Came here to watch the gold medal hockey game (7:30am)! Great place to watch sports as they have a lot of TVs! Great service, very fast and attentive. Very spacious, good for large groups and they have a snug area too. They don't have a breakfast menu & didn't add a one-off menu for the early morning opening so for food, we just chose off the lunch menu. We had the garlic pull-apart bread to start and then around 2nd half, I order the fried chicken burger & the smashed potatoes, and my friend got the chicken tenders and fries. They did have coffee & tea so that was good for an early morning drink! I really liked the fried chicken burger. It didn't have much seasoning on it. Temperature wise it was hot, so ideal to wait to bite into it! The smashed potatoes were fantastic - would definitely order that over the fries any day. They needed salt though, which I added. Those would be great for the poutine or the loaded poutine too! read more

We were able to watch the FIFA World Cup game while eating. Lots of TVs and plenty of seating. Staff were super friendly. Food was amazing!! The garlic bread is made fresh each morning and it's light and fluffy. The chicken tacos were great and the sweet potato fries weren't too salty. The pretty in pink refresher was soooo yummy! Nice and refreshing with the perfect amount of sprite and strawberry mix. Would definitely return! read more

This location was great - came with a bunch of friends (about 20 of us) and the staff were super hospitable and accommodating. Our server's name was Tina and she took great care of us all night. We got a round of starters for the table and an assortment of drinks from their happy hour menu. Here's what we ordered: * Asian Wanton Nachos * Loaded Poutine * Calamari There's plenty of seating inside. The walls and even the staff shirts are decorated with punny designs. There's always a sports game playing in the background so never short of entertainment. This location is very convenient, right by Yonge & Bloor subway station. 2025-04-10 read more

This is my type of restaurant. Not pretentious. Good food, good drinks, friendly employees.

I do not often get to visit Jack Astor's on Bloor Street as often as I would like, since I have moved away from Toronto. However, whenever I do find myself in the city, I always try to stop by. The staff provides excellent service, and the food is always served in a timely manner. read more

Jack Astor’s - The Crispy Chicken sandwich with fries - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Siuana was the best waitress ever! I HOPE SHE WORKS ALWAYS- JACK ASTOR'S @DONMILLS! Would go there again in a heartbeat. I hope she is working the next time I go back. Super attentive to our table's needs and super kind! I believe she goes by "Sighhhhh". Thank you! read more

Loved the environment, the music was good and there were lots of seats! Had multiple serves help our table throughout the night.

OMG! What started out as a promising quick lunch turned out to be a drawn out almost torturous affair in the hot sun! In a nutshell, the food at Jack Astor's near Yonge-Bloor was good but the service was slooow and not so great. Stopping in for what was supposed to be a quick lunch on my way back to the office from the bank, I discovered some good food but surprisingly slow service. Let's start with the food. I had a burger with fries and it was really good! It came with bacon and cheese and lots of thin cut crispy fries. The burger patty was juicy and tender and the whole burger was put together quite well. This was a good meal! What kinda spoiled it for me though, was the speed of service. Ughhh! I was there for over an hour! And it really wasn't that busy! Only three tables were occupied on the patio when I arrived and a gentleman took the table in front of me shortly after. That left about eight tables empty. The entire patio was shaded and cool and it was a lovely day. Was! After around forty five minutes of waiting in the shade, the sun came around the building across the street and it was HOT! The food finally arrived and I just wanted to eat quickly and get out of there. It was getting HOTTER and I was now sweating buckets! So now I was finished and waiting for my bill. Where were all the staff? The fellow at the table in front of me must have been feeling the same way because he got up to go and look for our server. He finally showed up (it must have been too hot for him out there), we paid and left. How long did it take to have lunch? Long enough for the customer that arrived after me to have almost three whole beers. Lunch took over an hour. Please don't tell my boss... PS - The patio was really noisy, from a nearby overhead vent. read more

We came here after movie night, on a sports night also, at around 830-900pm. We were got a seat quickly and was introduced to our server right away. We have placed our orders and got our food a little faster than expected on such a busy night. My steak was cooked accordingly so I have no complain on that. However, here's my complain... We asked for the bill at 10pm, but we did not get to leave until 1045pm. Why? Because our waitress did not print the bill until 1025pm! Now, I understand it was a busy night but still, we did not expect the bill to be printed at 1025pm, 25 mins after we have asked for the bill. We have seen others asked for the bill and got theirs quickly. So I didn't understand. Basically, come to this location if you have much time to spare on a dinner read more

Jack Astor’s - Bourbon Street steak - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Didn't actually get to eat here. Sat at a table, ignored for 20 minutes and then a server said "I didn't notice you here" after having made eye contact with her a number of times. Used to be okay here, but the service is so awful. read more

after a long shift this was a great spot to stop in for some drinks and tasty food. our server, Maj, was especially attentive to us and his positive attitude made our Friday night outing well worth it! the entire staff is always friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is perfect for unwinding after a long day. will come again for sure! read more

Let's talk about the service. My friend and I came here for lunch on Tuesday. There were a lot of empty tables when we dined in. We thought we were going to have a good experience dining in since the waitress was constantly checking up on us to see if we were ready to order. We ordered the classic sirloin, Asiago chicken bow tie, and grilled chicken quesadilla. The waitress informed us that we were going to get the quesadilla first (since it was our starter). The server came and brought us our mains. We questioned where our starter was. Not sure if they forgot about it, but the server brought our grilled chicken quesadilla a few minutes later. Half way through our entree, the waitress gives us our bill and the dessert menu. One of the reasons why I come to Jack Astors is to have their delicious sundae. Since our bill was already totalled, my friend and I decided not to get any dessert since it was too much of a hassle. We felt rushed devouring our food and did not enjoy it as much as we wanted. We didn't understand why we were given our bill while we were still eating. We assumed that the waitress was leaving and wanted to check out. However, that was not the case. After we finished our entree, the waitress was still serving other customers. They need to work on their customer service. Will I come back? Maybe, maybe not. But will definitely not come back to this location. read more

The food is consistently excellent regardless of what you order. Service was slow while the restaurant was not busy. Water refills took excessively long to bring to the table. There was a lack of napkins and no wet wipes at the table even after ordering the sauced up chicken fingers which can get messy! The rewards app mentions there is a birthday surprise for members and yet the server didn't do anything or even mention anything about it even after knowing we were there celebrating a Birthday. FOOD 5 Stars because it ever disappoints. SERVICE 2 Stars because they were polite and friendly but lacked any quick efficiency. read more

FOOD - 3/5 The food here is just typical menu items you would find in any other bar. They have tons of dishes you can share with friends as well as a wide selection of mains. I think food here is overpriced for a lot of their mains. We got nachos and calamari to share which were decently priced. The nachos were okay, while the calamari wasn't my favourite. SERVICE - 4/5 The staff here were really friendly and accommodating. It was, however, hard at times to flag our server down. They should really improve on that aspect. OVERALL - 4/5 It's a really great place to meet up with friends however the food is just regular bar food. read more

I went to Jack Astor's today. I got there about 12:30pm and it was busy. There were no tables available so I sat at the bar. I ordered what I always order at Jack Astor's ... Chicken Parmigiana. I really like it. When it arrived, the cheese wasn't melted (it was really obvious) and when I stuck my finger in it, the chicken was stone cold. Needless to say, I sent it back. The chicken came back piping hot but the pasta was just warm. It was tasty, though. Even though there were a bunch of servers buzzing around, I found the service lacking. After my meal was delivered, no one checked to see if I wanted a refill on my pop when my glass was empty or if I wanted dessert. After waiting for a while, I had to ask for my bill. I've been to some great Jack Astor's ... this one is definitely not one of them. I won't be back. read more

I love jack astors normally and this one is down the street so it's uber convenient. Unfortunately the quality just isn't there anymore. Seems like they've been cutting corners and it's declining for awhile now. Not sure if it's across the board or just this location. I ordered the garlic cheese pan bread, a favourite dish that I have been devoted to for 10+ years and it came out burnt and over cooked. I asked them to take it back. It legit just came out the exact same way lol. So sad! I loved this place but you need to step up and bring back the half decent kitchen you once had. #IMissTheOldJacks read more

Sometimes you get to be on the receiving end of a good surprise. Our order was running a tad late (the manager said it took 21 minutes) but nothing crazy. I've experienced much worse at many other places. But the manager came up to us and apologized and comp'd our meal. We even said the apology was enough, but he insisted, and even said he'd comp the desert (which we were too full to order). I wish all places would go this above and beyond. But it was much appreciated, and has kept us being regulars. read more

2.5 Order: SEÑOR JACK'S JALAPEÑO BURGER It was not as spicy but more of a sweet tangy flavour due to the jalapeno zucchini relish (yum!). I do wish they had more chili hot sauce though. I love sweet/spicy stuff. However, the burger itself was quite dry as you kept digging it. And there was a handful of shredded lettuce (way too much). I ordered a house salad w/greek dressing for the side which usually comes with mixed greens, but this had mostly romaine lettuce. (Eh..) The portion was big though! BUT, I only came here because I had a coupon ($4.97 for ANY burger) or else it'd be $13.71. (Yikes!) ALSO, this place would be ideal for kids and groups of teens 'cause the tables are like Montana's where you can draw with crayons. Overall: This burger is worth the coupon price. Okay, maybe like $8.50 with the big salad, but definately NOT the almost 14 dollars. read more

I think this location is one of the better Jack. I always get good service here and there hasn't been anything wrong with the food. I come here often just for a snack or dessert (especially in the summer time) after a day of shopping. The must get is the garlic bread with cheese (I've been loving it since high school). I find the Cesar salad very salty because it was heavily drenched in salad dressing. I believe I got some sort of Tex-Mex burger which was delicious for the most part. I don't think the burger is part of the permanent menu but I may be wrong. read more

Reached Jack Astor's in search of dessert while exploring the area. Most restaurants and ice cream parlours were shut, but we desperately needed some ice cream in warm -10 evening. Astor's came to the rescue. Surprised at the average reviews for the place. But we had a great night. Can't be sure about the food...we just had a draught beer - can't complain, a mock tail - pretty decent, regular fries - frozen not house cut :( with chipotle mayo , s'mores Sunday - fantabulous. The atmosphere was super casual, the brown paper and crayons on each table is a genius idea for the establishment. Service was a bit on the slower side, but not too bad. Lots of screens with sports on to keep you busy, in case you get bored of drawing your life. I also love the fact the subway entrance is right below the restaurant. read more

Met up with a pal here for drinks and some food. The food is your run of the mill pub food; the menu is extensive so there's something for everyone should you dine here as a group. I like the location as well. Conveniently located at the corner of Yonge and Bloor, you're only a few steps away from the subway. The reason why I'm giving this place a four star is the service - it was excellent. The staff here are attentive and super efficient; our plates were cleared as soon as we were done and drinks were brought to us even before asking. Good for: drinks, groups, dinner read more

After an extensive walk through Yorkville taking some pictures of the lovely holiday decorations, we ended up walking around this area and decided to get dinner here. We figured there would be something to please everyone at a decent price. The closer to the holidays, the cheaper I get. We got lucky and were seated in the bar area so no wait! Until the table they gave us was pushed up against the wall (right where the fire hose thing-y was). Certainly hope no fires break out because no way can you access that thing (which I think may be illegal, but who am I to say..lol). After we squeezed in (I am a petite person and I had trouble getting into the area/seat. I almost was going to go under the table, but with a lot of stomach sucking in I managed to just barely fit in). My order of butter chicken (why do I get Indian food from non Indian restaurants??) came with some pieces of chicken with half decent sauce and some little burnt up bits on the rice that was not fresh. I later realized those burnt bits were cauliflower. I also got about 2 pieces of small naan with it...but hard. It actually cracked when I tried to break off a piece to sop up the sauce. Not the fresh, pillowy naan breads that I am familiar with. The only redeeming part was that the drinks were decent (don't bother super sizing it because it is an extra $3 for that privilege and that my friend got the steak with the lobster/mash potato mash up. I tried a piece of the steak and it was pretty good! Damn, so ordered the wrong dish. The menu is pretty extensive so lots of choices, the service is ok..although since we were sitting in the front we could see about 4 servers just congregating at that front. If 2 of them were on the floor getting orders out or getting bills to the table service would have been faster. There is an outdoor area but since it was where are my gloves freaking ass cold, obviously it was not open. At least they don't give you crayons and that brown craft paper on the table anymore! read more

Had a late lunch, so it wasn't busy. The service was great. We were seated quickly, drink and food order taken, drinks arrived and food wasn't far behind. My dad and I both ordered burgers with fries and they were pretty good. Fresh toppings and the fries were fantastic. Our coffee mugs were kept full with Starbucks coffee. Mmm. Lots of TVs with various sporting events on. The bar was in the centre and the bartender was practicing tricks. Pretty cool! All in all, a good visit. The food isn't special, but it's consistent! read more

Most of the time we have really great service from our waiters. But last time we went there like a few weeks ago , theres this new hostess there, extremely rude. She was slender and darker complexion. Very very unnecessarily rude. It made me very mad the rest of the time there i couldnt enjoy my experience I was thinking about her the whole time. It was like she thought she was better than us. read more

I am totally in Love with this Jack's Location! What I particularly Love about this Jack's is that they have fun monthly events. Check out there facebook page or subscribe to there VVIP club for great deals and get the scoop on upcoming events and promos. The last 2 events I went to they were giving away free bottles of beer and glasses of wines. Every year they celebrate there Anniversary at this location which falls sometime in October. They had a live dj and lots of free apps and desserts as well giveaways and prizes. Service is always top notch here I never have any complaints! They have a cute patio that looks onto to yonge. Now jacks is serving up Starbucks Coffee (they were already serving Tazo teas). They have also introduced 2 new dessert items The Cracker Jack Sundae - Caramel popcorn and candied peanuts served over vanilla ice cream and drizzled with caramel sauce. I wasn't a fan of this because I hate carmel but i loved the candied peanut in it! The Smores Sundae - Marshmallows, graham cracker and brownie bits topped with whipped cream over vanilla ice cream and drenched in our signature Baileys chocolate sauce. I loved this Sundae! Soo many different textures, crunch from the graham, chewy from the marshmellow, silky hot fudge, and the cool ice cream. Perfect Combo! My all time favourite Sandwich here is the Le Montreal Special - Slices of Montréal smoked meat, piled high, topped with deli mustard. Served with a pickle spear. Its on toasted marble rye and they never skimp on the meat! What I also like about Jack's is that they have monthly feature menu that introduces new items and uses seasonal ingredients so there is always something new to try! read more

JACKS My review of jack astors is long overdue. One of my favorite meals to try out is the Bombay chicken with rice. For 20.00, you can't go wrong. This time however I received a head on challenge to finish off the drunken platter. The Beer braised Poutine was really good and I enjoyed the small chunks of beef in there. Fried Brussels...I'm not a fan of Brussels however I was still able to finish off the Brussels. The cheddar biscuits were a bit dry and slightly hard. I had to use the dip to eat them all. Chicken was good as well. The cheddar sausages were my favorite. Spiked ketchup and cheddar dip was awesome. This isn't my typical review as my experience was based on a food challenge. However I will say that the waitress was amazing and super friendly. Food Jack Astor's is really good, portion isn't the greatest but quality is great. And Yes, even though I won the challenge I was still a bit hungry. read more

We had our work Christmas lunch here yesterday and overall it was fine. The food was decent, I started with a salad (average) and then had a chicken bowl (picture sweet and sour chicken with veggies and rice). The desserts were nothing to write home about, although the portions were huge. The options were either donut holes with dipping sauces (I found them really dry) and little crepes with sauce inside. The last time I ate here I had a burger which I thought was excellent. Considering the size of our group and the fact people were moving around the service was good and the meals came out pretty fast. Overall a decent lunch and ok place for a large group. read more

Today I got takeout from this Yonge and Bloor location. And boy, was I disappointed when I got home. I ordered online as we were craving the bruschetta and vino. Food and drink in one quick takeout. Why not? Bruschetta was the most soggy over salted mess ever. The 3 pieces of hardly toasted baguette were something Pathetic. The bruschetta was clearly not fresh, swimming in a pool of over salted juices that seeped from the tomatoes. Inedible. As if it sat there for an entire day when it was half an hour in between placing my order and pick up. In the biodegradable bin it went. $10 down the drain. I ended up whipping up some bruschetta at home! The wine was good, but a bar cannot mess that up if it is bottled, so no credit to JA. It was 1/2 price for wine bottles with the purchase of food, but honestly the bruschetta almost cancelled out the wine discount. So $30 in all for a bottle that costs $14 at the LCBO and the soggy mess we threw out. read more

Great spot but The Drunken is an odd dish. Brussels sprouts, pickles and cheese sauce - Oh My! It's so sub-par at best. Almost didn't gorge myself into selfless regret. Keep the pints up and party on! Sorry, had to update this. Found out that meal is 30 bucks LOL. Shooters Shoot read more

I just went here for lunch with five other people and ten minutes after being seated the hostess came back to ask us who our server was - how would we know? Nobody had come by! So she took our drink and food orders - 20 minutes later food and drinks arrived together. Once we were eating the server came over to introduce himself - his name was Jonathan (not sure why he'd bother introducing himself at that point) and we asked for our bill. Jonathan came back with the bill, threw it down on the table and said he had real tables to go deal with. I guess we were fake? If you go to this location make sure you aren't seated in his section! read more

I called to make reservations from the Hazelton Lanes Hotel as everywhere else was fully booked, nobody picked up. I decided to walk to the location. It was open. The only other Jack Astor's in the city I'm aware of where the Maitre' D stood outside by the patio is the one on Front. But that one had a much better patio. I asked whether if the kitchen was still open at this late hour of 12:20, she said "yes", and then she said "grab a menu." I didn't understand what she meant, so I ignored her and sat myself. I was in my seat with my friend for a whole five minutes before I got up myself and asked the waitress for a food menu to be brought to our table. Why weren't there any menus at the table? I never had to get my own menu before. The waitress arrived at our table, but instead of taking our orders, she ask us for our credit cards, or some form of identification. What?! Apparently, they've been experiencing a very high level of 'dine & dash' lately, and this was their new policy to combat that issue. Really? Was this abroad? Do I have to cough up my personal information prior to every meal from now on at Jack Astor's? This is ridiculous! I gave her my health card. Thus the reason I'm reviewing this place, as I don't usually review chained restaurants. But what an unique experience, I felt compelled to share! I never ordered the lobster & crab dip before, couldn't hurt. It wasn't bad, but the way it was arranged reminded me of an African Safari watering hole during the dry season. The little pool of water being the dip, and a thousand different specifies of animals being the chips crowded around trying to get a piece of the action. Com'on, how much lobster & crab are actually in here? At least they could have been more generous with the mayonnaise. On the menu it said the fish n' chips came with two fillets, I only got one. It was a good size, but it was still false advertising. I don't remember what my friend ordered, I was busy looking at all the make-up on her face. You see, she's a beauty blogger and we've just came from a magazine launch. She had to glam up, and I was curious as to which part of her face she was actually born with. Everyone knows what Jack Astor's look like, so there's no point mentioning the décor. The staff here are just like any other Jack Astor's, forced to look like their life long dream of working here has been attained, and everything was wonderful. I wonder if that's another one of their policies. The bill came, but I had to remind our waitress about my health card. I asked the waitress what was the best escape route. Seriously, my friend was wearing seven inch heels, and my outfit was completely unarrow-dynamic...you're bound to catch one of us! read more

I work downtown and used to visit JA more often. I hurt my foot and have to walk with a cane. My family dropped by the office. My first thought was "Let's got to Jack Astor's" Even though it would be hard walking with my cane. Big mistake. They put 6 chairs on 2 tables for 2 people. 3 adults and 3 kids. I am disabled. I cannot sit in the crowded aisle. This seems too crowded. There would not be enough room for people to walk past. I am not planning to return. We should have the fire marshal look at their seating/table arrangement read more

This used to be my hood and sadly... and quite strangely, for the most important intersection in our fair city, this area is seriously lacking some good R&R locales. There are some alright restaurants but no great chillout locations like you would find on Queen or King Streets. Burgundy's and The Pilot are more like simple, old fashion bars, good places to go with your buddies but not a date or to just relax with someone. The Spotted Dick is a horrible dive that should be better specially due to its location and Peridot has great potential if it was not to the fact they are money hungry and will "stop" serving pints of beer after 10:00pm in order to get a few more bucks out of you. Jack Astor's has a more modern look to it, and tries but ultimately sort of fails...But why do you ask? It is kind of small, which is understandable due to the fact that it was carved out of a corner of a business building and space is limited. More importantly the food is alright but definitely nothing special. There are what I could call 'way too many TVs' for such a small place and it can get a bit loud regardless of where you sit. Again, beggars can't be choosers so a lot of people come here out of desperation so it can get crowded... Specially by office drones from sector 7G (let's see who gets that one) and from the Bell and CIBC buildings nearby. About the best thing this bar has is it's patio which of course has limited space and a limited season. However if you can a table during the Summer and a few cold ones then it is not too bad and a decent spot for people watching. Still though, the food? Meh. In the end, Jack Astor's is ultimately bland and inoffensive (read: mainstream accessible) hence there are so many in the suburbs and this hoods needs it. As I said, beggars can't be choosers. read more
