About 1857 Jackson House

1857 Jackson House offers an upscale dining experience in downtown Dover. The charming atmosphere, efficient service, and exceptional food make it an ideal spot for romantic dinners, dates, or gatherings with friends. The chef's menu features daily specials and unique flavor profiles. Standout dishes include the Chili and Lime smoked wings, and the expertly crafted Old Fashion cocktail with Angel's Envy Bourbon. The restaurant has recently introduced a New Orleans themed brunch menu, featuring items from po-boys to shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles, and huge bison ribeyes. Exotic dishes like a New Orleans classic turtle soup and fried frog legs are also available. Duck fat fries and the best French toast have received high praise from guests. With well-crafted and affordable drinks, including a fantastic espresso martini, this restaurant is perfect for a pre-show dinner or a special occasion. Reservations are recommended, and attentive staff are eager to help navigate the menu. Sadly, Sunday marked the last day of the Jackson House in Dover, but the restaurant is relocating to Middletown, where many look forward to enjoying their favorite dishes once again.
