Behind the Scenes: Great times and good laughs with The Jack Staff.

At The Jackalope Grill, we take food and hospitality seriously — but ourselves? Not so much. Our team keeps the laughter flowing almost as much as the wine, and sometimes the best part of the day happens when no one’s looking. Here’s a little peek into the quirky, joyful chaos behind the scenes with our amazing crew.

Congratulations Aaron

🎓 Aaron’s (Almost Forgotten) Graduation

Let’s give a big round of applause to Aaron, our rockstar dishwasher, who officially graduated this year! 🎉

There was just one tiny, hilarious hiccup: our sweet, homeschooled bundle of joy totally forgot about his own graduation... until the very last minute. 

The look of pure shock on his face when he suddenly remembered was priceless. We’re still giggling about it — and still so proud of you, Aaron. Congrats!

☎️ Annabelle's Unexpected “Love Call” 😉

Our bartender Annabelle recently received what may go down as the most entertaining phone call in Jackalope history.

Having fun, Downtown Bend

As she answered the phone, the team slowly gathered around her, pretending to sip tea with our imaginary teacups — jaws on the floor — as a very enthusiastic admirer complimented her repeatedly and..proposed a Shopping Trip. Yes, really.

Blushing and laughing, Annabelle graciously (and repeatedly) let the gentleman know she was happily taken. Eventually, she just sat down in the courtyard, making herself comfortable while the poetic compliments kept rolling in. Sir, whoever you are — thank you for the entertainment. That was totally the best call of the year.

🐇 “I Know All About Jackalopes…”

Shoutout to the mystery man who called and left an enthusiastic voicemail informing us that he knows everything about Jackalopes — and then proceeded to share that expert knowledge in great detail.

We honestly loved every second of it. Educational and delightful. Thank you for making the whole team smile — you’re now unofficially part of the Jackalope family.

📎 You’ve Been Clipped

If you catch one of our servers or kitchen staff running around with a paperclip attached to their shirt, don’t worry — they’ve just been clipped.

It’s a little game we play to keep things lighthearted in a world that can sometimes take itself too seriously. Spot it, smile, and feel free to join the fun. (Bonus points if you secretly clip someone back.)

More behind-the-scenes antics, heartwarming mishaps, and downright hilarious moments are always unfolding at The Jackalope Grill. Because while we’re serious about great food and warm hospitality, we believe joy belongs in the workplace, too.

Stay tuned for more “Jack Shenanigans” — and as always, thanks for being part of our story.
