However, it was a good thing I checked my takeout order, and so it is still a thing commonly taught.

This happened at another Jack in the Box in the past too. Otherwise, I got a whole meal for just over $ that could feed a family! Jack in the Box has the best deals with great burgers, so that is why we keep coming back. The coupons help!

Most recently, I got their super al pastor burrito, and it definitely hit the spot. The al pastor was flavorful with a nice balance of savory and slightly sweet, and they didn't skimp on the portions. Everything was well-packed, and the ingredients came together nicely without getting soggy halfway through. I've also tried their carne asada in the past, which was good as well. Tender and well seasoned, though not the most standout I've had in the area. Still, definitely satisfying and consistent. Service is quick and straightforward, and the vibe is your typical no frills taqueria. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. Overall, a dependable go-to for burritos in San Mateo. Not mind blowing, but solid enough that I keep coming back.

I've tried the original apple fritter, blueberry, and raspberry. They all have that delicious crisp exterior and super fluffy interior, without being dense. I also appreciated that they were not overly sweet, which is oftentimes hard to find in donuts. I still prefer the original apple fritter, but was surprised that I enjoyed the raspberry one quite a bit! There's a big ol dollop of raspberry jam in the middle, and streaks of raspberry throughout the fritter itself. The best thing about these fritters is that they're still delicious the following day. I went a little crazy with ordering and had plenty of leftovers. I popped them into the toaster and they were still pretty decent. The parking lot is tiny and so if you're here on the weekends, you'll likely need to wait for someone to leave. There's usually also a long line as well. Since I'm not in the area, I prefer to just order ahead online for a pickup order. The pickup orders are in a separate line inside the restaurant.

They have a lot of fun drink options and are known for their fritters, although I didn't get one this time. I went with the chorizo breakfast burrito instead, which was huge! Not spicy and filled with a a nice texture from the hashbrowns and eggs. Really generous portions, filling, and delicious. Great spot if you are around the area

No wonder most states are envious of how easy we can get their food. After a signing event a block away, we looked at the clock and learned there weren't many options for a relatively later dinner at 8:30 pm on a Monday night. We were a little worried about the drive up line so I convinced my friend thSt we should find a parking spot and dine in. We walked in and saw one line with four people ahead of us with two cashiers taking orders; that should beat the 9-10 cars that we saw snake out to Rollins Road. Besides the dining area inside, there are several outdoor tables in case you prefer that or the overflow is too much inside. A short time later, we placed our order, keeping the receipt handy and waiting for our # to be called. I took my beverage cup to the soda station to fill as my friend used the restroom. I found a disabled person table near the side entrance. When my friend reached the table and after he filled his beverage cup, I walked to to ketchup station which doubled as a pepper station too. Getting mini paper cups of both for us both, I brought them to the table and, about two minutes later, our # was called. I got the meal #2 which is comprised of a cheeseburger (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=cLIXVi0sQXaMWTkcLRcbtw), fries, and a medium soda, fries requested well done (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=4C2u6M3n35ODUWgYD-sxdA); haven't this for a number of years, it is as good as I remember. My friend commented about the fries, asking why they're different from other popular fast food places. I told him the the potatoes are fresh cut on site, a reason for my well done request. I alternated bites with the peppers (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=SI8uVSAzW4uyKXBTTu9v5Q) for a change of pace. Thank you to In-N-Out for satisfying our hunger pangs. Thanks to Gavin who patiently and efficiently took our order and the expediting gal for pointing me to the ketchup and pepper station. .

Add all those tourists and transit people you also have people from the whole peninsula, you can understand how crowded it gets here. The parking lot is probably the worst part of the experience here because it's always congested so I do not recommend coming here is you are short of time. It shares the parking lot with the carwash and several other restaurants so you'll likely be stuck here for a long while regardless whether you are going through drive thru or parking. The food is standard in n out which means something if you either are local or tourist. In n out intentionally goes old school so there is no app no order ahead and everything is pretty much all hand made including fries. If you never had their fries you may be surprised at the difference in texture but you'll like it the more you try. The burger is fresh and my only complaint is that I don't like their buns especially if you do grilled onions or animal style because the buns get soggy and breaks apart. That's one part shake shack had the upper hand.

Great customer service! I placed a mobile pickup order for 12:15 PM, and it was ready around 12:30 PM. I noticed my OREO Cookies & Cream Shake was already sitting out when I arrived around 12:10 PM, so by pickup time it had melted and wasn't as thick or cold as I expected. Not sure if that's the normal consistency or just because it sat out. The ShackBurger double patty was excellent -- simple, fresh, and satisfying. Added extra pickles and onions with sauce on the side, and everything came out perfect. The Spicy Fries were crispy and tasty, but I think the spice level could be turned up a few notches. Ranch was good, though a little thick. Overall, another great experience. The burger is definitely the highlight, and I appreciate Shake Shack taking care of the feedback!
