Jackson's is a restaurant located at 400 South Palafox Street, at the southeast corner of the Zaragoza Street intersection. The restaurant is named for Andrew Jackson and faces onto Plaza Ferdinand VII, where he accepted the transfer of Florida from Spain in 1821.

History

The brick building that houses the restaurant was built in 1880 for Henry Pfeiffer's grocery store.[1] It changed hands many times in subsequent years. After the closing of Peaden's Office Supply in August 2000, the building was purchased by architect Brian Spencer and Dr. Roger Orth. They orchestrated the extensive renovations, which included removing the stucco veneer, adding floor-to-ceiling windows and doors (to "bring Plaza Ferdinand into the restaurant"[1]), and restoring the second floor as two apartments, which they occupied with their families.

The restaurant opened on March 12, 1999.

Hours and information

Jackson's opens at 5:30 Monday through Saturday. A "prelude menu" featuring a discounted table d'hôte selection is available until 6:00.

The phone number is (850) 469-9898.
