West Coast burger fans in Florida, rejoice! While many have dreamed of an In-N-Out Burger making its way to the Sunshine State, another iconic West Coast chain is beating them to the punch. Jack In The Box is making a comeback, and its first new Florida location is planned for Orlando’s rapidly growing Lake Nona area.

The big news: Jack In The Box will be opening a 24-hour, 2,000-square-foot location at 10105 William Carey Drive in Lake Nona, complete with 22 seats for those who prefer to dine in. This new spot is part of the chain’s larger expansion into Florida, with plans to also open in Tallahassee.

For those who don’t know, Jack In The Box isn’t a stranger to Florida. Back in the 1970s, the chain had 279 locations across the Southeast, according to Burger Beast. But over time, those locations were sold or closed, leaving Floridians without their fix of the brand’s famous comfort foods. Fast forward to 2024, and Jack In The Box is ready to make its return—much to the delight of its fans.

So, what can you expect? Jack In The Box serves up a variety of fast food favorites, from burgers and fried chicken to eggrolls, fries, onion rings, and their legendary tacos. CBS even called their taco “arguably the best fast food item ever invented,” and at just 172 calories, it’s an affordable indulgence. Speaking of affordable, their value menu includes two tacos for just 99 cents, a bacon junior cheeseburger for $1.39, and a chicken sandwich for $1.29.

What’s more, this Jack In The Box won’t be lonely. It’s set to be near some other popular spots, including Dunkin, Firehouse Subs, and Culver's, creating a little fast food haven in the Lake Nona area.

So, if you’ve been craving some West Coast fast food vibes, keep an eye on this new Jack In The Box—it’s set to bring something a little different to the Florida fast food scene. Whether you’re stopping in for a burger, some chicken nuggets, or those famous tacos, you’ll soon have a 24-hour spot to satisfy your cravings!
