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as attentive and accommodating, able to navigate dietary needs and explain menu options, yet some reports reference outdated decor and POS issues, language barriers for non French speakers, and occasional order errors.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!
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!

I went to jacks with a friend tonight & the service was horrible. The server, Maria, came only to see us after we had been sitting for 20 minutes, it took 15 minutes for us to get our drinks after ordering them. The food took even longer. We didn't get water until we asked for them. All of our food was dry & over cooked. After getting our food I asked the runner for mayo, she rolls her eyes at me, sighs & walks away. When I ordered an other drink, it took her 20 minutes to get it after having reminded her twice she says'sorry I forgot'. Long story short not a great experience there. Keep in mind this is a Monday night with maybe 4 tables in the whole restaurant.
Food was amazing aside from some minor complaints. We had Pad Thai, the buffalo blue crispy chicken sandwhich, & the smoke n BBQ sandwich. Nachos were good but way too salty. Smoke n BBQ sandwich tasted uniformly the same, like sauce & beef. Alright but would have preferred a slightly less melted palette. The shark attach soda drink was deliciously cute!
Amazing restaurant! Great prices, generous portions, & truly delicious food. I had The eggnog Christmas drink, the coconut chicken curry now & a Christmas caramel dessert. The décor is impeccable. Ante was exceptionally attentive, & the manager was just as welcoming. I'll definitely be coming back. Thanks a lot!
Nicky is the best! Food & service as always was amazing. Can't wait for our next time back! P.S they put up their Christmas decor & the vibes & Christmas drinks were rocking!!!

We Had an amazing time tonight! our server Nicki was fast l, attentive & super sweet, always checking to see if we were satisfied with our food & drinks the entire night! 10/10
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.
Excellent customer service (Sofie) right from the beginning. She asked if we wanted glasses of water even though we ordered drinks, & when we decided to order one more beer to split, she kindly gave us two glasses & filled them partially. Great customer service, a great atmosphere, & fantastic DJ music. I would recommend this place.
What a delight. Abi would not stop making us laugh & feel very welcomed. She has a great smile, & recommended the best food & drinks for us to enjoy :)

Decorated beautifully for the holidays. Julia was our beautiful server who suggested great drinks & food options for my family & I (I have MANY dietary restrictions). There was a little confusion in my husband's order but they fixed the issue quickly & were super nice about it! Such a great experience! Definitely, will be returning.
Need to get yourself a waiter, Ante's got you. Good service, good food, great fishbowl drinks. The only down was that if you are a walking stomach like me, the burgers were a tiny bit smaller than expected, but filling & really good nonetheless. All & all, real good stuff. & once again, i insist, Ante served our table very well.
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.
The drinks are fun & large choice ! The losbter dip was very good but the boodha plate was litterally just à salad with not much taste . The service was fast & good tho
The only great thing about Jack's is the fishbowls, & overall drink menu. Food is good, but portion sizes you get for the price doesn't seem justified. Still a decent classic to go to when in need of a drink & to be able to talk at normal volume.
