Jackson's Steakhouse

Jackson’s—Rich in History
Upon entering Jackson’s Steakhouse in Historic Downtown Pensacola, guests are transported back to 1821, when Governor Andrew Jackson accepted the transfer of Florida from Spain in Plaza Ferdinand—just a few steps away from the restaurant’s front door.

The President’s Room, our main dining room, showcases New York artist Joe Radoccia’s mural—a mirrored reflection of the plaza as seen from the perspective of the bronze bust of our seventh President overlooking the park.

From the inverted hickory-branch wrought iron chandeliers by New Orleans French Quarter’s Master Blacksmith, Thor Thorsen, to the cypress plank and burlap walls in the private dining room—The Governor’s Room—the designers’ commitment to historic preservation and attention to detail are visually evident from entry to departure. The exterior signage displays the restaurant’s logo, a re-creation of Jackson’s signature.

Originally built in the 1860s as a warehouse for incoming goods from the Port of Pensacola, the downtown address has been home to a host of memorable occupants prior to Jackson’s. Among them, H. Pfeiffer and Company Mercantile and Peaden’s Office Supply occupied the Palafox Street landmark.

Since 2001, Jackson’s has been awarded seven consecutive Golden Spoon Awards, recognizing the steakhouse as one of the top 25 restaurants in Florida. The Wine Spectator magazine has chosen Jackson’s wine list as one of the top fine-dining lists in America by presenting the restaurant with the Award of Excellence every year since 2000. In addition, Jackson’s received the coveted DiRoNA (Distinguished Restaurants of North America) Award of Excellence in 2007.

Co-owner Chef Irv Miller features only the finest cuts of Midwestern grain-fed beef and the freshest Gulf Coast seafood available. He and operating partner, co-owner Barry Phillips, and fellow owners Collier, Will, and Burney Merrill are committed to providing guests with the very finest dining experience, featuring superb steaks, seafood, and Southern charm. The Merrill brothers are also the owners of the Great Southern Restaurant Group, operating the award-winning Fish House, Atlas Oyster House, and the Deck.
