Jackson's Old Chatham House - American restaurant in Old Chatham - 646 Albany Turnpike, USA

I dug this place a lot. Halfway between me and a friend, perfect spot for a few quick beers, a satisfying burger, and late game football. The roaring wood stove, low beamed ceiling, and friendly staff made this a relaxing, unpretentious visit. You could tell from several large multigenerational parties this is a well-loved spot.

First time there. The food was great. Good menu. Atmosphere.... was cozy. Service.... lacking that time, but I'm hoping it'll be better next time. Because I will definitely go back again for the food alone.

Lobster bisque was terrific! Buffalo chicken tenders were average and never came with a sauce. French fries were fresh cut and plentiful but came with a ridiculously small cup of ketchup. We asked for a side of bleu cheese....it is home made and the best I have ever had. Service was very slow (we were the first and only customers at the time) but friendly.

Everything was top notch from the waitstaff down to the rustic, cozy atmosphere. I, cleaned my plate 😁 How is it possible for everything to taste good? But, it was! Hats off to the chef ,fantastic job! I highly recommend if you’re a seafood lover, flo’s seafood platter. My boyfriend had the pork osso bucco and that was also good. Let’s not forget the appetizer French onion is the best we ever had. Five stars.

Had the butternut squash soup, butternut ravioli and the stuff sole. All was delicious.

I have attached some pictures I took during our visit! Jackson's is solid. I don't think you can go wrong with any selection on the whole menu to be honest. I went here with my wife out here on a motorcycle ride. We ordered stuffed mushrooms and the broiled scallops as an appetizer, and both excellent. She got the prime rib (big cut), she said it was up there with some of the best she's had, and we are well traveled. I'm going to have to agree with the other review, it's in my top 3 I think. I opted for the Chicken Cordon Bleu. Aces. Home run. The service was A+. Outside seating and ambience A+. This is marked on Google maps as one of my favorites . I do also have to mention that they have local craft beer on tap....and it is sublime. I think they had 4 or 5 on deck. I would go here just for beer and snacks, and also for a romantic dinner or a small event. Looking forward to coming back !

I live in Rochester New York, about 4 1/2 hours away and was in Old Chatham. I heard about this place that was in walking distance from where I was staying. This is exactly what I was looking for.. so glad I checked it out.I love stuff like this!!!.. very nice.. rustic, quaint, simple, good service, clean, good beer on tap, and good food.. I only wish you all were closer to me. I MOST DEFINITELY WILL BE BACK!

Just a lovely spot to dine. We drive quite far to go here for dinner but have returned twice after our first visit. Quaint, cozey atmosphere. Wonderfully staffed with plenty of friendly faces. The food is tasty, quality, and always satisfies.
