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as attentive and accommodating, able to navigate dietary needs and explain menu options, yet some reports reference outdated decor and POS issues, language barriers for non French speakers, and occasional order errors.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.
We went to the restaurant for family lunch to celebrate our son birthday, atmosphere was great with the music, it is a nice place for families, our waiter Quin was awesome, he took care of us all the time, he recommended the best drinks, helped a lot with some special requirements for our main dishes & food selection overall. Garlic bread is so good. We will be back for sure!

I was with a group of people for someone's birthday. First of all they forgot my order & gave me my food when everyone else was finish eating.
Then my burger was burnt & over cooked.
I was so disappointed.
The waiter kept telling me he was alone in his section but it was only us in his section & 2 other people.
This happened January 19th, 2026 at 5:30 PM so you guys can go back & check who was working.
No apologies for giving me my food 20 minutes after everyone else WAS FINISH EATING BUT EXPECTED A 20% tip. Im so disappointed with the service & the quality of food.
The ambiance is always good & coloring on the table will always be fun.
We were there today for a birthday lunch & we were served by Abby & Amanda. The service was excellent, the food was delicious & the atmosphere was perfect!
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.
Good food, fun Birthday environment for my nephew. Cyann was a wonderful waitress made alterations to the menu items for a vegan. Great job to the team! Good size portions. Thank you to the staff.

Dylan went out of his way to be attentive to my daughter, whose birthday it was, but she is shy. He accommodated her by quietly bringing her a brownie & made her feel extra special. He was quick to help us out & super friendly! One of the best servers we have had at Jacks in a long time!
My daughter is finally old enough to join me for a fish bowl been coming here since she was 6, same great crew ,new food.thank uou to stacey & the crew for so many years of wonderful service after cheer comps & birthdays, cheers to many more !
We went for a birthday party with a group of 14 people. Dylan went above & beyond for us. He was fantastic & made our night even better. The girls at the front were super nice & greeted us warmly as well. Big thanks to Dylan!!!!

We always go to Jack Astor's for our family birthdays but tonight was really special. Our waitress for the evening was Peggy & she just happens to have the same birthday as our Grandma! We got to celebrate together 😁 she gave us excellent service. Always pleasant, smiling, great sense of humor! She was great at coming by regularly to check on but also giving us a chance to eat & chat ✅✅✅ had lots of favourite meals around the table, but my grandpa also tried the Asian wonton tacos with chicken & was extremely happy with his meal. The steaks were cooked perfectly, the fries were great as always. & had some DEELISH desserts 😃 extremely happy with our service this evening. Thanks again Peggy & team for a great experience & happy birthday once again!
