Server

About Us

HomeGrown is different from any other restaurant job. We’ve taken the idea of everyday kindness and made it part of everything we do. We believe in ‘Local when it’s better’—partnering with local food purveyors, dairy farmers, bee hivers, and more who share our commitment to freshness, quality, and community. Even our tabletops and booths are made in KC! This is our fifth restaurant (with locations like Brookside) and we’ve been around since 2017 as part of Thrive Restaurant Group, a family-owned company with over 50 years in business. We’re committed to making a difference in the lives of the people we serve and the communities we call home.

At HomeGrown, you’ll work in a fun, family atmosphere while learning business, leadership, and hospitality—all while being home by 3:30pm every day you work.
