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.
My boyfriend had a Jack burger last night & has had food poisoning since this morning. He's laying in bed with a fever right now. Please be more careful when preparing your food so this doesn't happen to other people. We're certainly not going back.
Very good food but very bad service!! Dark skin cashier girl is so rude, very bad communication, paid 40$ & asked for sauces they forgot it!! One more time very good food but very bad service which is worst!! Never going back to this spot ever again

10/10, Hands-down the best chicken in Montreal. We come to Verdun all the time for Jack le Coq.
Service was beyond incredible, & the manager hand-delivered the food & was extremely personable. Employees were very patient & kind.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm & very clean. The lighting & restaurant layout gives it a retro-style diner vibe.
22:30 ... elle lâche son cell pour me servir & me dire quil n'y a plus de poulet ces 25-30 min d'attente... il ferme a 23:30
Il a tjrs qqchose de croche chq fois .. ils sont bizzard anyways last time for me...
Ambiance agréable dans un style vintage. Patate frite de forme originale & délicieuse avec plusieurs choix de sauce & poulet frit juteux & croquant avec panure très réussie. Points plus négatif manque de savon dans les toilettes, pas d'option papier à main, devons rapporter notre cabaret nous même après le repas.
Du poulet frais utilisé pour faire des tendres de poulets sur commande, frais!!!!! Rien de congelé ici.
Le poulet est tendre, juteux & super bon.
J'ai essayé toutes les variantes, le régulier est bon pour ceux qui ne cherchent pas du !punch! comme moi... Le rouge est super épicé, il faut le manger avec des adoussissants comme la crème sûre à moins d'aimer ça...
Moi, je préfère le'Nashville', c'est le rendre de poulet régulier mais trempé dans une sauce piquante juste au bon niveau... Fantastique!
Allez-y sans tarder...

Person who took my order tried telling me it would be impossible to not put sauce on my burger, & tried to backtrack when I called him out on the obvious lie. Still tipped, but when I pressed 10% it immediately applied a 30% tip.
Déjà la dame c'était clairement tromper de prix, nous avons du lui dire la remarque. Ensuite sur l'affiche on voit un plat avec des frites & au final on reçoit que 3 tendres sans frites….
Delicieux malgré que la livraison ramolie tout. Ils faisaient leur livraison avant & ont changé pour de l'externe... Moyen pour cette partie. Le reste un incontournable à Verdun, pour leur poulet.
I don't normally rate restaurants but the chicken at this place is phenomenal, feeling the flavours of the jack miel épicé mixing in my mouth made me want to eat another one right after. Also the male staff was very nice & patient despite my 1000 questions 😂
