| - Came here for a work Christmas lunch just before the holidays. I've been to Jack Astor's quite a few times in the Toronto locations before, but this is the first time I came to the Whitby location. I initally had trouble finding the entrance. After I parked I realized that the entrance is facing inside the pathway (they have a section that allows pedestrians to walk around "like a plaza" so all the entrances of restaurants were facing inwards in that sense.
Staff are very nice, friendly. It was busy, so sometimes service was a bit slow. I ordered the sangria - quite a delightful drink! It comes with extra juice and wine on the side so you can adjust the sangria as you wish. However, for 12 bucks, it's a bit more pricey than sangria in other places.
I ordered the garlic pan bread. Still as good as I remembered it :) Tho this time I found the bread just a bit on the drier side. I was expecting it to be more moist.
Next I ordered what I always order, which was the chicken fingers and fries. Chicken fingers did not disappoint either, they were still just as good, though next time i might add the extra sauce!'
I love their chicken fingers because they do their own breading. Therefore when I eat it, the crust just falls apart softly, giving it that lovely crispy yet juicy texture that I love about chicken tenders :) The only compliant is that I kind of wish the portions are bigger... When I"m paying 13/14 bucks for chicken fingers, I expect there to be more than 4 (see picture).
My friend ordered the crispy quinoa chicken slaw. She said she really liked the slaw. In fact I was quite surprised how much greens was provided. I would've actually really liked that with chicken fingers :)
Overall the food is pretty good and i love their chicken fingers, but at the price and quantity, I won't be coming here regularly just to get them.
