I live in Louisville and enjoy tasting the different foods the city has to offer. Jack frys suprised me, the exterior wasn't inviting but the yummy food was. I enjoyed grits with country ham and oysters. You should give it a try.

A touch loud, and definately not inexpensive- minor negatives for Jack Fry's.
