About the Business

"Jackson's Steakhouse is the cornerstone of Pensacola's restaurant scene. We have set the standard for the ultimate dining experience since we opened in 1999. My approach to maintaining this tradition is deeply rooted in my love of cooking. I use only the freshest local and seasonal ingredients possible, and pair them with Midwestern wet-aged beef that I've selected by hand, and the best game meats available. Our team at Jackson's continually strives to provide an unparalleled food and wine experience for every guest, every night." --Chef Irv Miller

History

Established in 1999.

Jackson's Steakhouse occupies the ground floor of the revitalized 1860s-era building overlooking historic, Plaza Ferdinand--where, in July 1821, General Andrew Jackson accepted the transfer of Florida from Spain to the United States and raised the American flag in Pensacola for the first time. In 1935, to commemorate this historic event, a bust of Jackson was commissioned and placed in Plaza Ferdinand. In 1998, a group of like minded entrepreneurs were inspired to renovate the old building and open a restaurant in honor of this American hero. Over the past decade, Jackson's Steakhouse has earned the Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator eight times. Also, as an eight-time consecutive recipient of Florida Trend magazine's Golden Spoon Award, Jackson's Steakhouse is considered one of Florida's top 25 restaurants and is placed by the Distinguished Restaurants of North America in the top two percent of all fine dining restaurants in the country.
