burger.

Its fine, service was was quick and courteous. Tried the new shake, not so good. This place is hit or miss, you can be ignored completely if they are busy
Food took too long, no tables were clean, I had to wipe off pancake syrup off mine. They had no diet drinks on their Coke freestyle machine, absolutely none, I had to choose a regular soda. Seating area is terribly laid out, let alone barely enough seating. The only thing that was good was the cashier's customer service, nice guy.
All right guys where the hell do I begin. I walk into the establishment and the first thing that catches my eye are two trash cans blocking a exit door! For some odd reason I can't post pictures I did take pictures of it if the owners want to see a VIA mail. And why the heck do you put two big trash cans by the exit door perhaps they don't know local laws. if an exit door's broken lock renders it inoperable or locked in a way that hinders escape, it is illegal and a violation of building and fire codes because exit doors must always be easily openable from the inside during business hours. This ensures rapid evacuation during emergencies, so a broken lock that prevents free egress is a dangerous and illegal situation. Other than that you have employees that clearly can see there is no action in the dining area no customers however there are four or three cars in the drive-thru. So why the heck is your so-called soda vending machine only dispensing three or four drinks and why on Earth is there no cleanliness standards literally tabletops crumbs smudges raps of straws under tables have a gum floor has like drips of water all over it it's just a bad example. They got to get that door fixed because if I walk in it's the same thing I'm reporting it

This establishment was simply WONDERFUL! The workers are delightful and fabtabulous human beings! I had the ultimate bacon cheeseburger and it was the most juicy and thiccccccc burger I've ever had from a jack in the box!!!!!!! I can still taste the remains when I lick my curly, hairy mustache, and I rejoice to the good lord when it touches my taste buds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤡
Went here today for lunch. The drive thru line was long so I went inside thinking I woukd get service faster. There were two customers waiting inside already. When I walked in no staff acknowleged me. No "hi. We will be with you in a moment" or "welcome in". Nothing. The employees were only assisting drive thru customers and totally ignoring those inside. No employee was at the counter to assist. I waited a few minutes but still no one greeted me or even looked up at the people that were waiting inside. Left because I could not get service. They lost a customer but I'm sure won't even notice since they don't even look up to acknowledge customers. Won't be back.
Worst customer experience at a jack in the box restaurant. Drive through guy ZERO customer service skills. Person in “charge” rolling eyes because I asked for extra ketchup!!! This place definitely needs attention from upper management.
I went to this Jack In the Box drive thru on Thursday August 4th and to start things off this is the worst Jack in the Box I’ve been too. I waited over 20 minutes in the drive thru line. Not only did I wait 20 minutes the person at the window was very rude and got my order wrong. I spent my whole lunch break in the drive thru trying to get my combo yet not even the right food was given to me. Lorena was extremely rude and honestly shouldn’t even work at a Fast Food restaurant. Attitude and dirty looks were given to me by Lorena. I honestly wouldn’t recommend this location to anyone unless you want to be treated like trash!
The last few times that I have been to this location, including today (carry out order #411 4/13/21), my experience has been terrible. Their beef tastes like sausage, and their burgers are thrown together without any sort of care. The fries are left to die in the warmer, but served stale to the customer without hesitation. This location used to be amazing. They’ve let it go recently. Here’s hoping they figure it out, but I can’t go back.
Phew!!! Someone in management needs to check on the late night drive thru crew here. They’re taking license to be as rude as they could possibly be to the customer. Dec 7 2023 at 11:09. What’s up with straight up behaving like the patron is inconveniencing you? Where do you think your paycheck is coming from?
The people in the drive thru are hella rude like we get it you hate your job we hate ours as well. Just make the most out of it show some decent customer service. Night time girl was terrible. Would expect more out of a nicer area like OC guess not.
When did it become such an issue for a manager to provide three sauces for an order? I ordered two sandwiches. I asked for three ranch dressing. The manager rudely told me that I can only have one and that I would be charge for each additional. Seriously. I asked for a reason and she just became dismissive. Did the price of ranch go up that much?
-10 Went back during day shift...Handed pre-made food AGAIN...room temperature! Won't be going there again! This is now status quo..AWFUL! On March 17, 2022, 8:54pm Lake Forest, on Lake Forest near Home Depot, store #3546. Placed order/drive thru…male who took order..curt/rude; didn’t listen to my specifics. Car in front of me had just placed order but picked up order immediately… FOOD WAS PRE-MADE..SITTING! Same for me.Soon as I got to window order ready! WAS NOT FRESH/HOT! ROOM TEMPERATURE! When the man at window asked for payment, I asked him to extend the card reader so he didn’t have to handle my credit card because I’m high risk/immune suppressed; he said it didn’t extend that far…As I was speaking to him saying that’s really something you should ask your employer to provide…he slammed the window shut in my face. He took my card outside of my site & took longer than “swiping” the card should have. He handed me the bag of food…no “thank you”, no confirmation of what he was handing me. I told him he was very rude as he again slammed the service window in my face. During this interaction I could hear someone in the back, a woman’s voice and it became clear to me these were two employees who felt they had better things to do than serve fresh hot food and provide polite service. I parked close to Home Depot to eat…the food, as I stated, it was room temperature and stale…not freshly made. I drove back to the drive-thru and spoke to same guy; said this isn’t fresh or hot and placed bag of food on the window counter with 1 bite taken from it and asked for a refund…explained I wanted a refund because I didn’t trust them making my food! He said he needed my card…and again, he took my card out of my site to a different card processor for eat-in customer…not sure and WOULD NOT GIVE ME A RECEIPT SHOWING MY REFUND! I asked to speak to the manager about service and his rudeness. The guy said he was the assistant manager and the manager wasn’t there …I said you should be fired for how you treat your customers and the terrible food you’re serving! He was a neatly groomed dark haired ~25-30 yr old, Hispanic male with plucked eyebrows(mentioned for identification reasons only) with a name tag the displayed “S***L”…the name on the original receipt said different…a female name, “M******Y”. As I was departing the window, this male employee poked his head out the service window and was shouting, “WHOA-WHO” and LAUGHINGLY at me as he was POUNDING and DRUMMING THE COUNTER TOP TO THE DRIVE THRU***LOUDLY and yelled out “A**HOLE” at me! WHAT THE HECK!! I could NOT BELIEVE what I had just experienced! I WAS SO UPSET I WAS IN TEARS! And, it was at that point…I thought “I’ll bet he messed with my food too! That’s why he’s laughing at me!” All I wanted was a small meal to tide me over till I got home as I hadn’t got around to eating that entire day! The food in the past at this location was usually pretty good and I eat there when I go to the Home Depot sometimes. Never treated rude nor had any food or trust issues before this night! I tried the corporate phone number several times…but they are closed during regular weekday business hours…so no answer! I also tried the customer service number and left a message at the end of the survey…but no one called me back after waiting 12 days to hear from someone and several attempts again. I tried the store phone number on the receipt several times…it just rings and rings but no answer…no one will answer! Jack-in-the-Box had SERIOUS problems in past…at one time, several people got extremely ill on burgers, a couple little kids died …I didn’t go there for years fearing for my own child’s safety. There have been sketchy occurrences of late with another location on Plano Trabuco Rd in RSM…none of which were resolved nor any changes made w/ employees. It’s too bad this company only looks at their bottom line & ignores complaints & requests to speak to representatives. VERY upset with Jack-In-The-Box! HIGHLY IRRESPONSIBLE ! THUG behavior & harassment of customers! Shame on them!
Some little weasel looking guy who works in the kitchen did not wash his hands. I heard a flush, and almost immediately, the weasel darts out of the bathroom and into the frying pan...I LEFT, FOOD TASTES BETTER WHEN YOU WASH YOUR HANDS..!! NASTY GOODBYE WEASEL...
Came with 3 people, they got tacos. I got a burger and a drink. This isn't stomach flu cause we all live together. I ended up in the hospital with food poisoning and was sick for 2 days.
I went to the restaurant at just around seven on a sunday to a notice on their window stating that the lobby was closed, I'm unsure if its because of short staffing or just poor scheduling. while reading the sign at the door one of the workers made eye contact with me, but ignored me. I then decided to walk through the drive thru, (I live across the street so I didnt see a need to bring my car) after standing at the speaking asking if anyone was there, I decided to just follow the line of cars since no one was willing to help me. at the window the woman who greeted me stated she is "unable" to sell me any food because I don't have a car and she could lose her job. I understand that protocols are protocols, but the way she responded to me with such a blunt and unwelcoming attitude was so disrespectful. say for instance I didnt have a car and had just enough for something there, would she still turn me down? very sad to know there's people like that in this area. I hope the establishment is able to get their staffing priorities solved.
I've been hearing lately about lettuce being made from plastic and imported into the U.S. from other countries. I visited jack in the box today, 10/19 ordered a jumbo jack and on my first bite I could feel the texture of the lettuce that was off as I chewed it I realized it was plastic and was so grossed out never eating at Jack in the box again
I ordered a Jack's spicy chicken. What I received is the dryest fast-food sandwich I can recall. The chicken patty was overcooked to the point that the patty retained no moisture. The bun was on similar condition. Avoid this location!
This location gave me FOOD POISENING! Ordered the Steak Egg and Cheese Burrito Combo. Within 4 hours of eating, I have not been able to keep anything down including water! do not go to this location. They do not prep their food long enough! you will get sick. My friend advised me today, that he got sick at this location just over a month ago! horrible!
Used to be good, now I'm consistently getting super stale bread on literally any sandwich I order. Waste of money, threw my sandwich from today in the trash. Wish I could get a refund.

Let me start by saying, that as person that has a job, you go to places like this to get fast service, because of the whole "fast food" thing, so lunch is limited to 30 minutes. That being said, I ordered ONE single item from their menu, a jumbo jack, 20 minutes later, after noticing people getting their food that had placed the order after I did, I just got up and ask for a refund!! I just hope that I'm the only person they have made to lose a lunch, and have to go back to work hungry! I hope they do better!!!
I go through the drive through and they continously ask me to wait at the front of the store in a parked spot when there are no other customers in line behind me. I don't like the demanding tones of the drive through employees, from this location, that always seem fed up.
Been here 3 times over the last couple of months. Today I waited for almost 5 minutes and no one came to the register to take my order so I left. The time before the cashier was just plain old rude. Prior to that I tried to order a burger with a lettuce wrap but came with the bun. Very tired of their poor service and have plenty of options around. Unfortunately I will not be going back to this location.
MICHEL MICHEL MICHEL the worst customer service you can find from that individual.... I mobile ordered 5 orders of 2 tacos (10 altogether) and 3 Jumbo Jacks. I thought about ordering a shake once I arrived and figured I go inside to order. WRONG MOVE. Immediately met with an irritated greeting as he tries to look busy. He couldn't meet anyone with a pleasant look except the team member that told him she was ready to be back from break. Now, I did ask him to make a mix of chocolate and strawberry in one shake, so I understand that could be upsetting, but the level at which he kept sighing and rolling his eyes was ridiculous. It felt as though any chance he had to be unpleasant, he did not hold back. And it wasn't just me. Two other individuals were met with a scowl. I noticed that MICHEL was the only one slamming bags, uttering nonsense to himself, and constantly sighing and rolling their eyes. Anyone else on shift looked like they were doing good, though the tacos were very wet with grease. A young man eventually came up and was very friendly about assisting me, I wish MICHEL hadn't left such a bad impression otherwise I could've remembered someone else's name. One thing I couldn't let go was just how much he was willing to push me out the door by asking constantly (and never listening because he still got it wrong) what I ordered and if I needed anything else...dude, I'm sitting at the table, do I look like I'm leaving? I guess if you go inside, be ready to cuss someone out 🤷🏽
The short heavy-set manager lady was antagonizing a customer with a mental disability over a drink refill and was having a good time doing so. She then tried to charge $1 over the normal price for a new drink order when someone tried to offer to pay for the disabled person's drink refill....It was clearly the most disgusting thing I've ever seen....and over something so minor. I hope there is some actual discipline handed out here.

# Morena's: Un Oasis Gastronómico en el Corazón de Lake Forest
En el vibrante condado de Orange, California, se encuentra Lake Forest, una ciudad que personifica la vida californiana moderna con su equilibrio entre desarrollo urbano, belleza natural y un fuerte sentido de comunidad. En este entorno próspero y en constante evolución, se ubica Morena's, un establecimiento que, a pesar de la discreción de los detalles específicos disponibles, promete ser un punto de encuentro culinario que refleja el espíritu de su ubicación en Lake Forest Drive.
Este artículo se sumerge en el contexto de Lake Forest para apreciar plenamente el lienzo sobre el que un restaurante como Morena's podría pintar su propuesta gastronómica. Dado que los detalles específicos sobre Morena's, como su menú exacto, historia fundacional o chef principal, no se encuentran en los datos disponibles públicamente en este momento, exploraremos lo que un establecimiento con este nombre y ubicación podría ofrecer, cómo se integra en el tejido de Lake Forest y qué tipo de experiencia podría esperar un comensal en esta dinámica ciudad del sur de California. Nos centraremos en el entorno, la cultura y las expectativas culinarias de la zona para pintar un cuadro completo de su potencial.
Para entender el atractivo de Morena's, es fundamental conocer Lake Forest, la ciudad que lo alberga. Situada en el corazón del Valle de Saddleback, Lake Forest es una ciudad relativamente joven, incorporada en 1991, pero con una rica historia que se remonta a los ranchos de ganado y las comunidades agrícolas del siglo XIX. Su desarrollo moderno comenzó en la década de 1960 como una comunidad planificada, lo que le ha otorgado una infraestructura envidiable, amplias zonas verdes y una planificación urbana coherente.
El área que hoy conocemos como Lake Forest fue inicialmente parte de vastos ranchos españoles y mexicanos, como Rancho Cañada de los Alisos. Con el tiempo, la tierra fue adquirida y desarrollada, transformándose de un paisaje rural en una de las ciudades residenciales más deseables del condado de Orange. El nombre "Lake Forest" se adoptó en honor a los dos lagos artificiales de la comunidad y los miles de árboles (principalmente eucaliptos, robles y pinos) plantados en la zona para crear un ambiente boscoso y sombreado, un contraste refrescante con el paisaje típicamente semiárido del sur de California.
Esta planificación cuidadosa ha dado como resultado una ciudad con calles arboladas, parques bien mantenidos y un diseño que prioriza la calidad de vida. La visión de sus desarrolladores sentó las bases para una comunidad que valora tanto la estética como la funcionalidad, creando un telón de fondo ideal para negocios que buscan ofrecer experiencias de alta calidad.
Una de las joyas de Lake Forest es su compromiso con los espacios abiertos y la naturaleza. La ciudad es hogar de numerosos parques y reservas naturales que ofrecen a los residentes y visitantes una plétora de actividades al aire libre.
Estos elementos naturales no solo embellecen la ciudad, sino que también cultivan una población que aprecia la calidad, la frescura y la conexión con el entorno, factores que sin duda influyen en el éxito de los establecimientos gastronómicos locales.
Lake Forest es predominantemente una comunidad residencial de familias y profesionales. Su reputación por tener excelentes escuelas, baja criminalidad y un ambiente tranquilo la convierte en un lugar muy deseable para vivir. Los residentes son activos, participan en eventos comunitarios y disfrutan de un estilo de vida que a menudo incluye actividades al aire libre y una apreciación por la buena comida y el entretenimiento de calidad. La cultura local es una mezcla de sofisticación suburbana y un toque relajado californiano, lo que crea un público exigente pero abierto a nuevas experiencias culinarias.
La gastronomía en Lake Forest, como en gran parte del condado de Orange, es diversa y de alta calidad. Los restaurantes de la zona suelen reflejar las preferencias de una población con buen poder adquisitivo y un paladar educado. Se valora la frescura de los ingredientes, las opciones saludables, la cocina internacional auténtica y los ambientes que fomentan la socialización y la comodidad. Desde cadenas populares hasta joyas locales independientes, la oferta es variada, pero siempre con un ojo puesto en la calidad.
Los comensales de Lake Forest buscan experiencias que vayan más allá de la mera alimentación; buscan lugares donde puedan celebrar, relajarse después de un día de trabajo o simplemente disfrutar de una comida deliciosa en un ambiente agradable. La tendencia hacia los ingredientes de origen local, la sostenibilidad y las opciones orgánicas es fuerte, influenciada por la proximidad a los ricos valles agrícolas de California y la cultura de bienestar del sur del estado.
Conociendo el vibrante telón de fondo de Lake Forest, podemos especular sobre la visión y la experiencia que un restaurante como Morena's podría ofrecer en Lake Forest Drive.
