Our Story

Dining in the Puget Sound area has changed dramatically since we opened our first restaurant in 1996. Back then, quality dining was mostly confined to downtown Seattle.

Our founders believed you shouldn’t have to travel downtown and pay premium prices to enjoy a top-notch meal and our first JaK’s Grill opened with this simple idea. We were among the first to bring downtown quality to the neighborhoods we love.

Over the years, we’ve grown and in addition to our JaK’s Grills, we’ve added Sunset Alehouse, El 42 Cantina, and North Bend Bar and Grill to our family. 

Nearly 30 years after after first opening our doors, we remain committed to great food and hospitality without the fuss.
