Jack in the Box Hours: Opening & Closing Times + Holiday Schedule

There is no single set of hours. Jack in the Box lists them restaurant by restaurant, and its own FAQ answers the question only by pointing to the location finder and the mobile app. Each restaurant also lists its drive-thru and its lobby separately. On November 10, 2026 we looked at 24 official restaurant pages across 6 states to see the range: Where a drive-thru did not show the same open and close time, it opened between 4 AM and 8 AM and closed between 10 PM and 3 AM. Lobbies that did not show the same open and close time opened between 5 AM and 8 AM. Those lobbies usually closed between 7 PM and midnight. That is a convenience sample, not a statistic for the chain, so use the official page for your own restaurant.

Some restaurants look like it, but not all. 16 of the 24 official pages we reviewed show the drive-thru as 4:00 AM to 4:00 AM on every day, and 2 show it on some days. The other 6 never show it that way and close the drive-thru between 10 PM and 3 AM. The locator never uses the words "24 hours", so we describe what it shows rather than promise it. Only 4 of the 24 show the lobby that way on every day. If you are making a late-night trip, phone the restaurant first.

It depends on the restaurant. In the 24 official pages we reviewed, 4 usually close the lobby at midnight, 12 at 10 PM, 4 at 9 PM or earlier, and 4 show 4:00 AM to 4:00 AM. The lobby was the shorter window on at least one day in 18 of them, so if you want to eat inside, check the lobby schedule rather than the drive-thru one.

Often, yes. In 18 of the 24 official pages we reviewed, the lobby window was shorter than the drive-thru window on at least one day, and in none of them was the drive-thru the shorter one. The brand's locator lists the two as separate schedules, and a trade-press profile of the company says dining rooms close late at night while drive-thrus stay open.

Yes, according to the brand's own restaurant pages: the full menu, breakfast included, is served all day. That means breakfast is available whenever your restaurant is open, drive-thru or lobby. Our menu lists 19 breakfast items, and the nutrition facts page has their calories.

Jack in the Box publishes no chain-wide Thanksgiving schedule, so there is no official yes or no. Thanksgiving Day is Thursday, November 26, 2026 (2027: Thursday, November 25, 2027). Each restaurant sets its own hours, so open the official page for the restaurant you plan to visit, read the drive-thru and the lobby separately, and phone if the page does not make the day clear.

Nobody outside the restaurants can say for every location, and the brand has not published a schedule. Published holiday guides disagree. One says all locations are generally closed on Christmas Day. Others say Christmas Day is location-specific and that some restaurants stay open. Neither claim comes from the brand. Christmas Day is Friday, December 25, 2026 (2027: Saturday, December 25, 2027). Check your restaurant's own page on the day before, and phone if it is unclear.

There is no published chain-wide schedule for any of them. Christmas Eve is Thursday, December 24, 2026, New Year's Eve is Thursday, December 31, 2026 and New Year's Day is Friday, January 1, 2027. On days like these a restaurant's closing time may differ from a normal day, so check the closing time for the drive-thru and the lobby separately.

Because most restaurants are run by franchisees. At September 28, 2025, 1,986 of 2,136 Jack in the Box restaurants (93%) were franchised, and the company's annual report says franchisees manage their businesses independently and are responsible for day-to-day operations. We have not seen the brand state why a given restaurant's hours differ, so we do not guess.

Use the official location finder or the Jack in the Box app, search your city or ZIP code, and open your restaurant's page. Read the drive-thru and lobby schedules separately, check the exact day you are going, and use the phone number on that page if anything is unclear. This site does not show live hours and does not store any restaurant's schedule.

Menus, hours and holiday plans change, so confirm with your restaurant before you travel.
