This coming Tuesday will be our last dinner service. We want to thank everyone that has come by since we made our announcement and for everyone on our team that has stuck with us this far.

Please be patient as we are trying to limit the amount of on-hand inventory after we close, so we are going to run out of things. Let's be real, y'all are already used to that with us. ๐Ÿ˜… We are also running a bit short in the kitchen and food wait times might be longer than usual.

We are closing the kitchen one hour early (at 8pm) on Tuesday so that our staff can have a chance to hang out and say goodbye to our guests and each other.

See you soon,
Sammy and James

To our beloved guests and community,
We have made the decision to close J Wildโ€™s in the coming weeks. When we took over, we had so many plans to make J Wild's a special community spot, building on the amazing food quality and service that was already established. One of our biggest goals was to make sure that we remained a family restaurant, a place that was kid and wallet friendly. To make J Wild's our own, we wanted to add happy hour, trivia nights, improve the whiskey selection, a loyalty program, seasonal specials, and moreโ€ฆall of which we accomplished, but none of it was enough to overcome the financial challenge of running a restaurant โ€œin this economy.โ€ By that, we mean in a place where costs only continue to rise thanks to both legislative changes and general inflation.

On top of the day to day fight to stay open, we had our first child in March. Realizing we would never have the family time that we desire solidified our decision to close. We have no more to give of ourselves after sacrificing so much of our time and all of our resources, to J Wild's, our wonderful staff, and you, our guests.

This wasnโ€™t an easy choice, but it was our only option both financially, and for the sake of our family. In terms of fulfillment, neither of us have ever been happier than when we were running the restaurant. We dreamed about our daughter growing up playing with the POS stations like Sam did, and working her first job on Sutter Street. Itโ€™s a vision that is heartbreaking to let go of.

We are grateful for the times that we had and the people that became our community and regulars. A huge thank you to everyone that came through our doors during the time they were ours.

With heartfelt gratitude and no regrets,
Sammy and James
