The spot is described as a reliable late night option and casual gathering place, with strong praise for the chicken and tenders and generally positive notes about staff and ambiance.
I came in ordered 8 chicken tenders with fries & asked 3 times if the stuff was made fresh. The chicken came fresh & nice but the fries were cold & stale. I told the counter they kinda lied but they didn't care. Even though when I asked them they assured me it was fresh.
Went there as a late night craving, the store was clean & the asian lady behind the counter was extremely serviable! Loved the chicken tenders & waffle fries combo:)
Had a great experience at Jack Le Coq! The chicken was super soft & the poutine was amazing-much better than other places I've tried in Ontario. I specially came from Mississauga, & it was totally worth it & the night shift crew was also very friendly. Highly recommended
I ordered with Cindy asked if she spoke English she explained yes I then ordered a combo & asked to add Mac & cheese & I proceeded to get the order with Mac & cheese without the fries so I went back & talked to her she said I didn't charge you for that I said okay can I get a order of poutine fries then & she wrang it up I paid & then she gives me regular fries then proceeded to argue with me when I tell her I ordered poutine fries not plain fries bad customer service overall by Cindy

When you take a bite of the chicken, the meat literally slides off the bone yet the outer layer has a perfect crispy crunch. Not oily at all! It's clear that the chicken has been perfectly brined to perfection. Actually you can say you had a healthy version of a perfect fried chicken ! 😉 good job! 👍🏼
This is my family's favourite fried chicken place, & we have been to them all, including Chik-fil-a, Raising Cane's, & Popeyes. The staff are friendly & the service is great.
First time & truly impressed, fried chicken was very tasty & the burger crunchy & satisfying, for a real spicy treat the red chicken tenders is a must if you can handle the heat 🔥 Will surely visit again.
I had an amazing experience at this place The chicken was cooked to perfection-juicy, flavorful, & with just the right amount of seasoning. The sides were fresh & delicious, & the portions were generous. The staff were friendly & attentive, & the atmosphere was cozy & welcoming. Whether you're craving fried, grilled, or roasted chicken, this place has it all. I'll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend!" & Thank you John for the good service.

I had the fried chicken combo with onion rings. Very crispy. I particularly like the gravy because it's quite peppery. The atmosphere is so funky. It reminds me the Filipino fries chicken. i.e very good.
I had a great experience , especially with the cashier. he was friendly, efficient, & made the checkout process quick & enjoyable. Excellent customer service that made my visit a pleasure! I would definitely recommend
