Jack Le Coq is widely praised for its fried chicken, with many reviewers noting juicy, crispy chicken and a standout poutine, along with generous portions of tenders and fries and a range of sauces that keep flavors lively. The atmosphere is described as warm and retro, and service is generally quick, friendly, and the space is kept clean, making it a reliable choice for chicken lovers in Verdun. While the chicken quality is celebrated, some reviews point to price increases and occasional inconsistency in texture or flavor, changes after ownership shifts, and issues with orders such as missing items, delivery glitches, or fries going cold. Some diners prefer spicy styles like Nashville and report that the regular version can be bland without added heat, though others praise the bold sauces and the variety of menu options including burgers and mac and cheese. Overall, Jack Le Coq is viewed as a standout option for fried chicken in the area, though a few guests feel value has diminished on recent visits.
The food is good but it's a bit pricey compared to other places. 43$ for 2 classic trios & one Junior chicken sandwich is expensive. Especially when I can get way more food at McDonalds for 10$ less. Portions are generous & the atmosphere makes you feel like you're in a retro Diner. We asked for no pickles & we still got pickles & it did take a while for us to get our food. People after us got their food before us. Overall, 4/5 because the food was good which is rare nowadays.
Great service. Super solid mains & sides. The fried chicken is really crispy & juicy. The gravy is addictive & delightfully peppery. Love being able to get mac'n'cheese as a side. The pink lemonade slush is also fantastic, & they even have spruce beer from a local provider!
The food here is really good. We got the Jack cheese, Jack Honey, & the chicken tenders, everything was fantastic. The spicy chicken has just the right amount of heat. The owner is super friendly & helpful, he even asked if it was ok to give my daughter a toy chicken, this made her night. I will be back for sure & I'll be recommending this restaurant to my friends. Edit: I've been coming here since before covid. It's my favorite chicken joint. It's always top notch. I found out today that the food is also halal with the exception of the wraps & sandwiches because they toast the bread on the same grill as the bacon, but you can ask to not toast the bread & it's now halal. One of the employees explained all of this to me today & she even baked the head chef to make sure the gravy was halal too (it is). She was amazing.
Robin was the best person to take my order!! She guidede along the way & I ended up with the best burger ever. Will come back many times just to deal with her :)
Délicieux, c'était une journée tranquille alors l'équipe de service était un peu végétatif mais je m'en plaint pas. J'ai travaillé dans des restaurants & les journées tranquille c'est difficile de garder le sourire constamment. Il semble très efficace dans l'exécution de leur tâche. Je vous recommande d'y aller si vous voulez manger de la bonne bouffe.
