About Us

The time was 1962, and the future was
as bright as ever. On April 21st of that
year, over 51,000 people flocked to the
opening of the Seattle World's Fair. It
was a fantastic celebration of the future
that left in it's wake the Pacific Science
Center, the Seattle Monorail and the
Space Needle. The marvels of
engineering and architecture have
become symbols of Seattle, Washington
state, and even the entire Pacific
Northwest.

By the time the fair closed on October 21st, over 10 million
visitors had flocked to the Emerald City to participate in this
tradition of excitement, wonder, and hope.

That same week, in a smaller corner of Washington state, another
tradition was beggining. Jean Boyd created a family-owned
steakhouse called "Jean's Cottage Inn" continuing a legacy of
quality and value that her recently deceased husband, Bob Boyd
had begun in 1946 at his restaurant, the Tick-Tock. Now, over
four decades later, Jean's original emphasis on home-style
meals at exceptionally low prices is still alive and well at 3211
Main Street, in Union Gap, Washington.

So, whether this is your first time wanting to eat at our restaurant,
or merely your first time this week, we are glad you're looking for
Jean's Cottage Inn! You are helping to write a history that will
continue long into our new century!
