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as attentive and accommodating, able to navigate dietary needs and explain menu options, yet some reports reference outdated decor and POS issues, language barriers for non French speakers, and occasional order errors.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.
Ordered 8 ounce flat iron steak (ordered medium rare but it was rare ; was still very tasty!) with shrimps on side (very good) , mashed potatoes (was luke warm) string beans (really undercooked). Meal was $33 evening special. Was still good but could have been excellent if food was cooked properly & served promptly.
The food was forgettable. I had fish tacos. They were essentially fish sticks on salad on flour tortillas. The beer menu had a few drafts beyond the usual megabrewery distributor list, but not much. The service was friendly & fast, but the acoustics are pretty bad with all the glass. The music plus the background din just felt noisy

Good food & drinks, prices are pretty high but quality is usually good.
This time I ordered the fried wonton nachos with tuna which were delicious & a cool twist on basic nachos!
Service is always good & friendly, you can’t go wrong with this place but it is a bit overpriced for what you get.
Had a great afternoon at the bar section for a few drinks The morning after my husband couldn't find his wallet & called Jack's to see if they found it there.
The guy who answered the phone took my husband's phone number & said he would check to see if they found it. They did a complete check & found nothing. I found the wallet at home, what a scare!!
Very pleasant staff & very helpful.
Today I went for the first time to celebrate my birthday at this restaurant. The service was a little slow ( short in staff). & honestly the food wasn't good. Chicken was salty, with no taste. Usually it should be marinated when is grilled. It felt i am eating boiled chicken. For the price I paid I didn't get the quality i expected. I was really disappointed for the food since it was my birthday. The only thing I liked was the drink. I don't recommend this restaurant.

Went in last night with a group of friends to kick off football season & was really disappointed to be told that the TV system wasn't working. The only TVs that were on were three at the bar & the area around them had no space for us. Ended up having to go somewhere else.
