What a cool place. The Christmas lights give it a special ambiance. I had the tossed chicken fingers with Cesar salad and the bruschetta for an appetizer . It was so good!

I had the pleasure of being served by Thomas at Jack Astor’s, and he was the absolutely incredible! From the moment I arrived, their amazing attitude and friendly demeanor made me feel so welcome. They were attentive to every detail, ensuring my dining experience was seamless and enjoyable. What stood out the most was their positive energy—always smiling, and that smile could brighten anyone's day! They also had great hair, which just added to their charismatic presence. It’s clear they love what they do, and it shows in how they treat their guests. If every visit to Jack Astor’s is like this, I’ll be coming back again and again. Thank you, Thomas, for making my experience so memorable!

Friendly, courteous staff, Alina was the best! Organized. Fast service. Ordered NY steak with Lobster and shrimp sauce. Cooked perfectly! OmG sooo delicious. The garlic pan bread was amazing!!! The over the top Christmas decor was so festive. Loved my experience.

Their computer systems were down that day, so our orders were taken on paper. After waiting for around 30 minutes, we were told that our orders were lost (paper fell on the floor). Our server, as well as the floor manager, were really nice about it, and gave us a dessert as an apology. The chicken parmigiana I had was really good and worth the wait. I was quite stuffed afterwards, and just barely managed to finish the dessert. Lol

We enjoyed our experience very much and were celebrating wedding dress shopping together with my Mom and sister. Our server, Alina K was fantastic! The sangrias were so good! We were offered a celebration dessert complimentary which was a nice surprise.

Checked out Jack Astor's in Kanata, and it's a really nice spot to grab dinner. The inside is very dim and has colourful lights everywhere, and there's tons of tvs /posters everywhere, and I think we even saw a dj! The service was great, and I confirmed that the chicken here is 100% halal. I wasn't the biggest fan of my dish (coconut chicken nuggets) and the fries were cold, but my husband enjoyed the chicken tacos. I think it's a nice spot for friends and family to check out for sure.

Our favourite go-to place for great burgers, steak, and nachos. I’ve always loved food and general atmosphere at Jack’s, and this place is no exception. Their burgers are amazing, particularly the Holy Smoke BBQ Burger. My wife loves their Grilled Cajun Salmon. Kids enjoy their poutines and nachos. Service here is exceptionally good.

We came in for an early dinner and had great service. It did get quite busy while we were there but the servers seemed to be doing a great job. The Thai curry bowl was very flavorful with lots of things in it and not spicy at all. The lobster crab dip was very creamy and tasted great. My son liked the kids pizza and he had the cookie for dessert. They had excellent drink specials. I had a margarita on the rocks but when I asked for a tajin rim they couldn't do that. The blubbery lemonade is very sweet. Overall really happy with the food and service. This place is like a lot of other big brand restaurants with a good size menu and very loud decor. Prices were high but again on par with similar restaurants.

Pan bread is great

December 1, 2024

Absolutely terrible service at this location. We had reservations for 5pm. When we arrive they tell us it will be a 5-10 min wait that s okay no problem. They then stick us over to the side, then 25 mins later we notice they let 4 groups of people that just got there in. We finally had to go over and ask what was going on. Once they figured out what happened they then said they forgot about us. That is not okay. Once we get to the table, the server started serving other tables of people that came in after us. By this point it s 5:28 when she finally comes to our table. They tell us it s busier than normal sorry about that. No kidding it s busier there s a show at the CTC tonight. We booked the tickets back in February so don t tell me you didn t have time to prepare for this event. All in all I would not recommend.

The moment I walked in, I was struck by the beautiful decorations - the atmosphere was warm and inviting. But what truly made my experience stand out was the exceptional service. My waitress, Celia, was absolutely phenomenal! She was polite, friendly, and always had a big smile on her face. You could tell she genuinely loved her job, and it showed in the way she took care of me. I highly recommend Jack Astors to anyone looking for a great dining experience. The combination of beautiful decor and outstanding service makes it a must-visit. Ask for Celia - shes an asset to the team!

This is the worst restaurant I have ever consistently dealt with in my whole life. I order from here one to two times a week through their mine or my o and we go here 2 to 3 times a month. that all ends today. It s been kind of a running joke in our family for about a year that no matter what you do if you order a kids meal chicken fingers you will not get the dessert nor will you get the drink that you paid for at first it was kind of funny and we chalked it up to honest mistakes, but after it happening 17 times in a row, calling and talking to several managers, bringing up to the manager on duty and several servers when we were at the restaurant, bring it up with uber eats and leaving several reviews as well as emails to corporate they continue to steal the dessert and the drink from every chicken figure your kids meal that they sell through delivery. This is a disgusting and deplorable corporate strategy when it s brought up they simply give you a $1.85 refund try to explain to a five-year-old girl on Friday night when she s been waiting all day for her chicken fingers and cookie that she doesn t get dessert or a drink with her mealyou guys should be ashamed of yourselves

All it takes for his is one hour of meeting his customs for him to be able to read them! He seems to know when they are satisfied or not and he is not afraid and more than willing to accommodate them! The food here is good depending on your interested so of the service is good but I strongly recommend sitting in his area! Made my experience much better!

Appetizer came out just before entrees (server informed us entrees were ready when delivering app). Ask if we wanted them held, we said no (steak and salmon). Entrees arrived and steak was severely over cooked (almost as if it was held under warmer for several minutes already as we think app order was missed). All that, and we had no napkins or utensils until asking for them after entrees were delivered. Food was good, service was not.

I just had a sit down meal at Kanata Jack Astor s with my family and was served by this wonder waiter named Justin. He was super friendly, big smile on his face and he greeted us with pleasure. The kids took some time to decide what they wanted and he didn t hesitate to let us decide what we wanted and come back in a reasonable time. Justin got our orders perfectly made and made sure to come back in ample time to make sure our drinks were topped up. My family and I had our meals delivered to perfection. Justin went out of his way to go grab my son an extra dipping sauce for his chicken nuggets. All in all I was super pleased with my time inside Jack Astors and having Justin serving us. Thanks again. Would recommend to anyone visiting Kanata for a bite to eat.

I m a regular customer at Jack Astor s, ordering from Uber Eats often and visiting the restaurant almost every week. But my experience tonight was really disappointing and makes me think about stopping my orders and visits to this place. 1. The server didn t check on us at all, not even at the beginning or end of our meal, to ask if the food was okay. 2. When I tried to ask the server for something, she ignored us completely. I asked another server to call her, and it still took 20 minutes for her to come over. I could see from a distance that she wasn t busy, and I even tried to signal her, but she still ignored us. As someone who eats out often, I know what good service should look like, and this experience was very disappointing. Usually, the service at Jack Astor s is good, but this time it was really bad. In short, the server completely ignored us, which was especially disappointing as a regular customer.

Its the Holy Smoke burger with sweet potato fries pretty much any time I eat at Jacks. It hits every time. I mostly come for the awesome bar vibes. Ive received great service namely from Justin behind the bar. Hes just what most would want from a bartender. Very attentive, approachable and witty in keeping a conversation going in order to make you feel comfortable even if you are there alone. You wont be sitting with an empty glass or plate if he has you under his care which is just how I like it when Im yelling at my leafs on game nights. Thanks Justin!

Amazing service by all staff from the friendly greeting at the door to the bartender, the servers and the assistant general manager. The food was perfect. Even though it was super busy, the assistant manager Tegan & TWO servers, Angie and Madi, checked on us frequently to make sure we were getting what we needed. We really appreciated the smiles and light banter. We had fish tacos, chicken tacos & french fries. We all had desserts. They were incredibly huge, so Id recommend sharing if you dont have a lot of room when youre done your meal. Everything was spot on. It was expectedly busy on a saturday afternoon but we were so well taken care of by lots of staff, not just the ones previously mentioned. Id recommend this place to anyone and we are definitely going back to try More items from the menu & enjoy the service and atmosphere. Again a big thank you to Tegan, Angie and Madi and all the staff who took care of us. We Look forward to seeing you all again soon! 5 stars on everything!!

Visited Jacks recently and was served by a really personable and helpful bartender, Justin. Noticed he was not just serving us and the bar was also making drinks for the rest of restaurant via the other servers. And despite all of that, he made time to chat with us, and relate to us - mostly golf related talk. Drinks came out great, food came out quick, cleaned up after us quick, and provided our bill when needed. All in all, really good experience. Hes also really really ridiculously good looking.

Ive been to Jacks Kanata on a number of occasions. Any time we see Justin behind the bar we make a point of sitting there. His knowledge of the menu and drink options is impressive. He takes the time to make recommendations based on our mood that day, and always checks in to make sure we are enjoying ourselves. Justin has a knack for making everyone feel welcome... it is easy to tell that he loves what he does. If you are visiting the Kanata location, make sure you ask for Justin, you will not be disappointed.

Sorry, it took so long, Tegan and Angie . I meant to write this review weeks ago, but life got busy(you know how it is), and honestly, I feel like a grade A-A$$hole because the experience was that good, and its now Christmas time. It s Halloween, my friend and I roll into this place, and somehow we get the kind of service you d expect at a Michelin-starred restaurant not just any restaurant, mind you, but one run by angels disguised as Tegan and Angie. Let me tell you, Tegan and Angie weren t just great. They were legendary. We had a first-world-problem-level situation (you know, the kind), and their response was so quick, seamless, and perfect that it was like watching a symphony of customer service. I won t give away the specifics because I don t want to help the shady characters, but let s say their solution was above and beyond. Like, I m still thinking about it weeks later. Here s the thing: Tegan and Angie deserve gold stars. No, not just on the wall I m talking big, shiny gold stars with their names in italic cursive, framed with neon lights so everyone knows who the heroes are. Their kindness, professionalism, and sheer humanness deserve to be celebrated. Sure, the food was great, but these two are the real reason I ll be coming back. So, to the management, please give Tegan and Angie a raise, a crown, or maybe a parade because they ve earned it. If you re wondering whether to eat here, the answer is YES, not just for the food but also for the chance to meet Tegan and Angie. They re the kind of people who make you believe in humanity again. 10/10. Recommend, and I would wake up early to leave this review again because it s that good. P.S. TIP YOUR SERVERS. They re out here dodging Karen at table 6, refilling your light ice water 14 times, and pretending your dad s bad jokes are hilarious. They re superheroes, and superheroes deserve more than pocket change. Leave a tip that says, I m sorry for existing and thank you for not throwing my plate at me. Kid-friendliness: You can colour on the table. Need I say more
