I tried Snoop Dogg's new meal at Jack in the Box and I'd order it again just for the curly fries and brownie (2024)

Snoop Dogg recently joined forces with Jack in the Box to launch his own special meal at the fast-food chain.

I sat down with Snoop Dogg on the set of his new Jack in the Box commercial to learn more about Snoop's Munchie Meal (and his thoughts on Martha Stewart's thirst traps).

The $14 Snoop's Munchie Meal, which is available until August 6, comes with the Spicy Sauced and Loaded Chicken Sando, a crunchy taco, medium curly fries, Jack's Baked Brownie, and a medium drink.

Snoop Dogg told me he's been a fan of Jack in the Box for decades and wanted to help create a meal that reflected both him and the California-based brand.

"Jack in the Box, they wanted to add some Snoop Dogg to what they already doing," he said. "The brownie is the flavor that represents me most. And then they got all of their particular flavors with the taco, the fries, the chicken sandwich."

"It's a bunch of good stuff that you would eat in those late-night hours," he added. "'Cause we know munchies is definitely a late-night meal."

To help launch Snoop's Munchie Meal, the rapper got his own Jack in the Box restaurant in Los Angeles. Obviously, I had to check it out.

Renamed Dogg in tha Box, the special pop-up restaurant ran from June 30 to July 2 at the 1220 Centinela Avenue location of Jack in the Box in LA's Inglewood neighborhood.

Since I only live 20 minutes away, I thought Dogg in tha Box would be the perfect place to review Snoop's Munchie Meal.

A black-and-gold throne greeted me as I walked into the restaurant.

Fans were allowed to sit and take pictures on "Snoop's throne" during the pop-up experience.

Purple lamps hung from the ceiling, and the walls and windows were covered with posters of Snoop Dogg.

I went to the pop-up just after 1 p.m. on Friday and was shocked it wasn't more crowded. But many diners looked excited as they walked into the restaurant, happily taking photos with all the Snoop Dogg posters.

I overheard one of the cashiers telling a customer that lines to get into the pop-up had been around the block the night before. In true Snoop style, the real party started after the sun went down.

I ordered Snoop's Munchie Meal, which came with a free Snoopadelic Shake.

The Snoopadelic Shake — which was made specially for the pop-up — paid tribute to Snoop Dogg's love for creamsicles by blending vanilla soft-serve ice cream with orange juice.

I was such a huge fan of the Snoopadelic Shake. It had a deliciously sweet and creamy texture, and the flavors of the orange juice and vanilla worked perfectly together. It really tasted like a creamsicle!

I loved the shake so much, I finished most of it before my meal came out and haven't been able to stop thinking about it since. This needs to be on Jack in the Box's permanent menu ASAP.

After a few minutes, my Snoop's Munchie Meal was ready.

The box matched the black-and-purple color scheme used throughout Snoop Dogg's LA pop-up.

I opened the box to find that everything inside had been individually wrapped, except for the curly fries.

I couldn't wait to dig in!

I immediately started munching on the curly fries.

As a California girl born and raised, I grew up with Jack in the Box and am no stranger to its incredible curly fries. Delightfully golden and crispy on the outside, deliciously soft on the inside, and seasoned to perfection, they remain the best french fries in the fast-food game (especially when paired with Jack in the Box's barbecue sauce). I finished them even faster than the shake!

My only complaint is that, for a $14 meal, there should've been more fries in the box.

Next up was the crunchy taco.

Jack in the Box's taco features beef, melted American cheese, shredded lettuce, and the chain's signature taco sauce.

I love Jack in the Box's tiny tacos (which remind me of taquitos) but don't usually order its regular-size tacos. So I was delightfully surprised by the taco in my Snoop's Munchie Meal, which lived up to its name with some delicious beef and a satisfying crunch.

Then it was time to try the Spicy Sauced and Loaded Chicken Sando.

The Spicy Sauced and Loaded Chicken Sando (yes, that's really its full name) comes with two all-white meat spicy chicken strips, bacon crumbles, french fries, white cheese sauce, Jack in the Box's Good Good sauce, and ranch — all on a brioche bun.

My favorite part of the sandwich was the chicken strips. They were juicy and tender and had a nice kick of heat that really amped up their flavor.

The sandwich was really cheesy, but I didn't love how the white-cheese sauce paired with the bacon crumbles and Good Good sauce. Everything tasted quite heavy together, especially with the fluffy brioche bun, and took away from how delicious the chicken tasted.

Jack in the Box tried a similar flavor profile with its Spicy Cluck'n Sourdough — a limited-edition sandwich that I loved — but used cheddar instead of white cheese. I think cheddar would've worked better with the chicken and bacon in the Spicy Sauced and Loaded Chicken Sando, and swapping brioche for sourdough could have added more texture.

But something cheesy and heavy is definitely fitting for a late-night craving, so I have no doubt this will be enjoyed by many after a big night out.

Last but not least was Jack's Baked Brownie.

It felt fitting that "Doggy Dogg World" began blasting on the speakers as I bit into the brownie, which was inspired by Snoop.

The brownie felt cold to the touch, and I was worried that it might be super hard and chewy. But my fears quickly disappeared as I sunk my teeth into it.

Jack's Baked Brownie is sweet, fudgy, and gooey. The dark-chocolate flavor keeps it from being too sweet, and the extra chocolate chips that were sprinkled throughout added some nice crunch. This is a brownie that'll definitely satisfy any sweet tooth, no matter the hour.

Dogg in tha Box was a blast, and — much like its creator — Snoop's Munchie Meal is full of hits.

Celebrity fast-food partnerships are everywhere nowadays, but I loved how creative Snoop Dogg and Jack in the Box's collaboration was. The LA pop-up felt true to the rapper's roots, and I loved almost every part of Snoop's Munchie Meal (especially the Snoopadelic Shake).

Now all I need to know is, what did Martha Stewart think?
