Jackson’s Restaurant-Rotisserie-Bar

Friendly service and beautiful interior and atmosphere. So nice, you don’t mind how slow the service is, perfect if you’re looking for a chill chance to catch up with friends, family, or clients. Expensive entrees, but very reasonable lunch specials under $ 10, that are tasty, high quality, well portioned, and freshly prepared. As long as you’re not in a rush, this is one of the best places in the area.

I was staying at the Hilton Garden Inn next door so I ended up eating here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner.
For lunch, I order the cheesesteak, which had good flavor but they put au jus on the bread instead of giving it on the side for dipping so by the time your sandwich gets to you it’s falling apart a bit. My coworker ordered the ham and cheese on pretzel bun. I stole a bite and it was really good and cheesy.
For dinner, I ordered their ribeye special which came with lemony broccolini and a crazy good blue cheese sauce. The sides are different for the special, but they always have a ribeye on the menu and believe me, you should order it. They cook it on their mesquite grill that beautifully charred the meat but left the inside juicy and perfectly medium. A restaurant rarely cooks the steak to the right temp that you ask for, so that was a very pleasant surprise. There wasn’t too much fat in the ribeye either, which was great. It was delicious and made the whole dinner worth it. My coworker ordered the meat sauce pasta and said she loved it! Dinner service was SOOO slow though, so that’s why I’m taking off a point. Oh and their Bloody Mary was really bad and watered down, so if you’re craving one, this isn’t the place for it.

We had lunch here while on our stay at the hotel this week. I tried the A1 Burger, which was delicious and the other guys I was meeting with for work had some other plates that they all mentioned were pretty good.
Although food was great, just be prepared for your clothes to smell very smokey from the grill that is a bit overwhelming in the restaurant. We had lunch there yesterday and the smell from my clothes has carried over into my hotel room overnight. If you’re ok with having to air them out and have a day or so before packing your clothes back into a suitcase to fly, then this is a great choice in the local area to grab a meal.

I am only writing a review based on their lunch special.
We went for the under $ 10 lunch special and everything was really good. I had the Bbq chicken sandwich which was awesome and everyone else seemed to like their sandwiches as well.
We sat out side and everything was clean.
The only thing I could say that they could improve on is wait time. The food came out a little slow but it could be do to a number of different things.

Food was good. Service was terrible. Waiting for our check forever. Actually still waiting

Hit or Miss — great place to sit outside under the awning sometimes… just tried to do that — counted over 13 open tables and was told that they all were reserved! Ok we will sit inside — but after 15 minutes of zero service — we left and on the way out counted 14 open tables under the awning. We live in the neighborhood and luckily several new places have opened in Southpointe.

I am giving 4 stars, because the food is not so great, but the service is. I have been there 3 times and each time was treated like royalty. Now if only the quality of the food was better, I would give 5 stars.

Had a really nice lunch experience today. Was at a meeting at the hotel and only had a half an hour for lunch. Both of the servers on the patio waited on me and were super sweet. Had a large and tasty pannini off the power lunch menu. So big I tool half with me. Included a drink and fries for 8.75. Check came with chocolate cookies.

The food was decent, but not for the price. Had the bill been cut in half I would have few complaints. The calamari was chewy and there were some wilted pieces of lettuce in the salad. The salmon came out bland though moist. I am not generally picky but when we spend $ 200 on dinner for 2 this is just not what I expect.

I went back for a second time. Service wasn’t nearly as good. My ribeye was burnt to hell and back.

I suspect that the majority of the guests who eat at this restaurants are guests from the Hilton Hotel, in which this very establishment is located.
At least that’s why I ate there, and while I don’t necessarily regret choosing this seemingly fancy diner that evening, I don’t plan on coming back in the near or distant future.
The food was fine, and I do feel bad that I squished the tiny bug which ran across my salad plate.
The waiter was nice (unlike another reviewer here I did not have the luck of being served by an attractive waitress) although not terribly speedy when it came to clearing the table or bringing the bill.
At least the dinner was better than the breakfast they offer at the Hilton. Although I didn’t actually bother to try that to be honest.

Like any beer drinker, I expect atleast a few beers on tap. Jackson’s had only 4 to offer. The food is pricey for the quantity. Ordered: —
the calamari appetizer– not great .
The crab cake– just 1 but nice
The pan seared chicken — excellent
The bar is nice, the place has got a good vibe to it and it is crowded — the 2 times that I have been here .the outdoor patio is nice too. Definitely worth it if you are staying at the Hilton Garden Inn!

Like probably most of the patrons in here on a Monday night, I was staying at the Hilton next door. I got to the hotel at 8pm after flying all day and then driving from the airport so I didn’t really feel like venturing out into an unfamiliar area for dinner. I sat at the bar, which had a couple TV’s on.
I was quickly greeted by a rather attractive bartender who welcomed me and took my drink order. When she returned with my glass of house Pinot Noir, she asked if I needed a dinner menu. A minute or two later she brought me a dinner menu and told me about the specials. The Pinot wasn’t the best glass of wine, but decent enough. A few minutes later after I closed my menu, another bartender (a far less attractive male) stopped by to see if I wanted to order or just hang out for a while. I really appreciate service that’s attentive like this without being pushy.
I was hungry so I ordered, but he probably would have been cool if I’d sat there all night sipping my wine. And I suppose I can’t fault the guy for not being the attractive young lady who’d originally been serving me ;) I started with the Shrimp & Chorizo Chowder which was excellent. I’d put it on the «must have» list for anybody dining here. I had one of the specials, the blackened monk fish, as my entrée. It was also quite good, but perhaps slightly underdone in the center. I’m talking just barely though and it was a thick piece of fish. The roasted garbanzo beans and potato purée were excellent as well and complimented the seasoning on the fish quite well. They also brought me a basket of bread which was probably overkill but both varieties I tried where a nice compliment to the chowder.
I had a second glass of wine, this time a Cab. The bartender commented that the Pinot wasn’t his favorite either as he brought me the second glass. All in all, for what I was wanting that evening it was just about perfect; just on the edge of getting 5 starts from me in fact, which I never do. I don’t know when I’ll be back in the area and I’m usually not one to stay in the hotel for dinner, but Jackson’s just might tempt me to do so next time. Even if I don’t get the pretty bartender next time.

My wife and I enjoyed a Valentine’s meal here. We were seated promptly in a somewhat drafty area of the dining room.
On the whole the food was good. In particular the scallop appetizer was particularly appealing. Shrimp and chorizo soup and tomato bisque were both flavorful. The entrees were a small letdown. My wife tried monkfish for the first time and was not impressed, more by the fish than the preparation. My beef tips were tender but not overly flavorful.
We agreed we would like to return. The prices were a little high, but overall we were happy. The next visit I will likely limit myself to an appetizer/​soup OR an entrée. Not only will that be more healthy it will be a bit less expensive too.

This is one of those places you just have to be prepared to drop a couple extra duckies. I mean c’mon. As long as you’re going to do it … just do it right. I was actually within walking distance from my work to Jackson’s at one point, until we moved.
It’s a very solid restaurant with a good menu, great service, and decent atmosphere. Yea, it’s not 5 star but it’s pretty close. As least everytime I’ve been there.
Even though I don’t work close anymore, I still like to venture up to ol Jackson’s once in awhile …
You should do the same!

Food was not fresh. Ate here with several people and we were stuck with stomach ache for the rest of the evening.
Oh, and why is it always so freezing cold here?!

good for hotel food

Jackson’s seems to be one of the few places for lunch in the Southpointe area, so we ventured out for a lunch meeting with new clients.
The service was fine, but the food was not as spectacular as i had hoped. I had the crab cake salad, and it was good, but not outstanding. Maybe I expected too much. I have eaten at the Jackson’s in Moon and perceived the food was better, but that was some time ago and maybe I am wrong.
The prices are a bit high, but prices have gone up everywhere.
I’ll try it again and hope to be able to increase the rating next time around.

As a Houston native, this place is not bad for rural Pittsburgh. Place has great ambiance, great service, and good food. I had the salmon which was light and extremely tasty. I also had some flatbread as an appetizer which was pretty good.
The bar is pretty nice too. Lots of screen for watching the games. Go Texans!

A colleague and I had the tasting menu. Comfortably priced menu. Good portions. Good tasting food. The chef has a garden out back where he grows his on vegetables and herbs. Waiter was appropriately attentive and made valuable suggestions. Not the best I’ve eaten but good for a hotel restaurant.
