    Fish n chips
    Shammy S.

    We stopped in while passing through town heading down the 401. We needed somewhere somewhat quick bit a sit down and not fast food. In Quebec this chain has a big menu, but this was limited to 1 page. Chicken sandwich was great, the nachos were ok and the buffalo burger and fish n chips were really underwhelming. Staff was attentive. Kitchen was slow and the place was rather empty mid afternoon. Would try elsewhere next time we're driving through.

    Ahi Tuna Salad

    We came here with a group of 10 on a Sunday night for dinner. The difference between availability over the weekend is nuts! We tried coming with a smaller group on Friday and were quoted wait times of 2-3 hours. On Sunday the 2nd floor of the restaurant was blocked off and it didn't seem like the patio was open since it was cooler that day. There were lots of open tables. The service was decent considering there were so many of us. A little bit slower but not horrible. I was trying to be healthy so I ordered the ahi tuna poke salad. This was more of the more expensive salads, presumably because of the fish. It was really a grand presentation when it came out. The fish was all on one section of the plate with the salad piled high in a heaping mountain. The entire plate was super seasoned - almost excessively so. Part of the salad was a tiny bit spicy - just a hit of heat. To immediately cancel out the health benefits of the salad, I split a "My Cookie Ate Your Brownie" for dessert. This was a giant chocolate chip cookie that was stuffed in the center with a brownie. The whole thing was warm and a bit melty. The outside edges of the cookie were still crisp while the rest was soft. This was really to die for. It was just right for 2 people.

    Great place! Be sure to be seated on the rooftop if possible. The hostess asked if we wanted outside but we didn't know it was rooftop so we passed. Gnats are bad, especially in the second floor restroom. Although we were inside the flies and gnats were bothersome. Our waitress was terribly slow. We were looking for another place to go when she finally came with menus. The food was good! I had the pad Thai and my husband had one of their chicken dishes. My husband wanted another beer but our waitress didn't come back until we were finished eating. I would give them another chance, but we would definitely sit in the rooftop.

    Beer and the huge green goblet (forgot the name)

    The rooftop patio gives a great view of the bell tower and the whole city. Wonderful vibe and music. Food were great, and the green cocktail goblet was huge (and very pleasant to view). Love the lobster and crab dip especially as it was neither too bland nor too salty. Will come back again if given another time to visit Kingston in summer.

    The steaks are good and the drinks taste like a glass of juice lol. I can't remember the beverage name but, it's so good to enjoy with the steak, cheers.

    Loves talking. hates working. red sweater.

    Definitely the best place to go if you love slow service. Our waitress Kailee enjoyed talking to her friends behind the bar more than checking in on us. Over our 2 hour stay she managed her way over to us a total of 2 times. Drinks took 40 minutes to receive and the food you wouldn't even want to believe. We could see our drinks waiting on the bar for our waitress to pick up but she never did. Blamed it on being busy but would stand and talk for 30 minutes without ever doing any actual work. Overall the worst experience i've ever experienced in kingston and would never come back due to the lack of respect for their customers. Wish we could give it a 0/5. Save your money and go somewhere else where you won't need to wait 2.5 hours for an hour dinner. Word of advice, Jack Astors; do better and hire responsible people to work.

    Came here for a Sunday family dinner. Atmosphere is probably the best attribute is this restaurant. Food is terrible and so is the service. Attractive waitresses cannot compensate for the shitty food you try to jamb down people's throats here. I ordered fish 'n chips and an hour later I received very burned batter and raw fish. I'm guessing oil was too hot? If you are in Kingston, there are better places than this. Sad to say this, but this is coming from a Jack's shareholder(FFH)

    Kingston has stiff competition when it comes to restaurants, considering all the amazing local spots. Although this is a chain restaurant, this location really stands out, and we eat here often! The margaritas are absolutely delish, not too sweet at all. I always order the chicken fingers (I opt to get them tossed in buffalo sauce) and upgrade to sweet potato fries or the poutine. A bit expensive for a chain, but the food quality is top notch. Chicken fingers sound like such a standard dish, but not here. They're impossibly tender and succulent, battered to perfection! I changed it up and ordered a salad last time...wasn't that impressed, but I won't hold that against them. In the summer, the rooftop patio is the place to be, if you can get a table. Great spot!

    The food was great, the service was ok, but the music was a bit too loud. Overall, it's a rear place to enjoy beer, wings and sports.
