I placed a fairly large order through the app and when I arrived a few minutes later, my order was hot and ready! The food was delicious. Oh yeah the employee was very pleasant. Definitely a better transaction than some in the past. Thank you! read more

Went thru drive thru at 1:00 am. (open 24 hr.) was only customer in drive thru. When I was waiting to place my order. I was greeted with we are not taking orders for 30 minutes, were on a break. I asked why are you even open then? I got no response, I left and saw an employee sitting outside the building smoking a cigarette. This is the second time this has happened to me at this location. What a complete "*****" joke. read more

Trash location apparently never have product in stock1 Ordered tiny tacos no ranch in stock and then was given almost black tacos all burnt. Either change your oil or watch timers cant be hard to do when the place is dead. Will never hit swansea location again. Should've known better waste of money to a non charitable cause read more

Ordered ahead 10 tacos-and they were ready waiting for me to devour when I pulled up. Thank you for the meal..

Took 10 minutes to get our order taken, and 10-15 more minutes to get our food just to get the completely incorrect food. And they were just sitting and talking and eating food infront of the window. So unprofessional in my opinion. Aswell never got our reciept. read more

When I would get off work in the mornings, I came here once a week. I came to this location because of the GM Deangelo. He always made sure my order was fresh, correct and was extremely friendly. I just learned he was let go. I don't really care why. I know he ran a good ship every morning I encountered him. Quality food with quality service. I guess these places don't mind losing someone who bettered the entire restaurant. Will find out where he went and become a new customer. read more

Messed up my order 4 times and still couldn't get it right. all it was was a number 4 with only ketchup, not hard. waited an hour for incorrect food read more

Horrid. Beyond slow. Out of drinks on a Saturday? WTH? Close your doors. That's a joke. read more

I specifically asked if they had cheese and bacon and was told they had it but, when I got home and went to eat. I discovered that there was no bacon on it as has happened before many times. I should have taken it back for a refund but was already undressed and ready for bed. So I'm leaving this review to express my anger that I was lied to right to my face! I don't recommend this location for it, if they will lie to me about that what else do they lie about? If they knew that they didn't have bacon, they should have told me and not charge me for it! As they should have said they didn't have bacon and only charged me for the regular ultimate cheeseburger instead they charged me for bacon that they didn't have. I live near this location but I will not be going there again!!! read more

Update from 05/30/22 After my last experience, last fall, I made a formal complaint and was contacted by the District MGR, Tonya Holland. She of course, profusely apologized for my encounter with the vulgar, unprofessional manager at this location. She told me to come back and get whatever I wanted from the menu. I explained that I live in GA and that I am only in IL once or twice a year. She then told me that no matter when it is that I return, to go to the O'Fallon location and make them aware that she told me I could be made whole & my order would be fully comp'd. When I went to the O'Fallon location and began explaining my situation to the cashier, she actually remembered the conversation that I had with Tonya because Tonya shared it with the staff. So the cashier proceeded to tell the manager about my situation and this rude, unprofessional manager said well if she had the problem with the Swansea store, she has to go there. I then explained that these were not Tonya's instructions. The rude O'Fallon manager then calls Tonya and she tell me that Tonya said I need to go to the Swansea store. I asked for Tonya Holland's number and called her. I reminded her who I was and she said I needed to travel to the store she was at. I reminded her that she specifically told me to go to the O'FALLON store because my previous experience was so horrible. She then tells me that because my issue was so long ago, she doesn't have any record of the encounter and would be limited in what she could do. I politely told her that based on the rude, unprofessional behavior from two of her managers, I'm not surprised she's not a woman of her word who'd make good on her promise as it seems to be a trend with Jack In The Box! Never ever as long as there is breath in my body will I spend one red cent in any Jack In The Box EVER! read more

My Husband went to get a breakfast sandwich this morning. He placed his order and drove up to the window. When he got to the window, they said "sorry, sir. We are only taking orders from cars today not trucks". What? Why on earth would they only take orders if you are driving a car? read more

Location is terribly understaffed. There is one employee in the entire store in location that happens to be open until midnight. I'm leaving the one star review for the lack of bodies in the building not for the poor employee who had to serve 9 cars at 11:15 pm alone. Shoutout to the guy who worked the night shift April 8th at 11pm ; treat your employees better tha n this !! read more

Jack in the Box - Burgers Near Me - Swansea, Illinois

Went to order through the drive through only for the guy to tell me they are not taking drive through orders and the restaurant was closed to go inside. Be ready to spend 20 minutes waiting for your food even if you order ahead. Kind of defeats the purpose of "fast food" if you can't get it fast. Would not recommend, stay away for sure. You have been warned. read more

Had the T-Pain snack burger melt box, and the only thing I can say is next time I'll order the sandwich on sourdough as the croissant was just too soft. I always order inside and the lobby was clean and orderly. Employees were all clean and pleasant. It's been a while since I visited last, this location appears much improved. Will revisit. read more

Never go here - it's just one of those places. You know the ones. They'll either be out of food or you can sit in the drive-through for an hour while god knows what is happening inside. If this was the last place on earth to get food, I'd rather starve to death. read more

The only reason this is a one star review is I can't give zero. Never staffed properly. I've literally been waiting for a breakfast sandwich for half an hour. This has been a problem for years. whoever owns this franchise should be divested of ownership read more

I've been sitting here for fifteen minutes at the front window waiting for four tacos two drinks and some chicken strips. They just gave us someone else's order then she told us oh no sorry that's not your order took it back from us and was giving it to the person behind us. I am disgusted but looking at these reviews I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Yall don't waste your money I know this just fast food but if it ain't fast tf I'm buying it for. I honestly feel like they have bad microphones there and they couldn't hear us which doesn't help them to work efficiently at all. I promise you it's not worth it I was uncomfortable! Edit: they forgot our curly fries and yall look at these tacos they need to just quit. read more

Jack in the Box - A sad taco - Burgers Near Me - Swansea, Illinois

Placed an order through the app, only for it to be missing... pretty much everything besides dipping sauce. My sauce and loaded triple fries only had cheese and bacon. Fries filling half the box. My burger did not come with ketchup and lettuce, as I had asked. My munchie madness box, along with 2 hash browns are no where to be seen. My jumbo breakfast platter doesn't have syrup for the pancakes. I asked for utensils, only gave napkins. I had called the restaurant like 10+ times to finally get told that the delivery driver forgotten my munchie box and hash browns. Said to come over to get it or go through the app to get a refund. Trusting their word, but found out it isn't as easy to get a refund as I thought. Lesson Learned: NEVER HAVE A BIG ORDER ON BELLEVILLE, ILLINOIS. A common issue with delivery drivers in Belleville is that they forget items. They are in a hurry. Grab one bag and go. Not carrying to check if it's accurate. The order was $57. Which sounds dumb for a fast food place, but this was to feed my partners family and I do no have Jack in the box in Chicago. I am visiting around here and used to love having Jack in the box once every time I visit. But I will no longer be doing that anymore. As a fast food employee, I get things can be stressful. Difficult. You feel rushed. But this is ridiculous. This place has no standards and I wish the last location did not close down. That one at least had standards. I'd give no stars if possible and initially wanted a refund for the munchie box and hash browns, but to be honest. This entire thing is making me sick and want a full refund. read more

Seems that is doesn't matter what store I purchase from They are all basically terrible. I ordered a Deluxe Croissant Combo which totalled $8.48. Not a biggie until you eat this sandwich. It has one egg, and what amounts to one super thinly sliced bacon. But is supposed one thin slice of ham that might as well been paper. The cheese that it suppose to be there was melted/disintegrated into cheese residue. The hash brown was grease soaked. That too seems to be no matter where u get it from, They are all oil ladened. Most of this food went in the trash.. JnB needs to get it together as a company. You ask for almost $9:00 for food that is substandard? Out of all the area food chains you get the all time LOWEST rating. Everyone else's breakfast foods are better than what you sell to customers. If I could have rated this as a ZERO I would have done so... read more

Went here today to pick up a Doordash. I don't want to waste my time with this review. All I can say is... 5 drinks...no drink holder. Waited too long for food. Finally unassigned and moved on. The only reason I gave 2 stars is because they were actually working, just not proficiently. Won't be back for awhile. read more

Just close this location if you can't properly serve customers. This place is always out of critical items. Attitude are always the worst. JUST CLOSE THIS LOCATION! read more

It must be the case that the last time I went to Jack in the Box I was young and very drunk or maybe even under the influence of other things. I say that because I had a memory deep in my head that it was hot, tasty buttery and bad for you in all the right but wrong ways bad for you can be. I even have (maybe false) memory that the service was good. The commercials used to be good, not Carl's Junior good, but sort of funny in the odd way that a guy in a giant Golfball head [not sure I get that] and a suit has to be. Okay enough nostalgia... We went on a late afternoon, like almost 1400. There was no one else around. There were "workers" [only in the figurative sense], camping out on the sidewalk. They went in when we did. I hope they washed their hands, at least a little bit. Anyway we ordered and then many, many, many minutes later. Our food was bagged and shoved at us...and out the door we went. It just wasn't that good. It wasn't buttery, it wasn't greasy. It wasn't fresh (how that happened I have no clue). It was as if your 70 year old aunt had made you fast food. It looked like a burger and fries---but just didn't quite have a burger and fries taste/texture. I wasn't happy, it wasn't even cheap. We won't be back. read more

Drive thru attendant was not friendly and restaurant didn't have several key items in stock. Most likely won't be back. Didn't get a receipt either. Fries were cold. read more

We went in drive threw and the told us to hold on 10 min they had a lot of orders come in so we were fine with waiting but after 30 min we called the speaker and no response we drove off and around to see workers on their phones sitting in the dinning room read more

I ordered a breakfast platter and mocha iced coffee. The food was hot but this is the 4th time this month that they have not provided a receipt!! It is my understanding that this is against IRS rules. I asked for the manager and she rudely said that Jack in the Box is not providing them with any cash register tape because they are closing soon. I am doubtful that any legitimate business would deny cash register tape if they are legally reporting their income. They are a VERY busy place, and---are they paying taxes like the rest of Swansea business owners? read more

Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Rule #1 - if you don't have the product, don't take the order for it at the drive-up Rule #2 - don't make people pull ahead only to wait and wait and wait and wait Rule #3 - don't bring out partial order, tell customer drink not available, and make customer come into store for a refund on the part of the order not delivered Rule #4 - when customer comes in, don't make them wait and wait while you ignore them Rule #5 - when customer asks for manager, don't cop an attitude, be even more rude, tell customer you haven't been rude, and make excuses Rule #6 - don't call a customer a bitch because they want a refund and you're having a bad day due to the complete ineptness of the employees at the location (even if partially under your breath). Some of us have really good hearing. Management needs to be terminated. I guess this is why so many locations go out of business. After a wasted 1/2 hour, I left with no food. No apology. Just anger and frustration at the total lack of any customer service capability. AVOID THIS STORE!!!!! read more

By far the worst location I've been to. Beyond unprofessional and the worst location I've been to..... I don't understand how this franchise owner is allowed to operate this way.. first off when I went threw the drive threw the tacos where frozen... they had me wait 10 minutes for 2 junior bacon burgers and had me pull up to wait in a spot even tho I was the ONLY car in the drive threw. When asked why it's "because where on a timer and I can't let it get to high" was the response I got. She did not like my questioning what the point of the Riemer was if they just worked around it. very dissatisfied with this location and will not return till someone else operated it, clearly the standards of the owner are laughable at best. read more

Went through the drive through this morning. The gentleman was quite friendly, but the food was throw away quality at best. I got the extreme sausage sandwich. It was cold and the sausage patty was dry and hard like a hockey puck, tasted like yesterday's reheated breakfast. If that was my first experience, I would probably never return to a Jack in the box. read more

Honestly the worst. No one is ever there to work and the food that comes out of the freezer is even worse. I just tried to go there thinking it might've changed and gotten better after a year but I went to order and the guy said no one came to relieve him for work and he refused to work any further. Didn't want to turn off the open sign though. read more

We submitted an order through DoorDash and are regular Dash users with the Pandemic and all...I understand it's late, but that doesn't mean give people the wrong order. They did not follow requests to remove condiments, and we were given the wrong sides in place of what we actually ordered. The Large curly fry that we ordered was not even had filled with fries. Your location is open until 2:30a, so the excuse of not wanting to make more food is bull in my opinion. Won't be ordering from here again. read more

Anyone complaining about the quality of the food on here is being ridiculous; it's Jack in the Box; you know exactly what you're getting. However, at this establishment, more often then not you only know what you're TRYING to get. 75% of my trips to this location end with me not being able to place an order. System updates have turned me away more times than I can count. Once I was turned away around midnight for an update... came back 4 hours later and that system was still "updating." When the system isn't miraculously updating anytime between midnight and 4 am then the fryer is down. Either the employees are just kickin back all night or they desperately need a new system and a back up fryer. read more

As a night shift worker in the ER, I typically avoid eating fast food. However, it's seemed like it's been Halloween all week long...every night and we all agreed a high-fat, fried bag of treats was in order. So...we created a list, checked it twice and sent our fast food picking up tribute out to get the goods. Awful. Awful. Awful...and that still doesn't even come close to describing how awful the whole experience actually ended up being. Our fast food picker-upper went through the drive thru, in the pouring rain, which wasn't as big of an issue as the stupidity and sheer laziness he encountered as his truck received an unintentional interior car wash. Our pick up guy was told that they had no egg rolls or tacos because...they were frozen. Seriously? It's a fast food restaurant. If you were cranking out fresh (vs. frozen) tacos and egg rolls I'd need an EKG and my cardiac enzymes checked. Apparently, they were crap out of unsweetened ice tea and spicy curly fries too because those were absent when the order made it back as well. Two people out of the FIVE who'd sent out an order for food actually got food. That food wasn't even good by bad fast food standards. Our pick up dude tried to split the bill and was told that "they couldn't do that." Except they could and they did because when he rolled up to the window (to make the pain stop), he discovered that they HAD split the bill up. In half...to which our driver told them thanks but no thanks and paid for the whole disaster out of his wallet. The story doesn't end there, unfortunately. Upon returning to the ER, there were many cranky and grease craving individuals who learned they weren't getting squat to tide them over until dawn. This spawned a phone call to this establishment (notice the absence of the word fine??) which was also disappointing. The bottom line was it would be "two hours" before any of the items we were unable to order would finally be able to travel from the freezer to the oil vat. Maybe the distance was too far for these purportedly frozen items to travel without an escort...or a passport? We have an expression for that in the ER too...DSP day shift problem. So, a big fat thanks for letting down your local ER staff. You can be sure we'll never return the favor. Additionally, none of us will EVER visit this particular establishment again. Ever. read more

My tacos were not cooked at all... asked for a ultimate cheeseburger with no ketchup and no mustard... burger was full of ketchup and mustard... tacos were not even eatable... read more

This just in.... 9/1/15. The Jack in the Box in Swansea officially SUCKS. I've been eating here for years and never had a problem. Great food,rarely if ever was there a mistake on my order and always prompt,friendly service. No more. In the last 6 months or so EVERYTHING about this place went straight into the toilet. I've had 5 meals there in the last 2 months and every damn order either had a mistake or took more than 5 minutes to arrive,not to mention the food tasted like it had been sitting under a lamp for a while. I even went inside to eat to make sure it wasn't just the drive thru. Wrong. The inside is filthy and the workers don't seem to care about much of anything. I wasn't the only annoyed customer either. On one trip in after a messed up drive thru meal I was 3rd in line behind 2 other people with screwed up orders. I'm done. Jack in the box is way too expensive for such a crappy experience. I'll go to O'Fallon or Belleville next time and take my chances. read more

Literally the worst fast food experience ever. I get it, we were there at 2:50am, 10 minutes before closing. But come on! We pulled up and they immediately told us their system shuts down at 3. That's fine because it shouldn't take us THAT long to order. Then they said they're out of cheese, taco stuff, and a few other things. WHO RUNS OUT OF CHEESE??! We waited 20 minutes for our food in the drive thru. We were shorted a cheeseburger, my sandwich was missing avocado (so I paid for a specialty sandwich when I got a really crappy chicken sandwich). It was really obvious that the 2 workers did everything in their power to get us to just leave and not order. NEVER AGAIN!!!! No more Jack in the Box for the rest of my life! (Or at least until I'm drunk again and lose my ability to make good decisions.) read more

i don't go to this anymore because one workers are stupid and have lousy customer service. I came in and was by the register but apparently not in front of it. No one greeted or even asked what i wanted to order. I stood there for 10 minutes unsure why i just stood there waiting to be attended to, then someone else came in that was white and right away the girl helped that person. I guess being an asian doesn't quite get what you want. Where are you going to find good customer service anymore. Just sad world we live in now. read more

Huge advert for Dr. Pepper... Out of Dr.Pepper. I came in for a breakfast burrito... Out of tortillas. Lobby was absolutely filthy. Didn't even want to set my 6 month old's car seat down for fear of catching something. Businesswas slow.. Not even 1 drive thru customer.. But staff had time to hang out in the back and laugh and carry on. My school of thought is if you have time to lean, you have time to clean.. This restaurant needs new management. Will not return. read more

We went through drive thru for breakfast this morning. I think it would of taken less time for me to go to store buy ingredients and make the breakfast for amount of time we waited in line. The lady taking order was rude. My husband was middle of ordering and she barked at him to stop and to start over. There was a sign that said you order a large combo you get a free cardinal bobble head so we got hubby's combo large. We asked for it at window and she stared at us blankly and said we don't get bobble head with breakfast combos. We opened food and taco looked like it had been under heat lamp for past week and croissant sandwich was pitiful. Husband's Ultimate breakfast sandwich was too salty for him to finish and hash brown was dripping in grease. Food is horrible but if you want a HUGE soda this is place! read more

Place is a joke, if they mess up your order just prepare for the employees to stare at you with confusion. No manners, no please and thanks for coming. They hand you a bag and walk away. Everyone looks miserable as if they have better things to do than work. Officially done with this hole in the wall excuse for a restaurant. Ya'll can have it! As for there food quality, it lacks thereof just like the attitude. read more

Not once, but TWICE today our order was wrong. The first time today I spent over 20 min in the drive through only for our order to be wrong and missing items. I'm not sure if we were charged for said items or not as I was not even given a receipt-for a debit card purchase mind you. Went this evening on my way home from work as this is one of very few fast food places(or ANY food place) still open at that time of night-spent OVER 10 min in drive through before order was even taken. And and even longer waiting to pay. I was behind ONE car mind you. Guess what. The order was wrong. AGAIN. My debit card was dropped when I handed it to the girl at the window and ended up under my car. All of the condiments requested were missing. Order was wrong. And-ONCE AGAIN-NO receipt so I had no number to call to inform them of the mistake in the order or order # to tell them. How convenient. Good job jack In the box!! read more
