Sutter's Mill...still around and good when I was there. Garcia's Mexican?

I wish we had an In N Out around here. I heard the are coming, though!

It's not going to happen. They're a family-owned operation and they're only in the states around California as of now.

It's a shame

There were Jack in the boxes in Commack and Centereach we used to call it yack in the crack! I think they are on the east coast of Fla still?

Last time I had Sutters Mills chesse fries was in 1991 -- we stopped at the Albany location on the way home from Lake George. MY husband thought I was nuts until he had the fries. LOL

My friend is in CA and has mentioned In N Out but I never went there when I visited -- OOPS!

You never know. There's a Fatburger in Massapequa.

In and Out's totally different than that, though. I believe the owners have stated on many occasions that they wouldn't open locations that aren't close to California

JIB had a location in Nassau... corner of Old Country Road and South Oyster Bay Road in Plainview.

Here's another oldie.... WETSONS! The one in Hicksville is now a Pearle Vision, and the Syosset location is Burger King on Jericho Turnpike.

Man, what I wouldn't give for a Jack's taco.

Yes it was on the corner of 112 and Terryville Road. My brother and I used to go there all the time. They didnt have a "super taco" it was called a Taco Grande - and to this day I've never seen another place serving extra-long tacos. They used to have Taco-Tuesday, which I think was buy two get one free. Nothing better than a deep-fried Taco. That store was always pretty grimey but the tacos were simplistic and great. There was a guy and his mother who used to work there all time, he looked like Prince but blonde. But then again, it was the late 1980's early 1990's so alot of people looked like Prince. Ha. Either way, they were nice people. That store probably closed down in maybe 1993.

I always thought it was weird that it was called Jack's not Jack-In-the-Box.

Here is a great link I once found for a Jack-In-The-Box taco recipe. I've made it and it certainly fulfilled my 15+ year taco-abstinance. Jack-in-the-Box Tacos Recipe : Recipezaar

There was a time maybe around 2003 when Burger King was selling tacos. I know, it sounds weird. They sold them for less than a year. But the tacos were exactly the same as Jack's tacos.

My goodness sir, we must have been separated at birth.

When Burger King brought back the deep fried death pockets, I thought I was back in heaven!! I hadn't had a fried taco since Jacks closed back in the mid 90's in PJ Station.

They stopped selling them in about a month. LOL!!

I remember this goofy guy who looked like Steve Erkel used to work there. LOL.

We used to call it "Jack and the B-Fish," as the OX in "box" looked like a little fish.
