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…
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

C'est un excellent restaurant de type « fast food », nous recommandons la poutine & le mac & cheese! Le restaurant lui même est adorable & possède une esthétique unique en son genre. Les plats sont par contre assez dispendieux, il est facile de dépenser plus de 50$ pour deux personnes. Nous croyons tout de même que ça en vaut la peine & le détour! 🐔❤?
The dinner had a very vintage look to it which was very nostalgic. We got a large poutine & still felt like the portion was a bit small but it was still good. Would recommend the chicken wings with the honey & garlic sauce it was very tasty.
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.
This location is very retro-looking & the service is quick. I got the poutine with chicken strips & it was delicious - I love a good poutine! The food is fairly priced & the dining area is spacious & bright.
Very delicious fried chicken. Tried their burgers: Classic Jack, Jack Miel, & box of 8 chicken pieces. Also tried the poutine, I would prefer the poutine to have more sauce, because mine didn't have enough sauce & the cheese wasn't able to melt.. but I guess that's personal preference.
Je m'attendais à mieux. Certais très chère & les portion etait minuscule. La poutine avait 4 morceaux de fromage à l'intérieur...si c'est pas trois. Le goût du poulet était bon par contre. On c'est aussi prix deux petit pain à part & il goûtait le vieux. Je ne retournerai plus à ce restaurant...
