Update: We reviewed them. Click here to read our Jack in the Box Buttery Jack review.

Jack in the Box’s latest burger is the Buttery Jack, which also sounds like a playground torture technique or a drink that will get you messed up super quick.

It comes in two varieties — Classic and Bacon & Swiss.

Both feature a new signature 1/4 lb beef patty topped with melted garlic herb butter in a new toasted gourmet bun. The Classic is also topped with provolone cheese, a creamy tomato sauce, green leaf lettuce, and tomato slices. The Bacon & Swiss also has strips of hickory-smoked bacon, Swiss cheese, and a creamy bacon mayo.

The Classic Buttery Jack has 816 calories, 52 grams of fat, 23 grams of saturated fat, 2 grams of trans fat, 128 milligrams of cholesterol, 1148 milligrams of sodium, and 37 grams of protein. The Bacon & Swiss has 887 calories, 59 grams of fat, 25 grams of saturated fat, 2 grams of trans fat, 1346 milligrams of sodium, and 42 grams of protein.

We wrote about the burger sometime last year while it was being tested and some folks who tried it back then left their thoughts in the comments.

If you’ve tried either one recently, let us know what you think of it in the comments below.

Some of you are probably looking at Wendy’s Bacon and Blue on Brioche and thinking to yourself, “Hey! Didn’t Wendy’s already have a Bacon and Blue Burger?”

Yes, knowledgeable fast food fan, you are correct.

In 2010, Wendy’s offered their Bacon and Blue Burger that featured a beef patty topped with blue cheese crumbles, Applewood-smoked bacon, sautéed onions, and a creamy steakhouse sauce on a standard bun.

Wendy’s Bacon and Blue on Brioche is a bit different. It has a beef patty that’s topped with Wisconsin blue cheese crumbles, a blue cheese herb aioli, spring mix, and three strips of thick-cut Applewood-smoked bacon on a toasted brioche bun. Grub Grade has a review.
