    The food, from appetizer to dessert, was delicious. The table was a little crammed. The service was excellent.

    Lovely dinner with good friends! Excellent service and wonderful food…Between the 4 of us we had 3 different salads, the pork chop, the salmon, and the burger (love the bacon jam on the burger)! It is always a treat to dine here!

    Jack Fry’s is a Louisville legend! It feels like a 1940’s supper club with superb food and service! Great bar drinks and a beautiful old school bar!

    It’s our go to place for a special lunch. It could very well change as well to our go to place for special dinners as everything is so great. I love never being rushed. We appreciate all that you do to make some of life’s small moments quite memorable. Keep up the great work

    We had a terrific time. Food was delicious and Danielle’s service was perfect. Had what I think is the best 4 top table available. Just next to what used to be the front door. Great time.
