My wife and I came in at 2PM, so it was fairly empty and pleasantly quiet. We loved the dirty sodas we had to drink; I was impressed that they managed to make diet soda into something even palatable to me, let alone really rather enjoyable. The garlic pan bread was lovely to start, though perhaps too greasy at the end. For our mains, we each had a cheeseburger (we were feeling basic) but with customizations (not *that* basic): my wife asked to remove one ingredient and add another, while I asked to remove three and add four. The burgers were good too, though I will make sure to ask for no lettuce next time, as its excess moisture seemed to undermine the structural integrity of the sandwich. All in all, I would say the food was only worth four stars. The five stars are for our excellent server, Alexia, who was courteous but not overbearing, attentive but not obsessive, and nailed my overcomplicated burger order, even coming back to check in and make sure she got it right. More than anything, she guaranteed we will be coming back. P.S.: It's very minor and not important to the food or experience, but particularly for a location next to an art-oriented college, maybe quit it with the art-stealing AI slop un-content on the TV screens. I would far rather have no TV screens at all, or blank ones, than AI slop displays. read more

went here twice within three days specifically because of their tossed honey garlic tenders, MY GOD they are so good. otherwise, the asiago chicken bow ties (not the actual portion in the picture, my friend shared her meal) and chicken parm were pretty mid, along with the buffalo chicken mac. basically, not the best food. the ambiance is probably the only reason id come back, its seriously such a good vibe and the dj on both days played hit after hit, definitely need to find his mix. its a good place to meet up with friends for a fun night. oh i also really liked the sweet potato fries read more

I got the Asiago Chicken Bowtie pasta as take out from an Uber BOGO promotion -- I'm a huge pasta fan and was looking forward to trying Jack Astor's. The Square One location has been around absolutely forever but I still found someway to have not gone to it. Maybe for the best, as I have to say I'm not impressed. There's a good portion of chicken, but the pasta ran dry (the sauce container is the size usually used for ketchup haha), the whole meal is pretty salty, and there was so little actual pasta I thought I ordered a children's meal by accident lol. I ordered 4 plates, initially for 4 people, but we ended up having to cook something on the side. For ~$10 a dish, it's barely passable, but for the original price of $20/plate there are many better options out there. Likely won't be coming back for take out or dine in even when it re-opens. read more

Food and ambiance was good had a fun time but the waiter barely checked in with us maybe 2-3 times for the 1 and a half hour we were there plus he called my girl friend "love" would've liked to leave him no tip read more

Lila was our server, and she did a fantastic job! She was attentive to our large group, and made sure everyone got what we requested. The food was as requested, and it didn't take a long time to arrive. The music is a bit loud, but it could've been worse. I'm glad we were seated in the area we were, because other parts seemed really dark. read more

We've always loved the unpretentious nature of Jack Astor's and the quality of their food But what made our visit this afternoon particularly special was: No compromise in the quality or quantity of the food...( in my opinion, not many establishments have been able to do both, post the lockdowns ) A great DJ in the patio Brianna - who looked after us was truly outstanding. Great attitude, a sunny personality, got us as much of the Sambal Oelek paste as we desired (even though by the 3rd request it was clear that the kitchen manager was becoming less pleased with her), and ensured that she handed over our table to one of her colleagues since her shift was ending before we were done She made sure she asked us if it was okay for her to bring us the bill before she left and made it a point to tell us that we could stay for as long as we liked even though we'd settled our bill I was so impressed by her enthusiasm, attention to detail and work ethic I will be back here as much for the food as I will for the service and ambiance PS: and another shout out to JA for resisting the huge temptation to reduce portion sizes post the pandemic. I have no hesitation to support businesses like this... read more

We had a great time here, our server (Lauren) was the best! she filled us in on all the promotions, and let us know what the deals. Our food was great and the drinks were great too. Would definitely come back. read more

Jack's - Fishbowl and menu - Sports Bars Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

We went around 9,30pm and the half-price starts at 9.00pm. It was very busy but we didn't have to wait to be seated. We already had early dinner so we weren't very hungry so we ordered drinks like beer, rum, and coke. We also ordered nachos. As we were waiting I was looking at the menu card and flipped it saw Steve Harvey picture, it was funny. It was a long wait until we got our drinks and nachos. The nachos were good but could have been better. It came with very little chopped onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes. Salsa was good so it balanced. The happy hour from 9pm-close is well worth it. read more

Came with 3 other friends. Can't go wrong with fish and chips at Jack Astor's chain. Big pieces and nicely deep fried. I usually don't eat fried food except at restaurants. Didn't give me any heart burn so I would say the oil used to deep fry was fresh as well. My friends came late so I was seated first which was a surprise to me as usually have to wait for the whole party to arrive especially during Covid. Server was very attentive. I ended up having 2 Canadian and 1 Guinness. There was a seating time limit of 1.5 hours I believe, but the patio had lots of tables and was not that full so we stayed for 3 hours without problem. All very relaxing experience catching up with friends. read more

Jack's - Fish and chips - Sports Bars Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Average waiting time is between 45mins - 1 hour for the patio seating. The set up is good. Scan QR code for Covid information/view menu and mask mandate on entry are the basic steps followed. Wait time for drinks , starters and main course can be long. So unless you are in a hurry it's fine since on a summer Evening it feels good too sit here. Good options for drinks. The fresh guac and chips were good. Thai Sesame chicken stir fry can be substituted with Tofu, shrimp or fried chicken for extra charge. The tofu was a little hard but overall loved the sauce and the veggies. The holy smoke burgers come with coffee of side and the sweet potato fries were good Overall this was a good experience! read more

Went here for dinner tonight, a Friday at 4:30. There was hardly anyone at that time but by 6:00 it was really starting to fill up. This place has a cool feel to it, with a third of it being a bar, and the other 2/3 the dining areas, with lots of booths. It is starting to show its age, especially the washrooms. Our server was friendly and took care of us really well. We ordered the Jack's freshly baked garlic pan bread with cheese and it was to die for. Light and airy sitting in a pool of garlic butter--absolutely delicious. The entree I had was the Memphis NY 11oz steak with veggies and loaded mashed potatoes--it was also delicious. The steak came with a peppercorn sauce on the side, and it was amazing. For dessert we had them make us a custom brownie and ice cream with hot sauce on the side. The vanilla ice cream was good, but the brownie wasn't fresh, dry and crumbly. read more

This is my favourite Jack Astor's to come to. Everyone has always been super friendly and very helpful. I ordered the chicken fingers and a side Mexican salad. The chicken fingers don't usually have a strong flavour from any seasoning, so I got the garlic aioli on the side. Even mixing it in the salad was great. I'd highly recommend this meal to anyone who loves chicken fingers. My go to meal! read more

I liked the trivia. Server was great and so was food. Nice to stop in and see friends. Would Def come again

My wife and I went to Jack's with a few of her friends just before Christmas. We thought it would be a comfortable atmosphere, but we were mistaken. The food was passable, no offense but it is bland and severely overpriced for the quantity for which you pay. My main complaints are as follows: Firstly, your chairs are too high for disabled people. I understand that's why you have booths, but there were none available that night, and no other accommodations were arranged by the FOH staff. Secondly, we were placed at a table that was directly underneath a speaker which was blasting music at decibel levels that nearly deafened us. We asked the server if she could have someone turn down the music so that we could hear each other talk. The server then informed us that they couldn't turn down the noise because of the deejay they had scheduled to perform at Jack's that night. read more

I have come here a couple of times now, and I've found the service and food to be pretty good. Most recently, I came here on a Game Day so naturally, it was pretty busy. Something to note, is on game days, Jack Astors doesn't take reservations. We ordered the standard beer and veggie nachos to start, and they were great. The Nachos were especially tasty because they drizzled some sort of chipotle sauce on top which added a great flavour. Normally, Jack Astors has amazing Chicken Tenders so I decided to order it this time around. To be honest, The chicken was great, but the fries were just lukewarm. Protip, if you get the buffalo sauce on the side, it tastes so much better! Otherwise, if it's tossed in the sauce, the strips can get pretty soggy. read more

I feel this is one of the busiest and friendly Jack Astor's location. We went here in summer and it took us 15 minutes to get seated in patio. They have a great patio. It was a nice warm evening and we ordered beers, wings and nachos. Everything thing was good. Wings stood out for me. We had ordered 2 flavours- toffee chipotle and ginger teriyaki. Both the flavours were amazing. Wings were crispy from outside and juicy inside. The service was friendly. Can't wait to visit again in summer. read more

Unimpressed. They don't have the items that make up the chicken platter. They're not busy right now. Wth?

Rating 2.5. Casual atmosphere but somewhat loud. We came for an event and could not hear any of the presenters. The staff were nice and friendly but rushing around to manage our group and other customers. We had to wait a bit for our food. For our group they served calamari, bruschetta, chicken quesadillas, veg quesadillas and guacamole and corn chips. The guacamole and chips was the only thing I could have that was gf and dairy free. Hubby and I ordered salads for ourselves. He had the tuna one and I had the one that supposed to be mixed greens with arugula and red quinoa and strawberries, apples, pecans (minus the cheese). Sounds good right? Sadly mine was mainly a large bowl of lettuce, no arugula, maybe 1-2 tsp of the quinoa and very little of the other toppings Hubby also had a large bowl of lettuce topped with a decent portion of tuna, but little else. It did not even have any avocado as described. The server brought him some avocado on the side after he pointed it out. The salads are ridiculously expensive (approx. $20 each) so I expect a heck of a lot more than lettuce. Not sure I would invest the time and money to go back and try the pad Thai or curry bowl unless they could guarantee it to be made veg, gf and dairy free, but also with adequate ingredients. read more

Had lunch here with my family of 9. We made a reservation but they didn't have it, they were able to sort it out quickly. FOOD: Not very good but most importantly they did not have any of their Pan Garlic Bread left, which is a little absurd as that's one of their signature items. Sister has an undercooked salmon when asked for it to be medium well. I had veggie burger with poutine. Burger was fine but the poutine was lacking - little cheese and not so crispy fries. SERVICE: Below par for a Jacks. Some of the servers weren't not very attentive and lacking. The undercooked dish was not handled very well, sent it back to us with the same piece of fish rather a new piece. Overall, not the usual Jacks experience. read more

Today my server Hunter was amazing. My sister, her grand-daughter (6 years old), my niece and I visited this Square One Jack's and had the best waiter named Hunter. The booth next to us had a couple with a very ignorant female who felt it necessary to give our waiter a "joke" after we sat down. Thing is, it was just a joke to her! Seems the "joke" was about my family! Although we didn't hear this "joke" it was clear that Hunter was uncomfortable and told her it was distasteful. He left and when he returned he handed them their bill and asked the couple to leave and they were not welcome back. She tried to apologize over and over. But Hunter explained the manager is in agreement and they need to leave. He then came to us several times to apologize. Which was not his responsibility but we were grateful. I am very protective of my family and I could have chosen a different outcome but I was so honored that Hunter stood up for us not even knowing us. I will always visit this restaurant when I am in the square one area and I will ask for Hunter again. His mom/dad should be very proud of him she/he raised a fine young man! If you want to be treated with respect in a restaurant that values their customers please take the time and visit Jack Astor's outside of Square One just in front of the Cineplex. Ask for Hudson he will take care of you! Hunter, thank you again I'm humbled by your actions. read more

I've gotten brain damage from being here. Told me 20 minutes and its passed that long without being given a table. There's constant yelling and the music is so loud that you can't even hear somebody yelling at the top of their lungs. After 20 minutes of waiting, it's now 10 more minutes. Why are we even paying to eat here? Us being here and giving them business is enough payment. Fries were burned and compared to Chuck's Roadhouse where I had a traumatic experience. Have I mentioned the burger yet? I can't even explain it. read more

Landed in Toronto pretty late and stopped by here to grab a quick meal. We ordered the chicken tenders - hot, and they were pretty good. The tenders were juicy and cooked perfect. Came with some fries that were good as well. Service was awesome. Extremely helpful and polite. Gave some helpful suggestions and even talked us into ordering dessert (even though we probably didn't need much convincing). They also have a ton of tv's everywhere. read more

I went to Jacks with a customer to go over some business. The bar area layout was really cool. Lots of different seating options, from tables to high top booths. Our server greeted me as I was waiting for the Rest of the party to arrive. I was provided a drink and waited. When my group arrived we looked at the lunch menu and made a quick decision. I went with the bacon burger, my guests went with the tuna bowl and the chicken finger with a Caesar. The food was spot on. The tuna bowl looked amazing and the chicken fingers were arranged on a plate around the salad. The burger was composed of two smaller patty's which was different. It made them much fryer than if it were one thicker patty. Overall it was a very pleasant experience, and I would bring customers back anytime. read more

Servers were not helpful. Their famous dish, the Beer and Cheddar soup, was so salty it could kill someone. Upon advising the server, he did nothing to rectify the situation, just advised that it's how the food tastes (!?!). Side dish veggies were also drenched in salt. We had a spill at the table and had to clean it up ourselves, as no one noticed. When help was offered, there was no follow through to actually provide the assistance offered. The washroom change tables were filthy and pose a potential health and safety concern. Accessibility buttons were also not working at the entrance. Spend your money elsewhere as there is better food and service down the street at other establishments. read more

This place gets a low rating solely based on the fact that there were 50 empty tables in the dining room and almost no line and yet we still had to wait 30 minutes for a table. This chain needs to stop putting 90% of its effort on the bar. read more

Once again horrible service through this horrible chain. I've always been an advocate but this chain has fallen apart in the last 3 years cold food missing 4 items out of 16.

Short version: Be wary of the opinion of anyone who gives Jack Astor's anything above a 3 star. It means they're either easily impressed, or they're possibly an employee. Even 3 stars is generous, because J. Astor's is the culinary and customer service equivalent of a limp handshake. [rant] We ended up at Jack Astor's because it was late and my companions mentioned that it was one of the restaurants that would still be open. It's very busy; having now tried it, I cannot for the life of me figure out why. I got the Señor Jack's Jalapeño burger. The menu description mentions jalapeños three times and also mentions hot chili sauce. Yet, it tasted like it was drowned in sweet relish. It was poorly made, messy, cold, and a terrible burger in every sense. It was also $14.00. I don't know if this is normal for you Canadians, but that's some serious bamboozlement if you're spending $14.00 for what is no better than a burger from A&W. Actually, that's an insult to A&W burgers. My dining companions got the Hold the Beef Burger, and the Cluckin' Fresh Chicken Fingers. The HTB Burger got a shrug, and the Cluckin' Fresh was Cluckin' burned (burnt for you lovely Canucks). Service was practically nonexistent. We saw our waiter lady person when she took our order. After that, she vanished. She wasn't even the one who brought the food to us, and she never once checked on us during our meal. We saw her again only after I started snapping my fingers (like only a rude American would) in the hopes of getting the attention of someone so we could get out of there. Then she hovered while I paid and calculated how much to tip for the terrible service. Is that a common thing by the way? Standing there and waiting to see how much you get tipped? Meh food = "Meh. I've experienced better." Throw in the ridiculous markup on the aforementioned meh food as well as the incredibly sub-par service, and dropping the rating to "Eek! Methinks not" seems very appropriate. Jack Astor's is an appropriate name, because I felt like one for dropping $50.00+ at this establishment. Considering all of the amazing dining options you have in Toronto/Mississauga, there should be no reason you end up here. Even if everything else is closed, go to a grocery store and slap something together using random ingredients and I can almost guarantee that it'll be a more satisfying (and significantly cheaper) experience. Go here if you want to end your night with feelings of regret and frustration. [/rant] read more

I have visited this jacks out of convenience many times and my experience varies each time but it's never really bad I find the service and food to be faster, more reliable and consistent in the morning, night time seems to be busier and the service greatly suffers. Most of the staff is incredibly young and do not know how to handle large volumes but I do find them reasonably friendly however the lack of experience really shows especially at busy times. Incorrect orders are not uncommon at these times and drink orders seem to take forever with a great deal of inconsistency. The mixed drinks are quite expensive when u think about where you are and what your getting the blue raspberry lemonade is little over $11, maybe Im not a big mix drinker but i find that a little steep for a simple mixed drink. Still i am Absolutely addicted to the twisters they are well worth the price, absolutely delicious! At one point I loved the drink called "red rocket" I believe but I remember ordering it at this location twice and both times it tasted totally different. That is one thing I will say about jack Astors, they do not have consistency across the board and from such a large chain I come to expect this. They have a large patio and dining area but I'm not fond of the bar area... A long channel of high top tables and small booths gives me an awkward feeling like being in a stall like environment with tvs everywhere contained in a cramped space surrounded by glass. However I have rarely been disappointed by the food which is usually very good, everything from steaks, spinach dip to chicken fingers have always been good and the presentation has been very clean as well. My only negative experience was not my own but happened to a friend; they got extremely ill from the lobster and crab dip but that was the only bad thing I can mention. All in all I will def return here as it is one of the most convenient jacks for me to come to, expensive or not I like a lot of the mixed drinks offered and the food is usually good, seems to always be a larger bill but I still enjoy the experience read more
