Quebec comfort food, far from the commercial chicken of our competitors.We use high-tech equipment to offer a superior quality product!Bigger pieces of chicken than you already know!A fried and crispy delight!
Jack le Coq is widely praised for its fried chicken, with tenders and larger pieces described as juicy inside and crispy outside, and sauces ranging from spicy to sweet are often highlighted. Portions are generous and flavors consistent, with many saying the chicken is excellent and the menu items like burgers and wraps are solid, set in a retro diner ambiance with neon lighting and arcade vibes. Price is a common talking point, with some reviewers calling it pricey for the portions and some noting sauce and sides can push up the cost. Service and cleanliness receive mixed feedback: some visits are fast, friendly, and efficient, while others report slow service, errors in orders, long waits, and dirty tables or bathrooms. The experience can be influenced by the venue's crowd level and takeout timing, with some lines and takeout orders feeling rushed or mishandled. A notable caution is raised about halal status: although claimed, the grill is shared with pork, leading to cross contamination concerns for some diners. Overall, the quality of the chicken and the retro atmosphere stand out, making return visits likely for the chicken, though improvements in service consistency and cleanliness would elevate the experience.
I really like their chicken tenders, I usually get their combo with bread pickles & sauce it's similar to Raising Cane's. Their red tenders are good too if you like a lil kick. I recommend going for dine-in, their take-out is a hit or miss.

Food was really good at filling just a bit greasy but expected! I really recommend the red chicken & they give a lot for what you pay for! The staff here is so nice lovee
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!!!
Nous somme allée(s) pour la 1ere fois & la dernière aujourd'hui. 53$ pour 2 personnes l'attente a été longue malgré qu'il n'y avait personne devant nous , de plus aucune table était nettoyées elles étaient très sale & personne passait pour laver , machine de distribution de boisson le Pepsi était hors fonction & le 7up avait un goût de tuyau , l'endroit est belle par contre . Nous avons commandé filets & un burger malheureusement ce n'était pas assez cuit encore du gluant . Ceci dit leurs frites gauffrés était bonne . Pour le prix & la qualité je ne recommande pas .
Très bon ambiance Très bon Très acueillant je recommande à tous le monde j'ai aucun point négatif à dire à par que ses le meilleur poulet québécois eve
The food here was actually quite good - fresh, flavorful, & came out in a timely manner. If the space were properly cleaned, I could see it being a great hangout spot, since the layout & vibe were otherwise quite enjoyable.
Unfortunately, the overall experience was soured by the service & cleanliness. Our server got our order wrong, & when we politely corrected it (well before the kitchen had started on it), she was noticeably passive-aggressive & audibly annoyed for the rest of our time there. Even when asking for a takeout box, the tone & attitude made us feel unwelcome - like we were a burden rather than guests.
On top of that, the floors were clearly unmopped, the whole place felt grimy, & the women's bathroom door didn't even lock, which felt like a basic safety concern being overlooked.
It's a shame because the food & potential atmosphere are there, but the lack of cleanliness & unwelcoming service make it hard to recommend without some serious improvements.

Première fois & on y retournera, tendre de filet de poulet très très tendre, panure pas trop grasse ni épaisse.
Je recommande ce resto.
Seul bémol, un petit flacon de sauce fourni que tu prennes 2 ou 4 filets.

Franchement un des meilleurs restos de poulet frit à Montréal ! Le poulet est ultra croustillant à l'extérieur, juteux à l'intérieur, & les sauces sont incroyables (mention spéciale pour la sauce épicée 🔥). L'endroit est propre, le service est rapide & toujours avec le sourire. On sent que la qualité est une priorité ici. Je recommande les yeux fermés !
Un service exceptionnel & une ambiance vraiment agréable ! On s'y sent tout de suite à l'aise. Je recommande à 100 % ! & le petit plus : c'est juste à côté du cinéma Cineplex, parfait pour une sortie réussie.
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.
Nourriture très bonne, nous avons pris un combo familiale 8 morceaux, & franchement PFK peux retourner aux USA, & le service très bien. Je vous le recommande fortement. & vous manger bien sans briser vos poches & les quantités sont généreuse.
