A Jumbo Jack costs $6.49, the Ultimate Cheeseburger is $7.49, and the Sourdough Jack is $7.49. Here is the full Jack in the Box menu with 2026 prices.

Jack in the Box Menu Prices (2026)#

Burgers#

The Sourdough Jack is Jack's most distinctive burger: two beef patties, Swiss cheese, tomato, bacon, and mayo on grilled sourdough bread (not a standard bun). The sourdough bread adds a buttery, slightly tangy quality that elevates the sandwich above standard fast food burgers.

The Ultimate Cheeseburger (two beef patties, two slices of American cheese, mayo, ketchup, pickles, onion, mustard) is a calorie-dense indulgence at $7.49 and 990 calories — one of the largest calorie-per-dollar burgers in fast food.

Famous Tacos (The Legend)#

The 2 Tacos for $1.99 is the most famous value deal in fast food history. These are small deep-fried flour tortilla shells filled with a seasoned beef and American cheese mixture, topped with lettuce and taco sauce. They are not traditional tacos — they are something distinct: a crunchy, greasy, deeply satisfying item that has generated a cult following for decades. West Coast fast food regulars consider them a rite of passage. At $1 per taco, they are the cheapest hot food item at any major fast food chain.

Chicken Sandwiches#

Chicken Strips & Nuggets#

Breakfast (Served 24 Hours)#

One of Jack in the Box's primary differentiators: full breakfast menu available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The 24-hour breakfast is a genuine competitive advantage — being able to get a Breakfast Jack at 2 AM or 6 PM is unique among major chains. The Breakfast Jack ($3.29) is the best value — a fried egg, Canadian ham, and American cheese on a hamburger bun for under $3.50.

Sides & Extras#

Egg Rolls: Jack in the Box is the only major fast food chain serving egg rolls. Crispy fried egg rolls with cabbage, carrots, and seasoned pork filling. A genuine fast food anomaly and a beloved West Coast order.

Mini Churros: Five fried dough sticks with cinnamon sugar, under $2. Best cheap dessert at Jack in the Box.

Best Items at Jack in the Box#

1. 2 Tacos for $1.99 — The most famous value deal in fast food. These are not traditional tacos but an entirely unique Jack in the Box creation. Get two every visit regardless of what else you order. The crunchy-greasy-cheesy combination is an acquired taste that becomes habit-forming.

2. Sourdough Jack — $7.49. The best burger on the menu. Grilled sourdough bread (not a standard bun), two beef patties, Swiss cheese, tomato, and bacon. The sourdough elevates this above every other Jack in the Box burger and makes it competitive with premium fast food.

3. Breakfast Jack — $3.29. The best value breakfast sandwich in fast food. Fried egg, Canadian ham, American cheese, hamburger bun. 360 calories. Available 24/7. At 2 AM after a late night, it's a top-tier option.

4. Egg Rolls (3 pc) — $4.49. Jack in the Box's most unique menu item. The only egg rolls at a major fast food chain. Deep-fried and served with sweet and sour sauce. A must-order side if you've never tried them.

5. Curly Fries — $2.49. Seasoned spiral-cut fries with onion and garlic powder. Better than the standard natural-cut fries and a differentiator vs. McDonald's and Burger King.

Late Night at Jack in the Box#

Jack in the Box's 24-hour drive-through positioning is its primary competitive advantage. Unlike McDonald's and Burger King (which serve limited overnight menus), Jack in the Box operates the full menu day and night:

• After 10 PM: Full menu including breakfast items, egg rolls, tacos, and milkshakes all simultaneously available.
• 2 AM: The 2 Tacos + Breakfast Jack combination is one of the best late-night fast food orders.
• Morning shift workers: Full dinner menu available at 6 AM, unlike other breakfast-only chains.

Is Jack in the Box Worth It in 2026?#

At $6.49–$7.49 for signature burgers, Jack in the Box is mid-tier pricing comparable to McDonald's and Wendy's. The 2 Tacos for $1.99 is the single best fast food value deal in the US by cost-per-calorie (500 calories for $1.99). The Sourdough Jack is a legitimate premium burger at a reasonable price. The 24/7 full-menu availability is the clearest differentiator. If you're in the western US, especially California, Jack in the Box is the late-night fast food default. If you've never tried the famous 2 Tacos, that alone is worth a visit — they're a genuine American fast food cultural artifact.
