We hadn't gone to Jack in the Box in a very long time and decided to try it. Art got the salad which he said was quite good. I opted for the Chicken Fajita after asking if the chicken was deep friend or grilled.
It was grilled and looked good on the menu photo.
It didn't quite look like this when I got it, of course. It was actually quite small considering the fact that it was over $4.00.
The pita was extremely soggy and you really couldn't hold it to eat. Everything fell apart. I finally had to get a fork after setting the sandwich on the cover of Art's salad dish.
Taste wise it was OK. Next time, I'll probably choose a salad instead. Besides we were able to take home the salad dish to wash and reuse.
I haven't usually had reason to complain about fast food dishes. They are just fast food. However, this was irritating. Have you had any places that you were unhappy with?

I prefer Jack to Mac though. On Monday, I had the French Fries from Jack and enjoyed them. Not too many food complaints from me.
ReplyDeleteG and I make our decisions on what sits well in our stomachs. Jack in the Box does, Most of the others do not.
ReplyDeleteI always seem to be unhappy with Applebee's. Had 3 bad experiences there in a row. Haven't eaten there for quite a while now!
ReplyDeleteNo kidding? I think we've only been to Applebee's once, more than a decade ago when we lived in Illinois. The ads always make it look so good.
DeleteI never eat in fast food restaurants. That solves that problem!
ReplyDeleteYou are being much healthier than we are, Marianna.
DeleteI mostly go to fast food places if I am taking the grandkids. I usually get a salad but sometimes want a burger and fries. They are usually not as good as I expect them to be.
ReplyDeletewe tend to go to places we already know. It is nice to try new places and dishes though. Some don't work out but some do!
ReplyDeleteI try to avoid fast food spots. Perturbs me that Wendy's now makes their chicken nuggets much thinner, and has less meat in their chili.

I have to admit we do grab fast food when we're out shopping or on the run. Haven't been to Wendy's in a while though.
DeleteWe seldom eat at fast food places. I don't think I've ever eat at Jack in the Box. We occasionally stop, when traveling, at an In-n-Out Burger or Panda Express. I know I can order items at those places that won't make me sick as I am highly sensitive to preservatives in food. We don't eat at chain restaurants for that reason.
ReplyDeleteI like the fries at McD's, burgers at A&W, milkshakes at Dairy Queen, coffee at Starbuck's, soup at Tim Horton's — most of these are airport-based opinions, where fast food has to be really fast, or very slow. LOL
ReplyDeleteHaven't had a fajita since Mexico.
Sigh.
Hi to Art, and all the best to your mom.
Luv, K
Aaah, yes! I do remember enjoying the soup at Tim Horton's when we were in Canada. Hugs to Dick and Lindy, too!
DeleteI'm with Hattie and DrumMajor: I avoid fast foods and if forced to eat at one, I try to get a salad. Never been to Jack's.
ReplyDeleteI hate a goofy sandwich. I'd go for the salad too.dianne.
ReplyDeleteI rarely eat at fast food and only do to dull my appetite till I can get home. Most places do just that.
ReplyDeleteMost Fast Food I am unhappy with. Seems a good idea at the time but I often feel gluggy afterwards, guilty and unsatisfied. Subway is an exception!
ReplyDeleteI don't eat fast food unless we're traveling and sometimes they're the only thing on the horizon. I basically have to be very careful what I eat as my regular diet is bland, and when I eat out in any restaurant lately I always regret it, so boring.
ReplyDeleteWe have a Jack in the box and I've only been there a few times. Every-time makes me wonder why I came back.
ReplyDeleteConsumer Reports just did a story with photos on this topic! We don't expect it to look like the styled photo, but often they look and handle awful as in your case....

Our favorite fast food place these days is Subway. We can get a healthy sandwich, and then blow it on the chips and cookie. Gotta stay balanced!
ReplyDeleteOur other favorite fast food joint is Starbucks. You can always get a good latte and something yummy to go with it.
what gets me at most restaurants is all the salt they use...
