Les avis sur Jack Le Coq évoquent globalement un poulet frit croustillant et tendre, des tenders généreux et juteux, et une variété de sauces qui accompagne burgers et poutines comme le mac and cheese; l'ambiance rétro et un service rapide et accueillant font aussi partie des points appréciés, tout comme les portions généreuses et le bon rapport qualité-prix pour beaucoup. Certaines critiques soulignent la fraîcheur et l'assaisonnement du poulet, tandis que d'autres mentionnent des points négatifs tels que des frites parfois surgelées ou manquant de saveur, des incohérences selon les commandes et les emplacements, et des hausses de prix ou des soucis de propreté ou de livraison; des retours évoquent aussi le changement de propriétaire et son impact sur la constance du produit. L'offre phare reste les tenders et les versions épicées comme le Nashville, très appréciées par les amateurs de piquant, avec des avis très positifs sur le goût et le croquant, et de nombreuses recommandations pour tester les plats signatures et revenir, que ce soit à Verdun ou Laval.
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…
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.
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.

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.
The mark is 4 stars due to the frozen fries & below average non homemade gravy. This Verdun cute 50's style décor fried chicken restaurant, once a Dunkin Doughnuts location, has quickly made itself a good reputation in the Verdun neighbourhood. FOOD: Chicken: I tried the two piece chicken box that included a delicious highly seasoned thick gravy, a generous portion of the « Mac n cheese » as my side, & two pieces of chicken - a drumstick & a thigh. - The Mac n cheese was creamy, the noodles were a little soft which added to the smooth texture while still having a little bite to the noodles. - The sauce was very similar to KFC, & you can easily tell that this is not home made as it was overly thick & not physically like a gravy. It was a very strong seasoning similar to KFC, but more spicy & peppery. It was actually decent when dipped with the chicken but not a sauce I would brag about. - The chicken was the star as it was perfectly cooked, crispy, had some crunch, & nicely seasoned. It's so well seasoned it really does not need the gravy at all. The seasoning of the breading actually tasted similar to KFC (like the gravy) but it was little more spicy than KFC. The big difference is KFC had a gross amount of breaded fat & chicken & the pieces are very small as well as greasy & often KFC chicken is just unpleasant to eat. I don't know about the white meat or strips, but I did notice the french fries & they looked just like the cheap average frozen (McCain like) fries at Au Coq - I suggest avoiding the fries & go for the Mac n Cheese. The restaurant was in good order, service was friendly & genuine while also being exact & prompt with the order. I had a chance to speak with Tony, the owner of this Verdun franchise location & he genuinely wanted to know how i enjoyed the food, made a genuine effort typo speak about how proud he is of his franchise & how much he loves the organization & the products he serves - & his children love it as well "kid tested & approved". So I think this place is a defined repeat. I would also say to the parent company (Le Groupe Abbatiello), the choice of french fry is the weakest link in the offering & given the love of fries & poutine, whatever your sales are - i would almost guarantee you that if you would provide a real frenchfried potato or a close enough frozen product your sales would increase by at least 22%. I do not know what gravy is being used for the poutine, but if it is the same as the chicken - again, another weak point. Your gravy should not giggle, it should move in a naturally liquified manner. My guess is that it is a powder mix or some prepared product to reduce franchise error & quality control issues… I strongly urge you to improve on the gravy & think about something that people would at least believe was a fresh product. So to all, good eating & be patient with your servers. & thank you Tony for a great meal.
Update from 3 years later: most of this still stands true. Quality went down at some point this year (2024) but glad to see that they corrected that! Original review: Hands down, best fast food fried chicken in the city. Been looking for a good one ever since I arrived in Montreal. Can finally say I found it after 6 years of searching. We take out from there at least once a week. "The chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside." This classic is definitely true here. The burgers are also really well thought out & the different combos are really good. So are most of the sides -- special shout-out to the onion rings. One of the best I've had, & the portions are pretty big. That last one is generally true of all the menu. They are quite generous on the portion sizes. I probably have tried everything on the menu by now. Only thing that was somewhat disappointing was the poutine. Could use more sauce, & it should be warmer so that it melts the cheese a bit. It would also be nice to have some more intricate poutines, akin to their burgers. As it stands, they are quite bland.

Hot, crispy & amazing portion sizes. The food is great & a great spot for a bite to eat. Fried chicken is normally super greasy but not here :) nee favorite spot.
Ordered two jack cornichons to try this franchise & it was sooo good. Big chunks of fresh fried real chicken lol. Best fried chicken burger in the city forsure
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!
This place has the best fried chicken in the city, & staff is always very warm to customers despite the high quantity of people coming in. This is the place if you're hungry for a great piece of fried chicken
Very good ambiance!! I loved the staff. The main person at the entrance was so welcoming & kind to us. Also the food is amazing ! Let me tell you, you won't taste as good fried chicken no where else ❤️
