Very sad when they left town, one of the only FF joints open late night to feed the "last call" crowd.
Did you have one in your neighborhood, if so, where???

There were two in Southgate. The one at Fort and Pennsylvania just became Checker's after serving as other businesses and the one at Allen and Goddard is currently JOA Sushi.
For those of you who still miss JITB, the Qdoba chain who has an outpost out by Southland and has been advertising heavily on billboards, buses and television is owned by JITB.
Mack and Van Dyke baby!

Detroit side of 8 and Ryan. Late, late night inebriated chow run...
Hover and 13 mile 1976 any drug you want, fried taco to.
12 and schooner building still there selling flowers.
There was one on the SE corner of Mack & Chene.
There was one at 13 & Woodward, across from Beaumont.
There was one on 13 Mile Road at Utica Road in Roseville. They had the BEST breakfast sandwich! Made with a soft hamburger type bun instead of a biscuit or muffin. I used to stop there several mornings a week on my way to work.
Plymouth and Evergreen Rd. now a Coney Island
Ford Rd. and Westwood St. became a Silverman's Resturant now a mini mall.
Michigan Ave and Outer Drive now a Tubby's.
I think there was one at 10 mile and Kelly.
SW corner of Warren and Beech-Daly Roads, Dearborn Heights, now a liquor store:

Telegraph Road north of Wick in Taylor, now a florist shop. My wife worked at this one when she was in high school:

Wasn't there another JITB in Taylor on Eureka at I-75 in front of the now-demolished "The Plaza" which was torn down for a bank that's now a Sprint store?Telegraph Road north of Wick in Taylor, now a florist shop. My wife worked at this one when she was in high school:

The site is not far from the Southland Qdoba-the connection being JITB owns Qdoba.
Not sure. I didn't hang around Taylor much until I started dating my wife; JITBs were gone by then.
Other than a handful of stores in the Dallas area, JITB is now pretty much concentrated in Southern California and bordering Arizona and Nevada areas. They used to be nationwide.
Mack ave just down the street from Red Barn
My favorite west coast graffiti- what ever happened to Rodney Allen Rippey?
Billboard- Check your bonus Jack.
Love it. Always a tough choice between the burger or tacos. Its always my second stop when I hit the west coast after In n Out Burger.
Out in the northern burbs there was one on Orchard Lk Rd a little south of 12 Mile that I remember quickly closed in the late 70s after a kid died from eating an e-coli tainted burger at JITB in California. I don't know if these 2 events were related, but as I remember it was one of the last ones around metro Detroit that I remember seeing.
Very related. The E-Coli deaths killed JITB's eastern expansion.Out in the northern burbs there was one on Orchard Lk Rd a little south of 12 Mile that I remember quickly closed in the late 70s after a kid died from eating an e-coli tainted burger at JITB in California.

Out west, where they were well established, they've survived.
Two Tacos for $0.99. And they're heavenly. I also hit them right after I&O Burgers after landing on the west coast.
I think there is always a chance of a comeback given the right conditions. I would change the image to reflect 2016 a bit more though.
How about they call it "Jack Outside the Box' ?
Come to think of it, why not put one in the new Casino in Greektown, whose name seems to escape me...
