Best Lunch Restaurants in Perdido Key

It was another perfect night at Jackson’s in Pensacola! My husband and I had an early Valentine’s dinner and were lucky to get Matt, who was full of natural energy and so helpful, as our server. We had delicious steaks, mashed potatoes and shared a Caesar salad, but my favorite was the bread and butter and the dessert—I can’t remember the name, but it had toffee and Chantilly cream—but it was truly heavenly—thanks to Matt’s recommendation! Jackson’s is one of our favorites, and you must try if you are in Pensacola.

One of our favorite restaurants in Pensacola to dine. This evening did not disappoint. We were seated at a bar high top as requested. Server was quick to take our drink order. Excellent Woodford old fashion and very entertaining to watch the amazing mixologists prepare drinks. Korean wing appetizer is delicious but a bit messy. Hangar steak was yummy as were the scallops either risotto. Short rib was also a winning entree. Portions are generous and sides are always very tasty!!

Came here on a whim and really enjoyed. Happy Hour has $1 raw oysters, so I made sure to get a dozen. Also ordered a dozen of Rockefeller and a dozen and a half of the garlic parm ones too. Quite the treat. Will be back.

I made a reservation for 2 at 5pm a while ago. We arrived at 4:45 pm. When I checked in at the hostess stand I was told my name was on a waiting list as they don't take reservations but here I am making comments to my Open Table reservation that they don't take. A bit strange to say the least. First time I have heard from an Open Table vendor that they don't take reservations when I clearly made one. The meal was great and appreciated the Fish House being open on Christmas.

This is my second visit. I enjoy the location and food. Our server was great - he helped us with substitutions. In addition he gave us the history of the building and area. I was a bit disappointed that the fried green tomatoes had too much breading - I'm used to panko and delicate. The onion rings were super. We were sorry to be too full for dessert.
