Came here today for a Friday lunch-out, and boy was it so hard to find a spot in such a busy plaza! Anyways, food here is priced higher than average but I find there is nothing too special about the quality of food they serve. Wait time is brutal during busy lunch hours. Their drinks are somewhat good. I find their servers are very friendly though. I see how people choose this restaurant due to its location and the ambiance. Over-all just okay.

We, party of 4, came here for dinner and we all wanted to site in the patio. Great place to catch things up with friends and family. Our server Martin was very attentive and asked if we needed drinks when it was emptied on the table. Didn't take too long for him to get us drinks. We ordered 2x Non-alcohol and Cheese Soup, 2x Caesar Salad with Bacon, Smoked Salmon, Veg Out Pizza, Curry Bowl, and the Classic 10oz Medium Rare Steak. My guests can't get enough of the soup, delicious, creamy and not too spicy. A fantastic dish to start. Salmon was a little dry but it was pretty good, says one of my guest. My other guests really enjoyed her Pizza, vegetables and the olives were all fresh. My wife loved the Curry Bowl, a great touch to add a few Naan in the bowl. The cherry tomatoes goes very nicely with the curry. My steak was cooked perfectly. I asked for medium rare and that is what I got, it was spot on. Mash Potatoes was alright, nothing to brag about but would been nice if there was gravy. I really enjoy my steak though. We really had a great time at this restaurant. The patio we got was a great spot. Great dinner!!! Food: 4/5 Ambience: 4/5 Quality: 4/5 Service: 4/5 read more

One of my favourite locations. I came here on a weekend to watch the Raptor's game so as expected the bar area was packed. We were seated at the edge of the bar, but I didn't mind as long as I could see the screen. The crowd that gathers there for games is awesome. Jack Astor's food is as expected. we ordered the beef chili nachos and a few pints of Guiness. It was really delicious and even though they were really busy at the bar they brought extra napkins and brought extra hot sauce quick time when I asked for it. There was a bit of a commotion because someone at the bar wanted to watch a hockey game and was drunk already making a kerfuffle. The Bartender was really great and dealt with it very professionally. The manager eventually had to ask the person to go. (I cheered inside when this happened). Good food, good beer and a good show! read more

I ordered the spiked blue raspberry lemonade with a FROZEN twist... TWICE. & both times, it was awful! The first time, it was all foam?!?! The next time it was honestly just ice lol. I don't know what's going on with their bar recipes... but that's a disaster. I'm a regular at the Oakville location, and they can make it properly. Properly meaning it is a slushy! A normal slushy! Not foam, not ice. This review is solely on the bar. Food & service is great :) read more

We were on our way down town and decided to stop by to get some good quality food without the down town price. Never been at this location before but I've been to the franchise many a time. I have to say, they did a great job making us happy. The staff was friendly, the food was great and in abundance. We ordered too much and had to take it home as leftovers because we were expecting less. If you are in the area and are looking for a slightly up scale place to eat. This is a great place. read more

As expected and good as always at Jack Astor. Although the double fajitas serving could be a bit generous. read more

Jack Astor's - Well taken care of by Sarah! - Sports Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Had lunch today with 2 coworkers . Might have been one of the most disappointing lunches we've had as a group in years . The service we received was OK . The food on the other hand was simply terrible . Started with some Asian wonton " nachos" which ended up being the best item we had . Pricey ($11.95 ) for six flat crackers with hoisin and Sriracha mayo slathered upon them . Oh and they sprinkled some sesame seeds to achieve Asian status. Asian miso bowl with added salmon piece was very ordinary, under seasoned and cost $29.00 . Not worth the money . Another glass noodle bowl with salmon was underwhelming , under seasoned , and had a funny metallic taste . Another waste of $30.00 . The last dish ordered was the chicken parmigiana. OMG this the worst Chicken/parm I've ever been served . A small chicken breast was breaded , deep fried and had some tomato sauce placed on top and sat on spaghetti which sat in a pool of a cheese/white sauce which had the same tomatoe sauce placed on the white sauce? Very Weird . The dish was lukewarm and the sauce combo was horrible . A complete waste of $ 27.00 . Probably one of the worst food items I've been served in my adult life . I'll never go back to this restaurant again. It was too traumatic. I feel violated they charge top dollar for such dogshit food . read more

Remember back in the day when Jack's was a place of pure funny? Funny staff singing and dancing on chairs when it was your birthday? Loud and obnoxious? Well Jack's is still loud and obnoxious but now it's because of the customers! Over the past few years Jack's has slightly upped it's game. The food is definitely better than what it used to be - there's a more international flair to the dishes. I had the Bombay Chicken Curry. Honestly for a chain restaurant it wasn't too bad. Flavours were there, the rice was nice and fluffly and it even came with naan bread. Even their drinks have stepped up - you can get an assortment of water - Perrier, Evian or Badoit. C'est tres chic I can only imagine how busy and loud it gets on a weekend or Friday night. As it is, being in the Shops of Don Mills complex it usually is pretty full. Probably all the people who had to wait too long to get into Joey's. Before if you told me that dinner was a Jack's I would groan, now I don't mind as much. Service was good and plenty of parking in the front as well as the 4 tier parking garage at the back of the complex. read more

I only have one statement to add for this restaurant. The tomato in my salad was half black & mouldy. What else can you say about this place. If you serve a mouldy tomato you get one star. End of story! read more

I remember the old Jack Astors in Toronto. The Scarborough town center one in particular. I remember the food being horrible and trying everything on the menu and being disappointed. Well it seems like all that is in the past now and theu revamped their restaurants and menu. To be honest I've been here quite a bit in the last year. The new menu and hockey season had me coming back. Watching a leafs game here is not the greatest. The TV's are small and the game is not usually aired with sound unless you sit closer to the bar. The restaurant is also usually rammed with parties, families, you name it, going on. It's better to watch the game as a side thing rather than come out of your way just for hockey. The new food menu is good and they change it up every few months. I still enjoy the fish and chips along with their burgers. I feel the quality of the food is much improved from the old days. I've tried the monthly specials including their poutine and pulled pork sandwiches. They are decent, but nothing I haven't had a better version of somewhere else in the GTA. Overall a good restaurant to eat at while the Leafs play. read more

Chips and guacamole were excellent. The Buffalo chicken sandwich was good as well. Solid food!

I want to commend our server her number for our table 8565. I believe her name was Saidi. We took a friend, who has some dementia, for her birthday last night and Saidi was very patient and kind when dealing with her. She was very professional and mature when serving all of us. I worked in customer service for over 36 years and I feel I'm a fairly good judge when it comes to wait staff. We all enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere and highly recommend your restaurant..

We walked into this restaurant with just over an hour to spare, as we were going to the cinema afterwards and hadn't eaten any dinner yet.. The service was great and food was served in record time! The only reason I gave a 4/5 stars was because my sauce in my dish was spicy and it probably wouldn't be noticed by some, but I hate spicy food so I didn't enjoy the dish as much as I'd have liked, and plus there was no spice in the description on the menu so.. Otherwise no complaints, staff were lovely, food was great and we got dinner and our movie without throwing the food down our necks! Great atmosphere Tv screens everywhere so great if you want to watch a game? Quirky touches like bottles fitted to light fixtures Free wifi Free drink top up read more

Firstly , I'm not sure which waiter was ours considering we had a new one every other minute , Secondly , if you serve a poutine it would be hot , not COLD like if I wanted it cold I would have asked for ice cubes on top.... French fry was uncooked and when you ask the waiter to eat it up she said the taste will turn bad and added more COLD GRAVY ON TOP , thanks Serena... good thinking . Also..... my ceaser salad had bare fat , and wasn't even that good . Oh and don't lemme forget how long we waiting for a glass of water for them to take the straw , NEVER WILL YOU SEE ME AGAIN JACKASSES read more

One of the good Jackastors, lately I've been finding a hit and miss with this nice franchise. This specific location still have the Buffalo chicken Cobb salad where most of the other locations stopped serving it, which is a big disappointment. Watched the premier league game today, with the above, calamari and their famous bruschetta and their current holiday spec. Friendly staff, this is a favourite spot at this plaza. read more

I am not a fan of this Jack Astor because I find the service to be lacking here. It took forever for food to come and the place wasn't even busy! I ordered a pizza here and the only flavour it had was salt. Thank goodness for the salad on top of the pizza to balance out the flavour a bit. It was quite an odd pizza to eat so I wouldn't order it again. I would come back to Jack, not for a full meal but perhaps just appetizers or desserts because I think they do those the best. For a meal, I would choose one of the other restaurants close by before coming here! read more

The fries from the poutine was kind of cold and the gravy wasn't hot enough. The waiter said he will cook us a fresh one himself next time. And it barely had any chicken in the chicken salad. read more

no matter in what part of the city you're in, if all else fails, Jack AStorS is your last resort. Situated along other restaurants at Shops on Don Mills, this place is definitely HAPPENING! especially on a Friday night. Both my friend and I originally tried getting a seat at the bar, but failed, so the next best thing was a small booth which worked out to be perfect! After she ordered the....cocktail (forgot which one) I opted for their Argentine Malbe (Yes i love red) and we placed our order for their shareable nachos. Our server T*** (due to identity) was awesome! he provided us some recommendation when it came to either adding beef or chicken, thankfully we chose chicken. Portions were huge, so huge we both couldn't finish it, as we both had dinner earlier. Prices are decent, vibe is kickin and service was kick assssss. read more

Jack Astor's - Chicken nachos - Sports Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Nachos are a must here with added beef and guacamole. Alex was a great server who recommended Somersby Cider with a shot of butter ripple. O.M G! Caramel apple bliss right here. Got the chicken tenders in medium, yummm. I always ask for honey garlic on the side so u get spicy and sweet in one bite. The chicken is always so tender and juicy. My go to food always. Everything else at jack Astor sucks arse haha Conclusion: drinks are great, only get nachos, fajitas, or chicken tenders. DO NOT GO ASIAN (i.e pad thai). read more

I want to thank Pepper the Bartender & Lindy the Manager for making this the most memorable Birthday. You both went far beyond expectations. It will be one of the many reasons I will return. The Grilled Salmon was exquisite. I'm usually very picky about my fish but this as well exceeded my expectations & the flavors danced on my tung. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. How ya'll ended up getting the whole bar to sing happy birthday to me is still mind boggling. Thank you once again. It's something I won't forget. read more

Terrible service at Jack Astors Shops at Don Mills food was supposed to be ready at 9:15, it's 9:29pm and I'm still waiting for my food. Gage (manager) came out to say it took a while for the kitchen to get the order from the app!? I asked why was I told that it will be 10 mins when I came in at 9:15 he said the kitchen quoted the wrong time. He offered a free app coupon for the next time I come in, said he cannot offer anything else because it's an order through the app!? Then said he will get the food, it's now 9:37 and still no food. read more

My Wife and I love it here. We were greeted right away from the lovely staff at the door. Seated right away and was served by an awesome waiter named Gelly. We ordered apps, the usual awesomeness called the bruschetta, to die for. As well as the veggie Mucho Nachos with guacamole yummerific. The Mains were Chicken Parm and I got the Smiling Buddha salad....I would definitely get this salad again. Chicken breast with strawberries,pecans,apples....incredible.. read more

I have been going to Jack Astors for years.. I like to go for lunch on Sundays... the serving staff is great alway there to help in anyway, very warm and caring... I feel for them because the head chef Umar is not caring he allows food to go out that shouldn't... very sad he is rude when you try to explain what was wrong with your meal I will not be gong back there as long as Umar is working there...... read more

The chicken and mushrooms dish was tasteless .. fries were microwaved.. and no full size napkins.. just little cocktail napkins .. and delivered the food but no utensils .. when we request crispy fries they brought them and charged for them ( as a replacement for the fries on the dish) And 18% tip add to the bill based on the number of guests. read more

My family and I came here for a late lunch. My wife and I split some nachos and wings and our daughter had the kids pasta with tomato sauce. The nachos were good and cheesy - they used queso and shredded cheese to make sure they were ooey gooey. The one thing I would have liked is jalapenos on the nachos, but that's just a personal preference. The wings were also very good - good size and the sauce had a nice flavor and kick. They did this flaire thing where they tossed the wings in the sauce at the table. This was a little unnecessary and just seemed downright awkward. I'd rather have my wings sauced in the kitchen. My daughter didn't really like her kids pasta - the tomato sauce was too spicy for her. We decided to send it back; that's right my 2 year sent her first meal back (she's gonna be yelp elite in no time). Our server, Chris was very understanding and happy to switch the tomato sauce pasta for a butter sauce pasta which my daughter very much enjoyed. Overall the food is good and the staff are very friendly. I would recommend coming and would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again. read more

This was our first dinner in Canada. Great service, fun atmosphere and yummy food. We had a classic poutine and a lobster dip to start, both delicious. The table had fajitas, fish and chips, 5 cheese Mac and cheese an my favorite the Hold the Beef (a great black bean burger with goat cheese). A nice place for a family since you can color on the table. read more

I ordered the mushroom truffle burger and it was so cold and so were the sweet potato fries. It was soooo salty, I could only eat 2 bites and threw it out along with the fries. It was delivered quickly so it wasn't the driver, so the order must have been siting there for some time. It was the worst meal I've ever had. I had to go and make something as I was still hungry. I won't ever order from Jack Astors ever again. This isn't the first time this has happened but gave it a 2nd chance but never again. I don't know how you can get away with giving people this horrible food. You must go through a ton of salt. Oh, yea, the bun just fell apart. If I were to try and eat it, I would need a knife and fork. The sweet potato fries were so wet and cold. Good bye Jack Astors. Never again!!! read more

This place needs to be closed down. They use mr bens rice, their Long Island ice tea had no alcohol, and their Mexican bowl wow.. I would rather order burrito boyz. The staff looks miserable and their chicken wings were hard as rock; they def made a batch in the morning and just reheated them. Disgusting. Can't imagine anyone ever ordering a steak here, their teeth would probably fall out. read more

Came here for a late lunch before Winefest, which was being held in the area. My girlfriend and I ordered some chicken quesadillas and calamari to share. I was impressed by how quickly the food came because I was getting pretty hungry! The calamari was cooked well and I loved the dipping them in the sauces they brought out. I also really liked the chicken quesadillas and ate them up fairly quickly. We decided to get some dessert and ordered one of their newer dishes, their Kitchen Sink brownie. It was two stacked brownies with ice cream on top and surrounded by various bits of candies. It was incredibly delicious! Overall, I was very satisfied with the service and food at this location :) read more

High school cafeteria food quality to match the abundant number of waitresses dressed in school girl kilts. My hamburger was tasteless. Likeaphenomena liked her Asian Chicken Salad and the Little K managed to slurp down half her beer and cheddar soup. Entertainment was provided by the antics in the kitchen. My chair pointed directly into the path of the kitchen entrance and before long I was transfixed by my own personal viewing of Kitchen Confidential. The chef was fortified by a can of Red Bull and an assistant helped himself to fries waiting for pick-up. Perhaps that's why half my portion cup of fries was empty? And who knew that you could wipe out a dirty plate with a serviette and use it again? Sorry, but no. The Little K, who has official kitchen restaurant experience, told me that I should relax and enjoy the exposure to extra germs. A bonus: the night's experience might help me develop new antibodies for the next super-bug to come along. read more

It was a friends 15 year old daughters birthday and we were getting together to celebrate this milestone, so we allowed her to select the restaurant for us to take her to. Most kids would pick a South Street Burger, 5 Guys, or even a Swiss Chalet...she wanted to go here because, according to her, the food is amazing. Regardless, it was her choice. I had been to Jack Astor's in the past (the one in Vaughan) and wasn't all that impressed, but that was a while ago so I went with an open mind. Anyways, we were seated as soon as we arrived. Restaurant has a nice atmosphere and it was not that busy (it was Easter Monday). Our server, Josh, was at our table shortly after we arrived and took our drink order and returned shortly thereafter to take our food order. He made the visit memorable. He was funny, attentive, engaging and helped steer us through their menu. He recommended Pad Thai, stating it was one of the best he's ever had...so I went with his recommendation and he was bang on...it was excellent. Kudos for knowing your menu so well. He also brought out a brownie at the end of our meal to acknowledge the 15 year olds birthday....then lit a "sparkler" saying that every girl should have some fun on her birthday. He made her day with that small gesture/comment and made fans of the adults. Besides my Pad Thai (which was excellent), the 15 year old ordered a Deluxe Burger with fries, which she loved. My other 2 dining companions each ordered the Steak Sandwich. While both said the steak was cooked as ordered and was delicious, it was an open faced sandwich, which they weren't expecting. However, this did not prevent them eating everything on their plates. If it wouldn't have been too embarrassing, I'm positive they would have licked their plates as well. All in all, the food was excellent, atmosphere good, service spectacular (thanks again to Josh). It's interesting, I would have most likely not visited this restaurant based on some of the negative reviews, but glad that I did before reading them. I WILL revisit this location again. read more

A few friends and I went here this past New Year's Eve. The staff was really friendly, and our waitress checked up on us a fair number of times. My steak was not cooked according to my request, so they took it back and had it done properly right away. At the end of our meal, the manager approached me and said that desert was on them because of the steak, and I kindly declined because I wasn't hungry. She said that they could just pack desert for me, and have me take it home. This was generous, but I kindly declined once again. She then said that my drink was on them. This just goes to show that they're willing to go that extra mile to satisfy the customer. This has been my favorite bar & grill so far, and I'm definitely visiting this location again. read more

I've been here before they did the renovation and after they did it. The attitude here just completely changed after they did the renovation and the waiters think they are hot stuff and that you should be honored to be eating in there. Well. I went here with a couple of friends for lunch and requested a table where we could watch some tv. So of course they throw us somewhere where the view is terrible and I make them move us to another table. Oh. The place is not packed at all. It's about 1/4 full. Well. We start looking over the menu and the smoke alarm starts beeping. Except that there is no smoke. So they just leave it and let it keep beeping. The noise got so annoying that I asked our waiter if he could do something about it. He looks at me and says "What? You don't like our music?" while continuing to stare me down after his smart ass remark. So of course I say, "Ya. Very funny. Seriously. Unplug it like any normal person would do because there's obviously no f@#(*!g smoke." Yes. I am pissed. He gives me a look and walks away. The noise continues to beep and other customers are starting to complain. At this point, we've had enough and just leave. read more

That was very unfortunate that Keith had such a negative experience. My husband got some gift certificates for Christmas and we went for our first visit, for lunch, a couple of weeks ago. We found our waitress very friendly and I was impressed by the large selection the menu offered. The food was excellent and as we are both trying to do the healthier eating thing, I was glad to see some good options other than the usual battered/deep fried everything. All in all it was a very good experience and as we still have some money left on the certificates, we will definitely be going back. I really think that Keith should give them another chance. Maybe your wait staff that day were having a bad day or they were just a**holes but I do understand how one bad experience does tend to turn you off for good. read more
