If I could give negative stars I would. We waited over 30 minutes in line to be told that they would not take our order and were only doing online orders. After asking for a manager, we were told that there was no manager on site that evening. Hands down worst drive thru experience I have EVER seen... EVER. Horrible, truly horrible. read more

Terrible, bordering on a giant scam. Lobby was locked. Went to drive thru, but they said that they couldn't take my order and that I needed to order online. Went back to parking lot and placed online order. Went to the drive thru again and told them my name. Took awhile until we got to the window and they were out of the food that I had ordered (no tacos and no milk shakes). They substituted part of the order. I asked for partial money back due to them not having anything. They said they couldn't do that because I ordered online. Said I would have to file online for a refund. I was ticked off, so made sure to file online for a refund. During that process it asks if you want a call back from a Jack in the Box representative. I did. One month later and never received any call, any email, any communication, or any refund of any money. I guess the store should be making a pretty good profit. They don't give you any food because they don't stock it. Then they don't give refunds of any sort. Needless to say, probably the worst restaurant experience I've had in the past decade. read more

Came here at 8:30pm for two burgers and eat-in is closed. Drive thru takes forever to line up. We probably lined up for at least half an hour before we got to the window. We just learned that this week they had a staff shortage with only two in the morning and four at night. We got the new Smashed Jack. Burger is good unfortunately it came cold. It's such a shame that good burgers like this wasn't satisfying but could've when served in a timely manner. I have to mention that I love the wrapper around the burger. It made for less messy handling. Oh well I feel for the staff but management should try to correct this. Long lines mean business and their burgers are otherwise good. read more

Jack in the Box - Smashed Jack - Fast Food Near Me - Kailua Kona, Hawaii

Aloha Everybody reading this, I am writing this as an almost everyday Jack in box goer and everytime we go there is always a problem from service all the way to the food. Problems such as no employees, long waits for over an hour, hair in food, and even wrong food items. The problems are really tiring and I have honestly lost my interest in Jack in box in Kona. At the time of writing this review we just dealt with a very concerning issue of them not refunding money back! The issue was we were waiting in the drive through line after making a mobile order just to hear the intercom go "we are no longer serving after this car" We snapped because they gave no reason and as paying customers we should either get our money back or something but instead they yelled at us and even argued with the many people that were also with us which is completely wrong. In short, they need some help with everything to hiring, learning manners, correcting mistakes, and so much more. In conclusion, I will not be coming back to this location ever again. read more

Says 24 hours but they decide to close early on top of that it always takes 45mins to order in drive thru at times. Shitty service!!

This is the worst Jack-in-the-Box I've ever been to. I've come about maybe four times in every single time that I asked for extra lettuce they never put it. I'm always hoping that the next time somebody will listen but they never do and they won't give you a receipt so that way you don't call headquarters to complain. I will never come here again ever again, and I will get a hold of corporate to let them know and that's why Jack-in-the-Box is not doing great because of their employees not because of Jack in the box. What a waste of money. read more

Reached the store around 10 pm, 2 people in line before us. Waited for 15 timed minutes in line for the order window (which was fine), finally got to the machine only to sit there for another 15 minutes without anyone saying anything. Not even a hi, hello, please wait -- after sitting we noticed that the car in front of us also didn't order. We had been there a few weeks prior and the woman on the machine informed us that if it is not a online order they cannot help us with drive thru service. We sat in the drive thru holding up the line, trying to order online before they were finally like just drive up and we'll take your order at the window.. Fast forward to last night, we assumed maybe they're only taking online orders again but we had no way of knowing because there was no response at the machine, no sign up stating this. So we proceeded to drive to the window, older polynesian woman at window asked if we were with doordash, we kindly said no were just trying to order but wasn't sure what to do. She said that we are supposed to wait at the machine, "even if you have to wait long time you have to wait" i said well you weren't responding, 15 minutes is an excessive amount of time to be waiting with no acknowledgment.. We reached the actual window at 10:33pm. We asked if we could put an order in for 2 shakes and an 2 orders of fries at the window and she said no, we had to go back around. She then proceeded to say, she remembers us from last time and her supervisor told her don't take the order up here again. We told her we knew the girl who took it last time, and it wasn't her. She did not let us speak to the supervisor, the dining area is already closed -- for them to say that its due to them being short staffed and busy that's not the consumers problem. We really didn't mind waiting, we know what comes with going to Jack in the Box in Kona town, it's the fact that they make the process unbearable and it seems like its because they are incompetent. Tried contacting the store immediately last night -- no answer. Tried contacting the store this afternoon -- no answer. no accountability. So understaffed and the staff they do have, hate their life and job. Filing this public complaint in hopes it'll reach the right person in management, this has been going or for years. If you can't be 24 hours, don't advertise that you are. Put up a sign, "hey, were working on your orders, please wait for a representative." and to the business manager commenting on these yelp reviews to contact heyjack website, don't waste your time commenting on this one :) i have already submitted a request online, if you're going to comment something let it be a direct line to the franchise/store owner. Other then that, you, like your staff are irrelevant. read more

Went through the drive way seen a girl making an order and proceeds to ask me if I'm picking up. I told her I'm ordering than she said she is closed that's the third night she said that. It doesn't make any sense when you ask someone if they are picking up and then say it's closed because I wanted to order. This jack in the box night shift employee don't care whatsoever 0/5 stars If I could give it to them. read more

I have never experienced a fast food disaster like this in my life. I waited 1 hour and 26 minutes -- yes, you read that right -- for food that showed up cold. At that point, I could've gone grocery shopping, cooked dinner, and still eaten faster. The girl taking my order had an attitude like I personally ruined her day. Deep sighs, rushing me, zero effort to even pretend she cared. Sorry for ordering food at a restaurant, my bad I guess. And when I finally got my order? Cold. Every. Single. Thing. Like it was personally hand-delivered from a refrigerator. Whoever's managing this place needs to be replaced immediately because this level of chaos doesn't happen by accident. It's impressive, really -- to fail on every possible level. read more

Since Covid in 2021, the dining room has been closed, drive thru only. Lately, they always say there is a shortage of employees so NO dine in or carry out for the past 5 years. We usually get tacos but for past year it is 50% chance they have them in stock so I have learned to park at an angle at drive thru order screen in case I have to back out when they are out of tacos (which are now $1.99 for two tacos as of July 2025). I'm curious if it is the same franchisee owner in Hilo which is never out of tacos or closes the dining room. There Jack B./Business Manager, you don't have to use your redundant boiler plate response about how patrons should never have to experience poor/slow service and going to heyjackbox.com read more

This place was awful. The inside is clean but we waited legit 20mins for our order and that's after having ordered it on the app 15mins earlier. The staff was playing games on their phones in the kitchen. They didn't want to be bothered. Our food was cold when we got it and the fries had black flakes as if the grill had never been cleaned. It was the absolute worst Jack in the Box we've been too and the employees were all a joke and rude. Some weirdo rude overweight girl with dyed hair and pierced mouth is not the first impression of Big Island anyone would want. Avoid this place at all costs!! read more

What's the point of having a 24/7 drive thru when service takes an hour. We waited at the drive thru more than 30 mins and the poor worker didn't know what she was doing. Worst service ever. read more

Honestly worst experience took about 40 minutes in drive thru not even exaggerating I wish i was they had totally forgot my order when I got to window had to wait even longer for them to make my food after waiting 50 minutes for fast food and driving 30 minutes just to get home and have the complete wrong order read more

Excellent food as usual. Bonus Jacks should be on the menu as in Portland Oregon. Tacos were great also

They say you open 24 hrs twice we went there at 4 am through drive through and no one responded beeped our horn and no response so assuming they were closed and left. read more

aloha everyone, I have been sitting in the drive for 45 mins this is ridiculou. the car in front of me hasnt even talked to anyone yet to take their order. I wish this wasn't the only place open 24 hours. some days they aren't open at all what is with that. read more

Slow service. Cold food. Rude personnel. Inconsistent hours. Unclean. Unclean. Unclean.

This JACK IS HOT! By far the best and the way it's oriented gives the drive through a unique, welcomingly hospitable presentation. A great delicious fast food experience at a standard general pace where food presentation and quality can be expected. 100% professional (a first experience) Fans Fave Box (didn't actually purchase, but is available) Ultimate Cheeseburger combo (curly fries) Meat lover burrito 2 tacos (ask for taco sauce) 3 egg rolls (sweet and sour sauce) (At night at about 10:30pm) read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Usually jack in the box is popping at 8 pm. This one was dead, along with a million dead bugs on the menu screen. The inside dining room was locked an hour before closing and the lady was trying to wait us out so we would leave. I'm also honestly so hungry so it could just be my emotions. But it was dirty and horrible anyways. read more

service: there was plenty of staff which leaves no room for excuses in the service we got. The hours online and on the door are apparently wrong as we knocked on the door just to be stared at by the employees (at 8pm). my family of 4 just got off a plane and wanted to get dinner before our drive to the place were staying and decided jacks would be a good option. In the drive through we asked if we could use the restrooms and they said no. the wait wasn't long but the food wasn't hot. food: we ordered the #6, the #12, and 4 wraps. overall fine- just not hot. the food was generally fine, nothing above average. would not go back due to the prices, service, and lack of flavor. I'd direct you to the Burger King or McDonalds. read more

Don't order from this place. They forget items on the bottom of the receipt . Ridiculous! Horrible service

Over the last year, Jack in the Box at this location has been terrific. While there can be a bit of a wait in the drive through line, my orders are always hot and complete. The majority of the staff are friendly. Those that aren't can reap their own karma. All in all decent food and service. read more

Wow...... just.... Wow... if I didnt have to put a star, Id put ZERO STARS I thought I ordered a croissant sausage breakfast sandwich ha ha ha ha I thought wrong Pretty sure this is road kill.....‍‍‍‍ Lets not get started on the eaten cherry that was thrown right on top of my oreo shake read more

Got back to our hotel around 10pm last night and most restaurants in Kona were already closed. Our best option was to go with a fast food joint and we decided on Jack in the Box as we don't get them up in the northeast. Jack in the Box's menu was extensive!!! My husband and I were super excited to see that they had all day breakfast on the menu and went with 2 orders of the jumbo breakfast platters. At the drive thru window, we were told to go wait in the parking lot and someone would bring out our food when it was ready. Back in U.S. mainland, we are used to waiting 20+ minutes for fast food, but here at Jack in the Box in Hawaii, our food was ready and brought out in 5 minutes. We were exhausted after a full day of sightseeing. The jumbo breakfast platters were delicious and hit the spot. We devoured everything and passed out right after. read more

I probably hit up this place 2 to 3 times a week. It's a very short list of restaurants that's open late in Kona. I ordered 3 egg rolls the night before. I came home to realize there was only one. I went back the next night, and ordered some late night aftwerwork munchies again. When I got to the pickup window, I mentioned I only got 1 eggroll out of 3 I ordered from the previous night. No questions asked by the drivethru attendant; a few minutes later, I pick up my order and also there are eggrolls to make me whole. These late night crew deserves a hug. They work late night to keep us fed. :) read more

Verily slow, customer service is bad, you can barely hear them on the speaker, lady at the register is also rude and looks like she hates being there. read more

We frequent this Jack-in-the-Box quite often and every single time we come. Here you can guarantee you will get great customer service. We have never had any issues with our food or them forgetting items through the drive-through. You can tell that they give 100% to all of their customers and they do it with the smile. read more

12-5-2022 1:15pm First, we ordered two of the same exact burgers and they came with different buns?? Second, they cooked the cheese WITH THE WRAPPER STILL ON. Third, sold out of buttermilk sauce :/ read more

Very slow service. Definitely understaffed. The drive thru is only open. Can't remember the last time the lobby part was open. Very nice ladies that work there though. Always friendly. read more

staff is friendly, food is good, has some local foods as well, price is somewhat reasonable.

Not open 24 hours. They say my review needs at least 85 characters, but I came here to say that it's not open 24 hours.

I would love to write a review about the food or TACOS!!! However, at 8:45PM and they are no longer taking orders. Long lines continue showing up, rinse and repeat. Employee very rude about the situation. Please update your hours. read more

Jack in the Box - Closed down at 8:45PM - Fast Food Near Me - Kailua Kona, Hawaii

Since jack in the box abandoned Michigan- I figured why not? A very strange parking lot and drive thru. Went with a couple of tacos ,onion rings and free fries. Now I understand what the fries were free. Had to be the worst I ever had - all the ketchup and salt in the world couldn't save em. Tacos were greasy and crunchy, like I remembered. Onion rings good also. Fast friendly drive thru. read more

Service sucks!!! I could kill a chicken and cook it before I get to make a order at this place

Was out of everything I asked for. Settled with an item that wasn't appetizing. A bunch of homeless people outside the store as well, made the food a bit more unappetizing read more

Don't waste your time. Nothing like Jack on the mainland. We're from San Diego so I've been to plenty of Jack in the Boxes. However this one was awful. Cold food, stale buns, no cheese on tacos, old stale tortillas. Just a waste. If nothing else is open you're better off just going to bed hungry. Also charging extra for dipping sauces read more
