Steakhouse
Pensacola
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.

Pensacola
The Grand Marlin Restaurant features an inside main dining area with a shuck to order oyster bar, an exterior North Drop Bar overlooking the beautiful Santa Rosa Sound, and private event rooms. This Pensacola Beach restaurant, with an air of island casualness, serves the highest-quality cuisine, including the freshest local seafood featured on menus designed and printed daily to take advantage of the local bounty. The atmosphere creates a fusion of the Caribbean and the Pensacola Bay Area. Our Chefs have a passion for great-tasting food and particularly love working their culinary magic with fresh Gulf Coast seafood. Beach-goers feel comfortable in shorts and flip-flops on our North Drop patio, or a night out in the Main Dining room. The Grand Marlin has an atmosphere for all occasions and is looking forward to creating an authentic experience between time and tide.
