Les soeurs Jack's

Opens Wednesday at 9 am

(11)

Shawinigan

International Market

Review Summary

Reviews describe Les soeurs Jack's as serving tasty food with chicken and beef skewers especially praised, and the service is noted as very friendly, though overall impressions mix in some concerns. A wedding event featured a delicious meal for guests, but a coffee that should have been included in the package was missed after a hostess offered to fetch it and pay out of pocket, which left some disappointment since the coffee was supposed to be included. Post event handling is criticized for ethics and a defensive, arrogant reply to constructive criticism with no apology. Communication with the owner is described as complex, and allergen details had to be provided at the last minute for a wedding. Official invoicing is not used, with a Canva document serving as the bill, which is pointed out as an area for improvement. Taken together, the reviews highlight strong food and warm service alongside issues with ethics, communication, and administrative practices.View restaurant profile
