Jack Fry's

I've had many wonderful meals at Jack Fry's over the years and this past weekend was no different. This is an old school Louisville staple and always impresses. First, the service is incredible. Everyone is so friendly and dedicated to ensuring you have a great time. I'm a vegetarian and our server and the chef went out of their way to ensure I had a great meal. Second, the food! Everything we had was phenomenal. I started with the brie salad (Bibb lettuce in Dijon vinaigrette, topped with melted brie and almonds), which was fantastic. The creamy brie plus the sharp Dijon dressing is a fantastic combination. For my main, the chef did a double order of the Agnolotti appetizer (House-made pasta filled with fall-spiced butternut squash in a sage cream sauce drizzled with brown butter and topped with hazelnut gremolata and micro mustard greens), along with an order of the creamy baby butter beans that accompany the Pork Shank entree. Both were incredible! The pasta combo of creamy butternut squash and savory sage was early fall perfection. The protein hit from the beans ensured I had a balanced meal. I finished my meal with the Créme Caramel (Caramelized vanilla custard and caramel sauce) -- omg, I could have eaten five of them. So good!Third, the ambiance! Jack Fry's is such a fun environment. I love all the old photos of patrons throughout their 30+ years. It is dark and moody with lots of wood. It is so cozy and perfect for enjoying their food. Highly recommend! Sorry for the lack of photos -- everything was so good that I jumped right in. And for all my vegan and vegetarian friends, just ask your server about options and I'm sure they'll find something for you.

Definitely an old school Louisville staple, good service from a professional wait staff. Very dark inside and tight quarters in the dining room My associate ordered the filet which he said was very good, I have the salmon over a starch with spinach. Overall solid experience, more of a romantic dinner, special occasion spot with limited (but good) menu choices, only one steak offering. Also, per usual in that area parking scare.

As always Jack Frys delivers on all fronts. Ambiance unique romantic setting. Service is over the top excellent. Food is incredible, every dish, every bite. And now that they are offering a flourless, gluten free cake, I am over the moon!! Our go to place for special occasions, birthdays, anniversary or just a nice date night.

I was recently in Louisville for work during Derby week. Someone mentioned that Jack Fry's was a must try. We weren't sure if we could get in because derby week is very busy but they were able to get us reservations for an early dinner. Let me just say that this is one of the best meals I have ever had in Louisville or anywhere for that matter. The service was excellent. The drinks were very tasty and we enjoyed the ambiance of the place. We didn't dress up but there were several tables that were dress in their derby fare. I had the pork chop that was cooked to perfection. Come hungry because the portions are not small. I can't wait to come back and try the spare ribs. They start you with a bread basket of baguette and soda bread alongside warm butter. Both are delicious but the soda bread is my favorite. It gave unsweetened pound cake vibes. I had their house mock-tail that was very tasty. It's kind of like an old fashion without the bourbon. Overall it was an excellent experience and I can't wait to come back.

The ambiance had my wife and I were blown away. I felt like I'd stepped back in time. Ii almost expected Sammie Davis Jr, Frank Sinatra, and the rest of the Rat Pack to hop on stage. The white linen and candles definitely set the mood. The food blew my wife and I away. The crab cake was amazing! It was meaty and flavor full!

We have been trying to get reservations for some time at Jack Fry's. Since our anniversary was coming up, I tried extra hard and even called the Resturant 90 days out to get a table on our celebration day. I was able to secure a table for anniversary and so for 3 months we eagerly awaited the date to show up on the calendar.Once the date arrived we eagerly headed down. All I can say was it was worth the wait.We walked in , gave our name to the receptionist, who then had a person to show us to our table.Once we were seated a most excellent server came by told us about the specials and took our drink order. I decided on the Haymaker punch, or two, and my wife order special martini. The drinis came out and were better than expected.We ordered a Tomato & Artichoke Tart as an appetizer.It did not stay on the table long due to its amazing taste.I ordered Shrimp and grits instead of a salad and my wife ordered the Brie Salad. Both had exceptional taste. For our entrees, I had Salmon and my wife ordered the Lamp Chops.And as with everything else we enjoyed, the Entrees were extraordinary. We both agreed that we could have stoped eating before our entrees were served, but the food was so good. All in all a most excellent dinning experience. We are looking forward to returning and trying a few of their additional offerings.

I'm always gonna give Jack Fry's a 5 star review. They're just awesome. Food, ambiance, everything. You'll see a few dishes we had today in the pictures. I started with the warm Brie salad. Can't come here without getting it! My lunch was a pork tenderloin sandwich. Sliced moist tenderloin with toppings on a pretzel bun. Very good. My main issue, and I'm really surprised by this, is that for sandwiches at lunch, they give a choice of sweet potatoes or fries. I chose fries. They are the kind with the crust on them, similar to Wendy's. They need some fries that taste like potatoes, not artificial enhancements. My opinion!My husband had the shrimp and grits, which is a staple. Always very good. And my BIL and SIL had the seafood croquettes that they reported as delicious as well.The dessert we had was a chocolate bomb, tasty, but they had an orange cake that was simply to die for!!!

We had a wonderful dinner at the bar. We had bar seating to ourselves! The establishment reopened on Sundays, and we were lucky enough to get in a reservation with the help of the young ladies answering their phones. My husband had been there on a business trip about 15 years ago and loved it so much he wanted to come back and reminisce. Back then, they had tornado warnings and they had to go in their safe room until all cleared. Jimmy the bartender was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed his attention and great service. We ordered the special/ pasta with scallops and lobster. We also had the burger topped with pimento cheese; Substituted spinach for fries. Both dishes were absolutely delicious and enjoyable.

Great dining for lunch or dinner and as always a great experience from service to atmosphere!

Four of us went to Jack Fry's tonight. Service was excellent (thanks, Jenny and all who bustled about making sure all was well), food was superb, Jamie found a new beer to enjoy and I tasted duck for the first time and think there must be no better place to try new dishes. The duck breast with foie gras was a special appetizer. I'd eat it every day if I could.We shared desserts after our entrees - a flourless chocolate cake (excellent!) and my favorite, another special - strawberry champagne cobbler. (I want more!)Jack Fry's has an authentic old charm.
