The Jack in the Box Sauced & Loaded Waffle Fries are making their debut as a limited-edition menu item that's expected to be a hit amongst customers with a penchant for spicy, textural fare. The side dish starts off with the brand's waffle-cut fries that are toped with a nacho cheese sauce, cheddar cheese, buttermilk ranch and crumbled bacon. The fries also come in the Spicy Sauced & Loaded Waffles Fries, which see the buttermilk ranch swapped out for Spicy Good Good Sauce along with pickled jalapeño slices sprinkled overtop.

The Jack in the Box Sauced & Loaded Waffle Fries are priced around $4 and are available now at participating locations, but are only around to end winter and welcome spring through April 7, 2025.
