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.
Meilleur poulet frit, sandwich au poulet, ailes & tendres que j'ai mangé dans un fast food!! Le resto est super beau & propre & la bouffe est incroyable! Super prix pour la quantité & la qualité.
On s'entend qu'ici c'est destiné aux amateurs de poulet frit. C'est excellent. C'est plus cher que la concurrence, on se le permet une fois de temps en temps par gourmandise. C'est de loin l'un des meilleurs poulet frit a date. Il est préférable de le commander a la maison pour en profiter devant un bon match ou un bon film. Au restaurant, le décor est sympa mais je préfère en profiter mieux devant un bon film.
I loved the experience & the food is delicious. The employee Rhodina was exceptionally nice greeted me with a great smile & very helpful with the menu. I loved her service & food was better than I expected. Chicken was crunchy the burger was tasty & even their simple fries was fun & enjoyable. The portions are good unlike other fried chicken places & so was the gravy very light & not too salty like others. Highly recommend as the place is huge with big tables for big families & really cool atmosphere. Again staff like Rhodina makes you feel welcome & pleased to come back again.
Nous avons été un mardi soir à Laval vers 9pm. Le restaurant était sale. On a commandé 2 tendres avec frites & boisson. Le poulet n'était pas frais (poulet cuit qu'ils ont remis dans dans la friture pour nous le vendre). Boisson petit format qui vient avec le repas. On voulait de la sauce piquante & ils voulaient nous charger plus de 2$. Donc repas trop cher pour ce qu'on a acheté car ce n'était pas bon (pas frais).
Dimanche le 21 juillet @ 15 h 50. 1 seule employée & un cuisinier. Je demande 2 Tendres. La fille sert en anglais seulement [il paraît que c'est rendu comme ça à Laval]. Elle part en arrière faire du poulet [s'est-elle même lavé les mains...?]. Le cuisinier dépose les morceaux de poulet sous le « warmer » & ensuite on attend... 4-5-6 minutes passent... Le cuisinier en arrière fait des allers-retours parce que là tout a été mis sous le « warmer »... La fille finit par revenir d'en arrière le téléphone cellulaire dans les mains à regarder God knows what (!). Évidemment, elle sert les premiers clients qui avaient des trios à manger sur place... J'attends encore mes 2 Tendres qui ont niaisé sous le « warmer » plus de 5 minutes... Elle finit par me servir en anglais & me donner mes deux morceaux de poulet avec le téléphone cellulaire dans les mains... (!). Enough said. Where are the managers of this joint?! (!!!).

La nourriture est excellente & les portions immenses c'était vraiment satisfaisant & la portion était suffisante & le prix en vaut complètement la peine
After one year, I came back & am changing my review & rating. The chicken is excellent. Great choices. My Favourite is the Pickle Chicken sandwich. My son keeps coming back for a box with pieces of chicken. The service has greatly improved & was fantastic. The restaurant is very clean. Big thanks to my son for insisting I try this place again.
Great alternative to St Hubert. Decent prices & while you need to wait 10 ish minutes for your food, it's fresh & not frozen. The burger was a little difficult to finish because of the size of chicken piece. The burger fell apart early on. Great 50's diner atmosphere.
We tried their fried chicken & fries. The breading was crunchy, but the chicken itself was dense & lacked enough flavor to make me want another piece. The fries were tasty, especially with the light & peppery gravy that goes with the fried chicken. The diner's interior has a cool, retro style. Overall, it was a good experience.

Went in for the St. Jean Special. Came out satisfied with my choices. I typically do not eat fried food, but this was great & was not fried in bad old oil like some places. With a retro inspired modern taste dinner look, this place reminds me of my childhood experience visiting certain chains which have now lost their charm. Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Price: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Atmosphere/ Vibe: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Location: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Will definitely return for some quick bites.
First time eating at Jack Le Coq. Chicken was really crispy, salty but not extremely like some other restaurants. I find it was big portions. The ambiance feels like & old dinner but with pastel colors. Its cute!
Fried chicken Is ok, a bit dry. Cleanliness of the place was horrible tho & I'm not talking about the kitchen. The dining area was a bit dirty but the washroom... Worth a try for the food but do a take out.
