Best Waitress
Shellback favorite Jen Osbourne.
Jen Osbourne, Shellback–No stranger to service awards, Jen Osbourne has been voted Best Waitress once again for her ability to be the consummate tour guide on your mini-vacation be it behind the bar or working the floor. Jen, now at Shellback Tavern has come full circle, again working for Bob Beverly, the man who brought her into the biz nearly 20 years ago when he owned Grunions on Sepulveda, MB. Over the years she has developed quite a fan club with customers following her from Grunions to Shellback to the Castle for her quick service and quicker wit. Aside from tending bar, Jen has developed her own jewelry line with pieces made to tailor any taste. Next time you see her, ask about the specials and the necklace she’s sporting, it will most likely be a piece of her artwork.
