Jack Fry's was established in 1933 by (Malachi) Jack Fry and his wife, Flossie. Fry was known as a rambling, gambling kind of guy who loved amateur boxing and horse racing. As a result, Jack Fry's became a sportsman’s hangout, as evidenced by the numerous historic photographs that fill the walls of the current dining room. He was known to conduct his bookmaking and bootlegging affairs discreetly from "the back room". Jack Fry's is now known for its elevated dining, exceptional service, and lively atmosphere. Executive Chef Duncan Williams serves American bistro fare with French and Southern influence. This warm and intimate setting has been named as one of the best restaurants in the state on numerous occasions and is a can't miss for any visitor to the Commonwealth. Reservations are strongly suggested however our full service bar is first come first serve and open for walk ins seven days a week. In the immortal words of Jack Fry "You're a stranger here but once!"

This is one of my favorite places in Louisville. The ambiance reminds me of the Roaring Twenties. It just feels like deals have gone down in this restaurant. The food and service are excellent.

Great establishment! Had a reservation for a Sunday dinner and was seated promptly. Wonderful service throughout the night. Highly recommend the Veal and Lamb Chop entrees.
