Great portions! Visited after being reccomended this restaurant by the Sonoma Hyatt hotel and was very surprised by the large portions. The waiter also said that the meal can divided for two people before it is taken to the table. Everything was delicious, fries were really good too! If will be in the area, will be back as the menu had lots of good sounding choices. read more

Service was spectacular and the ambience was really nice. Skillet prawns were fire the Caesar salad was on point. Pizza though... big miss. Super soggy--like the oven wasn't hot enough or something's off. Not just ours either, the table next to us had the same issue. Overall, great experience, just don't go for the pizza. read more

I realize I have not been to Jackson's in quite some time and after a little hike, ww were ready for a cocktail and a bite. The ambience is super nice with tasteful decor and a good vibe. Both the server and the hostess were incredibly friendly and efficient. My friend and I both enjoyed a fabulous cocktail that was super refreshing. The beet citrus salad was spot on. I don't think I've ever had one quite so good. The downfall was the gluten-free pizza unfortunately. The crust just wasn't very good. It's unfortunate that places charge extra to have a gluten-free crust. I'd come back for the beet salad and cocktail anytime, but I'll pass on the pizza. read more

Met up with dear friends Joe and Roanna. We were seated upstairs which was nice cause I could hear across the table. I ordered the New York steak, medium rare, Roanna and Katie had steak sandwiches, Joe enjoyed a margherita pizza. Everyone enjoyed their selections. Food was properly cooked and artfully plated. Joe selected a wonderful red wine - Carlisle Zinfandel - that paired very nicely with my steak. We delighted in the JACKSON'S BEIGNETS for dessert. I had a beautifully crafted cappuccino. read more

Great go-to spot for a mid day bite/drink. The quality of food and drinks are consistent that it keeps me coming back for more! Favorites are Espresso Martini or Spicy Marg + Burrata. Bar seats are the best (IMO) but don't be surprised when you can't find a seat, cause it is a happening place to be. Not a sports bar but you'll have a good time. read more

It was a dark rainy Sunday....we were able to get a table right away. We even got a parking spot not too far. The server was friendly, patient and helpful. The inside was comfortable and not too loud. We ordered cocktails, mussels, and the brick chicken w/ orecchiette. The cocktail went down easily. The mussels were perfectly cooked, and their chorizo sausage was meaty and flavorful. The thin sliced fennel added a nice depth to the sauce. They grill their bread so it was a perfect way to soak it up. I was really looking forward to the orecchiette, but it was my least favorite of the three items. It wasn't bad, but a $38 chicken pasta should be much more than we received. The chicken was not juicy, but the skin was crispy. The orecchiette with garlic cream sauce was less than amazing. read more

We decided to give Jackson's another try before heading back home from our vacation. Their garlic skillet bread was an absolute favorite so this time around we ordered 2 plates of it. It's amazing! We also ordered their chicken wings and truffle fries. The fries come with ketchup and a lemon aioli (which was really good). Their wings come with zesty buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing. This blue cheese was unlike others that I've tried before. It had almost a smokey flavor to it, but it was delicious nonetheless. We had an absolute blast. We loved the playlist that they were playing also! Our waitress was very nice as well. I ordered a virgin margarita and didn't like it so she took it off the bill, saying that she's never make someone pay for something that they didn't like. read more

First off the food here is very well prepared and tasty. Proper seasoning with a creative take yet sticking to the basics. The fried items are crisp. The steak juicy and flavorful. All the aromas are lovely as well. These elements might be basic but so many restaurants fail at them. Jackson's deserves all the kudos. The drink program is quite good as well. Let's talk about the service. Top notch! Service you would experience at a Michelin Star Restaurant. Fabulous. The little things like wiping the table between courses. Super attentive and caring. All stars! I highly recommend this spot. If you are staying near downtown Santa Rosa it's a short walk from pretty much anywhere within the city. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

Great spot for happy hour, dinner, or after dinner. Great staff, and a chill bar scene. Not fine dining, but good enough for a weekday Wood fired pizza is good, but they have some hefty other plates. Try the mussels, desserts, and dont forget the wings - they have a great take on this classic dish! read more

Jackson's Bar and Oven - Mussels were a treat. Watch the closed ones though - we got at least 6 questionable ones. - Comfort Food Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I've dined at Jackson's twice now, one in the restaurant and once as takeout. The burrata appetizer will have you dreaming about it for weeks - it is life changing! Creamy burrata cheese drizzled with honey, covered in salty pistachios, enjoyed on perfectly salted pizza bread. Epic! The skillet prawns are perfectly done and just the right amount of food. I enjoyed both of these dishes on both visits - maybe some day I will venture into other choices but why mess with perfection!? read more

Jackson's is a must for a nice date with your beloved or a get together with friends for happy hour. The restaurant has comfortable seating at the bar or tables. The drink menu has plenty of options to choose from. I recently tried the seasonal Moscow Mule and it was exquisite! The burrata appetizer is melt in your mouth delicious with a savory and sweet touch. The wood fire pizza was very flavorful and fresh. Service staff were attentive, greeted us right when we arrived, and checked in with us often to ensure everything was as expected. Overall a pleasant experience and would recommend to others. read more

This is in the regular rotation for years. Solid, tasty, consistent. Staff is always great, kitchen is quick, bar makes very good drinks. Hard to go wrong picking this restaurant. They should vary the menu more often for the regulars and the volo pie shouldn't be seasonal. They do a nice affogato. Order it. read more

Stopped by Saturday night for an early dinner and a cocktail. It's a lively place with nice atmosphere. We were close to the 2 bar tvs so hubby could watch if he wanted. Food was tasty - I had oysters (4 for $16) . Child has a cheese pizza that swore was better than our usual place (mostly because of the crust) and they also gave her a cute kids snack fo free that included carrots, celery, grapes, cheese, and peanut butter. Husband had fried chicken that he couldn't stop raving about. The buffalo sauce was good and had a hint of spicy. Good wine selection too. Only complaint is that everything is so expensive in this economy. All in all, a nice holiday Saturday. read more

Great experience today. The team was so amazing and personable and this only addd to the solid culinary experience. Listen, the food would have been a 4 but experience is everything, thus the 5 stars. We came for a late lunch and were interested in so many things: the Mussels, wood fired greens, wood fired prawns, chicken Marsala and the Mac and cheese. So of course, we got them all. We were STUFFED by the end. Excellent meal. The winners by far were the wood fired greens and mussels. read more

My mom & I were exploring the old railroad square and stumbled upon this place doing so. I'm so happy we did! We came on a week day late afternoon/ early evening and there were some people, but not too crowded. We sat at the bar and had a drink & ordered a pizza. The bar tender was super nice & attentive. I got the Painted Lady drink which was good, not too sweet or strong. The wood fired pizza is amazing. I got the house made sausage one and it was incredible. The crust and toppings were just perfect! I would definitely come back here again when in the area! read more

We made reservations on opentable same day. We got the garlic skillet bread and mussels to start. The bottom of the bread was hard, and we couldn't even cut through it. The mussels lacked flavor, and the chorizo tasted like normal sausage. The prosciutto pizza was perfect. The ingredients paired well together. We would constantly have flies near our food, even though the doors were kept closed. It is quite loud in here from everyone talking. The music is barely even heard. The service was good tho. You can see the servers work as a team. Even though they have their own sections, they help each other out. You can tell they're a real family here. read more

We were looking for a local place after some wine tasting, I saw this place on a local restaurant search and some patrons at the winery gave their thumbs up so we decided to try it. We went for a handful of small plates rather than main courses, and this place upheld Sonoma's excellent culinary reputation! The truffle fries were "addictive". Hot and crispy with just the right truffle flavor and a simple but tasty aïoli on the side. The portion was bigger than we expected. The shrimp over crispy rice was solid, the honey ginger sauce had a good amount of spice and tang. The roasted cauliflower was excellent, and again the (harissa) sauce was the highlight. And last but not least, the mac & cheese was excellent. Another large portion. We split some at the restaurant, my wife had some leftovers that night, and I finished it off for breakfast the next morning. The waitresses were friendly and helpful, and the vibe was lively for early evening. I had a solid Zin with dinner and my wife absolutely loved her lemon drop. Will definitely go back again when in the area. read more

Enjoyed an early dinner at this downtown location while staying nearby. Was seated right away in a nice comfortable booth at the back near the kitchen. Cool atmosphere with various seating locations. We were greeted right away by our server and offered drinks and appetizers. We went for the burrata topped With pistachios and honey which was super yummy along with some fresh hot French fries, the beignets, the hummus and oysters. I had a delish manhattan also. For dinner we Ordered the pepperoni pizza and I had an amazing burger. Overall a great experience and the place was hopping when we left. We Will be back for sure. read more

Sat at the bar and we started with a happy hour cocktail and oysters and pepperoni flatbread. The oysters were 2 for $7. We both laughed when they arrived. Each oyster was about an inch long. Although tasty, not worth the HH price. The flatbread, however, was worth the price and very delicious. The crust was soft and chewy and had food flavor. Very good. We had a few more cocktails and the decided to split a NY steak. It was cooked perfectly and the garlic butter sauce was delicious. Really very good. The ladies behind the counter were very professional and knowledgeable and friendly. read more

The food at this restaurant it is really good. We were fortunate enough to sit at a bar area that overseas to kitchen. Where we got to see the food being prepared and cooked. The head chef was nice enough to entertain us by giving us antidotes of the different dishes that were being prepared. This made choosing what we want to eat very challenging. I finally settled on the lamb with mint chutney sauce and it was fabulously delicious. The lamb is cooked his pulled lamb meat is very soft and tender. And comes in wrapped and its own pizza bread. read more

This was my absolute favorite place to go to for their TO-DIE-FOR burgers (with the fries exxxttrrrraa crispy) and MIND-BLOWING wings! The service was always outstanding and everyone was more than accommodating to our family and guests if we were hosting. A few days ago, we finally returned from a hiatus of coming here , and we were sorely disappointed by the quality of Jackson's. First, we noticed that when we walked in, there seemed to be a smell that was almost stale and musty. It seemed almost as if I had walked into Applebees without the overpowering scent of cleaner lingering in the air . Then as we were seated, we were disgusted by the amount of flies and fruit flies/gnats that seemed to pester us at our table. Now I can usually understand when a restaurant has flies during the summer season getting trapped indoors but this seemed as if they probably have a cleaning issue as was noticed by the smell of the place. My sister spent most of the evening trying to swat the bugs away as we ate. When it came to food, the food still tasted amazing as usual, but it felt like quality of simple items were not up to standard. I couldn't even drink my water because the taste of it legitimately tasted moldy or as if it was in a basin that had been sitting for weeks. Even my grandparents caregiver who will only drink water at dinner wherever we go out and drink multiple glasses couldn't get past that first glass or sip. Then the bathroom was another story. I'm not very scent sensitive but I went to go wash my hands but I almost ended up vommiting because of the smell of standing water or something was beyond my threshold. I even noticed they seem to notice they have an issue but instead of fixing it, they try to cover the scent by using plug in scent diffusers which don't seem to be doing the job at all. Overall, the food is really good and the service is always above and beyond, but I think this place needs a good clean and that's coming from someone that used to work in one of the busiest chipotles where we learned how to clean to ensure there wouldn't be flies. read more

Food: hearty portions, fresh and yummy. We started with fresh bbq oysters that were sweet and briny with garlic butter or chorizo lime. Then rolled into shrimp tacos, juicy and cooked to order burgers with kenebec fries, steak sandwich, mushroom pizza and fresh gem salad with grilled chicken and a side of truffle fries. Service: the wait staff were attentive but food was slightly slow on service. Luckily the World Series was on all good. Ambiance: spacious for downtown Santa Rosa. As with all older buildings to make space they have an upstairs dining area for larger parties. If you have folks who can't do stairs; let them know when you make a reservation. Beautiful red and oranges for vibrant colors with iron work decor. Great bar area when you walk in past the hosts. read more

Spent $400 and told couldn't come back in after smoking wow and also told i couldn't be served after one drink

We all had pizzas! The good news?? They specialize in pizzas! I had the pepperoni/sausage. Wifey had arugula basaltic prosciutto. We mixed in a margarita as well. The other was called homemade sausage. All were yummy and went down easy. The service was right on the mark. Also a very cool downtown old school vibe.

Visiting from out of town. Hotel was across the street, convenient. Stopped by for dinner. The restaurant had a fancy feel to it. Nice for dinner dates, outings. I had their special dinner menu for a 3 course meal. Main entree was roasted chicken (can't remember the name of the dish), super juicy. Delicious. Kids ordered pepperoni, mushroom, olives pizza. They enjoyed it. Server was very nice. Try this place out if fancy is your thing! read more

Jackson's is always a good choice when my husband and I can't decide on where to go. We've never had a bad experience. Almost always, we split the Caesar salad, truffle fries, and their sausage pizza. Tonight was no different. We came on a busy Saturday evening without reservations but were pleased to have been seated right away. The restaurant is large with a lot of seating, including an upstairs area and another large area on the opposite side of their bar. We love to be seated near their incredible wood-fired pizza oven- it's such a thing of beauty. I love that their kitchen is open and viewable to everyone. We were greeted kindly by a lovely server we've had numerous times, I really should get her name. Having mentioned that we'd like to share the Caesar, the kitchen kindly split it on to two plates for us. Their Caesar is wonderful- full leaves of romaine, delicious dressing, and tasty seasoned croutons. They brought our truffle fries (and absolute must) shortly after, which come with a lemon aioli and ketchup. These truffle fries are just downright amazing. So many other places advertise "truffle fries" but end up having very little truffle flavor. Not at Jackson's, they have a great amount of truffle flavor and the lemon aioli is so good. Their pizzas are always great- it was because of Jackson's that my husband and I discovered the newest love of our lives: goat horn peppers. Their sausage pizza includes them and after we'd had it several months ago, we were able to locate some for sale at a local grocery store and we've been hooked ever since. Food is always top-notch, service is very friendly and attentive. Cocktails and wine selection are always on point. I'll always recommend this place. read more

hile staying in downtown Santa Rosa, we came here one evening for drinks before having dinner elsewhere. The place was packed around 5:30PM, but we found a couple of seats at the bar. The bartender was helpful and attentive. I noticed they had a nice collection of spirits, including Chartreuse, which is somewhat difficult to find, especially as "regular" bars, as mostly craft cocktail places seem to have it. The drinks we had were very good. If we ever come back, I'd definitely try a pizza, as they have a brick oven. read more

Good place to stop in when you need something to eat in the Railyard district! We had a few small plates that we shared and really enjoyed (the Brussel sprouts, fries, and the burrata). The burrata with hot honey and pistachios was so simple and so delicious; I could have eaten three of these myself! They have a large menu of cocktails, beer, and wine, too. read more

Disappointed with our service at Jackson's tonight, I've been here countless times and have never once experienced the service I received today.
