Jak's Grill, Seattle

We started our little company in 1996 on a shoestring. We loved eating out with our friends, especially on those rare, expensive occasions when we could get a great steak downtown. We often wondered if we could open our own place and compete with the great talents and deep pockets in the Seattle area. After several years working for other restaurants, we decided to take a chance. With our friends on board to volunteer their time, labor, and tools, we embraced the entrepreneurial spirit. We quit our jobs, and entered "The Game." We focused 100% of our efforts and resources on what we feel matters most in a neighborhood steakhouse: Superior Food Quality; Proper Service; Unsurpassed Value
