One of Reston’s go-to restaurants is nationally ranked.
Jackson’s Mighty Fine Food & Lucky Lounge is among the top-grossing independent restaurants in the country, according to the trade publication Restaurant Business. Jackson’s brings in an estimated $11.2 million in annual sales, making it No. 86 on a list of the top 100 earners.
The 260-seat Reston Town Center eatery — which won the Best Happy Hour honors in Reston Now’s Best Reston Business Awards — serves an estimated 41,500 meals annually, the rankings say.
Only one other Virginia restaurant beat Jackson’s sales; Mike’s “American” in Springfield ranked No. 62, with estimated sales of more than $12.8 million. Both are run by Great American Restaurants.
At the top of the list were Tao Asian Bistro in Las Vegas, grossing $64.6 million, and Joe’s Stone Crab in Miami Beach, earning $35.3 million. Old Ebbitt Grill in D.C. came in No. 3, bringing in more than $26.6 million a year.
