Lynden restaurant is reopening with the original owners and a slightly different name
Here’s a roundup of retail activity happening around Whatcom County:
▪ Jake’s restaurant is scheduled to open Tuesday, Nov. 19, at 8114 Guide Meridian in Lynden. Originally known as Jake’s Western Grill, Brian and Tanya Poag have moved back into the area to reopen the barbecue eatery.
The Poags operated the restaurant from 2007 to 2017 before they sold it and moved to Arizona. Jake’s lasted for another year before closing at the end of 2018.
The new menu will include favorites from when the Poags ran the restaurant, including beef brisket, pulled pork and baby-back ribs. In a news release, the Poags said they will be adding a few other items, including a smoked half-chicken and beef ribs.
The inside of the restaurant also has been remodeled with new booths, tables and flooring.
Once open, hours will be 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and open an hour later on Friday and Saturday. Take-out orders and catering are available by calling 360-656-6332. Further details can be found on its Facebook page.
