  • "Chose J's because of excellent service I have experienced. Service was OK but definitely not up to standards we have experienced. Took forever to get a drink and service was slow. Waitress helping our main waitress couldn't even pour a beer. Disappointing."

  • "Great food, fast service, good value. This is a business professional gem. Service is upscale enough to take a client or have a lunch meeting. It can get loud, but not to that point where you cant conduct some business. Food is also good."

  • "Great dining experience for a family of four! Filet mignon was amazing, as was the Rotisserie chicken...both perfectly seasoned and cooked. For one child who will eat nothing but chicken fingers, the Cypress salad was an excellent option. Prime rib was very good. Nice wine list. Very good service after being seated; had a short wait with reservations."

  • "We had an incredible evening and dining experience. We had a Terrific Server named Brianne, and her service was one of the Best we've ever experienced. Along with great service, she could have been a Wine Sommelier, as she recommended a terrific Pinot Noir that was one of the best we've ever had. We started out with a delicious Crab Cake, with a salad. I had the wonderful Scottish Salmon and my wife had a perfectly cooked filet. If you like Macaroni and cheese, you must try theirs, as it is incredible. What a delicious dinner and perfect evening it was for us. Can't wait to return, and we will be requesting Brianne.."

  • "Grilled salmon was amazing! Not a fan of the orzo side dish. Wish the no phones in the dining room rule was enforced. Overall, enjoyable dinner!"

  • "We went for a working lunch and it was very difficult to hear people across the table. Not really a good spot if you need to be able to interact with the entire table."
    Dined on 3/5/2014
  • "In our Open Table reservation "additional request/comment" box we mentioned that we would be celebrating a friend's 50th birthday. When we checked in and were seated, they placed the menus on the table, as well as the printed specials for the day. At the top of the printed specials paper they printed "Happy 50th Birthday Jim". It was such an unexpected and nice touch. The birthday boy was very touched. Thank you for going above and beyond!"

  • "Always enjoy a consistent evening at J. Alexander's. The only negative thing I can say is that they seem to rush you a bit. Our food came to our table before we were finished with our salads."

  • "After a not so great first experience at J Alexander's we were invited back by the manager for a second time. This time we had a much better experience! As we experienced on our last visit the service at J Alexander's is top notch! We had the calamari for appetizer and it was excellent, highly recommend! For our main course we had the double cut pork chop and the rattlesnake pasta. both were good but nothing exceptional. Finally we finished the night off with the chocolate cake, again it was good but nothing brag about. Overall this was a much better experience and we can't thank the management enough for inviting us back and showing us the true J Alexander's experience. Would definitely recommended to try it atleast once, maybe twice!"

After dinner they brought a huge chocolate cake thing with ice cream for all of us to share. We appreciate the special touches. Thanks you! Pam"

  • "Have dinned at restaurant several times. Two different locations Service has been excellent. Love attention from manager each time. Food has been good."
    Dined on 2/13/2014
  • "It seems like they've changed their menu a bit over the years. While the food is good, it's not quite worth the price. Also, this J. Alexanders has a different menu and style compared to 2 other of locations I've been to."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "We went to J Alexander's for my birthday dinner. The grilled artichoke was FABULOUS. The porterhouse with Oscar topping, was not very good. The Bernaise sauce over powered everything and the steak wasn't cooked evenly. My son's NY Strip was also way under cooked and didn't tast right. Not as good as the one in Oakbrook, IL."

  • "We started out our snowy Valentine's evening out with a soecial dinner out at J.Alexanders. The food was delicious, service was attentive but not rushed and the ambiance was superb. They have a way of making you feel special and that you're their only concern-- a VERY nice change in pace from parenting 3 kids, running all over the city and each working nonstop! Thanks again for a memorable occasion. We will continue to out this restaurant on our short list of favorites"

  • "Hi, After reading several reviews of the crab cakes on this site, I tried them. I was disappointed. While the crab was plentiful, they tasted slightly undercooked. Plus I got the orzo and wild rice. It came as a huge glob on my plate and the quantity was really unappetizing. Guess they were trying to fill up the plate. I was trying to make a healthier choice, but I should have gotten the fries. LOL"

  • "I brag about this place a lot for several reasons: 1. It's extremely consistent. You know EXACTLY what is going to happen when you go here. The food is ALWAYS good, the service is ALWAYS great! 2. It's close, it's reasonable and it's personable. 3. It's worth the step up from other restaurants in the area if I want to relax and enjoy a meal alone or with friends. I worry about NOTHING when I go here. Whether it's a date, a group of friends or just a quiet night for a dinner alone on the way home from work, this place is my first choice. I could eat there every night. Thank you J Alex staff!"

    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "First and foremost, the service was second to none. The food is consistently excellent. I hope they never take the crab cakes off the menu. Everyone should have the opportunity to taste was a crab cake "should" taste like, so this is the place. Also, best Pear Martini I've ever tasted!"

  • "Food was excellent and the wait was not long. When my salad arrived I had to ask for silverware. I was surprised when they only brought me some and when the meal arrived my husband had to ask also. Then they brought silverware and no napkin for him. Waiter was MIA a few times and had to wait on drinks. It was very cold outside but toasty warm in the restaurant. Noise level was a bit louder than our past experiences."
