Les avis sur Jack le Coq montrent une nourriture appréciée pour son poulet frit croustillant et juteux, ses tenders et burgers, avec des portions généreuses et des sauces variées, mais le tout est frappé d'un rapport qualité prix souvent jugé élevé et de constantes préoccupations liées à l'hygiène et au service: tables et toilettes sales, ambiance parfois bruyante, lenteur et erreurs fréquentes dans les commandes, et des soucis d'approvisionnement ou d'ustensiles. Certaines critiques soulignent aussi une éventuelle contamination croisée avec du porc qui peut poser problème pour les clients halal. Malgré ces points négatifs, la saveur et la fraîcheur de la viande restent réconfortantes et font revenir certains clients, surtout lorsque le personnel est aimable et efficace et que l'ambiance rétro est agréable.
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!

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.
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.
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.
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.
So aesthetically pleasing inside this place! The decorations took me as soon as we entered, it was so cute. I'm always looking for a good fried chicken & this place did NOT disappoint. The chicken is crispy with a good crunch once you hit into it the breading is flavourful but not overpowering & the chicken is cooked to perfection not dry actually pretty moist. I got the Jaq Fromage which the rest of the sandwich was just ok nothing crazy special. It came with (McCain) fries & a small drink. If you go there for the chicken alone you won't be disappointed

I finally tried Jack Le Coq fried chicken. The chicken itself is brined giving it flavour & "juiciness", however the batter leaves a lot to be desired. The batter itself is unseasoned & too thick. It is a wet batter so if applied too thick it just makes a doughy crust with a slime layer between it & the chicken.
The pieces themselves are very strange. I don't know who's cutting these pieces or if they just buy pre-cut chicken pieces. I bought an 8-piece & I had two tails & a neck?! I find that very odd & frankly, lazy. I have photos, but it seems I cannot post them here. For the price you pay, you should expect them to be a little more discerning about what they feed you.
Lastly, there were only 2 customers there on a Saturday at 11:45am, yet the bathrooms were dirty & smelled awful. I opened the door & just backed out of there.
One & done for this diner, sorry.
2-stars because the Franchise Business plan & branding were on-point. Unfortunately their product is more the branding rather than the chicken. Nice boxes.
