Not halal: no halal claim from the chain

No. Jack Astor's Bar & Grill makes no halal claim on its site or FAQ, and the menu includes bacon, chorizo and pork gyoza, with beer, wine and cocktails served. A curry bowl on the menu doesn't mean the chicken is halal.

Jack Astor's is not halal. There's no halal claim from the chain, and nothing we checked names a halal location.

The record

  • The Jack Astor's FAQ doesn't mention halal, pork or meat sourcing.
  • The menu includes bacon on burgers, salads and poutine, chorizo queso and pork gyoza, and lists pork as an allergen. Beer, wine, cocktails and shots are served.

The curry bowl mix-up

Jack Astor's has served curry-style chicken dishes, and that sometimes gets read as a halal signal. It isn't. Nothing on the menu says the chicken is halal.
