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". He was a much-loved character who often gave a free meal to a needy friend. Jack closed his business in 1972. After ten years of renting this space as "Por Que No", a Mexican restaurant, it was re-established as Jack Fry's in 1982. Susan Seiller bought the restaurant in January 1987, the same year that saw the death of Jack Fry. It was Susan's vision to transform Jack Fry's from a casual dive into a fine dining staple, which she did so with aplomb during her tenure. She purchased and renovated the building next-door to accommodate a large and fully-equipped kitchen. The original kitchen area was renovated and updated to create a guest entrance and additional dining space. In February of 2008, Susan passed ownership and sold the restaurant to Stephanie J. Meeks, who was first employed in 1996 and had quickly worked her way up to become the general manager. Throughout Stephanie's tenure, she has overseen extensive renovations to both dining rooms, including adding new guest restrooms, temperature-controlled liquor and wine storage, and enhancing the bar top to preserve its historic charm and add modern amenities. In 2023, she celebrated 15 years of ownership. This anniversary coincides with the acknowledgment of 90 years since Jack and Flossie first opened their doors to the public. We feel incredibly lucky to still be here after all this time, and we look forward to continuing our history with you!Jack Fry's was established in 1933 by Jack Fry and his wife, Flossie.
