    French onion soup
    Antoinette S.

    We were visiting Pensacola n stopped on New Year's Day for dinner. In the heart of Pensacola across a park. There's street parking n a garage nearby. Nice Modern homely restaurant. Lovely decorated. Friendly welcoming staff. Pricey restaurant. The menu had so many good items. Was a tough choice what to pick, We settled on the blue crab beignets, Cesar salad, French onion soup n gulf coast seafood chowder. When I think of beignets always think of the sweet ones. This was different n delicious . One of a kind. The seafood chowder was good too n so were the French onion soup n Cesar salad. For entrees we picked the long stemmed artichoke, crab cakes, petit filet n open fired gulf grouper. The artichoke was different had sautéed onions n was ok. The crab cakes were tasted so good. The grouper was delicious n v flavorful. The filet v moist n tender n tasted good. We ended our meal w some deserts - chocolate mousse that melts in your mouth , bread pudding w whiskey sauce was sooo good n a different phyllo purse that tasted so good -one of a kind. Thank u for a great meal to start the new year 2026.

    We're here in our hometown twice a year and always enjoy a Friday lunch at Jackson's. We love this restaurant for its "old" (not Driftwood, etc. old but recent old, LOL) Pensacola fine dining ambiance here in the heart of downtown. The venue also reminds us of New Orleans with its French windows offering views of bustling Palafox Street on the west side and live oak shaded Plaza Ferdinand just across Zaragoza Street to north. While the kitchen's offerings are not five star in our estimation the food is quite good and enjoyable. The menu is well rounded and interesting, even at this once a week lunch service. Jackson's offers a very nice wine menu and cocktails are always perfectly and generously poured. At lunch, the first Martini is on the house and subsequent Martinis are $10! What's not to love about that?! The service here has never disappointed and today was no exception. Our server, Sophia, was so pleasant, gracious, helpful, and perfectly attentive through-out our meal. She paced the service perfectly. We started with a shared Fried Green Tomato and Jumbo Lump Crab Salad with Bill-E's Smoked bacon, artisanal greens, herb-roasted mushrooms, goat cheese, jumbo lump crab, and a shallot-champagne vinaigrette. This was outstanding! (See pic). A definite do again. However, we did not ask for it be plated separately but the kitchen did and we were nicked for a separate plate charge of $5. For a salad! It would have been good to have been informed of this charge in advance. Anne had the fire grilled grouper and I ordered the French Dip. The grouper was not over cooked but still the flesh was quite dry and the fish did not taste fresh. The French dip was good but not great. Would have enjoyed a much heartier and robust au jus. The skin-on french fries were not at all crisp. Pretty, meh. But we''ll be back Lord willin' and the creek don't rise on a Friday next May or so.

    I really wanted to like this place, but I've been twice now about a year apart and both times the food and service has just not been good. Ordered scallops the first time which were just not good. Probably the saltiest scallops I've ever eaten. I ate about half of one and had to stop. The duck my friend ordered was cold. And I don't just mean it wasn't warm, I mean cold like it just came out of the refrigerator. The second time I got French onion soup. The soup and onions were good, but the bread was soggy which was less than ideal. I ordered the old fashioned steak. The Mac and cheese was okay. There was no bacon in it. It just tasted like bacon was used to make the rue, interesting. The fried green tomato had no flavor it desperately needed salt. The crab tasted like it came from a can and the steak was inedible. I told the waitress the steak was not good while she was at the bar and not to make a big deal of it because I was not going to finish it. She later came to the table and asked if I wanted the steak to go... it was quite awkward because the steak was awful. I didn't want the steak taken off the bill or anything like that, just didn't like it and didn't want it to be a big deal. I'm unimpressed by the service I received both times and it's frustrating to be the only person I know who's had an experience like this on two separate occasions. I will absolutely not be back. I'm really not seeing the appeal with this place. It's dimly lit like it's perfect for an anniversary or celebration, but you'll just leave disappointed and wanting to pick up McDonalds on the way home.

    Great Southern Restaurant Group's restaurant week began on January 26 and features 3-course dinners for $33 at its five sister restaurants (Jackson's, Angelena's , Atlas, The Fish House and 5 Sisters). This my favorite annual event. Last night was dinner at Jackson's with a group of friends. You'd think that there would be a reduction in food and quality because of the reduced price, but Jackson's never disappoints. There was a choice of three items per course and we all chose different items. I chose the spinach salad (a little heavy on the dressing that I should have asked for on the side), the catch (swordfish), and the bourbon bread pudding. Shrimp and beef were the other entree options that everyone who ordered it enjoyed. My only criticism is that our server was a bit grouchy and unfriendly. I understand that it can be difficult to serve a table of 8, but a 20% gratuity was automatically added to the bill so I am not excusing her attitude. (Yes, I know I could have reduced the tip, but I chose not to.). Four stars out of 5 because I don't think our service was up to Jackson's standards. I recognize that Jackson's is a bit pricey for a lot of folks, but this week is a perfect time to enjoy their menu

    The steak had nice crisp edges and still flavorful. Tried to not full up on the bread and butter, but it is delicious. Butter is creamy and has good texture. The wait staff are super friendly and attentive, the food came out fast. An elegant setting, perfect for a nice dinner night out. Even though a bit pricey, but well worth the price for the experience.

    Tournedos Americana. I remember when you used to get three for the same price. But still delicious.

    Another great visit to Jacksons Steakhouse. We celebrated Mother's Day and had a fantastic meal there were plenty of leftovers. As always, the servers were fantastic along with the hospitality staff.

    Our experience at Jackson's Steakhouse in Pensacola was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. The food, cocktails, atmosphere, and service were all truly top tier. We started with cocktails, and the Spring Blossom was especially delightful -- perfectly balanced, refreshing, and beautifully presented. Every dish throughout the evening was outstanding. The filet was cooked to perfection, incredibly tender and flavorful, and the scallops were some of the best we've had anywhere. The scalloped potatoes and Brussels sprouts were the perfect accompaniments, rich, flavorful, and expertly prepared. We finished with the crème brûlée and bread pudding, and both desserts were exceptional. What truly elevated the night into something unforgettable, though, was our waiter, Thomas. His knowledge of the menu and wine selection was remarkable, but even more impressive was the way he presented everything with such theatrical detail and enthusiasm. It honestly felt like gastronomy theater -- something we've never experienced before. He didn't just describe the dishes; he brought them to life in a way that made the entire dinner feel immersive and exciting. Thomas made an already amazing dining experience 10x better. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it completely transformed the evening into something special. Jackson's delivered one of the best dining experiences we've had in a very long time, and we cannot wait to return!

    My boyfriend and I love Tuesdays prime rib special and Kyla the bartender made our experience phenomenal. She's so sweet, vibrant, and made sure to check on us with everything we got. We love the atmosphere, service, and food! Everything was great!

And I'm declaring right now the lovely patio area to be one of the most, if not the most, delightful al fresco dining venues in Pensacola. And right now in early May, the patio is graced with the lovely fragrance of the blooming jasmine vines that adorn the trellises of the patio. Though most of the wines on EHWB's list are unfamiliar to me our lovely, efficient, and attentive server, Nadia, was quite knowledgeable and able to steer us to exactly what we were looking for to accompany the Muffuletta we had our sights on. The list consists of a nice variety of moderately priced wines. And at lunch, there are several wines offered at half off per glass. As we're old timers we shared a half Muffuletta. We could have shared a quarter. LOL. It is large. It is served on a bun that looks like a Gambino's, and may be. The bun seemed rather dry to us, not perfectly fresh, but nonetheless the sandwich was quite good. Loaded with all the traditional ingredients and very enjoyable. Would definitely do again, though for next week we've got the Cuban Press locked in on our radar screen. There are several things on the dinner menu here that are calling out to us so we very well work an evening visit in while here. I'm saying this store is going to a winner and a mighty fine replacement and more here in East Hill for City Grocery.

I was seated in the middle of the bar with customers on both sides of me. My server took my drink and food order, and after that, she never returned to check on me. I watched her walk past me several times while attending to the customers directly to my left and right. Not once did she ask how my food was, whether I needed another drink, a box, or my check. Eventually, another server noticed my frustration and asked if I needed anything. I told him I needed a box and my check and explained that my server had never returned to check on me. His response was, "We are all working the bar." That response was unnecessary and dismissive. If everyone was working the bar, it makes it even more confusing that I sat there for so long without anyone checking on me. A simple, "I'm sorry about that. Let me take care of you," would have been the appropriate response. I understand restaurants get busy, and I don't expect perfection. However, basic attentiveness and customer service should be expected, especially when a customer is sitting directly at the bar. Unfortunately, this experience was very disappointing.
