Why aren't there more place like this one! In Toronto, you apparently can find better japanese food than in Japan, better middle eastern food than in Lebanon, even better french food than in Paris (si, si), but it is almost impossible to find at least average North American food. Apparently, good burgers can only be found in two kind of places: either in a greasy basement operated by a gorilla or in a big empty hallway looking like the deck of the starship Enterprise. Well Jack Astors is the exception. It's big but warm, it's clean but friendly. The people who work here are so nice that it is almost unreal and the burgers are really good. And they have wines that don't make you wish you were a beer drinker, which is very rare in this area of town. One more thing, do not miss the smallest brownie in the world. Delicious and only 98 cents!
