    We were celebrating my stepmother’s 90th birthday and Mother’s Day with a Friday lunch. The server was great! She was patient, attentive and friendly. The food was amazing - everyone enjoyed their dish. The tables were a bit close together and the volume loud, but still very enjoyable. We will be back!

    Jack Fry’s is our absolute favorite spot when there’s something special to celebrate—it’s our go-to every time! From the moment you walk in, the service makes you feel like a VIP—always warm, professional, and top-notch. The food? Out of this world. Every bite is a flavor-packed delight! The vibe is effortlessly cool, and don’t even get us started on the cocktails—pure perfection. And if you’re lucky enough to catch a night with the piano player, it’s the cherry on top. It turns a great evening into an unforgettable one!
