    Chicken quesadilla and coleslaw
    Clement R.

    Since becoming a parent since end of 2023, I'm learning to appreciate parents trying to feed a toddler at a family restaurant. So my wife and I were hunting for a place do hangout over the long weekend and we decided to go with Jack Astor's. The summary is this: family friendly, great service, good food options for everyone and most importantly they're fun. I made a reservation for the 3 of us just to make sure. When we arrived, front desk promptly got us to a booth seat. Offered us choices of booster or high chair. We ended up bringing our own cause it's just easier for us. Anyhow... the server was excellent and gave us lots of help and fun to talk to. We ordered food shortly after: kids burger, chicken club and buffalo blue chicken sandwich. The food came out not long after and it tasted great! Ambiance is lively and fun.

    Last week, I visited Jack's for Super Bowl Sunday and I was very happy with my experience! Given how busy the venue was for the Super Bowl Sunday, the staff were still attentive and gave great suggestions for drinks and food. The quality of the food was good given how busy the event was!

    I was not happy about the Caesar drink, it taste like blah, so water down, not spicy, no alcohol taste or even a tomato taste. Of course no kick. The patios have heaters, staff are friendly.

    Steak and fries. Tacos and baked potato

    Came here after the grand opening and had a great time! Ordered the steak and fries, and it was much tastier than I've thought. The steak was delicious and cooked to perfection. The tacos and baked potato was also very tasty. Would def get this again! P.S get the hot sauce, it makes the food flavourful!

    The ambience and happy hour were great. Drinks were top notch. First time trying poutine, was tasty but not my thing. Server was friendly and engaging.

    Recently renovated and reopened last Friday. They have a promotion for their reopening of $25 off a minimum spend of $55 on food and non-alcoholic beverages for dine in only. We ordered their tiny tuna tacos, which were, in fact, tiny and came in wonton shells. They were good, but a little heavy on the sauce. We also ordered their holy smoke bbq burger and fish tacos. The burger was on the greasier side, but the pickles on the side helped. I wish there were more than two slices of pickles. Their fish tacos were good but come in flour tortillas. I like to spice mine up with their hot sauce. The loaded baked potato was huge and delicious. Also tried their spicy grapefruit margarita, which was a miss for me, didn't know where the spicy was. The service was friendly, but the kitchen was a little slow. The weird part is they don't seem to have a machine to come to your table to punch in their gift card, and my server walked off with my phone, which made me feel uneasy.

    Good quick service to grab a bite. Very busy and lively bar scene. Food and service was good.

    We've always come to it's sister restaurant, Scaddabush, adjacent to Jack Astor which was a change for us. It has been awhile since we had frequented this restaurant and to our surprise it offered similar dining choices as a Milestone or Moxie's. Also noted was that there was no more if the rowdy bday greeting that had once before and it was more traditional song as most restaurants. $$-$$$

    Curry bowl (tofu)
    Catherine N.

    Met with family here for dinner (6 of us). Our server was pulled in what appeared to be a few directions from the manager but overall she was great. Food was fine .. I've never been a real fan but it's consistent "OK" food. I ordered the curry bowl from the plant based menu and .. aside from the waiter handing the plate to me HOT (2 fingertips are slightly burned it seems the following day) the food was "fine". Others ordered the pad Thai, pasta, sauces chicken fingers, bruschetta, and desserts. Atmosphere was great ... loud, but great. So if you're looking for average food and OK prices with great service and a decent vibe .. this could your place!

    I didn't go in myself, I dropped ma off for what she thought was karaoke on a Friday night. Turns…read moreout, it was jammy-oke, which, for those unfamiliar, is like karaoke but with a live band. Cool concept if you're into that, but it's definitely a different vibe than choosing a track from a catalog and singing along. From what I gathered, the band was friendly and offered an alternative when they didn't know the song my mom wanted to sing, but she opted out and left shortly after. No big deal. The place looked decent from the outside, kind of like the kind of pub you'd slip into for a pint and some low-key tunes. Later, I mentioned the experience during a karaoke chat somewhere else, and people who had been to Queen Victoria Pub spoke well of the jammy-oke setup. So, while it wasn't the right fit for my mom that night, others seem to enjoy it. Probably worth checking out if you're open to a more live-jam kind of karaoke scene.

    So on a Friday night I suddenly fancied some Fish & Chips. But I am rather fussy about my fish. I…read moredo prefer halibut over haddock or cod. But as many know halibut is a premium fish. But I found this pub had halibut on the menu so I ordered two dinners plus a side (1 lbs) of wings. The food arrived hot and the fish was very good. The portion size was decent and the fries were still edible. I often find when ordered for home delivery fries seldom make the trip. I kind of wished more restaurants/ pubs vented their boxes so the fries did not get too soggy. I did find my order came with a generous portion of tartar sauce but they served white vinegar not malt. A bit of a faux pas here. I did find the wings a bit under done. I guess I prefer a bit of a crisp so I popped those in my air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 ° F. After that they made a tasty side.

If you compared the menu picture and actual drinks you can tell It doesn't look that great. The drink was very heavy on syrup or soda because there was no alcohol in it. I should've just gone to a chain bar to be quite honest. The vibe wasn't bad in terms of music and set up. Im quite surprised the non-alcoholic drink my girlfriend got was over $10. It's just sugar syrup! The service is pretty poor as well. Once the drinks were dropped, we never heard from our server again. The bill came and we got charged 13-15% service charge. It was a bit unfair to be paying that when the menu didn't have any disclaimers about this charge whatsoever. Sketchy bar! We were also told once we seated that we would get charge a cover fee because they were having an event later that evening. Like what?! Clubs downtown would never charge cover if its before a certain time for people who were already in and they were going to charge us after they sat us down? Highly don't recommend unless you just want vibes. LOL you can get vibes anywhere else you go to be honest.

    Finally we get our own hidden bar uptown in Scarborough lol. It is located at the NE of Kennedy and…read moreFinch, Unit 1B - it is facing south, and with ample parking. I came to Dou Yin Bar aka DY Bar during their Soft Opening the past Saturday. My friends and I had a great time! The live music was very entertaining. This night, the duo were singing mainly popular mandarin songs that we know. Occasionally, you will have some brave souls that will take over the mic for a song for two lol. The food is alright - Popcorn chicken and Cuttlefish balls are typical items we see during Asian karaoke lol. I say skip the Ham Egg Noodles, unless you are SUPER hungry, the noods were way too soft for my liking. The cocktail drinks are super pretty and some were quite delicious. Since it was BOGO free during Soft Opening (until Nov 10), we ordered all 10 cocktails lol. I would recommend Kimochii, Berry Lady and Snowball :) The staff hardly speaks English, so make sure you speak slowly and use simpler words. Bring a friend who can speak mandarin would be helpful. If you want one of those nice booths with white couches, the staff mentioned it is minimum spending of $300, but I'm not sure how it works if you have a larger group. Perhaps, the next UYE here?
