Always good for fun & innovative cocktails. Burgers are always good, their Mac & Cheese is rich, and extremely delicious. Lamb Stuffed Flatbread is a good go-to and one we order often (comes with a nice salad!) Their version of beignets is unique (they are lang and shaped more like breadsticks) and come with 3 different dipping sauces (skip the chocolate & just get the vanilla & raspberry). Delicious! My only complaint is that they used to have THE BEST grilled FISH tacos in town--and sadly they have replaced them with an overly garlicky (or overly oniony--one of the two) Grilled Prawn Tacos. Granted, these are good. But whatever they've seasoned them with is over-the-top on the garlic and/or onion, enough to cause indigestion for days. Just bring back your fish tacos, or add it back to the menu and offer both fish tacos and prawn tacos. But to have taken that fish taco off the menu was a sad day indeed.

Great service, tasty cocktails, and menu to wistfully play through a few courses shared that brought delight and satisfaction...burrata aw/ honey and pistschios accompanied by wood fired bread followed by brothy missells and them brick oven chicken with fingerlings and capers roasted with whole cloves of garlic....mmm hmm!

What a pleasant surprise it was to find and discover this exciting new restaurant in town! Never been here before, a friend recommended it and we tried it are very pleased , quick and friendly service despite the busy hour (6:10) pm. Great tasting food. We'll return for sure. Highly recommended

Food is always very tasty with something for everyone. Service is also always very attentive. Their bar also makes the best lemon drop I have ever had! In our opinion the best place to eat in Santa Rosa. It is noisy but people are friendly & to get this level of food & service, we deal with the noise.

My order was for a New York steak, cooked medium. Served rare and was sent back. Returned medium rare and it was so tough I could hardly stick a fork in it. Ambiance best suited for a cafe. Don''t know how they get such a good rating.

Had the truffle fries, housemade sausage pizza w/arugula, skillet garlic rolls and rootbeer caramel cheesecake. For a cocktail i had a "French 75" with vodka not gin...My gawd!!! Everything was sooooooo deelish!! California wood fired comfort food at its finest. Had a great time with the bestie. Thank you Jackson's, you NEVER disappoint. Quality food, service and atmosphere. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We dined at Jackson Oven & Bar during Restaurant Week. 3 at our table ordered the special, a 3 course meal consisting of an enormous salad, a huge dish of absolutely delicious beef stroganoff, followed by carrot cake in a jar. All for only $35. We hope the restaurant will put this beef stroganoff on the menu soon as it was truly wonderful.

We've had several really good meals here. The service is excellent, staff friendly and food choices are many. I prefer a small plate and my husband a large one so this way we are both happy. Great, fresh, well prepared dishes and yummy cocktails.

We had a really nice time. The food came out in a timely manor and everything was cooked to perfection. Kim/Kimberly gave us great service, we never went without anything we needed. The bussers were on top of clearing plates and keeping our table clean as needed. Manager Laree was seen actively helping out.

My overall rating would have been higher if we had been at a decent table. The location where we were seated should not even have a table. It was horrible--at the foot of the stairs and next to the bathroom and kitchen. It was super-loud and disruptive. The food was very good, as was the service. We had the garlic bread in a cast iron pan, wedge salad, crab rolls, grilled prawn tacos, and beignets. All were delicious. The wait staff was excellent and courteous. Will definitely return but will never again let the host staff sit us at the worst table in the restaurant.
Jackson's always knocks it out of the park for us. Amazing food, creative cocktails, fabulous service and something for everyone. Its definitely become my favorite Santa Rosa spot.

We could not have been treated better and the food was amazing. Jacksons will be one of our new go places. Next time however we will try to get a table away from the bar and in the other room. Great servers though.

My daughter and I made a long drive to find good burgers so she could practice driving for her upcoming test! We went by OpenTable reviews alone to pick a place. We enjoyed Jackson's, however, there were a few things they could improve upon. As a disabled person, I was surprised they seated us upstairs without considering how hard it is for me to walk. Nor was I asked if I minded being seated upstairs. I would have much rather preferred sitting downstairs. The noise level upstairs was outrageous. We were yelling at each other to have any sort of conversation. Our server was wonderful and very friendly. It was our birthday as well and she generously brought ice cream on the house even though I said I didn't want dessert. So it was wasted in the end since my daughter didn't want 3 scoops of ice cream. The food was good but I ordered a med-rare to rare burger and it was more like medium. It was so big and juicy that the bun was too soaked to pick up or hold to take a bite so I used a fork and knife. How civilized of me, right? It was an expensive burger. $19 without any toppings and $2/per addition so with cheese and onions it was $23. What happened to a really good burger for less than $12??? I would have asked for other toppings but it was just too much. Our table was very small so things kept falling off the table. Overall we were glad we came but not sure we will return unless we happen to be in your county.

I love Jacksons, the food and service is consistently excellent. Seeing as I work at the Hyatt Regency I will always bring my clients to Jacksons for a business lunch or dinner. Thank you for taking such good care of me and my clients!

A lovely experience with excellent service and delicious food. The roasted warm calamari salad was outstanding— and very nice of kitchen to divide for us since we shared. Highly recommend!
