Jack Astor's Grill - Cheektowaga

Always a good time eating there!! Good prices, pretty straightforward menu! Fast service! Great attentive service. They don’t pressure you to hurry up and finish your food or order quickly. Food tastes great, and the drinks are nice! I even went there for Black Friday last year, still same great service- no pressure even though it was so busy!!

When I tell you that Marty was hands down the best waiter I've ever had!! He definitely was welcoming and very personable! Loved it there. Drinks were big and delicious. Food was amazing. Poutine and some wings.. Can't go wrong. Hopefully he see this and knows he made our night! Thanks Marty!

Our server was Miguel who was very attentive and patient with us. I had the chicken fingers with a side of buffalo sauce and blue cheese. They’re very generous with the quantity of the chicken fingers and perfectly crisp white strips. Overall great experience.

For a Mall Bar Restaurant: Surprisingly good! To sum it up, Good food, chill bar atmosphere with friendly bartenders and a quirky dining area, spiced up with cheeky shirts worn by waiters and waitresses that you always want a picture of without actually wanting to ask for a picture of them. They're truly meme worthy. I'm not a drinker, but my husband enjoys IPAs and is able to find something on the menu every time we come to JA's, which is now a weekly staple for us. Burgers are tasty, but they only do them medium because they're cooked on a flat top, so if you like it any other way, just come in expecting this. That being said, they are still stellar, especially with their French fries, which are perfectly crispy and salty with a shake of a shaker. They've got a great selection of appetizers that run the gamut, from deliciously buttered garlic bread, to mountainous nachos, which are really killer, even without the added protein. They've got some poutine fries that can get you where you want to be without going over the border. Want wings? They've got them and they put on a show, giving you a table side sauce shake presentation. You can get them in a variety of sauces including Hot, Buffalo: Medium, Buffalo: Mild, Sesame Ginger Garlic, Toffee/Chipotle. Pro tip: Sesame Ginger Garlic is DELISH! I'd say their shining star of entrees is their Chicken Tenders. These are some of the best I've tasted in Buffalo. The crispy coating isn't hard to crunch, they're moist, and really great for dipping or just eating with no sauce on the side. They also can be shaken in any of their sauces that are available for the wings, despite their menu only stating Buffalo Tenders. If you're looking for a sit down place to eat while shopping, or you're in this area, that doesn't really have a lot of sit down options, Jack Astor's is definitely a place to start.

I love the garlic pan bread...with cheese! It didn't disappoint! I should have asked for more garlic butter, but it was still excellent! I only had a side salad to go with this, as it was my dinner. I live in Virginia and rarely get to Buffalo. But I always go here. I've always enjoyed anything I've gotten here in the past. I wish there were more of these in the states. Ryan was my server and was excellent. He had a great attitude, was friendly and attentive without hovering. I would ask for him if I get back anytime soon.
