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’re sports fanatics, music nuts and love a good joke. If you’re into at least one of those things, we should hang out.

Review summary

Jack Astor's - Toronto (Front St.) offers a lively atmosphere with "exceptional service" and tasty food. Ideal for celebrations, the location is convenient for Union Station commuters. While the patio is popular, note it can be noisy. Some guests reported issues with air conditioning and restrooms, but overall, it's a great spot for gatherings.

My reservation was missing in the system. It seems open table often glitches for them. They found space for us but it was very lucky they did. It was VERY busy with the leafs game.

Service was great as was the food. Wait staff came by a number of times to ask if we needed anything and to refresh our water. We sat in a quieter area of the restaurant so didn't have to shout to have a conversation. Will be going back should the opportunity arise.

I wasn’t thrilled with this place. The hostess would not allow me to bring my water bottle to the table, which was ridiculous. She said it was against policy. She finally allowed me to bring it in if I dumped the water into the potted plant! I then walked to bar to have them refill it. It was a exercise in stupidly. We were seated at a table near some giant palm leaves that kept hitting me in the face. I had to fold the fronds behind each other to eat in peace. My friends’ meals came but not mine. I had to flag down my server to ask. I asked if there was a main floor bathroom because I struggle with stairs. I was told no, even though they are a ‘Service Inspired Restaurant’. On the plus side, the food was good, but I won’t be returning to this place. Downtown Toronto has many great restaurants with great food and far better service.
