We come here to treat ourselves on special occasions. She gets hunters chicken I get the Asiago chicken pasta which is amazing but today I got the pad Thai bowl. Both were really good. Nice place. Nice atmosphere. Kind of expensive but that's life. Lunch for two was $75 no drinks just water. I come for happy hour often as well. Five buck drinks til 5 is great. And the bartender service is phenomenal. They're like how many you want to order in advance at 455. Pros like that. Love it. read more

Had a great experience dining here for lunch. I came with a large group for a holiday lunch and the team was able to accommodate our large group. Our server Rina was fantastic! She took great care of us making sure we got our drinks and meals correct and was very pleasant throughout. The holiday decor was also fantastic. Thank you for the great hospitality during our visit. read more

We stopped by here Saturday evening after reading reviews because we were really hungry. The lines were long and I really thought it would take a long time to receive our food but we were pleasantly impressed. The Bar: We went up to the bar because we were told it would be a 30 minute wait to get a table. We ordered the fuzzy mango breeze fish bowl and were not too impressed. It was made with Absolut Mandrin, triple sec, mango, lime, passion fruit, Sprite, and maraschino cherries. We thought our drink would last a while but it was mostly ice and was gone in very few sips. The drink was also not mixed too well. The flavour was all at the bottom and after we each had a sip it seemed like we were drinking sprite. Would we order this again? Absolut'ly not! THE FOOD: THAI SESAME CHICKEN STIR-FRY BOWL - my fiancé really enjoyed the dish and has ordered it multiple times since the first time we visited this location. MISO GLAZED SALMON BOWL- this dish is really delicious. The salmon is cooked perfectly and it is reasonably priced. I order this dish often and enjoy it every time. SWEET POTATO FRIES: The sweet potato fries are a dish we love to share. They are cooked really well and are the perfect appetizer. Would we return? Absolutely! read more

Writing about 3047 Vega Blvd location. Food is ass. Avoid! At all costs. Received a free appetizer voucher with meal so we dropped in for a drink. Big mistake! The free appetizer value was off by mere cents and the one we wanted they wouldn't let us get even if paid off the difference.. so the young lady serving us who was probably no more than 19 years old recommended an alternative. It was her favourite She said the option was similar to the lobster and crab dip. But it looked and tasted disgusting! As you'll see, it was clearly not made from regular cheese but rather, cheese whiz and it was naaaaasty! Don't recall the name of what I ordered for a meal but it definitely wasn't what I had expected. Was meant to be chicken tacos and was not tacos at all. I hardly ate it. My buddy had a burger that was also not good. Everything was so ass we washed it down with overpriced beverages then left. Service was decent. The young server was eager to get us to order more but we wanted to get the hell out of there. Never again. Not even if you pay me. read more

I invariably end up at a Jack Astor's when I am in the area since it is everywhere and it's a good safe option that everyone likes. This time was no different. However, service was off on this visit. The waitress kept disappearing on us for long periods of time and forgot our water. The food was solid. I liked my Asian bowl and the lemon tart was great. read more

We went for a group meal with 7 people and squished into a booth in the bar area. There were Xmas lights draped across the ceiling and lots of colourful furniture with framed magazines like rolling stone and mad covering the walls. This was 11:30am on a Sunday and the restaurant was empty. We had great service and were well taken care of. We split the cheesy garlic bread which was oily but delicious! To eat I had the lobster and crab dip while my partner had the chicken tendies. Consistently good. Will be back :) read more

food rarely disappoints; however, we have never had such poor service as we did today. Our server was EVAN - he did not write his name on the table to start with.. we had to ask three times for our daughter's water to be brought. Once our food was served, EVAN did not check back on our table until it was time to pay ... although we could see him walking around and tending to his other tables! Even getting our cheque and paying took longer than it should have. read more

Ordered the sauced chicken fingers and upgraded the fries to sweet potato fries. The food was fine, called in for take out (15% off) and the food was ready fairly quickly & the cook included extra sauces The chicken tenders were not as sauced as I've had at other location, but overall decent meal. * I wanted the tenders made more spicy but it was against policy to change the recipe of the tenders, so they just added hot sauce instead. read more

Celebrated my hubby's bday tonight. We ordered nachos to start and our mains. We received our mains after some time, but no nachos. We were given some bread instead. Manager came by and apologized for the experience. She took the nachos off our bill and gave us 2 to take home! Waitress was polite, attentive and helpful. She rounded up her crew to sing Happy Birthday to my hubby. Didn't have to remind them, I put it on the reservation. Now THAT'S customer service! Mistakes happen, but it's how they corrected it, and the sincerity of their apologies is what made our night. Thank you for proving that good service still exists! read more

I drove home from London today and stopped at Jack Astor's for lunch before heading home. I'd skipped breakfast so I was hungry. I got there about 12:15pm and it was filling up for lunch. There was a fun Friday vibe! I ordered what I always order at a Jack Astor's ... Chicken Parmigiana. The batter on the chicken was different than I've had at a Jack Astor's. It was light and I really liked it. I'm hoping it's throughout all the Jack Astor's as it made the Chicken Parm even better! The tomato was chunky and good. The cheese sauce on the pasta had a bit of a bite which I liked. It's probably the best Chicken Parm I've had at a Jack Astor's. Tamara was my server and she took good care of me. read more

For years I've had a love/hate relationship with the Jack Astor's franchise. I love the 'idea' of going there but then order something and remember I generally can't tolerate the food. Today, I tried this location while joining some of my extended family for dinner. The decor of this location shoots the others in the...never mind. This one appears to move slightly away from the sports bar theme and more towards the family friendly bar environment. So much so, that the sports fans in the group spent most of the time in the bar where they could see the televisions best. Unlike most of my experiences at JA's, as mentioned above, this food was delicious. I had their chicken and goat cheese sandwich which was very flavourful! However, the goat cheese flavour presides over all others, so if you don't like goat cheese it's not the item to order. As a side, I ordered poutine (diet out window for the day). It was divine! This location and our server were so friendly and compromising that it made for an overall pleasant dining experience. They know how to cater to families Ina way that keeps both kids and adults happy. Definitely a good option from the many restaurants that are on the Queensway. read more

Always a good time at Jacks Sherway... cooler vibe than the competitors in the area. EDIT: Haven't been in a while and now it's shit. Beer selection, although I recall they recently pumped up their craft beer selection.. well, it's a bait&switch.. For instance, Mill Street tap with "SEASONAL" written right on the tap.. "oh, that's just organic".. ok how about those Sam Adams taps? "Sam Adams Boston Lager".. oh, so none seasonal on ANY of them? "WE HAVE SAM ADAMS BOSTON LAGER" .. omg.. ok and are those 2 Goose head taps the 2 Goose beers? "no we just have the IPA".. sigh.. "glass of water please".. and can.. uh.. ok, she walked away.. but stuck close enough to comment "there's a drink menu right in front of you, what you're looking at is just a bit of what we have".. ok, yeah, but I bet there's nothing special in there either.. checked.. OH! My mistake! there's a rotating tap! "ask your server" it says Hahahahahahaha.. no... but it did denote what it was.. some pedestrian crappy (presumably) 'Mexican Cerveza' at 4.x percent..{NOTE: Who the F* does she think she is? oh right, not THAT cute IMHO, but seemingly best-looking on day staff so presumes she can be a bitch.. ok}.. GTFO k, so food.. I used to LOVE the thai curry chicken dish they used to have, but replaced with shoddy butter chicken recipe, and NOW they have "new bowls" one of which being a $16 salad-like thing they pass off as a curry bowl.. better add chicken.. k, so $25 later I got a bowl with well-past-due cukes and other shoddy vegetables in a minimal-curry bottomed bowl.. check my pic of the Coco Curry Bowl.. yum.. ew.. see those sloppy cukes? and where's the curry? glad I ordered the extra upcharged chicken or else this would just be a bowl of shit.. k, I'm out.. EDIT2: This is in NOT in relation to Michelle behind the bar who is great.. I don't know who that new chick is but I stand by my 'bitch' comment, despite the hate mail... read more

Popped in here after some Christmas shopping at Sherway since my growing nephew (11) was starved. Actually, my wife and I were pretty hungry too. Saturday at about 7 pm this place is pretty happening. Very full of people of all ages and groups and dates and they all seemed pretty happy. Also we did. Or have to wait long for a seat. The 50 or so waitresses and waiters are all very nice and helpful. Seems a little disorganized at times but it works. The music is loud the TVs all over the place give the place a fun vibe. And the crayons and brown paper on the tables give you a chance to be creative. The food options are standard Canadian type fare with burgers, nachos, some full entrees, steaks, and even include curry, salmon and pretty much anything you might want. We had one chicken fingers and fries which was delicious. Real chicken and very tender. And one chicken club sandwich which was a little on the small side but very good with lots of bacon and mayo. And finally we had a stir fry with rice from the kids menu which comes with a dessert and my nephew chose a cookie to go. With a beer, and some lemon milkshake that my wife had, we paid like $75. Overall very satisfied with the service and quality of the food as well as the fun atmosphere. read more

Jack Astor's used to be my go-to restaurant for special occasions and just casual hang outs. I tend to order the same items in rotation. However, I hadn't been in a while and sadly was kind of disappointed. The fried calamari and its sauces were still good, thank goodness! However, the asiago chicken bowties left much to be desired. They offer a small and large size portion at different price points. I ordered the large, the portion was good but the quality wasn't the same. And the pasta arrived with virtually no sauce. I had to ask for sauce and when I finally poured it on my pasta I found it bland. My chicken had some burnt pieces too... at $20 it really didn't impress. I was really wishing I ordered something else. My husband ordered the holy smoke burger which he said was fine - no complaints. Sweet potato fries are still good. And my son's fish on sticks were good too. The service was okay. I would prefer if servers asked for my son's drink order and dessert order since it's included with the meal, but not a big deal. Overall, this location was just okay but nothing special. If I go back, I definitely won't order the pasta. It unfortunately did not give me that nostalgic feeling which ironically is the section it's listed under on the menu. read more

Worst meal I've ever had at Jack Astors!!!! So disappointed! Came here on 9/14/16 at5:15 for dinner. Beer flat and warm. Veggies that came with our wings old and soggy. Quinoa puffed chicken salad was absolutely disgusting. No dressing and soggy. Looks like they were serving us old food from the lunch run. We used to be JA regulars and have never been so disappointed. This chain is going downhill :( My advice to you...go across the street to Joey's or the Keg. read more

I've been coming to this Jack Astors location for decades and the staff always make you feel at home and comfortable. The food is affordably priced with a wide selection. There is a great patio with televisions and in the summer has a one man band once and a while. Friendly staff and good food. What else do you want? Way to go Jack Astors. Keep doing what you're doing. read more

Nothing really special about this location for a Jack Astor's. We come here to watch soccer games when the Euro or World cup is on. Service is pretty good. Food is pretty good. Restaurant is clean. Not very busy even on weekends. Overall no complaints at all. Will come back for sure. read more

Jack's is a SIR corp chain. This particular Jack's has been at the same location for quite a while now and I've seen them flip their menus many times as they don't have the same thing and seem pretty dynamic. What I do miss the complimentary garlic bread in the small pan. THAT was amazing. You can still add it to a meal or buy it by itself but IMO it was one of the reasons to go to Jack's in the first place kind of how Red Lobster has their garlic cheese biscuits. It's like a carb staple that people would cheat their diet to have. They have a pretty spacious patio facing the new north west section of Sherway Gardens and while the patio is nicely covered the seating is a mix. You have your low seating near the perimeter and group high long benches in the middle sort of separates the high from the low seated crowd and high tables along the side of the wall. We decided to sit on the patio tonight seeing as how the weather was sort of decent and these days the inside seemed a little darker and the AC was blasting hard. Now don't me wrong I like comfortable AC but sometimes and in some areas it can be too strong. I felt it's almost cold inside and I'm not really one to complain about that. The menus seem sort of simple and limited I suppose even though there's a wide variety. Between standard type starters and some special starters from the feature menu there are some choices but not too many that appeal to me. When I go to a bar you expect the expected sort of like nachos, wings etc. Some of the featured apps were a couple kinds of poutine, one of which had pierogies on it. I like pierogies but not on poutine. The other one had vegetables on it. We just went with the calamari which was a decent size and was ok. Besides the choices of chicken parm, fish and chips, sandwiches, burgers, chicken fingers etc this fare basically is just so common and you see it just about everywhere. Nothing really special here that stands out (besides their bread) so overall I have to say with a variety of choices they seem pretty mundane for a city that has some of the best restaurants and diversity of cuisines in the country, this place makes itself just another chain with a mundane selection of SAFE choices. I went for a burger again which seems to be a fallback choice for me these days. I'm not about to get pad thai or chicken parm at a chain restaurant any time soon because those dishes can be had elsewhere, probably for less and "more" authentically true. The burger I went with was the Holy Smoke that had smoked bacon, American cheese, hickory mayo, smoky BBQ sauce, crispy fried onions, and pickled banana peppers. This meal came with a side of fries and was just OK. Like I said nothing spectacular here and really nothing special. Standard is as standard does equals 3*. read more

Went here for dinner with my brother and I can't complain at all. Service was amazing and the waiter was rather funny which made our night better. We shared nachos, and he ordered a burger and I ordered the chicken bowties. My brother said his burger was great. My bowties were amazing, but those never seem to disappoint at any jackastors. Overall great time and would go again read more

Was greeted with a smile. Table was ready. Waitress was kind and considerate. We were not rushed but the service was quick. The food was delicious.

I will come again! Enjoy!!! read more

I always love going here. The service is hit and miss but it's like that anywhere! Food is always great, atmosphere is fun and enjoyable; you can't go wrong by going here!

If you are looking for a place to go, family friendly, not insanely overpriced, with a bunch of food options this is definitely the place to go! read more

OMG what happened to Jack Astor's. The worst food I have ever had.. wet soggy bland chicken, with a side of make me puke parmesan fries, soggy croutons, bruschetta that would make my mom roll over in her grave...was anything good???

Very pleasantly surprised by our Jack Astor's experience yesterday. The restaurant has definitely stepped up its game. We sat outside and enjoyed a few beverages - excellent selection of beer and the sangria was very refreshing. Noshed on some chicken skewers and the vegetarian nacho board. Very good flavours and nicely presented. Service was very good by the team and our designated server. read more

During my stay in Toronto I ate at this place 3 times. The first time I had the 3 cheese macaroni that left my head spinning! The second time I have the chili cheese nachos which hit every spot on the way down. On my last day in Toronto I had the BBQ Bacon Burger and I originally thought it would be too messy as depicted but it was mouthwatering. The garlic bread appetizer was good too! Absolutely love this place and can't wait to return! In the picture attached the Mac and cheese comes with more food, I just couldn't stop eating long enough in the beginning to take a full picture! read more

Went for lunch with friends. The server was very good and attentive. As for the food I had the club which I found it did not have allot of chicken. Overall I found the portions to be small with both the sandwich and fries but charged a hefty price for it. Overall it was just okay. read more

I like the food here. But I'm tired of music so loud that I walk out with a freaking migraine. It's NOT A NIGHT CLUB....LAST I CHECKED, IT'S A RESTAURANT.....??!! And what makes it worse is that I wrote SIR, the company that owns Jack's...They couldn't even be bothered to respond to my email. So, until the excessively LOUD MUSIC ISSUE IS RESOLVED, my rating is now 1 star! And if you don't want to shout to your table mates, or go deaf.... I suggest that you try somewhere else! Sad, cause their food is good! read more

Good service on a Thursday evening, especially during a busy night when there was a Raptor's game on. We both ordered their famous chicken tenders and fries which were great, except the fries were extremely salty. So definitely watch out for that. read more

Had a friend visiting from out of town, and came here for her to get her "fix" of Jack's Asiago Chicken Bowtie pasta. She really enjoyed it, although the amount of chicken seemed a little skimpy. I ordered the miso tuna bowl, but asked them to forego the rice. This may be the cause of why my dish was so salty (not enough carbs to balance out the salty miso?) But the tuna was seared nicely; still raw in the middle - exactly how I liked it. Prices at Jack Astors have gone up over the years, but fortunately, I had a $10 off $30 coupon (based on visiting another location earlier in the month). This made our meals more reasonable. Service, as expected at Jack's most of the time, was friendly and capable. The only strange thing was that we were brought our bill, before we were finished, and before we were asked if we wanted dessert. Thus, when I presented the coupon, the server had to go and re-do the bill again. Usually, we expect to be asked if we'd like to order anything else before being presented with the bill. We were not long, and it was not busy, so not sure why we were rushed. read more

Overpriced! Jack Astors isn't what it used to be. Service was non-existent. The steak is a joke for $22.00. Chicken fingers ($15) did not taste "fresh and made in house", as advertised. 100% were frozen chicken fingers. Fries were cold and soggy. The chicken sandwich was 75% bread 25%chicken. Lastly the "lobster spinach cheese dip" was just cheese dip with tons of mushrooms and zero lobster to be found! Beer was ridiculous. Pitcher of Rolling Rock for 23.00$?!?!?! I understand if we were downtown Toronto, but we were in Etobicoke across from Sherway. Will not return! Too bad Joeys Sherway was packed. read more

Colour me impressed. I stopped going to Jack Astor's about a year ago after they switched chefs and got rid of their three peppercorn grilled chicken rigatoni. I was devastated, and swore I would never return until they brought by back my beloved dish. Fast forward to the present where I find myself desperately trying to find a restaurant I can eat at, having discovered I have a gluten allergy. Ick. Although hesitant, we decided to give Jack Astor's another go. I'm glad I did. After requesting it our server brought me the allergens/nutrition menu. When she took my order, she confirmed my allergy, and reported it to the kitchen. Shortly thereafter, a chef came to our table to confirm something with me about my allergy, and when my food was delivered, it was brought my a manager who promised that everything had been prepared away from gluten and would be safe for me to consume. No restaurant has ever gone out of their way like that to make sure my allergy was taken seriously. A large portion of restaurants just slap a disclaimer on their menu saying that they "can't guarantee that there won't be cross contamination." Jack Astor's took the time to make sure me and my stomach left happy. Jack Astor's has won over my heart again. read more

Lately, everything I've ordered at any location of Jack Astor's has been spicy. I thought "steak" would've been a safe option; it was lovely - small, cooked to perfection, BUT after two bites, spicy and not so pleasant. Next time I go, Caesar Salad, it is. Reasons to not go to Jack Astor's? 1. There's always other options around Jack, often better. 2. The waitresses really don't ever give a shit about you. Or if you're enjoying your food. I've never met a pleasant one. Although most are pretty darn hot. 3. For the price you pay, you could get something far better. 4. Loud. Always. I should remind myself again and again. For some reason, I keep going back. read more

On one of my last nights in Toronto, a couple of us decided to grab dinner at Jack Astor's. I'd never been to this location and to be perfectly honest, I'd only ever had one experience with a Jack Astor's restaurant. This particular location is massive and I gotta say, the service was excellent. Our food was delicious (the best veggie burger I've had in a looooong time) and our server was cool in that she let us stay and hang out well after our meals were finished. I liked the ambiance a lot and for whatever reason, they were playing the GREATEST old-school tracks! Everything from the Crows' 'Mr. Jones' to Def Leppard's 'Pour Some Sugar On Me'. We had a great time and I really have no complaints. Good job you guys! read more

This place is a disaster. You wait much longer than the time the staff tell you. The front door staff is rude and seems to not have patience when dealing with customers. I plan on never returning to this location. read more

Good food. Good beer. Abysmal service. We waited and waited and waited for our server (the place was less than half full) and when she finally showed up - she sucked. Never checked on us, forgot our drinks, etc. I was happy with my meal, however. I had the fajitas and they were well seasoned, well proportioned and completely delicious. I also loved my beer (Rickards Red). The rest of group was equally happy with their meals (mainly steak salads and fajitas). One suggestion I would have for this place would be to get rid of the wait staff / management and let the diners go back and place their own orders, get their own food, etc. I know it sounds unrealistic, but the only thing I can find wrong with this restaurant is the service... it was a total train-wreck. read more
