Review from Chris Y.

Nothing really sensational about this place, but it was one of my go-to lunch spots with my coworkers. Not as expensive as Crazy Horse next door, not as boring as Subway and Quizno's, etc, - just good food and great variety!
Seriously, there's something for everyone here... burgers, pizza, steak, Asian, salads... perfect for groups! I usually abide by the saying, "jack-of-all-trades, master of none" - but that's pretty harsh, because I've never been disappointed by eating here!
Prices are reasonable, ambiance is fun, service was great... no reason not to come back!Listed in: Food, eh?!

Awesome service during rush hour! food was on time and well cooked. I got a medium rare steak with blue cheese and it was delicious. Even though It is a chain restaurant the quality of food was better than expected. I wouldn't mind stopping in for another steak.

First off I would like to say that I have been going to Jack Astors for a long time because the food is fantastic! The atmosphere is great and the staff is always friendly. The only reason why I am writing on here is because I was pretty disturbed the last time I ate here. My booth had a direct view into the kitchen and while the kitchen looked very organized and clean I was very grossed out by what appeared to be a manager doing. He was very overweight which shouldn't excuse him but I actually saw him lick all the grease off of all of his fingers after touching the garlic pan bread and then continue to readjust the bread within the pan!! I literally gagged!! I do not think this would pass a health code and I can honestly say I will never order garlic pan bread EVER AGAIN!

We went here on a thursday evening at around 7.30 and it was BUSY, the wait was about 20 mintues, we decided to wait. The actual wait turned out to be 30 minutes and our group of 5 was stuck in a booth for 4. Needless to say, the 3, who had to share a side were not happy and kept elbowing each other. We ordered a regular pepperoni pizza, thai curry w/rice, chicken tenders with buffalo sauce and for appetizers - chips with the spinach and artichoke dip.
The chips were crisp, fresh and non greasy, the dip was perfect and in a huge bowl. The pizza was just average, the bread too thick for my liking. The chicken tenders were awful, they were greasy and hard, the crust was soggy. We had asked for medium hot on the sauce and it was super bland. The fries that came with it were crip and good.
The star of the night was the thai curry w/rice. Perfectly cooked vegetables and chicken with the curry not too sweet not too spicy, just perfect.
Overall, it is good for a family dining experience with reasonable prices and quick service. -

When you're out in Kanata looking to go out, there's one of two ways you can do it. You grab the car and drive the 20 minutes or so into the city, park, eat, then drive home, or try to do the same somewhere much closer to home. So then you're left with what's on offer around. By hitting the Centrum Shopping Centre, there's several around. Yes, they're mostly franchised and cower in the shadows of the big box stores like the Best Buy (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) and the AMC 24 (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...), even as franchises go, there's some decent things to be had.
Not my first choice usually, I actually like the Jack Astor's in Kanata. Though I tired by the strategic-letters-burned-out-on-neon-sign gag pretty much as soon as I saw it, it's not a bad place to grab dinner and a drink. The staff are consistently friendly, the décor is what you'd expect in a JA's, and the drinks menu is decent. You also get to draw on the placemats, so try that at your other fancy-cloth-table-cloth restaurants.
Admittedly, the burger is the best thing on the menu, in my humble opinion. That and a whatever-is-half-decent-on-tap should be enough to get you fed before you hit the cinema or the movie rental place. -

I love Jack's. It's a fun environment with really good staff. The food is consistently good and often excellent. It does trend to be a little loud during the lunch and supper rush and on weekends. The noise level fits the venue for the most part but it's not where you want to take grandma for an evening out.
Although I love Jack's, I've been disappointed with their price hikes over the last several years. We used to be regulars but now seldom go as a family due to the expense.
