History of the Restaurant

The very first Jack Astor's restaurant opened its doors in 1990. This first location was in the city of St. Catharines, Ontario. Since then, the chain has grown and opened many more restaurants.

A fun fact about the older restaurants was their neon signs. The sign for "Jack Astor's" would flash in a special way. The "tor'" part of "Astor's" would blink on and off as a little joke. However, as the restaurants were updated and renovated over the years, these unique flashing signs were removed.
