    We dined at Jack Fry’s for our wedding anniversary. This is an ongoing tradition. Everything was fantastic as always - food, service, drinks - everything was right on point. No doubt this is one of the most consistent and best fine dining experiences to be had in Louisville.

    Jack Fry's is consistently outstanding in the quality of food and service. The lamb chops were amazing as well as the filet and veal medallions. The shrimp and grits are a must!! This restaurant is a Louisville treasure and my go-to for special occasions.

    Oh my gosh! Awesome first-time experience! The staff was wonderful and kind. The short rib panini is a fantastic choice. The meat is so tender, the mustard adds a wonderful spice to the sandwich. And the cheese. Oh my! My husband loved this cottage pie. It was a rainy cold day in April and it was the perfect dish. The goat cheese in the mashed potato topping was nice and tangy. You can’t miss with either of them. Also, YOU HAVE TO TRY the Bourbon Pecan Olive Oil Cake. It’s so tender and sweet enough. The caramel and chocolate pair great with the cake. You’re welcome!
