The original St. Jack restaurant opened on Clinton Street in southeast Portland's Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood in 2010.

The restaurant launched a late night happy hour in 2015. Chef Aaron Barnett opened the "spinoff" restaurant La Moule in mid 2015. Jacob Harth became St. Jack's chef de cuisine in 2016. The restaurant stopped using plastic straws in 2018, and launched a brunch menu in 2019. Plans to open a restaurant in Lake Oswego, Oregon, were confirmed in 2019. The restaurant Lac St. Jack closed in 2022. Reception
