Jackson 20: An Alexandria Restaurant Celebrating Modern Tradition
Located in the heart of Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, Jackson 20 is at once elegant and casually comfortable, contemporary and rooted in tradition. Our namesake, President Andrew Jackson, was legendary for his hospitable nature - he was the first U.S. president to invite the public to attend the inaugural ball. True to this spirit, Jackson 20 is a convivial and popular gathering place. Here you'll find a welcoming atmosphere and fresh, inspired American regional cuisine.

Jackson 20 is pleased to announce the arrival of Brian McPherson as new executive chef. Chef McPherson joins us after serving as executive sous chef at sister restaurant Poste Moderne Brasserie, and is entrenching himself into the Old Town community, building closer relationships with the Alexandria Farmers' Markets and other local Virginia farmers. Chef McPherson has updated the menu of Southern-inspired comfort food and infused it with his own signature cooking style: "simple food done well." Chef McPherson sources from many local Virginia producers such as Steve Turnage of Weaving Run Farm and Northern Neck Fruits & Vegetables, Polyface Farm, and Bev Eggleston of Eco-Friendly Foods, among others. In the warmer spring months, he plans to create a small chef's garden in the Jackson 20 courtyard. Chef McPherson, a native of Pittsburgh, is a graduate of the Pennsylvania Institute of Culinary Arts, and his kitchen career has taken him from Pittsburgh to Martha's Vineyard to Durham, N.C., and finally, to Washington, D.C.
