Jackson's Old Chatham House

Quaint. Food is decent. Bathrooms are clean. Service is excellent. For a middle of nowhere place it was pleasantly surprising.

Passing through Old Chatham while in the area for a wedding, we decided to go exploring. Upon arriving in the tiny super historic town square of Old Chatham, we were drawn to Jackson's.

For being outsiders, we felt very welcomed. The place is very darkly lit, with rustic features and shotguns hanging above the bar.

The menu is simple and predictable pub food. I was recommended the Jackson's burger which was hardy and quite filling. The fries were a bit over cooked, but the cheese sticks my wife and I shared were enjoyable.

By all means, the food was not mind-blowing, but the atmosphere and friendly down home service made it an enjoyable experience. If we were in town longer, I would love to grab a few beers with the locals.

Delicious New York sirloin steak with grilled mushrooms and onions... homemade blue cheese dressing for the salad. This place is warm and close, the way I like it, with wood floors and a brick fireplace. Candles on the tables. There is a warm basket of bread served with butter for the table.
