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.
Ambiance retro très agréable. Service rapide. Gros morceaux de poulets, tendre, chaud & croustillant. Selon moi, l'un des meilleurs poulet de Montréal.

Great chicken when spiced up, not so when just plain. Ordered regular chicken slides, the batter was the usual & the chicken was of good quality. What was disappointing was the lack of flavor the pieces had: no salt, no pepper, just plain batter & chicken. I was not expecting a lot, but this was beyond distaste full. Too bad because the spicy chicken is terrific. So, if you want to try regular you have been warned don't expect much, regular is really-No spices at all. It's just plain chicken. Other than that I cannot complain!!!!
If you crave fried chicken, this is the spot. They have the best fried chicken in town, & if you're adventurous, the spicy version hits the spot, even single time. The multiple sauce chimoices is great (I always rake the hot honey & the Flame (it's not too spicy, so you can try it). The service is always very very pleasant & polite & kind. Try it. The owner John is always there to provide amazing service all around, & the pink neons offers a cool cozy yet cyberpunk-esque vibe... pure awesome spot!
This was the best god damned fried chicken I've had in my entire life, I had a chicken burger & wings, it absolutely rocked me & left me shaking in my little boots! service was also super friendly despite how slammed they were! ill be back asap.
I ate like a doctor on vacation: the standard sandwich had no weak spot, I'm genuinely was surprised by everything!
Veggies were fresh & abundant, bun was as dense as you really want it to get & the breast was succulent, not dry, thoroughly cooked, tasty & fresh above everything else.
For 11.50 it's a steal to eat like that, treat yourselves, people!

Chicken is good, so is the coleslaw, & the vibe. But fries are just the frozen crinkle cut type. Seems to me that this place could really benefit from having better fries.
The food was delicious! The vibe is great! The service was friendly! Our chicken burgers were crispy on the outside & tender on the inside (exactly how a great chicken burger should be)! The onion rings on the side were a great touch! Not overly salty or oily, but incredibly crunchy & yummy! I highly recommend this place & will be back!
Would have been 4 stars if they didn't cheat us of a chicken tender.
We ordered'la belle famille' & it's supposed to be 4 tenders & 4 fried chicken pieces. Got only 3 tenders
Other than that fries get cold & hard fast which leads me to believe they are frozen.
Chicken is crispy, poutine gravy is good.
