Don't go here too often, generally stick with the golden arches just the other side of the well-trimmed mock orange murrayas. They're beautiful this time of year, and bring in all manner of both birdlife and tropical insects. Broke with tradition the other day, and went with two mates. Funnily enough, they're both named Jack. Jack P and Jack M. We reached the counter and were served by a lovely young lady who looked like a cross between Billy Eilish and James Mathison, who used to co-host Australian Idol. When she asked what we wanted, I turned to my mates and asked them "are you hungry, Jacks?" They replied in unison: "yes!". The comma is evident when typed, but something was lost through the spoken word. This seemed to trigger the young lady, who spun around in circles and screeched "no you're not, we are!!!" Absolute scenes. Anyway, she refused to serve us after that, and both my mates were absolutely famished. Hungry, so to speak. So we went back to their house (they live together - stictly Platonic) and Jack P cooked mad patties on his Baby Weber, and we devoured them between top-notch brioche buns while watching several re-runs of Jake Paul v Mike Tyson. Absolutely amazing, no regrets, and we were satisfied - not least of all the two starving housemates. Moral of the story is: the burgers ARE better at hungry Jacks'.
Also, does anyone know what happened to James Mathison? He had the whole world in his palm and then just disappeared. I hope he is ok basking in his former limelight at a bar in Bali, where he signs headshots of Osher "Andy G" Gunsberg for Bintangs from Aussie tourists. Any update on his wellbeing would be much...
Read moreComplete and utter lack of service. Went in whilst moving house for lunch and asked if they have the whopper deal on TV. The girl serving me checked and said yes. Placed my order and got my drinks then a guy dresses in managers uniform came up and said "if you want fries you have to pay extra". I looked around to figure out who he's talking to... Me! I said I've already paid as I had. He then said "we don't do that deal anymore so if you want fries you have to pay". No excuse me.. no apology that THEY had made the mistake in selling me a deal they no longer do. Extremely rude. Told him as a matter of principle I'll take my money back and take my business elsewhere. So he practically chucked my money at the counter and said in a sarcastic tone "good bye, see you next time". I was shocked at the horrid treatment by a so called manager who obviously has no idea how people should be treated. I've never been treated in such a degrading and humiliating way for a mistake made by them. In fact at Mc Donalds and KFC if they make a mistake they apologise and even some times give you free fries or something, not ask you to pay for their error and try to humiliate you in front of all their other customers. Disgusting treatment. Would never go...
Read moreRequested a large chips with NO CHICKEN SALT (as have allergy to MSG) in drive through. I said I wanted them hot this time please. ... went on to paying counter .... specifically said again NO CHICKEN SALT and hot. There was a bit of talk behind scenes and I was asked to wait in WAITING spot; I said "not a problem, I don't mind waiting as long as they are HOT and have NO CHICKEN SALT". I felt like a broken record, but had been let down before. I was assured the chips would be cooked to my special request. Guess what ... they were hot & fresh as I had a couple straight away, thought I could taste a trace of chicken salt... thought it may have been the residue from previous chips cooked, so went on my way; I didn't realise until I was a few minutes away but the further I got into the chips the more I realised they were smothered in CHICKEN SALT. I was so tempted to turn around and take them back, but I was on a mission to get home. I suffered sinus pain and sneezing all the way home ... 75klms. this was at least the 3rd time I had the same request ..... 3rd time simple order was stuffed up. Thanks Hungry Jacks ..... I won't be...
