Reviews for Jack le Coq paint a picture of a place with excellent chicken that is juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, with tasty tenders and satisfying sauces and a retro vibe, yet the experience is uneven due to long wait times, slow or inconsistent service, and cleanliness issues at tables and in the washrooms, while prices are sometimes seen as steep; some diners praise friendly staff and quick service when it works, and many say they would return for the food, but the overall impression is that improvements in service and hygiene are needed to match the quality of the chicken.
The chicken leg taste was weird, I got nauseous few hours after. Only the fries were actually good, even the cookie was hard & looked passed.. do not go !

The fry chicken is like fried & refrigerated for a year & refried again. The cook is hard & you can tell everything is beyond the shelf life. The food made me throw up. Please do a check up on the food. It's unsafe.
i went it a first time. the chicken was insanely good. not the tenders or anything the straight up fried chicken was an answer that KFC was officially behind! but i went in today got an 8 piece combo of this said fried chicken & it was very disgusting. the grease under the chicken.. all over the piece was just a KFC thing, the complete opposite to my first time tasting jack.. very sad. ill try the tenders next & if its still the same disgusting thing im out.. but ill give it one last chance. but one advice to go the KFC route! its not a good one!
UPDATE: they offered me a 15$ promo code 😂😂 after arguing back & forth for over a week, they did not even offer to refund the order (even though it all went to the garbage after finding the bug). A true disgrace of a restaurant chain! Never stepping foot here again, & making sure to tell everyone I know not to also. DISGUSTING FOOD, DISGRACEFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE!!
Absolutely freaking DISGUSTING. I decided to order 80$ worth of food with my family for my birthday dinner because Jack le coq was my favourite place for fried chicken & mac & cheese. GUESS WHAT I FOUND IN MY MAC? A DEAD FLY! I wrote to the restaurant TWICE & it has been 3 weeks with no response. No compensation, no apology, nothing. I will be calling food inspection on them as this is UNACCEPTABLE & NASTY. I will NEVER eat here again & I will warn every person I know not to. Disgusting & the fact that they have been ignoring me is even more disgusting.
Update September 2025: after trying their burgers & tenders, me & my wife decided to try their fried chickens with bones but unfortunately this time, it was not good at all. It was blend, tasteless, the fried skin was pulling off leaving the chicken like steam cooked & it was blend with no flavors & no spices. Also, chicken pieces were so big that it is definitely not a good quality one. A bit disappointed because of the price. If I knew it, I would have kept eating their Tenders & burgers. Also, it is quite expensive since you get fried chicken without any sauces. Each sauce needs to be bought separately which I don't really understand.
Anyway, I recommend their burgers & Tenders but Definitely NOT their fried chicken with bones!!!

Great suprise to find this place in Centropolis.
Their chicken tenders (Spicy or not spicy) & their fried chicken burgers are amazing!!!
Staff is very nice, welcoming & even offered my daughter a cookie when we were leaving. It was very appreciated.
The big downside is that you have to pay for their dipping sauce. Hopefully, they will include it in the order in the future.
Even though the price is on the expensive side, the quality is there, the chicken is fresh, well cooked & seasoned. Their buns is good too.
If you enjoy fried chicken, this place is for you!!!
Update: Lost a star cause they jacked up (sic) their prices to unacceptable levels.
Hip diner-style joint that's serving delicious locally sourced chicken that's fried to perfection. The fried chicken pieces are truly amazing with high-quality white meat inside. Must try! In any case, anything named Jack is usually good 😁
Chicken was amazing 10/10 it's a bit pricy for sure just as most fried chicken is now. Didn't have fries or gravy just the spicy tenders & it was great.
This is the first time in montreal that I try fried chicken that feels great in taste & an amazing ratio of chicken to breading. Also the chicken is not drenched in oil or overcooked. The place is clean & the ambiance is nice. Definitely coming back!

Go for the chicken & gravy, forget the fries.
If you miss the old KFC sauce than this will give you some nostalgia, I admit it is a little too thick but the taste is pretty good. The batter stays crispy, chicken is tender & juicy on the inside, if you can eat spicy you have to try the red tenders, it is a bit pricier but the size of the pieces are much bigger than other places so it's worth it. They also have promotions during the week if your looking for a deal.
We were very well accommodated, they brought the food to us when it was ready & we also didnt need to wait long for our food. The food was fresh & it was definitely worth the price considering the portions. The owner of the store is really friendly & even gave my friend & I a dessert on the house. Overall it was a great experience & I definitely recommend it.
The fried chicken is pretty good, especially the red spicy chicken. The brown sauce tasted good but it was too thick (gelatinous). Everything else is not great... The french fries are disappointing, they really should use fresh cut potatoes, especially for the price we're paying... It's too expensive for what it is (like most restaurants these days). Also, if you go in winter, the restaurant constantly gets cold air drafts from doors opening on both side of the restaurant.
