REVIEW: Jack in the Box Outlaw Burger

Jack in the Box Outlaw Burger

Eating the Jack in the Box Outlaw Burger really does make me feel like an outlaw, if being an outlaw means not listening to the recommendations of my doctor who says I should avoid eating things like the Jack in the Box Outlaw Burger.

YEEHAW!

If you happen to find yourself at a Jack in the Box, you can rustle either the Outlaw Burger, Outlaw Spicy Chicken Sandwich, or if sodium intake is no object, both. I chose the Outlaw Burger because, according to a t-shirt I read, real outlaws eat beef. Also, according to t-shirts I’ve read, a lot of women are bitches.

YEEHAW!

The Jack in the Box Outlaw Burger is constructed using a beef patty topped with onion rings, two slices of American cheese, hickory smoked bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and bourbon BBQ sauce on a sesame seed bun. Jack in the Box claims the Outlaw Burger is new, but I think Jack getting hit by a bus in 2009 made him forget the Outlaw Burger was originally introduced in 2006. Even though this blog was around then (when it and I were much skinnier), I never tried it.

In a previous review, I mentioned I didn’t think too highly of Jack’s bourbon BBQ sauce, but for some strange reason I like it in the Outlaw Burger. Although, I do wish the person who made my sandwich squirted on a little more BBQ sauce.

Despite the inadequate BBQ sauce squirtage and ordinary Jack in the Box beef patty, I really enjoyed the Jack in the Box Outlaw Burger. There were decent-sized bacon strips, which were, surprisingly, crispy and provided a little smoky flavor. The onion rings added a bit of crunchiness, but the onion flavor could’ve been stronger. As for the two slices of American cheese…well, they allow the burger to contain four of the five USDA food groups and, looking at the photo above, they’re also the glue that prevents the onion rings and bacon from falling out of the burger.

YEEHAW!

The Outlaw Burger is probably one of the better tasting burgers Jack in the Box currently offers. Sadly, it’s only available for a limited time. So while it’s here, I’m going to ride with an Outlaw Burger, and maybe die with an Outlaw Burger.

YEEHAW!

Pros: One of the better tasting burgers at Jack in the Box. OMG! The bacon actually turned out decent. Bourbon BBQ sauce with this burger. Eating it makes me feel like an outlaw. YEEHAW!
Cons: Needed more BBQ sauce. Onion rings needed to bring more flavor. Not new. Contains trans fat. Great source of sodium and saturated fat. Pulling quotes from Lonesome Dove.

    1. Sadly, I did not. But I did wear a bandanna over my face and kill a guy in a gun duel at sun down after I ate one.

  1. Is there a burger chain that puts onion rings on a burger and DOESN’T also include BBQ sauce? I hate being that special order lady but I’m anti-BBQ sauce on anything other than BBQ.

    1. Carl’s jr has a ranch bacon cheeseburger with an onion ring in it. Some branches promote it for .99+tax

  2. yeesh where do you live, i just did a twitter search on outlaw burger and this site came up so i have no clue the contenst of this site…i ask where you live b/c the combo where i am . (L.A., CA) is only 5.49 ..and its soo funny you mention the sauce b/c although i did enjoy the burger ..mine had wayyyyyy tooo much bourbon bbq sauce it was literally dripping off the burger

  3. Some info above is inacurate. The Outlaw Burger debuted in 1994 with the greatest JBX commercial and song ever. It also didnt have lettuce or tomato. It went something like this: He was a giant of a man; a friend of none. When he rode into town, he blocked out the sun. I said Im hungry Jack, I need a change of pace. Make it big make it good–wipe that smile of your face….(Outlaw Burger) So I took 2 quarter pound patties, melted cheese, onion rings, 2 big strips of bacon and that bbq sauce brought him to his knees…he said Ive gotta have one Jack. And I said you better say please. (OUTLAW BURGER YAW!)
