We used to use Jacksons a fair bit until it changed owners. On our first (and only!) visit since the new ownership, We decided to give it a try as they were advertising a special offer. Three courses + wine at €50 for two people. On entering we stood waiting in the bar area for over ten minutes whilst two... More

I can't fault one thing with this restaurant, we ate here last weekend and from start to finish we were very satisfied. The staff were so helpful throughout the meal. The food was to die for and the portions were massive and prices were very reasonable. It's still one of my favourites. Will be back - and looking forward to... More

We ate here on Sat 29th October... We ate from the specials menu of 3 courses plus bottle of house wine for €50 for two.... We chose a different bottle of wine & this was no problem - we just paid the difference... We both had one of the nicest pieces of steak either of us have eaten in a... More

I visited Jacksons last night with my husband and friends. In my last review I swore I would never go to Jacksons again but since then the restaurant has been taken over by new owners and a new chef so we said we would give it another chance. To be fair, the starter and dessert were nice. I ordered fillet... More

Having eaten at Jacksons on several occasions since it opened over 3 years ago the meal my friends and I had the other night was without an doubt discussing!! We were informed it was turned into a Italian restaurant but all the dishes we had were extremely tasteless and bland no flavour or seasoning at all. When we complained to... More

I've been to this restaurant on quite a number of occasions and I have to admit it is one of my favourite restaurants. The staff are so helpful and just can't do enough for you. The food is just delicious and menu has a great variety to suit everyone. Although it can sometimes be a little bit pricey, the quality... More

When Jacksons first opened the menu was excellent as was the quality food. It just seems to have gone more and more downhill evey time they change their menu. The quality of food is just simply not good enough anymore. We went there the other night - I ordered the duck and I was asked how I would like it... More

Hi Michael here, We do and always have cared about our customers which is why I and all my staff always ask how each dish was for everyone and if there is a problem that is where it can be sorted. I am pretty sure that I took the order on your table and checked back with you but I... More

Having eaten in Jacksons on several occasions, I am looking forward to my return to Roscommon so I may dine here again. Very broad menu which caters for everyone, friendly, helpful, efficient staff. The food comes out without delay and to an extremely high standard, I wonder why this restaurant is not featuring in every food magazine available in Ireland.... More
