We pay tribute to the rugged individualism of Pensacola’s unique historic cultural significance, specifically its Spanish influence. Real and super-rustic, the kitchen presents Old World cookery at its roots, with all the layers peeled back. Brother Fox utilizes a live-fire approach to cooking almost everything that we serve, from coal-roasted oysters to Carne Asada for two, served with hot tortillas. Our beautiful outdoor seating sets the stage for a casual meet up with friends for a glass of wine from regions near and far, carafes of Bathtub Gin or Sangrias from the bar. Inside, the cuisine and casually elegant design are the embodiment of a “neighborhood” spot that caters to visitors and residents alike, for special occasions, celebrations, and some of the finest wood-fired cuisine in Pensacola. Imagine food with soul, both exciting and traditional, in a breezy setting, right in the heart of Old East Hill. We are open daily for Dinner at 5pm

Jackson’s Steakhouse procures only Midwestern grain-fed beef from the heartland of America. The Proprietor’s Cut and fresh, local seafood are hand-selected and artistically prepared to perfection. Jackson’s great steak cuts stand tall with the superb flavor of wet-aged beef that is like no other thanks to the culinary creations of Executive Chef Irv Miller.

    Made reservations for our 45th anniversary. Requested a table inside, by a window. Had the best table in a quiet area. Our server, Mitchell, was incredible. Friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations were spot on! Lobster fingers, grouper piccata and seared snapper…absolutely delicious! They surprised us with a delicious praline dessert, personalized with anniversary wishes. A perfect evening!

    We love this place, and our New Year brunch did not disappoint. Brother Fox always has a trick up his sleeve. Never fails to surprise and delight. Extra thanks to our server Lauren for making a memorable day.
