Jack’s Family Restaurants has introduced a new menu item that’s already drawing comparisons to a longtime KFC favorite.
In late March, the Alabama-based fast food chain rolled out its new Loaded Fried Chicken Bowl. This hearty addition brings together some of the restaurant’s most popular ingredients into a single, flavor-packed meal.
According to Jack’s official website, the bowl includes hand-breaded chicken fingers, crispy bacon, buttered corn, mashed potatoes, and white pepper gravy—a combination that closely resembles KFC’s Famous Bowl, though Jack’s version uses white gravy instead of KFC’s signature brown.
Mixed Reactions from Fans
Since its debut, customer feedback has been a mix of praise and suggestions. Some fans took to Facebook to share their thoughts after trying the bowl.
“Tried it tonight! Wonderful but a little heavy on the black pepper. I will be ordering it again!” one user commented.
Another customer felt the mashed potatoes were too dominant in the bowl.
Earlier this year, Jack’s teased the upcoming item with a video on social media. The video showed close-ups of the bowl’s ingredients and invited followers to guess what the new item might be.
Some users hoped it would be a breakfast option. One guessed, “A loaded biscuit breakfast bowl?”—perhaps expecting a twist on the chain’s popular smoked sausage biscuit.
Others didn’t need to know the details to be excited.
“I want one. Looks delicious,” another fan wrote.
Will It Stay on the Menu?
At this time, Jack’s hasn’t confirmed whether the Loaded Fried Chicken Bowl is a permanent addition or a limited-time special. There’s been no official announcement on how long the item will be available.
For now, Jack’s fans who want to try the new bowl are encouraged to act quickly, just in case it doesn’t stay on the menu for long.
The new bowl is available at participating locations across the chain’s Southern U.S. footprint, where Jack’s has built a loyal following with its Southern-style menu items like biscuits, fried chicken, and sweet tea.
