'''Jackson's''' is a restaurant located at 400 South [[Palafox Street]], at the southeast corner of the [[Zaragoza Street]] intersection. The restaurant is named for [[Andrew Jackson]] and faces onto [[Plaza Ferdinand VII]], where he accepted the transfer of Florida from Spain in [[1821]].

==History==
The brick building that houses the restaurant was built in [[1880]] for [[Henry Pfeiffer]]'s grocery store.<ref name="pfeiffer">[http://www.jacksonsrestaurant.com/index.cfm?id=42569&fuseaction=browse&pageid=31 The Pfeiffer Building's New Face.] ''Florida Sun'', August 11, 2000.</ref> It changed hands many times in subsequent years. After the closing of [[Peaden's Office Supply]] in August [[2000]], the building was purchased by architect [[Brian Spencer]] and Dr. [[Roger Orth]]. They orchestrated the extensive renovations, which included removing the stucco veneer, adding floor-to-ceiling windows and doors (to "bring Plaza Ferdinand into the restaurant"<ref name="pfeiffer"/>), and restoring the second floor as two apartments, which they occupied with their families.

The restaurant opened on [[March 12]], [[1999]].

==Hours and information==
Jackson's opens at 5:30 Monday through Saturday. A "prelude menu" featuring a discounted ''[[Wikipedia:Table d'hôte|table d'hôte]]'' selection is available until 6:00.

The phone number is (850) 469-9898.
