St. Jack launched a happy hour menu in April 2014; options included duck confit poutine, the Lyonnaise cheese spread cervelle de canut, and the St. Jack burger.[9] The restaurant launched a late night happy hour in 2015.[10] Chef Aaron Barnett opened the "spinoff" restaurant La Moule in mid 2015.[11][12][13]

Jacob Harth became St. Jack's chef de cuisine in 2016.[14] The restaurant stopped using plastic straws in 2018,[15] and launched a brunch menu in 2019.[1]

Plans to open a restaurant in Lake Oswego, Oregon, were confirmed in 2019.[16] The restaurant Lac St. Jack closed in 2022.[17]
