- Replies 0
There’s something special about a comeback—especially when it involves food that stirs up fond memories and satisfies cravings you didn’t even realize you missed.
Whether it’s a comforting bite from your college days, a late-night drive-thru favorite, or a shared indulgence with friends during road trips, certain menu items leave a lasting impression.
They become more than just meals—they become moments.
And this summer, Jack in the Box is bringing back one of those legendary favorites.
It’s the return of a mouthwatering classic that fans have been asking about for years—and this time, it’s coming with a bold new twist, thanks to a high-profile collaboration that’s turning up the flavor and the fun.
A late-night legend makes a comeback
Fans have been asking, and Jack in the Box finally delivered.
The much-loved Chick-N-Tater Melt is returning for a limited time, and it’s headlining the new T-Pain Munchie Meal—a partnership with Grammy-winning artist T-Pain.
Known for its over-the-top ingredients and satisfying flavor, the Chick-N-Tater Melt earned a cult following before it quietly disappeared from the menu.
Now, thanks to this celebrity collab, it’s back and better than ever!

What’s in the T-Pain Munchie Meals?
Starting May 29 through July 27, customers can choose between two new Munchie Meals, both of which are available in-store, online, or through the Jack app.
Each comes with a main sandwich, a taco, curly fries, a stuffed cookie, and a regular-sized drink—playfully labeled a "drank" in honor of T-Pain’s famous song from 2007, "Buy You a Drank.".
Here’s the breakdown:
As a fun extra, each meal includes a limited-edition T-Pain air freshener.
No word yet on the scent—though we’re hoping it’s more bakery-fresh than drive-thru leftovers!

- The Chick-N-Tater Melt Munchie Meal includes a crispy chicken patty, hickory-smoked bacon, hash brown, melted Swiss and Cheddar cheese, cheese sauce, and ranch, all layered on a buttery croissant.
- The Burg-R-Tater Melt Munchie Meal swaps out the chicken for a seasoned beef patty but keeps all the other fixings intact.
