Hey - we're Jack Astor's. Our mission? Great people helping other great people totally have a blast while enjoying amazing food. We specialize in delicious food and drink and are a lot like a reverse mullet- we're a party in the front and all business in the back. In all seriousness though, we take real pride in our food and make over 200 recipes in house - Every. Single. Day. Mic drop. Try our fresh guacamole, centre cut aged Canadian AAA striploins or our famous Jack's Chicken Fingers, made with fresh never frozen seasoned chicken tenders, hand breaded to order. We also sling an impressive selection of craft brews and cocktails. So let your hair down, loosen your belt and come hangout!
I had an amazing experience at Jack Astor's. Erin M was a wonderful bartender. As soon as we sat down, she was friendly and attentive. Her drink recommendations were spot on and the cocktails were great. Great energy, quick service, and very professional. Highly recommend stopping by for an awesome time, especially if Erin is behind the bar! Will definitely be back.
Great experience, enjoyable food, and lovely service! The festive decorations were everything. Will certainly be coming back!
The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and rich flavors that made every bite memorable. Kale H our server, was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and incredibly efficient, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. A place I’d definitely return to!
Crazy loud at the bar, more a club vibe but overall amazing restaurant. Patio has the nicest view. Bartender does bottle flips skillfully. Food is always good. Fish bowls and nachos are great a great option for sharing.
Came in a few weeks ago, and we had a pretty good experience overall. We sat up on the rooftop patio, which was nice (although a little warm that day). They have mist sprayers above the bar area that help keep things cool. The atmosphere was really nice. Service was good, although a bit slow that day. Our server was friendly, though, and had some good recommendations for food when the menu items we wanted were out of stock. Food was good, although the items we had initially wanted to order were more popular and had sold out when we arrived. Overall it was a good experience. I definitely recommend the rooftop patio! Will be back!
You almost have to check out the rooftop patio if you’re visiting Kingston; it gives the most gorgeous view of the downtown area/Market Square. The food is decent and the drinks are tasty and well-priced. I was incredibly impressed by our service over the long weekend; fast, efficient and kind without being too much of a presence during our time there. Great work!
The food was delicious 😋. stopped in for a bit to eat after mothers Day shopping. It turned out to be a beautiful day to eat on the rooftop patio. Severs were friendly, and food came out fast. My only complaint was how long to took to get our bill.
Very trendy place, very good to come to see a game on their huge whole wall TV inside the main room, and in the summer time featuring amazing roof patio upstairs! Food is good, selection of drinks is also good , so I highly recommend to plan to stop by when you are visiting Kingston downtown!
When it comes to atmosphere, combined diameter/quantity of TV s and exceptional service from our bartender.. I believe his name was James C.. my experience was nothing short of Ace s! 10 outta 10 would recommend finding out the days James works and going to experience him first hand.
Our experience was great! The food was delicious, and Mia, our waitress, was friendly and attentive. A wonderful experience overall!
I like having dinner there every other while
Love the atmosphere. Food is always great and comes out on time. Kylie was super nice and helpful.
Patio is really nice. Great spot to grab a drink.
Our server, Kaitlin was very helpful and attentive. I had the blue cheese chicken burger. It was very to flavourful and the chicken very moist. This was a great experience Food
Here for a PhD defence celebration, Kaitlin was great!
Kaitlin was great!
Went here a couple nights ago with my family it was okay server forgot about us and brought drinks to table next to us while we had been there for about 15 minutes waiting for 2 others to show up. then chatted with the other servers for a few minutes while we were still waiting on drinks wasn t impressed but the food was okay 4 stars.
Nicole is the best!!!! A group of us were in the other day and even though the restaurant was a little busy, Nicole gave us her full attention and took the time to make sure everything was handled well. Shoutout to Nicole!!!

I went to dine a few weeks ago with my daughter. The food was pretty good. I enjoyed the Ceasar salad with chicken, and my daughter had chicken fingers. The best part of the meal was the service. Thank you, Mia V. for being so attentive and helpful. She went out of her way to make our experience enjoyable. She was kind and friendly and worked very hard. Best experience at JA, and we have been many times.

I ordered takeout and when I got home I opened this $20 calamari, pretty disappointing. The calamari pieces were the size of a dime. It seemed like scraps from a deep fryer that they put in a box.
Great dinner and had the best server in the city! Dietary restrictions: Very gluten friendly. Food : 5/5 |
Liv served me up an icy cold Baileys on the rocks. Rocked my socks off!
Liv serves me a Canadian almost every day ! Service is 10/10 with an amazing attitude! She really can sling those drinks around !

We always love coming to Jack Astors when we are in Kingston! Kylie was our friendly server for todays visit. I always have a hard time deciding which of my favorite dishes to order. Love the pan bread and the homestyle chicken fingers! Food is good and service is always friendly and attentive!
Went out for lunch with my friend and had an amazing experience here. Josh, specifically, was extremely helpful with all requests made during our visit to the restaurant. 10/10 would recommend! Try the Asiago chick bow tie pasta!
My friend and I were looking for a good place to eat downtown to catch up! Right away we were welcomed to the restaurant with pleasant smiles and positive service. The manager Josh was extremely helpful when it came to suggestions from the menu! We ended up ordering a couple appetizers to accompany our drinks before our main meal!!

Amazing! Parking: We found a spot fine! Food : 5/5 |
Delaney is such a good server! Super nice and attentive!
Kylie made the night great. Pan Bread absolutely a must do
Today I went to dinner with a friend from another country in order to get to know the city a little better and above all because of what I loved Jack before today, first, we arrived and while we were waiting for those who were behind us took our table, the host apologized but did no more, which well, it was not her fault, but the waitress, Kylie, terrible service, I had to ask her repeatedly to bring water, we waited for the food to arrive for more than 40 minutes, and it was a member of the kitchen who brought it to our table, like, really? Very nice the member of the kitchen who brought it to us and was super nice, but the waitress was happy to gossip, she took 20 min for a water, she didnt ask us if we needed anything at any time, we always had to call her, she did the bill wrong haha, and we tipped her because we were sorry we didnt leave anything and not because she deserved it, because the truth is very bad service, 0 welcoming, super mean, and we didnt even understand why. I used to go to Jack quite often, because I love it, but this leaves me much to said
Awesome, clean environment with tasty food and great service. Shout out to the best server, Gabby!
It s especially festive down here right now with all of the Christmas decorations! Plus Gabby our server was more than exceptional, down to earth, friendly and on top of our every need!

Delaney
The best server ever!!!! We loved Delaney
Good Christmas vibes! Kylie our server was very good!
First time going to this location. We arrive for an early dinner around 4:45pm. Seated at a table near the bar. There we another 4 or 5 tables already seated and a handful of customers seated around the bar staffed with a bartender. Other half of the restaurant looked empty so there were not that busy for a location of this size. After being seated noone came to take drink orders or even acknowledge we were even there. We sat there for about 15 minutes all the while 7 servers were beside the bar at the far end chit chatting and what appeared to be preparing cutlery and napkins. The table next to us had to flag down an employee on their way past them to ask for some more water. The 2 menus that we were given when seated had 2 inserts of the partial menu. 3/4 of the menu was missing. While I can appreciate it taking time to be served in a busy restaurant what I dont get it why 7 servers can huddle in the corner while tables are waiting to be served are not being supervised in a restaurant that wasnt even at 50% capacity at 4:45 on a friday night. First and last visit to this location. We went to a well known burger restaurant on the west side of town and were served promptly (in a much busier restaurant) and the food was excellent. A big FAIL Jack.. big fail.
Service was absolutely incredible! Delaney is such a nice young lady, definitely will be coming back again soon :)
Very nice staff. Great food!
Will never be back. Went here for my birthday and the service was absolutely atrocious. All of our food came out extremely cold, and the customer service was awful. We spoke with our waitress and manager did not care of our disappointment. He took off the few meals of my table that sent our food back (we never complain about our food.) Our waitress was very passive and not friendly. Please go to one of the many other amazing restaurants in Kingston!
Niki A
Nikki A was such a great server, true professional!
Niki A. was awesome. She served our large group with poise. A total pro!
With no reservation and a large group this JA took us in no problem. To add, our server, India was on the ball and offered quick friendly service without hesitation. She was knowledgeable with the food and drink menu. Just a refreshing pleasure to have a great server in a great environment in an industry where a lot just dont care anymore. Great job India. Thx.
Great location & service. Jack was a great!
I was really well served by Parth. The meat was really well cooked with a nice seasoning.
Great atmosphere, great music, great food and our server was amazing!
Our server was great the food was fine the only problem I found was the bathroom.You have both men and women sharing the same bathroom which was very dirty one man did not lift the seat which made me change my mind
Tia B is the best. Fantastic tendies
Very expensive for what you get
We had a reservation for a large group and service was quick and efficient. Food was cooked to perfection. Kat was amazing!
Ordered the pad Thai and the steak , both were delicious. Jack, our server , was sociable and nice. Been here lots and will come back!
Welcoming, pub atmosphere and dishes well appreciated by all, too bad the rain didnt allow us to enjoy the terrace...
Great time! Love it here. Niki was an outstanding server. Highly recommend.
Food was great but when we sat at the bar the service was the worst Ive ever experienced. If you want a mixed drink, keep your expectation low because you wont even get ice.
Chance was our server tonight and she was awesome!! Definitely enjoyed our dinner out with our kiddos
Chance was so much fun! Love the music and vibe.
chance is super cool and actually saved me from a burning building and foster s like a dozen helpless animals.
Chase was amazing so slay
Chance is an absolute G
Abby was wonderful. She s awesome at her job. Best server ever
Chance was AMAZiNG!!!!!!!!! Will definitely be back
Chance G was fire, the best server ever. My every need was fulfilled. This is real - Chance made our day!
Chance was awesome!
Our server Darren was fantastic. We are new to the Kingston area and popped in here for lunch. I had the Wonton Nachos which were curated perfectly and tasted as good as they looked. We also ordered the bacon cheeseburger, from the fresh made bun to the juicy beef patties and the crispy bacon this burger hit it out of the park. Thanks Darren for the outstanding service.
DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU ARE AMERICAN OR HAVE AN OUT OF PROVINCE ID! Hands down one of the worst restaurant experiences I have had. I was shown to my table and no wait staff returned for over twenty minutes, so I went up to the bar to ask if I could order a drink. We had reserved a table for a party of 11 for a 21st birthday party. Staff are not trained on customer service or how to properly read an ID. I have never had a less understanding, more hostile conversation with a bar manager. I am from Vermont and my friend is from Alberta. They would not accept any of our IDs despite the fact that we presented them with over 6 pieces of valid identification between the two of us. I am less upset about the poor training that resulted in our server not being able to read an ID that was from outside of Ontario, because while still disappointing, it was nowhere near the unprofessionalism we encountered from the bar manager. They claimed our id s were fake, despite no proof and not scanning them (they re real, they would scan). The experience was so negative that we left without ordering anything, and Jack Astors lost eleven customers as the result of poor training and customer service. A bar manager that cannot properly read multiple real ID s has no business being in charge of alcohol sales. An extremely unfortunate 21st birthday party experience, I suggest taking your business elsewhere.
Loved it there, good vibes great food! Definitely recommend! Kat was incredible!
Our server Erin was great!
Jana was a great server. Very friendly and attentive
Jana was a lovely waitress!

Tonight we came in for drinks & some snacks and we re served by Mia, she was great, gave us recommendations for food and drinks. We had a great time. Lots of Christmas decorations in the restaurant also
After making a reservation over a week in advance and planning a nice night out together, my husband and I showed up for dinner. After waiting almost ten minutes for anyone to even talk to us we were told they didn t have access to any reservations and hadn t for quite a while ? He informed us that they didn t have any tables available so we could go sit at the bar or wait for a table. The host then walked away without even waiting for us to reply. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed and won t be back here. Update: I emailed them as they requested on and was told management from this location would be getting in touch with me, I never heard anything back from anyone.
Amazing back of house quality, service and friendly people.
Music is way too loud. Its hard to make any conversation.
