I've came to this jacks many times. I love the food, vibes and service here! My go to appetizer is always the Lobster crab dip, so yummy and creamy! I usually go to the chicken fingers(so fresh, never frozen) in honey garlic or buffalo sauce. Their Buddha salad is so refreshing too, I ended off my meal this time with their delicious Chocolate Malted brownie, with ice cream on the side, the warm and cold sensation of the two is for die for. Soooooo good, service was great as usual. Lots of parking out front! Great dinner experience everyt read more

Jack's - Chocolate Malted Brownie - Sports Bars Near Me - Newmarket, Ontario

A pretty good dining experience here. The food was prepared fast, tasted fresh and the service was friendly. I found the alcoholic drinks to taste a bit watered down but that could just be me. Overall, it's a solid Jacks and my family frequents here often for consistently good food. PS: the chicken tenders are amazing!! read more

OMG... overpriced frozen burger ... what a disgusting excuse for a $25 burger...poor menu choices... 2nd time here in a month... both times couldn't eat this terrible food... on a brighter note... the server did a good job ... don't go here ... won't be back read more

Yesterday, I went to Jack's with my husband and son for dinner. We ordered two servings of Jack's Pasta. While this has always been one of our favorite dishes across various Jack's locations, this time, the quality wasn't up to the usual standard--it was overly greasy. Since this restaurant is one of our favorites, I hope this issue is resolved soon so I can once again enjoy my favorite meal. read more

That evening my spouse and I were at the nearby Canadian tire when I suggested dining out and we decided to try this Jack Astor's. We arrived and were greeted genuinely by the hostess and were seated at an outside corner table. Lovely summer evening, nice ambience, what else could we ask for. To our surprise, a group of people dining next to us was being utterly loud, I requested to be reseated elsewhere and was promptly reseated at a semi-indoor table. She was very polite and requested for the order. We ordered and the food was on the table within 10 minutes. The food was delicious and the drinks were fresh and chilled. I highly recommend this restaurant for a nice summer evening dinner read more

I used to love jack Astor's. Generous portions, reasonable prices, a fun place to hang out. Parking: Lots of parking. C'est les suburbs people. The car is king. Entrance: Weirdly facing Yonge Street. You have to walk around the building to get to it. Decor: Modern. Some glimpses of the old jack Astor's with the chalk boards with funny sayings. The bar used to be separate. Sigh I wish it still was it would be quieter at night. Low tables, booths, high tables seating. Food: Typical fare that you see at places like this, burgers, fries, pasta, pizza, a few other things like salad and whatever is the dish that is au currant every where. Sadly prices have gone up portions and quality have gone down. Pepe line up to eat here and I'm not 100% sure why. Oh they crank the music in the bar area so you have to tell over peoe screaming in order to be heard. Sigh. read more

First and foremost, our server, Courtney was very attentive, made us feel welcome and remained calm and professional when treated rudely by a different group of customers. Kudos to her! Great casual atmosphere, excellent customer service and delicious food. Very importantly, the kitchen staff are attentive when it comes to food allergies. Last night my wife and I had the garlic bread (we originally wanted calamari but there was none in supply) which was recommended by our server and they were delicious, and shared 2 lb of mild chicken wings. Dinner was delicious! read more

We love this spot as we have a 6 year old and find the atmosphere so accommodating and fun. On most visits we find both the service and food to be great and we are excited to be there and return again soon. Tonight was the opposite. We were again seated in a far corner (by the bar with our child). The new menu is quite disappointing with several favourites removed such as the fajitas. We tried something new and it was a flop See photo) Not what we have grown to know and expect from JA... :( read more

Jack's - Disappointing new mains - Sports Bars Near Me - Newmarket, Ontario

My friend and I both brought our hearty appetite to this place last night. Personally, I had not been to any Jack Astor's since my university days...we'll not mention exactly how long ago that was. We were afraid of how long we were going to have to wait based on the lack of parking available in their fairly big parking lot. But we were in fact able to be seated immediately, after an unexpected walk through the restaurant while the woman was finding us an empty table. Fairly limited menu in comparison to other bars and grills. Only one page. Both my friend and I went for our favourite items on the menu and ordered the bow-tie chicken and I ordered the chicken parmigiana. Both were delicious, well cooked, and had a hint of heat. For dessert, we shared a 'my cookie ate my brownie' and it was warm and gooey. I give them full marks for the creativity of the name and that dessert concept. Servers were friendly and attentive despite the busy atmosphere. The place was SO loud but I wasn't expecting much to the contrary on a Saturday night and by the time we left there was a long line out the door. But for a chain: they were clean, friendly and certainly met my expectations for a Jack Astor's. read more

Jack's - My cookie are my brownie with a side of ice cream. - Sports Bars Near Me - Newmarket, Ontario

Came here for Valentine's dinner since we been procastinating about making plans. Super surprised that we got seated after 15 minutes of waiting. I love the vibe here and the booths are nice - makes perfect setting for dates. We got seated beside the bar and our server Leandra immediately greeted us, gave us her recommendations - she suggested the lobster dip for apps. We didn't know what we wanted so she gave us a few minutes to decide. After she came back, I've ordered the Asiago chicken bow-tie pasta and my boyfriend ordered the steak. Honestly, I couldn't remember his order but it was delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly rare with red still in the middle, it wasn't dry and it was super juicy. I was pretty satisfied with my entree and the only complaint I had was I wish there was a bit more sauce on it. Other than that, the food was delicious. Service was great, food was great, definitely, be coming back. Our server Leandra was amazing, she even treated us to brownies for date night. That was very sweet but we were both super super full and tried to eat it. I think I would come here for girl's night out for drinks, I love the vibe. Happy Eating Fellow Yelpers! read more

My friends and I ordered the Mahi Tuna salad and oh mannnn was it a RIP OFFF!! Tiny pieces of tuna and hardly any lettuce??! Def will never order that again read more

Had the worst takeout last night. I spent over 45 minutes online creating an account and trying to order. It just wouldn't accept that I wanted fries with my chicken fingers. I finally gave up and called to place an order. One minute on the phone to place an order. I'll give them credit that they got the order correct. No issues with that. I directly left my house and went to pick up the food. Maybe a 10 minute drive. They did say 20 minutes but I would rather wait than have cold food. What did I get you ask? Cold food! Two orders of soup that was cold. Not even the slightest bit warm. Three orders of chicken fingers cold. Not a car in the parking lot, no one else waiting for food. How??? read more

I love Jack Astor's Newmarket. We moved here six years ago & we tried a number of different restaurants. We kept coming back to Jacks. The food is consistently delicious. The staff is always friendly. During COVID we would get curbside every Friday. It was so nice to be back in the restaurant tonight. Jack Astor's Newmarket is my favourite restaurant in Newmarket! read more

I have a negative experience to share. The guacamole order was completely forgotten by the waiter, The calamari appetizer for extremely disappointing - very tiny slices of calamari covered with huge layer of flour coating. And the final - new salad from the future menu didn't have an avocado. Our waitress don't even know to apologize. I visited other location before , this one is a big disappointment! read more

I make a point to come to Jack Astor's every week because I honestly just can't get enough of that lobster and crab dip ! Besides the dip the excellent service always keeps me coming back ! The staff there is super friendly and they are very informative about the menu, and are always willing to make adjustments/substitutions for us to make sure that we are satisfied ! I usually opt for the dip or the beer cheese soup but every once in a while I like to try items on their seasonal menu. This time I got the pulled pork poutine to share with my friend and it was very tasty. The only complaints is that it did not come out all that hot and it had mustard on it (which does not go with poutine in my opinion) but it was still delicious and I would definitely try it again (asking for no mustard next time). For dessert I always get the lemon concoction, it has lemon, sprite and vanilla ice cream (don't knock it till you've tried it) it was a recommendation from one of the servers and I have not looked back since ! read more

Quality of the food wasn't great for the price. Nachos were burnt and potions undercooked. We ordered the pasta with cheese on it and honestly it tasted like someone put a melted cheese slice on it and served it. Also ordered the pokie salad of which majority was salad with a very small portion of pokie, for 22 dollars I would expect much more. Based on the experience, poor quality food and over priced meal doubt I will ever return. read more

The staff & food are fabulous here! They make the best red sangria (with extra fruit) & offer a variety of items on the menu. We recently were there with a larger group of ladies (girls Night) and they even had a magician who went table to table performing various tricks. I personally visit regularly with my best friend as it's our "go to" spot to debrief on each other's lives & were from Alliston so that's saying something if we're willing to drive to Jacks that's 40 Min Away. Honesty, Ive never had a bad experience here! Highly recommend 10+ read more

The Jack Astor's location in Newmarket is fairly close to home and so we have been regular patrons throughout the year but especially on New Year's Eve for the last few years. Their full menu is available and they are busy but not crammed with people, especially if you go between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. or so. We tend to have a leisurely dinner and go home and watch the NYE programming (CNN, Fox, etc.). Service is always quite good, even on a busy holiday evening such as this one. Their menu never fails to satisfy. My favourite is their made-to-order chicken fingers with a side salad, but I have also enjoyed other mains such as steak frites, entree salads, pizza and chicken parmesan. Their chain of restaurants is quite consistent no matter where you go but we like the Newmarket location because it's close to home. read more

I love Jack Astor's, it's one of best Canadian chains to actually serve decent food and the prices are pretty reasonable. I have been too alot of locations, from Halifax to Toronto and I have to say, this is one on top of my favourite Jack's location. The servers are all friendly and on top of things, especially Nick. He is super friendly and very observant. He notices even before you have to ask for another refill to bring you another glass. He also always gets the order right. I love the chicken fingers here, they are never frozen and super tasty. The steak fajita is also excellent but I like my meat cooked and they serve it medium-well and alot of times it will come out pretty raw, which I could never consider eating and if you ask for well done then you usually end up with an overcooked fajita.. Sooo I just chance it and if it needs a little extra cooking then I just get them to throw it back on the grill. I love love love the garlic pan bread! It's sooo good and very addictive, I could eat one or two myself! Jack's has a very nice atmosphere. I like the stack of TVs they have around the dining room. It's different and unique. They also have some flat screens in the bar so it's a great place to come and watch a sports game if you like sports or just a nice place to bring some friends and have a drink. Bonus: they accept SPC Card which gives you 15% off your meal! read more

I have sent a letter to head office based on the discrimination I endured On January 15th. I was the only customer that was denied drinks, even though I was there with 3 other adults over a span of 3 hours and we had ordered food. I was accused of not "sharing" my sangria when in fact I had given a glass to everyone (two to my brother) but my fiance as he hates white wine. I had no idea that the Manager had sat down beside us through the night to watch every drink I drank. Maybe I should ask her next time, if my "pour" is sufficient to her standards. I was also asked to pay the bill in advance because the manager felt I would be unable to pay the $155 bill. My fiance and I are currently paying for our wedding where the cost per a person is more than doubled the bill that night. This was a slap in the face. I was the only one asked to pay my bill early and the only one to be denied drinks. I even spoke with the customers behind me because they heard what the waiter was saying and they said that was ridiculous. Maybe because of my ethnicity there was an underlying assumption about my ability to "handle" my liquor. I also have my smartserve, so I know the policies, I've spoken to my friends who are servers and they have all agreed that the manager was out of line. My fiance and his brother are Caucasian and they said they have NEVER experienced that type of treatment, while I can't say the same thing. It's just shocking that I had to experience that in this establishment. read more

I have zero complaints about this franchise. Each time I order, I know what to expect, I know there's no hidden fees, I know the servers are polite and friendly (sometimes sassy but who doesn't love some sass) and the food will taste just right. I can't even begin to tell you what I've ordered here. Here's what I know and love; bruschetta, beer & cheddar soup, shrimp pad thai, chicken fingers, roadkill chicken sandwich, asiago chicken caesar salad, lettuce wraps, lobster & crab dip, just to name a few. They recently renovated the lounge and dining area making for one large restaurant. I'll keep coming back since everything is consistent whether it's lunch, dinner or late night. read more

Went there tonight because we have odd days off during the week due to busy schedule and all the other places in Newmarket on a weekday close at 9 or 10pm. We had a great experience! Our server dani was awesome! She was so attentive and friendly. Everything we ordered came so fast and was great! Update - went back the following week and had dani again and she just as amazing!! This is our new spot for sure! The great customer service goes a long way!!! read more

I can't believe I've never reviewed this Jack Astor's - especially given I've been here dozens of times. No one makes nachos like Jack Astor's - no one. They layer the toppings just right, they bring you generous dishes of salsa and sour cream; and they've got UNREAL hot sauce options. I order the same thing every time I'm here which is the chicken fingers with the buffalo hot sauce on the side and sweet potato fries. The crust on the chicken fingers is really the best of both worlds - crispy, but not enough to cause injury. Coupled with that buffalo hot sauce? We're in paradise. The wait staff are always on top of things, and they've got a pretty good selection of beer, too. read more

Great spot to catch the game and enjoy some good food! Jacks is consistent with friendly service and quality food. Chicken wings are my favourite, smiling Buddha salad is also a great option if you are looking for something lighter... Great selection of beers on tap and ceasars are yummy too, enjoy! read more

Jack Astor's never disappoints. Their food is delicious, their drinks are good and their staff are always nice. Their homemade chicken fingers are the best, their garlic cheese bread is amazing and they make the best restaurant-style poutine I've ever had. The decor in the restaurant is humorous and their tables are perfect to keep children occupied. Their takeout during lockdown was also fantastic. The way they packaged food ensured that it wouldn't be soggy by the time it arrived, which most restaurants don't do. Overall, a great restaurant that we visit often. read more

I have been up here in Toronto for the last few weeks and I found this spot from one of the people I work with. Jack Astor's is a decent sports bar with decent food. The draughts are huge and the HD wall of television is great. The food is ok on the whole. The chicken flat bread is well priced, good tasting and very tasty. One night I had a burger with fries and it was basic burger nothing to write home about. The staff is very nice and very friendly. There is music playing in the background that sets the mood when the massive wall size video panels start playing videos. I like it here and I plan on trying some other things and will get back to you with my review. It is so damn cold here it makes this place a warm and cozy place to hang out and just relax on a Sunday afternoon. read more

This location use to be one of my favourite places in Newmarket. The last couple of times i went my chicken has been undercooked even after requesting for it to be well done. Their appetizers never disappoint! Service is okay. read more

Smaller portions and higher prices--the beginning of the end for so many good restaurants. The new menu is only one page, single sided. That's the first case of shrinkage for Jack. I ordered the new Asian Tuna Bowl for $17. Several pieces of seared tuna, a quarter of an avocado and a couple of veggies on a bed of rice. A bit rich for so little. My dinner guest had the usual chicken and bow tie pasta--again, a smaller portion than usual. Disappointing after decades of eating at Jack Astors. At least the Caramel Dream desert was fantastic! read more

I have been driving by this place for over 2 years and finally went inside last nite for a date nite with the mrs. First impression, damn, this place is huge inside. Great patio. The trees and plants give you some sort of privacy so not every driver on Yonge st knows what you are upto. Ordered the sesame garlic wings and bruschetta and a pitcher of sangria. I wasn't expecting much from the wings as my go-to place is st.lois or all stars, but the wings here were awesome. Bruschetta was amazing and fresh. The sangria was perfect. The mixture/combination was perfect. Service was pleasant and courteous. Am i going there again you ask.... Hell ya! read more

Ordered Jack Astor's the other night for the family. Ordered online through the website and it was very easy. Ordered curb side, and food was delivered to my car within minutes upon arrival. Food was great (like always), but I want to give a special shout out to the manager Danny. Forgot to ask for some BBQ sauce for the kids chicken fingers. As he was dropping off the food, he overheard my son asking me to get some sauce, and INSISTED he went back in to get some. Was an awesome thing to do. Thanks Danny and Jack Astor's! We will be back again! read more

Just wanted to give you guys a shout out! I ordered your chicken fingers two days ago and I am still thinking about them DELICIOUS!!!! Thank you for staying consistent throughout these difficult times. You made my week!!!! read more

Just needed a little vacation from my cabin fever during lockdown, so decided to treat the family to Jack's. Have the app and love that I can order & they will do curbside pick up & bring right out to my car!!

Of all the Jack Astor's locations I've been to, this one is my FAVORITE. For so many reasons. The food is mouth watering. Customer service is through the roof!!! And the beautiful staff are beautiful inside and out! No other restaurant makes me this fulfilled when I leave and I feel like I've spent my money on an experience, not just a meal. read more

Consistently on point, every time you walk in the door you know what you are going to get. Friendly people serving you, great tasting food that looks great on your plate and a good amount of selection on the beverage menu. I enjoy the joint as a place to watch sports in the bar area as the fellow sports fans create a great energy. During the Jays disappointing boot out of the playoffs there was even a magician. Not sure if the bar brought him in or he was there on his own accord, however outside of say Las Vegas, you don't see that very often. The only downside of this place is the price. Of the big chain restaurants in the area, it is a tad on the pricey side. The food is good, but not great and for some of the prices, I'd expect a bit more. read more

Jack Astors Newmarket is my all time favourite restaurant. The food is always amazing, especially the cheese pan bread! The service is excellent, they check on you the right amount of time they are always friendly. I go there every year for my birthday! read more

Decent food. But compare to another jack Astor location it's not as good. Good pub atmosphere. Lots of families w young children and lots of birthday celebrations. I can tell that the staff really cared to make the birthday star feel special. Was there during a big leafs game and the crowd was pumped. Our server came to ask us if we wanted dessert menu when we were obviously still finishing our food. I understand because they were really busy. She did say take your time but I got the hint. Plus there were staff that kept walking around w an iPad to check on all the tables to mark where everyone is in their dinner so they can plan, which was kind of annoying in my opinion. What upset me was when they brought the ice cream to our kids, they gave them plain vanilla flavour. My younger son does not like plain vanilla ice cream so he took two bites and didn't want it anymore. When the waitress came to give us the bill she asked why he didn't finish. I told her because at the other location they offered either chocolate or caramel drizzle, which my son loved. She replied "oh! I could've done that!" But failed to offered it to him even though the ice cream wasn't even melted yet. Oh well. I understand, they were busy. I'd go back again for its food. All the staff were friendly, young and energetic. However need a bit more training on guest service. read more
