Jack Saloon

Très cher et décevant. Steak 40 $ et doit payer extra pour des frites!
90 $ plus tard… Et bof…
Les toilettes sont mixtes et sentent l’urine d’homme.
Je n’y retournerai pas. Ça vaut pas la peine. C juste un semblant de bling bling.

I came here with a few friends just to get drinks. I decided I wanted to go all fancy and get a glass of wine. They have so many fine selections of wine! but I couldn’t get the one I wanted in a wine glass! What a bummer. I wanted to get the spanish marques but you had to buy the entire bottle. I was the only one drinking wine why would i need the entire bottle?! It’s a shame they don’t offer all of their wines in a single glass! The service is terrible it took them 30 minutes to get our drinks. Are you for real??? It wasn’t even that busy -.-

Food wise 1.5 stars
Service 4 stars
Came here for our office Christmas party. We were a group of 12. Walking in on a Friday night it felt more like a teeny-​bopper club than a restaurant. Seated quite quickly and our excellent waiter (the only excellent thing about this place) explained the specials with a touch of humor. Drink orders were taken quickly and served quickly.
Waiter came to make sure our drinks were ok and took our meal order. Everything here is a side, the burger itself is $ 12.50 with no fries, you pay $ 5 extra dollars for about 15 fries. A total rip off, really. I ordered the Jack Mac (or something like that, it looks like a Big Mac) the burger was huge and it was presented nicely.
How was the taste? Bland, it fell apart after a bite and became a soggy mess. I decided to just eat the meat and noticed that the meat itself was rubbery so the patties are frozen.
I just left it there, ordered a beer and listened to the garage band play for about 20 minutes till we all just got up, paid and left. Waiter was excellent though, not his fault about the food, but the premium prices and awful food doesn’t make it worth the trip.
Will anyone of us being come back for dinner? No. Maybe just for a quick drink before going somewhere worth while.

My girlfriend and I decided to try this place because it looked nice outside and the menu had something that seemed good.
We went in and were told to pick any place you want. Once seated we waited a couple of minutes without a menu or drink list till the waiter arrived.
The waiter asked us what we wanted for a drink… We decided to ask if they had a drink menu which they then brought to us.
Surely they will bring the food menu as well… Nope.
We picked our drink and then waited for one of the three waiters to take our order.
And we waited.
And waited some more while staring at the waiters who must have had a very important and amusing conversation going.
There were only 2 other patrons there. There was more staff then patrons. (Counting the bartender and manager?)
After 10 minutes of waiting we remember that the place next door had some great food! So we left.
TL;DR — don’t go here. Go next door.

I have to agree with the other reviewer, they call themselves Jack saloon and yet have this fancy trendy menu, marketing faux pas as they seem to have an identity crisis.
Also, like most of the restaurants in Cartier ¹⁰⁄₃₀ they charge premium downtown Montréal prices. Their simplest burger was $ 13 with no sides, just a burger.
If you’re looking for a place that would be on st-​Laurent street with an identity crisis and the prices that go along with it, but on the South Shore then you found it.

I don’t recommend this place to anyone who wants to eat. I gave it a second try cause it’s 50% off everything for girls on Monday. Every single plates has this weird smoked taste that gets on the stomach after two bites. The portions are ridiculously big which makes a lot of leftovers. When we told the waiter this was not eatable he didn’t even say a word and didn’t charge us. On the way to the car my friend threw up and that happened to me later during the night.
Go have drinks and dance there just don’t eat the food!!!

Really, really bad! If I could, I would give it a big fat ZERO stars.
Went there with my niece after visiting Quartier Dix30 for the first time, and not really knowing where the heck to eat, we decided to take the risk. Unilocal didn’t help us out as there were virtually no reviews for any of the places nearby. My gut as we passed this place was to keep walking but the few reviews I saw online (not Unilocal) via my phone seemed like it might be an intriguing place. Mistake number 2 was seeing (once we were seated) that the rather large dining area had maybe 5 other patrons and NONE of them were eating, only drinking beer. The place tries so hard to be cool, but epic fail. Super dark inside, the waiter seated us at the window but since it was getting dark, I mentioned we couldn’t really read the menus (there are lights but they were completely dimmed), he said «yes» but then laughed?!? The music is a strange strange mix of like 80s, 90s alternative, yet the décor tries to be Western??? The music was so loud we had to yell to hear each other.
I had read online that they had happy hour and other promos, so I asked our server if there were any that evening we were there. He responded NO. OK, nevermind, off to the menu.
We saw that pretty much every item on the menu tries desperately to look cutting edge in its mix of savory and sweet. In the end, most of these attempts are just really gross and vomit-​inducing. Who the heck wants a piece of filet mignon ruined by a coffee crust topped with hazelnut and chocolate sauce??? That’s just one horrific example! We ended up ordering an appetizer of Imperial Nachos to start which had some chili in it. They made the nachos with some Asian-​fusion style, big mistake in my opinion. They call it the «one and only unique Imperial Nacho». Yeah, you got that right, it’s unique but not for the right reasons! The chili was sweet yet sour (I think they put some of their homemade ketchup in that too) and I think it had cinnamon in it, the chips were kind of stale and there really wasn’t much cheese to be found. I believe there were also bean sprouts (Asian-​style, remember??). Goodness, I just CRINGE thinking back to our experience!
For our mains, we both ordered the same thing, the «safest» thing on the menu (or so we thought), the cheeseburger. This place is a totally joke, as you have to order sides like fries as an EXTRA otherwise you only get the burger which is already overpriced. Our server also had the audacity to tell us that the price of $ 3 for add-​ons to a main course which were printed on the NEW menus (this place only recently opened!) is wrong, and it’s actually $ 4.
Anyway, I ordered fries and my niece made the big, big mistake (poor thing) of ordering onion rings. The fries were edible, but the homemade mayo and ketchup they gush about was virtually unedible. The ketchup was SOUR, SOUR, SOUR, basically just pureed acidic tomato and the mayo was like eating creamed lemons, no mayo flavor to it. YECH.
The burger was a monstrosity, with a large slab of very chewy fat Canadian bacon, and the meat just tasted OLD. A bit like sandpaper and just… not fresh. My niece even questioned whether we would get sick afterwards.
I got tired of trying to take a bite of that thing as it literally was like 5 – 6 inches in height and kept falling over, with various ingredients going all over the place. And the two or three bites I did have was simply due to sheer hunger.
My niece’s onion rings were thickly (and I mean, THICKLY) coated with maple syrup and had a super dark color to them. I forced her to eat one because I felt bad returning the whole thing to the kitchen, but in hindsight, I should have told them just how bad their concept is. They were not crisp/​fluffy at all, just limp and soggy from the syrup.
This is the same establishment that has a Krispy Kreme burger, some other monstrosity with a piece of meat in between a gross, sickly sweet donut.
We walked out of there $ 80 poorer, still hungry but with a weird burpy feeling in our stomachs. We quickly downed a Pepsi each in the car on the way home hoping to burp the grossness away (sorry TMI).
The ultimate smack in the face? Once home, I quickly googled them again hoping to find the truth from someone, ANYONE, about this place. I found their Facebook page and lo and behold, the manager had posted at 5pm the day we visited (and we got there at 5:30PM) that females had a 50% discount on all food starting from 5PM that evening!!! Of course they have a promo; no one in his/​her right mind would eat here for full price! I wouldn’t eat there again for FREE.
Our server said NOTHING about this promo so either he was clueless or just didn’t want to mention the deal. All he did was come every 5 mins and ask «It’s good?» to everything on our plates.
Just writing this review (and I know it’s long!) makes me shudder…
Save your money, your tastebuds, your stomachs and please skip this place!
