The Jack in the Box menu at a glance
Robert O. Peterson opened the first Jack in the Box in 1951 by converting a drive-in he owned on El Cajon Boulevard in San Diego, and the company is still based in that city. After selling Del Taco in December 2025, Jack in the Box Inc. is focused on its namesake brand, which had about 2,115 restaurants across 25 states plus Mexico and Guam in mid-2026. Franchisees run most of them, so prices and hours can differ between neighbors.
The menu is broader than at most burger chains. Alongside burgers you will find deep-fried tacos, stuffed jalapenos, a teriyaki bowl, curly fries and a breakfast lineup that never switches off. Late-night regulars know it for Munchie Meals, which bundle an entree, sides and a drink. Prices below are typical estimates, and the calories we show come from Jack in the Box's official nutrition guide.
