More fast food options are coming to the Land of Lincoln.

After decades of being out of Illinois, fast food restaurant Jack In The Box is returning. Not only that, but they're opening several new restaurants.

Jack In The Box's menu includes their "24/7 Cravable Menu", breakfasts, burgers, chicken plates, tacos, desserts, and like most fast food restaurants, combos and deals.

According to NBC Chicago, the chain's decision to open as many as 10 new locations in and around the city is part of their "strategic expansion into Chicago". And Illinoisans could visit the eateries as early as this July.
