Okay so basically depending on the busy-ness of this place, is the quality of service you will get. I usually always come here on the weekends which usually means this place is always packed. FYI This location is near square one which is basically downtown Mississauga. The food here is usually good, but the service is either a hit or miss. The few times I'v been coming here the service has been wishy-washy. If I didn't have a heart, I wouldn't even have left a tip, but I can't really do that. But honestly, Not enough servers on a busy weekend? Really? If they fixed this, the service would most likely be better. Anywho, what I do recommend is The Feta Bruschetta, The bow tie pasta, the chicken BLT poutine and the drinks. Oh and I swear by The Cheesecake they have here, So try the cheesecake! If your coming here for the food, okay. If your coming looking for Good service, don't bother. I'll most likely keep coming back for the food, and because i'm always usually around the area. Meaning...next time hopefully I'll get better service. *fingers crossed* read more

I've been to this restaurant several times, but first time reviewing the food. I was expecting a 5 star since I had never had a bad experience. This time was not that great, it was a late night poutine and calamari. Let's start with the poutine, I remember it being amazing and drench with gravy. This time around it was mediocre. It was a tea spoon of gravy and not very good cheese curds. I would've been better off with a basket of fries with gravy on the side. Please readers don't waste your time ordering this fake poutine. Second is the calamari, it was alright. I feel like it was store bought, but bonus points on the sauce. Without the sauce, it would've been another mediocre meal. What made this place a must return joint is the music and entertainment tv. It was amazing and kept the mood happy which hid all the deficiency of the food. Next time I come back, I'll stick with the burger and fries and pasta meals. 3 star since I've had good experiences before. Please Jacks, step up your game. read more

I came here after my college graduation. It was fairly busy as there was a hockey game and other graduates, but not too bad. The food came at a reasonable time... and then a cockroach crawled right beside my arm. Needless to say, the table lost its appetite. My father went to the front desk to complain, wasn't attended to for multiple minutes (nobody was at the station), then once he was spoken to by the manager, nobody came to ask if we wantes anything cleared from our tables for almost 20 minutes. This wasn't even the worst part. I tweeted my displeasure to the corporate Twitter account only for them to block me. Never have I experienced such awful customer service, from top to bottom. A horrible end to what should have been an evening never to forget. But now I'll remember it for the wrong reasons read more

A little pricier than usual but still good quality food. Staff gave me a bit of a dirty look when I took three lollipops on the way out. The patio is very nice and has a mist maker when it is really hot out as well as a heater when it is cool so it will always be a good choice. read more

You know, I've been going to Jack Astor's (this location specifically) since high school and it doesn't seem as though the place has changed that much. When it comes down to it, that's actually not a bad thing at all. The food is still pretty good for a big chain, the fun atmosphere is basically the same as it was then and the waitresses are still pretty cute even if I'm now older than most of them. I went most recently with the family and the fiancée (don't tell her what I said about the waitresses) and had a perfectly fine time. The booths seem a little bit more cramped but that probably because everyone is a little bigger (except for me, I weigh the same as I did in high school). The menu has changed some I'm sure but so long as the delicious, irresistible and impossibly greasy cheesy garlic pan bread is still there, I'm happy. The Elvis booth is still in the corner and the décor is still garish as ever. You get the point. I had the aforementioned cheesy bread (and actually shared some with the table), plus the Sweet & Spicy Tofu Fajitas...I first discovered them about a year or so ago and it was actually the first restaurant that I recall adding a proper protein to the vegetarian fajitas rather than just hold the meat. It's a nice (and important) touch and the fact that they're seasoned quite nicely is always a plus. Choice of Smokey BBQ, Teriyaki or (my choice) Spicy Jalapeno is also a nice touch. Everyone else had some sort of chicken sandwich or beef dip and there were no complaints. Special mention to the good fries and nice selection of beers on draught...not an extensive wine list or any fancy cask ales but this isn't the kind of place you go to for that. So yeah, it's a chain but it's a pretty good one and I'm never disappointed. I like the food just fine and I prefer it over the fancier and more expensive places like Milestone's, Earl's or Moxie's. Maybe it's just the fond memories of coming here during lunch, promising to make it back before the next period and usually missing that goal by a long shot. Or maybe it's still pretty good. read more

I don't think I have ever had a bad meal at Jack's and if there ever was a problem they are very fast to remedy it with over compensation. I have been going to Jacks for years because I know it will always end well weather just an anniversary for 2 or a birthday party for 20. Just one thing... TURN THE BLOODY MUSIC DOWN! Just a hair or 2 on the dial. I can't hear my own thoughts let alone what the waitress or the people I'm sitting with are saying. ITS MADDENING! read more

Visited on a Sunday night around 6:30pm. The outside patio area was completely full, so we were told to check inside. Luckily, there were tables for our party of 8, and we were seated within 15 minutes! Our server was extremely helpful and dropped by a couple of times during the meal to check up on us as well. 4 of us split appetizers/starters and our bills were handled very well. I split a guacamole chip dip. For about $7 it was a decently portioned size, with enough guac for the chips. For my main, I had chicken fingers with fries. It was about $14 and the portions tended to be large though. The actual quality of the food wasn't stellar though, everything was more or less as expected. read more

This place is def my last choice. I don't know if I am ordering the wrong things but the food is always lacking. One time my salad was frozen, literally frozen! Their veggie burgers are really not on par either. I wouldn't recommend this place for take out. read more

The food here is amazing and the service is awesome. I love our server Amy!!! Super friendly and made the experience just that more awesome. I had the "meatless burger" ha! Screw that I got them to put meat on that bad boy! The toppings sounded awesome and I wanted meat. Damn right I was getting it. To go with my awesome burger I got the new Lobster Fries. Super yummy!! These are a must try if you come here. The ssuce is so good, lighter than hollandaise sauce. and so much lobster. It was better than I expected. My boyfriend got the " holy smoke bbq burger" with extra banana peppers and fried onions. He loves it's, it's to die for. Super spicy, very juicy, flavorful.. If you live spicy food you got to try this. To go with his burger he had the " ghost pepper poutine", which extra spicy and still amazing. So again love spicy food you have to try this. This place is a must if you want amazing food, service, atmosphere and overall great night. Even if your here for drinks and appetizers you will never be disappointed. Again a big thank you to our server AMY!!! Super awesome person and amassing at making your night that much better. read more

Ordered the nachos with beef chili as an appetizer and it was pretty good. Guacamole was okay but have had better elsewhere. As an entree I ordered the Bourbon Street steak with shrimp dressed in a red pepper sauce and mashed potatoes. The steak was ordered medium rare but received medium and was quite tough to eat towards the end. Shrimp was quite good and the mashed potatoes were great. The s'mores sundae for dessert was very good although there seemed to be way more chunks of marshmallow than vanilla ice cream. Overall the food was fine. Went to use up a gift card but there are more enjoyable places to hit up in Mississauga for the same price points. read more

Had a pretty good experience at this Jack Astor's location. I had just gotten off the bus so Jack Astor's was one of the closest options for food. Where I was first seated seemed to have a vent above circulating ice cold air. I asked another served and thankfully they were able to switch us to a booth in a warmer section of the restaurant. The service was fine. Perhaps may have been better if my server had check in with me more than the one time once the food was delivered. My only real complaint is that the French fries weren't hot. read more

From my 8 yr old daughter: I would give it a zero of I could! It's the worst place ever! Never come here. The service is terrible and the food is really bad. It's even worse then Arby's! We always have to wait for a long time just to get our drinks and our food takes forever to be made. Servers are really lazy - VERY poor service. Only good thing about there is leaving!They allow smoking on the outside, and as you know as kids come in it isn't very good for them. So if don't you want your kids to be sick and you also don't want yucky-nessb you do not want to go there!!! read more

I'm rating this jack Astor's 5 stars because of the service. I've been to several jack Astor's in downtown Toronto and in the GTA, however the servers specifically in this location are far more friendly, cheerful and accommodating than other locations. The food was okay, but I was grateful they were able to accommodate our party of 8 at such late notice. read more

Took my friend out for a 'cheer up' dinner a few days ago. It was his idea, so I said sure why not. I've been here many, many, times. I mean, who in Mississauga hasn't. From birthday dinners to sports events to even 'cheer up' dinners. It's safe to say, I've pretty much tried everything on the menu. Our server that night was Ray. She was absolutely delightful. I know in my other reviews I say servers are generally nice - but she was GENUINELY nice. I complimented her on her make-up and eyelashes and we ended up talking about lashes for a good 10 minutes. Random, I know! I wanted nachos and Ray recommended I get the 'Old Fashioned Macho Nachos'. They were delicious! I asked for extra salsa and my girl came through with extra, extra salsa! YES. After a little while, we noticed she was busy with other tables and we had to go. So we flagged down the closest server to us and asked for the bill. He said, "sure no problem" and never came back to our table. We later saw him cleaning and setting up another table up. So naturally we knew he forgot. We didn't bother asking him again. A manager (I think) saw us waiting and we finally got our bills. We waited a total of 20 minutes to pay. That was my only dilemma was waiting for our bills. Other than that, overall service and food was good. I just want to commend Ray for the personable service. You are the true definition of a girl's girl! read more

So frustrated. As usual the service was slow. The food was bad. We told the waiter we didn't like it and he said "no eh?" And then nothing else. We asked about a gluten free dessert option and he said "uh I don't think so". No offer to find out for us, no concern for our satisfaction. I used to love it here but find it so frustrating now. Even little details, like the cherry coke sometimes comes with a cherry and sometimes doesn't. I prefer to know I can count on the quality and on what exactly I'm getting. So disappointed. read more

Oh...Jack Astors! Brings back the many high school memories of movies and dinners, birthday parties with singing wait staff, waiting with that red buzzer forever and lollipops! Somehow besides their pan bread and nachos I don't remember much else about their food. They did start doing craft beer a few summers ago because BF and my first date was a beer on a cold September patio. Went back for an actual meal last week with his parents and we sat at the bar instead of waiting for a table on Family Day= smart move! Two burgers, 1 salad and a fajita bowl was ordered. I enjoyed the fries a lot (crispy, not overly tasting like oil) My entree of the bowl was pretty good, the beans, veggies, brown rice and avocado made a great combination. The server was friendly even though I changed my mind after ordering. Everyone got a different beer and no complaints there either. I wish they had some vegan options on the menu, but I was able to create a veggie option by ordering the steak bowl with the steak on the side. Better than a plate of nachos for dinner :/ Yay for the craft beers and the renos in the bar but the tables and chairs are too close together! Still holds a dear spot in my heart and I think I'll try to visit again in the summer on their patio! read more

Best appetizers there are nachos and the bruschetta bread. The service is quick but can be slow at times, if it is busy or if they are understaffed. Overall, good service and great food! read more

I like to think animals die for a cause. Cooking burgers all done is just not right. Two stars is only because the waitress went above and beyond to help me. read more

Three stars is a gift. I have been to a couple of these and they are generally pretty good. Not this one and not this evening. I sat at the bar and the bar tender is what saved this from being one star. He was nice, friendly, courteous, and attentive. The food was not. I paid extra for truffle fries as a side and they were dry lifeless things. I had the Jack'd up bacon cheese burger that says it comes with a thick pile of bacon. Nope. It had a couple of slices but this is not burger king and it is not burger king prices. The three patties were over cooked five minutes before they took them off the griddle. One more minute and the Maple Leafs could have used them for practice. Nice place, nice service, terrible food. At least at this location. read more

Went here with family as the place is around the corner from where I am staying for the next two weeks. The place has a nice ambiance. I liked the service. I thoughts the prices were high for a family bar/restaurant and the food was just average. The nachos were the best choice, but we also had the garlic cheese breads and lobster/crab dip for appetizers. We were a party of 6 and we all had sandwiches, except for the fish and chips. The portions are very generous. I'll come back and will try other items. read more

I went to jackastors today with my friends. Ou server victoria was very nice and helped us to choose our food!

Football Sunday and guess who got a $100 Tab compliments of Jack Astors. Yip, your girl SURE DID :) Next time you are at Jacks , put your name in the VVVIP draw. Once your name gets drawn, they send an email out to you with a reservation time for Sunday. There's a winner EVERY week - as in you have a good chance of winning if you put your name in. The email confirms the name the table will be arranged for and they give you a specific time you have to make for. You cannot reschedule or move the date. You are able to bring up to 3 friends :) First rounds of drinks were on Jacks so you know I had to Pint it up right? The waitress was really sweet with explaining how the VIP tab works. It's pretty much $100 on any food on the menu and only the first round of alcoholic drinks are covered with the deal. Wings 2 pds honey garlic and medium calamari Kafta plate humus with shreds of lettuce and 4 skewers of lamb kafta. spicy comes with a side of flatbreads chkn quesedillas - my favourite smoked mtl meat poutine pickes mustard gravy smoked beef meat Bowtie pasta w chkn (to go) - free evening dinner - Noiceee. earl grey tea (starbucks cups with tazo fancy brand tea) which was just super rich. cookie desert with vanilla icea cream - 1 scoop and 2 scoops of reese's peanut butter scoops. Drizzled with chocolate sauce on top of whip cream and a piece of strawberry. the chocolate brownie sundae was a small version of all the mixtures mentioned above minus the cookie. The bill came up to $126.57 and the manager told us not to worry about the bit extra. So we ended up just paying for tip. I've said this before, there's a reason why this franchise does so well in it's category. It is the go to choice of restaurant for anyone and everyone's dinner/lunch/breakfast(if it was socially accepted). Random wise quote: Love at first sight means you'll never stop looking. When it comes to Jacks - Why keep looking if you've already found the one? my "i told you so" moment : It pays to read my reviews. Pays you $100 to spend at Jacks!!. xoxo - sharing foodie love, one bite at a time. M. read more

On a recent business trip, I had my mind set on food...but work gets in the way and GTA traffic is terrible (IDK how citizens of Toronto deal with it!!!). After discovering the establishment I wanted to dine at was closed for remodel...we wandered our way to JA (literally across the parking lot!). It was a little later in the evening, so finding a seat wasn't difficult. This place reminded me of Champps back home, plenty of TVs on the walls, loud, smell of onion rings and plenty of adult bevs being poured. We were in Canada (darn Americans!) and had to get classic poutine and wings...c'mon, you can never go wrong with wings, yeah?! The poutine showed up looking like it was put into a Chinese take-out container, cooked and dumped out of the box...keeping it's box form; yeah, that happened. It was alright, but I'm sure there were much better versions out there. The wings were your oh-so-typical wings you find at any sports bar in North America...nothing to write home about. I love burgers (who doesn't?) and landed on the Holy Smoke BBQ Burger, topped with smoke bacon, BBQ sauce, BBQ pulled pork, friend onions and banana peppers, YES!!! So, what I perceived as amazing on paper, i.e. the trusty menu, showed up as something not so thrilling. The beef was bland, pulled pork was somehow lumpy...how is that possible?! Overall, not amazed, but I was hungry and needed nourishment...down the hatch! Find another place to drop a couple loonies... read more

If you're looking for a lively bar scene and good atmosphere rolled into a restaurant, this is the place. Although I would not recommend this location for a family outing, I found our Saturday night to be a great time! Jacks offers all the classic chain restaurant options, as well as a fun drink menu and a plethora of flatscreen tv's. May I recommend the raspberry iceberg beer! Be prepared for a wait to get a table, but we sat in the bar area and waited all of 5 minutes. The crowd seemed to be early-mid twenties, lively but not out of control. Fairly different than other Jacks I've been to, as it seems to be more bar, less restaurant, BUT a great spot if you're looking for fun drinks with friends. read more

Fun times for all. The food and drinks at Jack Astor's are mighty dependable. Try the rigatoni or the bowtie pasta! AND their garlic pan bread.... heart attack inducing buttery goodness... I'm a fan of the posters specifically in this Jack Astor's. Funny stuff. The music they spin isn't too shabby either. Service was a little scattered the night my coworkers and I came to this Jack Astor's location, but all-in-all, we're probably coming back this week. read more

Not a while lot to say about this place that hasn't already been said - honestly Jack Astor's is just a pricey American restaurant. I will say that this location is a little better than most just because of the patio in the summer, which is so beautiful at night! read more

Came to this location because nothing else was open around. I had the smokey jalapeno burger. The burger tasted weird. The nachos were standard fare. The fries were awesome. Like the paper table cloths. read more

I used to avoid going to this location due to a prior experience but the food has gotten better. The gf and I sat in the patio on the first nice day of spring and to our surprise they had some new menu items that they were testing. These items were exclusive to this location so we decided to try the asian nachos and korean chicken tenders with perogie fries. The nachos were good as crispy wonton chips were used and the chicken tenders had a nice crunch to them as well. The perogie fries tasted great but can get fairly heavy. My only issue is that I found the sauces used in both dishes to be a little too sweet and that coupled with the chicken wings (which were sauced table side) my gf ordered made it difficult to finish. Our server was very attentive and always checked up on us. Overall, not a bad meal for a chain. read more

I know I know... what am I doing in Mississauga?! Well my girlfriend lives in one of those glitzy new condo buildings that surround the colossal Square One shopping centre. And I discovered that Mississauga really is stuck in this interesting melange of suburban-urban with skyscrapers and condo buildings paired with restaurants such as Jack Astor's and a Wal-Mart. Bizarre to say the least, but yet an interesting progression in urban planning. Hurricane Hazel has constructed an interesting kingdom for her minions. Anyways--to my actual review of this restaurant. I mean, it's a chain right?! Like it really shouldn't even be reviewed on a site like Yelp, right?! Well truthfully I really had a f-ing fabulous time last night at this outpost of the popular chain! I had a Steamwhistle beer (which they had on tap!!! amazing!!!). There are over 20 beers on tap! no more musty beer from a can for me! The cocktails were fabulous too like wowwowow loved them. So delicious, if not a little watered down. The 'jacked size,' or whatever clever term they assign to upsizing the quantity of alcohol, is worth it IMHO. The food was great too--I highly recommend the 'sauced never frozen chicken fingers,' the battering is not too heavy, and the chicken is like melt in your mouth good. Now I know I'm talking about this place like a 5-star restaurant in Vieux-Montreal but actually you have to take this place for what it is and appreciate the drinks, and food for what they are. And they're great! Our waitress Lisa was sosososo fun! she put up with our drunk asses after downing a few of those Jack-sized cocktails. She was prompt, and sweet, and attentive. Unlike that skanky cesspool of a place, Earls, over at the mall where the waitresses are fierce (and not in the gay good way). Lisa even emptied the ashtray a few times while we were smoking, not letting more than a few butts pile up. Class act! Earls told us to leave when one of us lit up near the patio! Anyways: Mississauga you're not so bad. Jack Astor's you're so suburban chic! read more

Update - the manager contacted me and apologized for the service that day . Happy that they follow up With their customers and try to fix the situation . I have updated the rating based on my post experience . Original post :? We came here for dinner on Jan 26. the steak was chewey and not cooked right . Some Chicken fingers were mushed together and were cold inside which means they were cooked in a hurry ? It's deep fried chicken. I don't know how you get that wrong at a restaurant. we asked for a takeaway box for the fries - that took another 25 minutes because they forgot. We didn't finish the steak - the server asked us why and we told her - so she she she will see if they can make it up to us . First good thing to happen . So we wait another 20 minutes so one shows up with an update . So we leave . From 7 to 9pm this was our experience. Servers were nice but food needs to be better . Maybe they were understaffed. read more
