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.
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!!!
I highly recommend 👌

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 😁
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 .
Very delicious chicken.
The service acceptable
they don't have metallic knife!!!
which was weird, as we eate chicken brest with our hand !!!, they give me plastic one, that you can't even cut with it.

Chicken tenders were not crispy. They had obviously been reheated & cooked at least a half hour before. Disappointed.
The batter is decent. It could use more taste. It's rather bland. The chicken inside was excellent & perfectly cooked. I would have liked it to have been marinated since it would be more flavourful.
The temperature inside the store was incredibly hot.
For the price It would be worth it if it were cooked to order. What i ate was not hence not worth it .
Poulet, sauce & fromage très bon mais Frites congelées dégueulasses mais par contre le service est impeccable & les 2 jeunes filles au comptoir sont vraiment sympas , beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c'est
