Jack Fry's sits at 1007 Bardstown Road in the Highlands, operating today as Meeks, LLC under proprietor Stephanie J. Meeks. The restaurant still greets guests with the line attributed to its namesake, Jack Fry: "You're a stranger here, but once!"
Regulars and visiting diners keep circling back to the same handful of dishes: a pork chop, shrimp and grits, a brie salad, a burger, house bread, and ice cream for dessert. A piano player is a fixture of the dining room as well, part of what gives the place its old-school character.
It's the kind of address that's built a loyal following in Louisville over the years, with a historic, clubby atmosphere that regulars point to as much as anything on the menu.
