Food was excellent. Felt that server was disappointed in his 20% 30 dollar tip. The options were 18, 20,25,and 30%. I feel a 20 percent tip is good. Maybe I’m out of touch. Great place though. Great attention to detail with the food and presentation. And the server was very nice till after paying the bill.

Our mission? Great people helping other great people totally have a blast while enjoying amazing food. Wow, that was a mouthful. But can you blame us? We’re a restaurant. One that specializes in delicious food and great times. Our goal is to make you laugh. And depending on your hot sauce tolerance, cry.

In all seriousness, we take real pride in our food. Try our Cluckin’ Fresh Chicken Fingers, made and seasoned with fresh, never frozen chicken tenders. This isn’t run-of-the-mill pub grub. Our Band of Chefs are influenced by a wide variety of tastes and have travelled across the globe to gain inspiration.

But outside of the kitchen, we find it hard to take ourselves seriously. We have an Elvis booth. For no particular reason. Folks, that really does say it all. We’re sports fanatics, music nuts and love a good joke. If you’re into at least one of those things, we should hang out.

It was really good. You know what you are getting yourself into when dining at Jack Astors. We had, the blue buffalo sandwhich, the crispy chicken sandwhich, Asiago chicken bow ties, and chicken strips. Al the food was fresh, hot and really flavourful. 4 birthdays while we were there so of course really loud and busy but that’s what you get with JA’s
