Had lunch today with 3 other friends after visiting the car show. Service was quick, our waiter was pleasant and friendly. Food portion was small and not very tasty at all. Would not recommend! read more

The food was great. It's jack Astor's you know, it's not gourmet but it's tasty and won't disappoint most of the time. Typical really low lighting at night, the restaurant is great overall the washrooms were good and they had some mobile charging stations which was extremely useful. Service was quick, servers mostly nice. I've gotten the occasional waiter who you could tell was ready to go home but it's uncommon. Overall, good place to go with friends read more

Amazing service; amazing place. At our table of 4, 2 meals were brought out 5 mins after the first-- we never complained, and the manager came over swiftly and offered to comp us a round of drinks and a dessert. 10/10 service, and great ambiance. Great food as well! read more

I came here late on a Saturday night with a group of 8. We decided to get a few drinks and dessert. The service here was a bit slow, which normally would be fine if it was busy, but I could see about half of the restaurant was empty. The brownie dessert was not great. I got the World's Most Ridiculously Small Brownie, and it was below average. I was hoping the brownie might be a little warm, but it was actually pretty cold and hard. It came with a caramel drizzle which didn't really enhance the dish at all. I also got the vanilla ice cream to add on, and it wasn't that great. Safe to say, I definitely regret getting that dessert. read more

What do you do when you feel tired? For me, I need a glass of beer! Actually, it can be anything as long as it is alcohol! It's count! After coming back from Whitby last night, I was hungry and tired. I wanted to eat but my brain wasn't working well at the time . So I couldn't make up my mind where I should go to have dinner with my husband. We debated between Loose Moose and Jack Astor's. Then, we ended up going to Jack Astor's. It was on Front St. which was only five mins walk from Union Station. My husband loves chicken wings and he said he didn't have chicken wings for a few weeks. So, we ordered two pounds of medium-hot chicken wings. They were good and my husband seemed to like them! However, I felt like to have poutine, which was quite unusual for me . I ordered the Chicken BLT Poutine. It was too dry for me. I prefer to have more gravy on my poutine. If you know any good place for poutine and not far from Downtown Toronto, give me a shout! ‼PROMO‼ Jack Astor's also has Daily Happy Hours! It's called "DAILY JACKPOT." 2pm-4pm, 9pm-close. $4.50 for Domestic Draught & Cider (14 oz). $4.50 for Strawberry Guava Margarita (1 oz). OVERALL (3.5/5) Chicken Wings (3.75/5). Chicken BLT Poutine (2.5/5) Service (4/5) Price (3/5) Atmosphere (4/5) read more

burger's are apparently to hard to do they gave us hockey pucks then took forever to bring back the wrong burger just to have to wait until the check to even revive it even then how do you mess it up 3 times obviously was on purpose server was good but that was the only thing good about it never coming back again save the time and money don't go genuinely better fries and burger at McDonalds read more

I popped into this place late one Tuesday evening unplanned, looking for a bite and a cold one... I was very pleasantly surprised with the Gluten free menu options and LOVED the Harvest Salad with chicken - big, fresh and very filling. Especially liked the seats situated perpendicularly at the bar, fast friendly service and tons of TVs for sports... As a tourist from California, I'll say that Toronto does Sports Bars way better than we do, and Jack Astor's was an excellent experience read more

Anish was a great server, very fast and kind service! Would definitely recommend coming here to eat ir have a few drinks!

It is not hyperbole to say that the single worst restaurant experience I've ever had was at this place. The waitress was so rude it bordered on hostile. After the first round she asked if we wanted anything else. One person from our group of 8 said no so she walked away before the rest of us could order more. We had been prepared to settle in for a long stay of food and drink but she made it very clear we were not welcome. When the bill arrived she threw it in the table and walked away without a word. This experience was so miserable that 've never set foot in *any* Jack Astors since that day, I never intend to ever again, and I actively warn people away if they ever suggest it. If I could give negative stars I would. read more

Garlic bread was served cold and their TRUFFLE CHICKEN LINGUINI looked nothing like on the picture on the menu - no mushrooms, no green onions, no pieces of parmesan. Chicken was dry. It had no taste whatsoever. It was like eating noodles with creamy oil and onions. My husband had one of the pastas and spend the entire night in the washroom with upset stomach read more

Spent the day in the city and we were starving. We stopped in for a quick dinner before heading back home. I tried the quesadilla stack chicken sandwich. It was really good. We also got a fishbowl to share. The server was really friendly and had no problems splitting our bills. I also am not from Canada but it was cool to see they give you vinegar for your fries! Coleslaw was good too read more

This review is just based on one drink. We did not have food here. Thursday night, my friends and I were looking for a bar to grab a quick drink as our last stop for the day. We came across Jack Astor while strolling in downtown Toronto and trying to chase the CN Tower, which turned out to be a bit farther than we expected. There was a gentleman at the entrance, we asked if we can see the menu and he said go right ahead. The menu on display did not have the drinks, but we ended up just sitting at a table by the bar. Chris was our server. He was very kind and attentive. We ended up ordering a Beach bowl drink to share. When it was delivered, the drink reminded me of the Punch bowl from Benihana and RA Sushi. The drink tasted like 100% soda and I think there was more ice than liquid. I've worked in restaurants before and the drink we got was alright. Overall, Chris' service was good but the drink was ok. I also went inside to find the restroom. I asked the hostess ladies inside and one of the girls didn't seem like she wanted to help. read more

So just wrapped a weekend in Toronto. Was looking for a place to watch the Buffalo Bills game and this was suggested to me by a couple of friends as they have "lots of TVs, will play the Bills game with sound, and the food is decent". I am leaving from Union Station after the game so location is good and while I'm not a chain restaurant fan, this will work. Get there 45 minutes before kickoff and see the hostess girl at the front of the outdoor patio. Here's where the shot show starts. Tell her I'm there to watch the Bills game with three friends, and want a table by a YV with the game sound on. She tells me no problem. Next I go inside. Lady at the inside hostess desk asks if I'm looking for the table for four and I confirm. Again I state I want a table in front of a TV showing the Bills game with sound on. She says no problem and seats me. This is where it gets dumb. The place is very quiet when I arrive. My friends show and it's minutes before kickoff when I realize the TV in front of us is showing a different game. I talk to our server and she has ZERO idea we want the Bills game with sound she goes to talk to a manager to "see what he can do" and comes back saying she can put the game on but no sound. It's kickoff and we have drinks so now we're stuck. Our server was great. I don't want her thrown under the bus in this as she was an unwilling participant in all this. Good was chain restaurant standard fair and the service was good and friendly. The beer menu was decent. Where it really went downhill was with under 3 minutes left in our game, after eating and drinking there for three hours, an employee asks if they can change another TV in our vicinity to the Toronto Raptors game. Now, at this point there's more TVs than customers and EVERY OTHER TV in the place has the Raptors game on. We say we're following the game on that TV but if they need to change it go ahead. He changes it AND our TV with the Bills game. With two minutes and change left in a three point game. We ask them to turn it back, an assistant manager of some sort comes and says they will put our game back on AFTER the Raptors game. I tell him there's two minutes left and we've been watching all game. He shrugs his shoulders I tell him this is bullshit and he walks away. Fuck this place. There's your true arrogant, Toronto experience if you are interested. Of the thousand places i could have gone I wasted my money in this chain restaurant hell. Never again. read more

My co-workers and I were walking around Front Street on a Thursday evening looking for a spot for dinner. Unfortunately due to a Maple Leafs game, every place had a long wait. This Jack Astor's location was also full, but we were able to get a spot on the patio with heat lamps in 2-degree weather. Perusing through the drink menu, I spied with my eye a sangria. If you know me, you know that I love sangria. The citrus sangria came in mix-your-own glasses. A small comes with enough liquid for 2 drinks. As expected, I loved it. The alcohol wasn't strong and the drink was sweet and fruity. I ordered the smokin' salmon cooked medium. It was cooked perfectly. I enjoyed the tender salmon, the al dente rice, and soft citrusy cherry tomatoes. The avocado on the side was a nice touch. Our group also ordered the nachos to share. The nachos were warm and delicious. I enjoyed it with the sour cream dip. "Sangria" K. out read more

If I had to sum up my experience with two words, it would be 'Zero Flavor'. Great location, friendly staff but all the food tasted bland. Each meal with the exception of the kids meals is a minimum $17 and the taste, well....there is no taste. I ordered the 'Chicken Clubhouse's and it had absolutely zero seasoning. My friend ordered the 'Classic Ceasar' and at first glance you couldn't even see the salad dressing. It was completely watered down. For the kids meal we ordered the chicken bites and a cookie for dessert. Both items had no seasoning and no flavor. How do you ruin a chocolate chip cookie? It was hard and flavourless. Almost as if it had been sitting around for a couple of days. I don't know if I will go back to Jack Astor's but I definitely won't go back to this location. Sorry JACK! read more

I was there with a friend, drank 2 beers and ate nachos. Anyway my friend had to leave early and very kindly paid before I got a chance to. I witnessed him scan his credit card, enter his code. The waitress left, apparently satisfied. I stayed a little longer. When I got up to leave, the waitress reintroduced the bill and insisted I pay. I said I had clearly seen that my friend had already paid and said I wasn't going to pay twice. She called over this galoot that she called the "manager" who also insisted I pay and wouldn't let me leave. The waitress said the original payment didn't go through. If that were the case, why didn't she tell him? She could offer no proof of any cancelled or invalid transaction. They succeeded in changing a pleasant drink with a friend into a very unpleasant situation. BTW the nachos were made with cheap and terrible cheese BTW with very little and untasty dips). read more

So I went to this restaurant with my friend today and had the unpleasant experience of being scammed by one of the servers. Unfortunately I dont know his name, but was a white male, blue eyes, average built. We had lunch at the patio. So when he handed me the machine to pay it showed total $32, I made a mistake so I handed the machine back to him. Then I chose the 15% tip , which was $6.60 and total showed $42. At the time it registered that something was weird but I didn't think properly and paid. But obviously $32 + $6.60 does not ad to $42 so he for sure changed something when I gave him back the machine. I visited before the restaurant in different locations and never had something like this happen to me. Nor in any other restaurant. I'm disgusted with that server for this behaviour. read more

My husband and I went to Jack Astors last night for a dinner out. It has been a long time since we were able to go out anywhere due to work. We used to go to Jacks before covid twice a month. Last nights dinner was horrible. We were there hoping to have fajitas which appartently Jacks stopped serving a long time ago. We chose instead to order the Truffle Chicken Linguini and a bacon cheeseburger. The Linguini meal was over salty and the burger was terrible. The burger patties were thin and burned and as hard as hockey pucks. The food was not cheap and was no good. The drinks were seriously over priced. We will not be returning to Jacks. read more

I was on my own in Toronto as my wife left to Europe and there was a Jack Astor's right across the street from my hotel by the CN Tower. I walked in and sat at the bar, tons of TVs lined the walls and I ordered an IPA. Yummy. I ordered the veggie pizza with no cheese and watched life go on. The pizza was perfect, LOVED it. Tons of toppings and I asked for some parm and red pepper flakes. The servers shake your hand and ask your name. They were so cool, I wish every restaurant did this. For a chain restaurant, the service was amazing and the food was great! read more

This Jack Astor's Bar & Grill location is close to Union Station and definitely not a bad place to catch some World Cup Action. The bar area has enough TVs that made me happy as I can watch 2 on going games at the same time. Sitting at the bar is nice because it is easier to get one of the 4 bartenders attention faster when the place was packed with customers. We ordered Poutine and Guacamole to share, nothing too amazing but good to snack on while drinking our beers. Come early to beat the crowd for game day if you want the best seat in the house like me! read more

Meh. Typical trendy grill in the downtown Toronto area. There was nothing special about the food or drinks in anyway, except that they let you up the amount of alcohol for a little upcharge. Our server was a flighty 20-something that started telling us about how she was in the bathroom crying because a table walked out on her before even taking our drink orders. (TBH, I can see why they might have walked out on her, as she was a rare sight during OUR meal, and we waited abnormally long for OUR check.) She was very nice though and chatted us up. The only standouts about Jack Astors is that they cover the tables with paper and give you crayons so you can draw all over them, (the waiters and waitresses come up and write their names upside down on the table) and they have shirts with funny little sayings on them. Other than that, it's a pretty forgettable experience. I will say though, if you're a young, single guy in Toronto, go into Jack Astor's and ask to sit in Tara's section. You're welcome. read more

Came here with my friends after pan am closing ceremony. We were all hungry and they wanted to play it safe and go somewhere familiar rather than try something new. We shared nachos, calamari, and a chicken BBQ pizza. Pizza felt like food leftovers thrown on top of a pizza dough that was not well cooked. Calamari was dry and not fresh. Nachos plate was HUGE but needs more cheese and better dips. Not worth it. Nice patio. They kept spraying us with mist. Some of us liked it while others didn't. Come here for the drinks and the company of friends. Enjoy a pint of beer and steer away from the food. read more

Went here for a work event. Service was not great but given that there were 20 of us it was understandable- it took 50 minutes for me to be served. I'm actually much more concerned with the chicken club that came on a ciabatta bun. The ingredients were poor but the bread was downright awful and inedible, not worth the $22 I had to pay for it. read more

Post covid review. We were taking a walk downtown trying to find a heated patio and Jack Astor's had one! The warmest patio I've been to so far! I was happy to see they take all the covid regulations seriously and you can opt in to only have your server come to the table but not other staff. Menus are available with QR code or online. I had the Memphis steak and my friend had the holly smoke burger. Both were great! Steak was the perfect medium rare. I highly recommend baked potatoes as a side it was surprisingly delicious! Special thanks to our server he was super nice and friendly and brought the food and drinks out very quickly. Excellent service! read more

Came here again exactly a month later on a cold winter Saturday! A group of 5 of us came in at 9pm and were immediately seated not at the bar section. This section was particularly empty, and I am blaming it on the weather! We were served by Roger and he was INCREDIBLE!!! Each person originally had something they wanted to order but when the last person ordered and asked for the the soup of the day and he said it was "Crab Chowder", 4 out of 5 people in the party decided to change their order to try this crab chowder! Roger was SUPER COOL about the change and was not a single bit annoyed too. Awesome server!!! The crab chowder was underwhelming. It was spicy! not really what I was hoping for. I also tried their loaf of garlic bread and it was good. The traditional poutine was delicious and it came out like a brick! How interesting! This location is definitely my go-to as it is just across from Union Station! read more

Ugh, don't even know where to start. Actually, I guess I could start on a positive note that our waiter and trainee were very friendly and attentive. My friend and I were in Toronto for the weekend and just wanted decent bar food before heading to a concert so we decided to try here based on word of mouth from the locals and fairly decent reviews. The place wasn't too empty, which we took as a good sign. We were then seated completely secluded from everyone else (did they know we were New Yorkers? Lol) in the back portion of the outside, literally by the back door. We placed drink orders and were advised that the poutine was good, but that Montreal def had better. We gave it a shot, and Montreal DEF has better poutine. The poutine here 100% is made with canned, or even powdered gravy. The fries themselves were good, but the gravy killed it all. I decided to order chicken fingers, which the waiter said were one of his faves, and my friend went with the cheeseburger and Caesar salad side. My chicken fingers were nearly inedible and tasted like fish. I even gave my friend a piece and she agreed that they had a weird fishy aftertaste. My friend stated that her burger wasn't terrible, but not enjoyable. If I'm ever back in Toronto, I definitely would NOT come back here! Gimme my NY food! read more

I still come here to meet up with friends as it can provide a friendly and warm sports atmosphere to catch up over a few drinks and food. Though I do feel that the price of food on the menu at Jack Astor's has not kept pace with the actual value you get for the monies in my opinion. I ordered the burger and fries and it just really looked really boring and lacklustre. The beer menu and prices are still pretty decent with the option to up-size it to a Jack Astor's size for another buck or two. It's an a-ok place to go when you're trying to meet the needs of a large group, accessible location, or to catch a sports game or two. read more

Jack Astor's as a whole is pretty good, and this location being right downtown I thought would've been really good. However, it was not. Service was good and the outdoor patio was a great atmosphere. When my good came out, unfortunately it was cold..lukewarm at best. Now when you've ordered mac and cheese, there's nothing worse than cold cheese. Would I come back here ? I mean, it's across the street from Union so maybe for drinks before the train. Food wise, I'd suggest going elsewhere. read more
