My Fiance and me have been going to Jack Frys for our anniversary for the past 4 years. There has never been a time where we were disappointed. We recently celebrated six years together on Oct 14 and our waiter Will was fantastic. He was very professional when i had ordered something that they had ran out of that night and he even took off my fiances drink he ended up not liking. What topped off the night was when he brought out a bunt cake for us and it even had a candle for our anniversary.
If you are looking for a nice date night restaurant i definitely recommend Jack Frys.

I can see why New York Times has this as the first place to eat in its “36 hours in Louisville“ article. Stephanie-the owner- made sure everyone was happy. I can see why it wins Best in Louisville awards repeatedly.

Excellent service with delicious and beautifully presented food. We had the heirloom tomatoes over latkes for an appetizer, seafood pasta, pork chop, and bourbon short ribs for main course. Who knew there was such good seafood in Louisville! Definitely worth your time for lunch or dinner. Everything was fabulous.

The food was fantastic. Very good service. The cocktails are good and reasonably priced. The appetizers and entrees are all very good. The atmosphere is romantic and just right for a date night. Can be a little loud (especially during the weekends) but you can still carry a conversation above the noise. Valet parking is convenient, especially with limited parking next to the building. We’ll be back!

This was such an enchanting experience. It came as a recommendation for bartender at another establishment. We changed our reservation at Reveal to come to Jack Fry’s and it did not disappoint!! We will definitely be back when we are in Louisville next. What a wonderful way to celebrate my 50th birthday!!!

Jack Fry’s is a true Louisville classic. It’s classy and timeless, and works just as perfectly for a casual meal at the bar as it does for an intimate date, a business lunch, or a group celebration.
The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. The staff is professional, competent, and strikes that rare balance of being warm and familiar without ever feeling too casual or too stiff. At the bar and during lunch service, be sure to see Vanessa.
Stephanie, the owner, is very hands-on and present. She’s there every day, greets guests, gets to know you, and makes you feel like family — something you don’t find often anymore.
The food is outstanding across the board. The burger is an absolute must, and honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu — tutti bene. The wine list is thoughtfully curated, not overdone, and the pairing recommendations are spot-on. Just trust them. And if you’re in the mood for a cocktail or martini, it will be perfect.
You simply can’t spend time in Louisville — or live here — without putting Jack Fry’s on your must-see list or keeping it in regular rotation. Highly recommended.

Great experience all around. My daughter had the Jack’s burger and it was perfection. My wife had the filet and loved it. I ordered the cioppino which was very good, though the portion was a little small. The crabmeat arancini was excellent.
Jamie was our waiter and he was outstanding. He’s a 23-year restaurant veteran and it really showed. The new GM, Eric, stopped by a few times to check in and did it in a way that felt genuine and not over the top. Eric is all class.
We’ll definitely be back.

One of the jewels of Louisville, Jack Fry’s did not disappoint. The staff is sharp and attentive. They know the menu inside and out and are happy to make recommendations. We had escargots appetizers and the sea bass as well as the filet. It was one of the best meals we’ve had this year. Reservations are required- so plan ahead and book early. This place is a must for any occasion.

Came for the 1st time and loved everything. Excellent service, food was 5 stars, and fabulous jazzy type atmosphere. Definitely plan in advance and make reservations (or you may get lucky and have seats available at bar).
Had the salmon and it was scrumptious

My fiancé and I had a lovely lunch. The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, relaxed with historical pictures on the walls throughout. The service was excellent, attentive but not overwhelming, and the cuisine was delicious.
