To celebrate its 75th anniversary this year, the burger chain has brought back the Hot Mess Burger due to its strong following. According to the food-focused social media page Snackolator, “Jack in the Box is about to be a hot mess with the return of their Hot Mess burger and all-new Munchie Meal!”

The Hot Mess Burger will return at Jack in the Box joints on February 16 for a limited-time period. The burger features a white cheese sauce with shredded pepper jack cheese, jalapenos, and onion rings on sourdough bread.

Customers will be able to purchase the Hot Mess Burger on its own, but Jack in the Box is also offering it as part of an all-new Munchie Meal.

Flavor and Fun Arrive in New Munchie Meal

The Hot Mess Burger is the main attraction, but the Munchie Meal adds extra buzz with a collectible novelty item. The meal box includes a Jack in the Box antenna head miniature figurine with long, rock-inspired hair.

The Hot Mess Munchie Meal is designed for late-night cravings and includes several classic Jack in the Box menu items. In addition to the Hot Mess Burger, the meal comes with two tacos, crisp curly fries, and a drink.

The chain is well-known for its burger combos and tacos; some of the popular items on the menu include the Homestyle Ranch Chicken Club Combo and the Grilled Chicken Teriyaki Protein Bowl Combo.

By reviving a popular burger and pairing it with a collectible item, Jack in the Box continues to strengthen its reputation for creative, cherished fan offerings.
