The vegan options at Jack in the Box are getting better (at certain locations). What you definitely have available is a Teriyaki Bowl that needs a little modifying, a side salad, a few fried* options and plenty of sauces.
Jack in the box had tested a Jack’s Unchicken in a few locations in California (Monterey and Salinas) and in Reno, NV.
They also tested and from what we’re hearing have begun expanding the locations of their Impossible Burger. We are waiting to hear back about whether the bun is vegan though.
If you are near these locations we strongly encourage you to show Jack in the Box that vegan options on their menu is great for their bottom line!

Jack in the Box Vegan FAQ
Are Jack in the Box fries vegan?
The fries themselves are vegan. Like most fast food places, the fries may share a fryer with non-vegan food. So it really just depends on how you feel about cross-contamination.
Personally, I (Ryan) am ok with some potential cross-contamination. I kind of know that’s what I’m signing up for when I grab fast food, but we want you to be aware of it in case that is a deal-breaker for you.
Are Jack in the Box Tacos Vegan?
The taco shells themselves are technically vegan, but they are shipped to the stores with the meat already in the tacos. Then, all the tacos (each variety) are all fried together, shells with the meat.
If you’d like more info, we did a deep dive on Jack on the Box tacos and how and why they’re not vegan.
Does Jack in the Box have vegan burgers?
