Overall, at Jack Astor's the reviews portray a lively, family-friendly spot with reliable burgers, chicken, bowls and plenty of portions, and friendly service, though a few visits suffer from mismatched orders, slow checks, or higher prices for dishes that don't stand out. Diners frequently praise the food as tasty and plentiful, with bar vibes and quick drink service during games, while the atmosphere is described as fun and sometimes loud, with holiday decorations that delight families and crayons on the table for kids. The staff are often highlighted as attentive and accommodating, able to navigate dietary needs and explain menu options, yet some reports reference outdated decor and POS issues, language barriers for non French speakers, and occasional order errors. For many, Jack Astor's remains a go-to for casual nights out, birthday celebrations, or catching a game, with plans to return, though a few guests note that portions can feel smaller for the price.
Had such a great time at trivia night last week at Jack Astor's Bar & Grill for the Seinfeld theme night! It was honestly one of the most fun nights out I've had in a while. The whole place had a great energy & the questions were actually really good for fans of Seinfeld.
Trivia happens every Tuesday, & it's quickly becoming our weekly thing because it's such a fun atmosphere. There's even a bit of friendly rivalry with the reigning champ'The Dogfather' who somehow seems to win almost every week the whole room is basically trying to beat him at this point.
I also love that the first Tuesday of every month has a new theme, which keeps it fresh & gives everyone something to look forward to.
On top of the trivia, the food & drinks were great & the staff were fantastic super friendly & really kept the energy going throughout the night.
If you're looking for something fun to do on a Tuesday night, trivia here is definitely worth checking out!
The Memphis steak was very good. Cooked perfectly. Our group ate at the bar. The bartender was very attentive even though he was busy. I would return the next time I am in the area. If you don't speak French, just ask for an English menu, they do have them.

The Hunter chicken is sooo good!! :) the servers are the best! :) I like this place because it's not so rowdy but you still get that bar & grill vibe :)
Weekday mornings are nice & quiet-perfect if you prefer to avoid noisy lounge crowds. Weeknights are calmer than weekends, but you might still want to reserve. It's an awesome place for group birthday celebrations, with good prices for generous portions. The staff is always kind & friendly. Great for a family dinner, or to catch a match by the bar!
Thank you for your attentive service in the bar on Trivia Night, Abi. I have enjoyed coming to the Dorval Jack Astor's for over a decade now. We can always count on positive vibes & an entertaining gathering, whether for staff meetings for example, or family outings. Birthday parties have been a big blast, especially in the Elvis corner booth. My favourite item on the menu is still the Thai coconut curry chicken bowl.

I am never disappointed whenever I come to jacks. Hands down my favourite go to restaurant ✨ not only is the food phenomenal but our Bartender Maria is the absolute cutest. We love her so much, best energy, drinks are flowing & always have the best recommendations.
Bar side is looking nice, but it stops here. Food was ok, nothing extraordinary. Service was bad even the place was empty. Very long wait. It was my second try in a few weeks. Will be my last here.

Been a long time since I've been here, it has very much upscaled itself. The smell of stale beer & a floor covered with peanut shells is now a classy bar/restaurant.
Their Price's have gone up but that's life.
I ordered the holy burger with Caesar salad & on first glance the burger was small, but this was an illusion the bun is small but the burger filled me up with a juicy, slightly spicy taste that satisfied! The salad was very good side to it. The cold beer went great with the meal.
Bartenders here are super. I am from out of town, but travel to the area regularly for work. This is my go-to spot for a beer. They always have refreshing beverage for you right away. Most nights when I am in town, Maria is on duty. She is super nice & gives excellent service. Amanda & Lisa also tend the bar & give great service as well. They are why I come here.
My husband & I go to Jack's on a regular basis & we are always satisfied with the food, drinks & the amazing friendly service we get from the staff. Friendly vibe & good food. We like the bar section for coziness & the comfortable seats in the booth section. Chicken burgers, burgers, lobster dips are our go to. Special thank you for Mandy for her great smile & for attending us so well.
This was my first time eating at jack astors. The customer service was more than great. Our bartender Amanda was exceptional & catered to our every need. The food was served quickly & tasted amazing. 10/10 would recommend!
The kids could not agree in the car on the way back to Montreal, my cousin told me to just go there...thanks cousin! What can I say, perfect for everyone. My wife & I got healtier options, the kids got exactly what they wanted & as is customary, I tasted everything. Great, on point, I expected far worse. So yeah, BIG American diner, with some huge advantages: -Super kid friendly, they can draw on the tables & are given games to play with. Their menu is pretty complete too. The cups they get have a lid as prevent spillage, well done. Our waiter was very sweet. - If you like sports, alcohol & bar ambiance, this place is great, there are screens everywhere. -Lots of healthy options as well, an entire menu section dedicated to healthier foods. I took a simple NY steak with veggies, it was perfect. Anyways, I was not expecting much & we all came out with a smile (props on the desserts too, they were great).
