Our Story
Jarboe’s Grill has a rich legacy that started with Hank, who began his culinary journey as a dishwasher in a local restaurant right outside of his hometown Canby. His passion for cooking and his ability to create delicious meals quickly became evident, and in 1992, he opened his own restaurant, Jarboe’s Grill. Hank’s hard work and dedication paid off, and the restaurant soon became a beloved local spot known for its delicious food, friendly service, and welcoming ambiance.
Over the years, Jarboe’s Grill became a staple in the community, attracting people from all over the region. Hank’s commitment to quality and his passion for cooking never wavered, and his restaurant continued to thrive, even as the culinary landscape changed around him. Eventually, Hank decided to sell the restaurant in 2005 to pursue other interests, but the legacy of Jarboe’s Grill lived on.
Travis, who had started eating a Jarboe’s eventually started working as a dishwasher at Jarboe’s when he turned 15. He fell in love with the restaurant industry and went on to work in various restaurants around the country during his 20s, honing his craft and gaining valuable experience. However, he never forgot the lessons he learned from Hank and the magic of Jarboe’s Grill. So when Hank called him in October 2022, asking for his help to bring the restaurant back to life, Travis knew he had to answer the call.
Together, Hank and Travis worked tirelessly to create a new version of Jarboe’s Grill that would honor its legacy while also bringing it into the modern era. They poured their hearts and souls into the project, carefully selecting the menu items, designing the decor, and creating an ambiance that would make customers feel at home. Today, the new Jarboe’s Grill is a testament to Hank’s vision and Travis’s dedication, offering customers a unique and unforgettable dining experience that continues to carry on the legacy of this beloved local institution.
