    Small quaint restaurant with a fabulous menu with a wide selection. Service was better than I’ve had in many restaurants. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a quiet evening out.

    The filet is the perfect plate! Steak is so tender, potatoes have a nice crisp to the outside, asparagus cooked perfectly. My all time favorite place to have dinner!!!

    I've been dining at Jack Fry's for the better part of 20 years now and the food continues to amaze me. You always wonder if there's gonna be a letdown at some point when a restaurant has been operating for so long, but not the case with Jack Fry's! Quality, the size of the portions, the presentations, etc., are all perfect. Not to mention, the great service from your team, as well. Looking forward to the next visit!

    Service was miserable. Very unlike the restaurant. Very understaffed. Food took more than an hour to get ready. Seemed like the restaurant was not ready to handle the volume on a busy day

    We have been going to Jack Fry’s for special celebrations for nearly 40 years. This visit did not disappoint. The salmon dish was excellent. The ambience was upscale.
