Jack Astor's was not busy on a Friday night when I visited. The place was rather empty. One thing that stood out to me was the crayons and brown table cloths typical of a Montana's restaurant. I had to ask the waiter if they are owned by the same chain. Apparently they are not.
I did like the tshirts worn by the staff. They had these clever little sayings on the back. Jack Astor's never disappoint with their overall aesthetic and atmosphere. Sports is always on.
I had the calamari as an appetizer. An average sized plate, it's battered and fried. It came with two sauces, a red tangy one and a more cream like ranch style sauce with a slice of lemon. If you're into fried foods then definitely try this. I particularity did not find it too tasty.
My main was their signature chicken finger and fries. It says on their menu that their chicken is raised without the use of steroids and grass fed which made me want to try them. I had medium spicy in buffalo sauce. Fries were good overall. I found the chicken to be juicy and very pleasing to the eyes. It was however, a little salty to my taste. It reminded me of the saltiness of tobasco. Nevertheless, it was good.
Overall, I would visit this restaurant again.
