Jack Astor's is described as a lively, family friendly spot with generous portions, a casual pub vibe and a menu that blends comfort foods with some global options. Reviewers praise friendly and attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere, with many noting fast service on some visits and slower pace on others. The drink menu is popular with a wide selection of beers and non alcoholic options, and favorites mentioned include nachos, wings and burgers. The venue is seen as clean and stylish, sometimes busy, and a few comments mention outdated decor or items on the menu, as well as occasional order mix ups or price concerns. Overall the experience comes across as enjoyable and reliable, with trivia nights and game viewing adding to the appeal for groups and families, though noise can be high and service hiccups occur from time to time.
If you're looking for a festive (they had Christmas lights lit) environment,to have quick draft or pint...then this place is for you 😁. I was there to have supper with friends. They chose this place, I personally prefer a more upscale establishment. If you like burgers & fries.. nachos.. chicken wings,then you'll love this place. Our serving girl was young & polite, but failed bring napkins or cutlery before our entree arrived.😞 .lastly they didn't have Modelo or Heineken, which I feel, for a pub/restaurant is a major fail.
I was disappointed with my recent visit. The salad I was served was not fresh, parts of it were already turning brown. On top of that, the plate it was served in did not appear clean; it had greasy marks with visible residue & marks. This raised concerns for me about overall cleanliness & food quality. I hope more attention is given to both freshness & proper dishwashing.
On a positive note, the servers were very professional, kind, & attentive to specific requests. Because of their service, I'm giving 3 stars. However, the issues with cleanliness & food freshness need serious attention from management.

Went & had lunch. My wife was sick for the week with stomach issues after her meal. Won't be going back.

A little disappointed this time. All three people I was with said they wouldn't order their meal again.
Nothing wrong with the food, but nothing stands out either & when you're paying $20-30/meal I want something that stands out a bit. Older menu was better than the current one.
Messed up our order.
Be careful on the terrasse as there's a lot of sun, easy to bake & burn if you're not careful.
We were not supposed to go to jack astor's, but we ended up making the right choice! Thaïla was our server & she was very welcoming & sociable! She suggested the smoky bbq burger & it was amazing, great service overall
I had a great experience at Jack Astor's. There's many different food options & it's a fun atmosphere. The standout is definitely the service!! Thank you Thaïla for the great vibes all night!
