Reviews describe Jack Le Coq as a go-to spot for fried chicken with crispy crust, juicy meat, and generous portions served in a nostalgic retro atmosphere. The tenders, especially Nashville and red spicy varieties, along with the Jack Classic and Deluxe burgers, are frequently highlighted as must-try items. Sides such as waffle fries, poutine, and macaroni and cheese are commonly mentioned, with fry texture noted as crunchy by some and less favorable when delivery or cooking affects quality. The overall sentiment is that the chicken is fresh and flavorful when prepared well, but several reviews report changes in recipe, quality, or price since ownership changes, leading some to say the value has declined. Service is typically fast and friendly, with many praising the upbeat atmosphere and efficient takeout or dine-in options; however there are occasional complaints about errors, miscommunication, or missing items on orders. A few diners describe issues like undercooked chicken on a first order, inconsistent portions, or long waits at peak times, but these are not universal. Despite the variability, Jack Le Coq is widely regarded as one of the best fried chicken spots in the area, drawing repeat visits for the crispy texture, variety of sauces, and comfort-food appeal.
I want to readjust my review regarding Jack Le Cocq... more tan a year ago the price was fine & the chicken now the receipe seem to have changed & the price went too way up ... honestly I will not go back again

First time going to this Verdun location & glad we did! We picked up our order & ate in the car (had our dog with us). The service was quick, the food was hot, fresh & delicious! Bravo to this location, we'll be back!
Ça aurait pu être bien. Cependant j'ai pris en takeout, premier problème: rendue chez moi je me rends compte qu'il manque une frite, je dois donc retourner la chercher, 30mn de perdues, un repas froid bon à faire réchauffer & aucun dédommagement pour l'aller retour.
Deuxième point & non des moindres: un cheveux retrouvé à l'intérieur de la panure d'un des fried chicken, j'avoue ne même pas avoir eu le courage de manger le reste des poulets.
Troisième point: trois grains de fromage sur la poutine (en revanche la sauce poutine est bonne & la sauce jack aussi!)
Pour le prix je m'attendais à quelque chose de quand même bien, je suis vraiment déçue.
J'aurai mis une étoile mais je laisse le bénéfice du doute en en mettant deux comme ça fait plus d'un an qu'on me dit qu'il faut que je teste car c'est bon…
Client de longue date, j'ai l'impression que la qualité diminue au fil du temps malheureusement. Les tendres de poulet de plus en plus petit, & les frittes des poitrines moins bonnes qu'avant.
Get the tenders with onion rings, nothing better on the menu, w the honey mustard.
Just don't get the gravy or fried chicken pieces ngl.
Seasoning is mid, sauce is tasteless.
Chicken tenders peak.

The place looks nice, the food is good but not the atmosphere that it was weird.Many peculiar people were coming in & out, talking to the costumer, making us uncomfortable so we could not enjoy our food & making it a bad experience.
Depuis qu'ils ont changé de propriétaire, les tendres sont passé d'environ 100gr à 75gr, & même moins. Les tendres sont sec & la qualité n'est plus au rendez-vous. Je suis très déçu & vous venez de perdre un client.
J'ai commandé pour livraison, n'en change rien au fait que le fromage a poutine est quasiment absents. Le goût du poulet est bien. Moin extraordinaire que je ne l'aurais crue pour le prix. A noté que sur la photo tout le fromage du contenant est visible, c'est a dire environ 5-6 bouche ensuite vous aurez un frites sauces dispendieuse

I flocked to google immediately after having the feeling the owners of this location had changed. Seems from the other reviews that is correct.
The chicken was undercooked & i was told it was just'juicy'. They fixed this issue but the chicken doesn't taste as it used to. Also, the new crinkle fries are a flop. We'll be looking for a new chicken place ☹?.
J'y vais à l'occasion & j'aime bien, les wraps au poulet ont bon goût. L'attente est parfois un peu longue, je n'y vais pas si je suis pressée. Aussi, j'ai remarqué que le pourboire est encore calculé avec taxes... Rien de dramatique, mais ça serait bien que les machines soient conformes à la nouvelle loi.
I recently ordered the Sandwich Jack Classique combo, & my experience was quite mixed.
**Fries:** 1/10 - Unfortunately, they were cold & stale, which was a letdown.
**Burger:** 7/10 - On a positive note, the burger was made with fresh ingredients, & I appreciated that.
However, I found it surprising that a small cup of spicy mayo cost $1.45.
I had high hopes when I heard Jack le Coq was opening in Laval, but my visit left me disappointed. I also recall that the location in Verdun offered waffle fries, so I'm unsure why they opted for the frozen McCain lookalike fries this time.
