    We had reservations at 11:45 for lunch. After being seated it took 15 minutes before someone came to take our drink order. We placed an appetizer order at that time but didn’t receive the appetizer until 45 minutes later. Then finally received our food about 10 minutes later. My husbands grouper had bones all in it. Not worth the price!

    We sat outside and the music was blasting and there were bees everywhere, which wasn't great, but in general it's hard to beat eating by the water. Wish they had considered putting up the plastic window panels as well.

    Jackson’s is a great way to show off temper and the channel side area to your out-of-town friends. If you still live here in, I’ve never been you’re missing out.

    The food is good but the service was Spectacular. 5 stars to Yaneika who was on point all night. She turned a good evening into a great one. Yaneika never let a glass go empty and quietly stopped by regularly to check on us. Simply flawless and made our entire evening. Thanks you so much! The food was delicious (appetizer grouper bites) and the desert (great carrot cake) were spot on!
