Ate here recently for the first time since the pandemic year. While I do not think the menu has changed significantly but what I thought about the menu then I still think about it---basically not a lot of options but what it does offer seems to be overpriced. This visit was around 4:00 pm when we arrived---in the restaurant area there were 5-6 tables where people were sitting and for whatever reason we were seated next to another party who coincidentally were having a good time, meaning loud. Still not sure of the reason we were seated next to another table (booth) when there were plenty of other tables /booths available. Our server was nice, knowledgeable and efficient in bringing our food and drink order which is great but my order of fish tacos was bland even when I then dunked one with tartar sauce. The order came with 3 fish tacos. All said Previous experiences here have usually been strong so I do look forward to returning again in 2023. read more

I ordered a Cesar with the seafood pasta. The salad was sooooo good for some reason, and I honestly should've stopped eating after that, but I didn't. The pasta came and it was good too, but it had peppers which I asked to be omitted, but whatever. The bartender brought me salt and pepper as if she already knew it needed more seasonings, and it did...but still, it was cool. The rating was more for the experience at the bar. I just felt it wasnt very personable and very, "attendee" like; not too short, but not warming either. Maybe it was because they were about to close in a hour, but who knows. read more

The best prime rib in town!!! If you never had prime rib be adventurous and give it a try. Of all the sides the Mac is the winner! NYO Mac and cheese is probably the best Mac I ever had. So much We cook a copy cat at home all the time. Every time I come here I always get the steak Maui or the pork loin. The hint of sweetness is my go to. read more

Great restaurant. It had been years since I visited here but I'm glad I went the other night. Perfect atmosphere for a date night. There was no wait time on a Saturday night around 7:30. The atmosphere is romantic with low lights. Our waitress was super friendly. She gave great suggestions. I had the Mexican spinach dip to start. It was amazing! Hot, nice and creamy with a side of diced tomatoes. Plenty of chips! For my meal I ended up going with the crab cakes. I subbed the fries for steamed broccoli. Fantastic! The crabs were lumped with a small batter on the top and bottom. The steamed broccoli was buttery and flavorful with Parmesan cheese. Due to the rise in crab the cost was $41.00 but it was delicious. For dessert I had the key lime pie! Easily shareable between 2. It was good. We had a lemon drop and another drink called Eden something. Both drinks were strong. I'm not a big drinker so it was too much for me. Definitely returning. read more

The ambiance is perfect. My server was attentive. And the raspberry cosmopolitan is the bomb!!!! I had a few. I ordered a steak burger, it was very tasty and the fries were good. I topped it off with a slice of carrot cake that was big enough to share. It was brought out warm and the cream cheese icing was good. I would definitely visit again! read more

I love this place! I swear this is one of my absolute favorites in Baton Rouge. My favorite menu items are the emerald coast shrimp, Maui steak and of course the the queso for appetizer! The service is alway wonderful and it's such a pleasant atmosphere. read more

Food was alright. Service was ok. Atmosphere was nice. Just a "meh" experience. Unfortunately the steak had a sauce on it that we did not love. The artichokes were interesting, but not great. Ah! I wanted to love it but just didn't. read more

Love this place. Never had a bad meal here. Service is second to none !! Very nice inside

Always good food & service. Nice place to enjoy a dinner - from a high end burger with thin cut fries to salad with raw tuna on top or simply a good steak. read more

We love going there. The food and service is very consistent. We love the Caesar salad but add the cornbread croutons. The grilled salmon is delicious with the broccoli. This restaurant is definitely in our rotation. read more

After a longer than expected wait time at a nearby restaurant, we called around searching for a shorter wait. I always had great food and a great experience at J Alexanders so we called for the current wait for a family of five and were told 15 minutes. We arrived in less than 10 minutes to be told we wouldn't be guaranteed a table. The guy who answered the phone had a very disingenuous and dismissive apology saying he thought we said party of 4. We had to return to our previous destination with an even longer wait time. Although I've had great experiences here and it's one of my favorites, I will not be back. read more

Very disappointed in J. Alexander restaurant. I have been there a number of times and the food and service have always been great. Recently I made a reservation for 4 adults and wanted to add one more to my party to make 5. I was told they would not add another person to the table because they only had 5 tables available for groups larger than 4. These tables are first come first serve. I have never experienced anything like this. So you will be fine if you only need a table four. They will not reserve a table for five or more in your party! Thank you for responding to my review. The problem seems to be that the restaurant's website info on reserving tables for 5 or more in the group are not clearly stated. The website should state that reservations for 4 or less can be made. But if the party is 5 or more in the group, it is first come first serve since they only have a small number of tables for larger groups. read more

We came here for dinner last night, and all I have to say is WOW! J. Alexander's has definitely redeemed themselves in my book. Everything was perfect despite my last couple of visits being a bit underwhelming. We tried the deviled eggs which I honestly didn't care for.. they were a bit bland and dry. Other than that, our steaks were both cooked perfectly, and everything else was on point! My steak maui was everything I could ask for and more. It was such a tender piece! I felt so lucky! The not your ordinary mac & cheese was amazing as usual - I've never been disappointed with it. Our waiter, Britain, took great care of us last night. He did a great job with the wine presentation and had a nice easygoing attitude. Do request him for your next visit! read more

Since February, I have been to J. Alexander's twice. I sat in the dining area and both Abbi and Joseph were my servers. Food was great (if getting the tuna, get the ginger sauce on the side) and service was excellent. Thanks for the great food and service. Ambiance was very nice and relaxing while enjoying my meal. read more

Pretty consistent on food but gave me trouble about my federally licensed service animal - told me I can't feed her in the restaurant, I dine out frequently out all over baton rouge and New Orleans in much finer places and not to be like that. This was my first issue in Baton Rouge about it but I just know I will not come back. Other than that it's better than apple bees read more

J. Alexander's is a multi-state chain restaurant with a personal touch. If you've traveled much in the US, you're probably familiar with this eatery. The Baton Rouge location is one of my favorite places to go when I need a "nicer" lunch or dinner but I don't want to completely break the bank. I have loved pretty much everything on their menu that I've tried which includes all sorts of things like tacos, salads, fancy sandwiches, burgers, and steak. The chicken pasta soup and mac and cheese are two of my favorite menu items. The service here is really top notch. The team takes really good care of you, usually. Note that the prices here are a bit higher than your average chain, but you're paying for a higher caliber of service and food. I recommend it! read more

Food was great. The experience was the best. The service was absolutely fantastic. I loved it there.

I forgot how nice this place is. I went recently after not going in many years. Makes a good spot for locals or visitors.

This was our first time at this restaurant. I went because today is my husbands 65th birthday & I did tell them we we're celebrating his birthday. It was on the piece of paper the server picked up at our table. But nothing was said or done. So that was very disappointing! Otherwise the food was really good. read more

The food is great I come here all the time but tonight my waiter Maddie was the rudest service I have ever experienced. We were here for over an hour she came to the table twice and when we asked for the bill it took another half hour to wait for her attitude smack the bill down without a word and walks away. read more

My friend asked me to meet her for dinner and because I choose the lay place she got to chose this time. The restaurant is kinda dark (I'm guessing it's supposed to be romantic) it was a Friday night but the place was kind of empty there was no wait. I had been craving some spinach and artichoke dip. They didn't have that but they had spinach queso. It is queso with spinach in it. It was really good. I ordered some chicken pasta that was very bland. I had to ask for some seasoning. Once I added the seasoning it was ok. I would definitely try the queso again read more

The Food - Absolutely Delicious ! I throughly enjoyed the queso spinach dip, fried shrimp and Mac N Cheese! I love how seasoned, tasteful and fresh the food came out. I highly recommend you try the Mac N Cheese !! The service - Our server was Awesome! She was very attentive and thoughtful , helped us to customize our order to perfection. The location - perfectly next to the mall and other shopping centers . read more

The prime rib is really tender. If you are a beef eater, it is as good as it gets. It is a really large portion as well. I also like their salads. Visited again and ordered something different. Absolutely loved it all! Had the spinach and queso dip, crab cakes and the not your average macaroni and cheese. read more

Great atmosphere, but food isn't the same as it was in the early 2000s. Also, lack of diversity with staff; it appears they are trying to keep a certain clientele...if you know what I mean. read more

This was a truly great steak house! I brought my family and my parents here on Christmas Eve and we were all quite pleased! First, our server was very attentive and on top of it. She knew the menu and was friendly. The only down side, because I'm in a calorie counting phase, J Alexander's doesn't have a calorie count/nutritional value for their menu. A little bothersome, but not even notable for most people. I got the filet mignon, which was 8oz of beautiful bliss in my mouth hole coupled with a delight of a baked potato and a magical bernaise sauce... Check it out, this is the place to go. read more

Amazing food and they have had great bartenders when I've gone. Just a good experience always.

nice presentation of Steak Maui but that's deception! It was to be cooked Med+, came out well done with bourbon whiskey sauce to mask...extremely tough and customer service worst ever!!! read more

Excellent professional service. Clean environment with very good spacing between tables. Choice to use Your smartphone for menu or they provide paper menu if you prefer. Kept drinks full and checked back frequently. Artichoke appetizer was tasty as was the shrimp. Nice Mojitos! Our party each ordered the filet mignon with bernaise and all were well pleased ... not over salted just right flavor. Huge baked potato. Pricey but quality of food and exceptional service make it worth price for a special dinner. In these COVID days clean service matters!!! read more

Great chill vibes! I love it here! The food is amazing!! The waiters are super friendly and helpful!

My husband and I had our second date at J Alexander's in 1999. We live only a few miles away and it has always been our favorite BR restaurant. Have eaten there many many many times and always loved it. We dined there tonight and the food was as good as it always has been. However. We ordered two classes of house Pinot Grigio wine and one glass of house Chardonnay with our dinner. The wine totaled $41.00. $13 each for the Pinot Grigio and $15 for the Chardonnay. Are you serious? HOUSE wine? Alas, it will probably be a while before we return. read more

Best food. Good service. Great ambiance. Same service every time you go. Definitely in the top 3 steakhouses.

Santana was the best waitress I have ever had. I came the other night with a group of friends for a birthday dinner and we haven't stopped talking about how good of an experience we had! Santana was very patient and she was so sweet! She took the time to answer all of our questions about the menu and it was evident that she was knowledgeable about the menu items! She was amazing and kept us laughing! The food was amazing but me and my friends were talking about how we would go back to J Alexander's just to have that level of service again! As a manager myself, Santana is the perfect example of how employees should interact with customers in order to build relationships and create returning customers! We will definitely be back!! read more

One of my absolute FAVORITE restaurants. I have been coming here for 14 years.. The food is fabulous! Highly recommend the Maui steak and spinach queso.. the ribs are good too, so are the crab cakes, best Mac & cheese ever.. best burger ever! Prime rib is fabulous too. 10/10!! read more

I used to enjoy coming here for the crab cakes, which have fallen off in quality & increased in price. I will not order crab cakes at J.Alexander's again as they must've run out of lump crabmeat in Carolina to serve in this Louisiana eatery. The Carolina Crab Cakes used to be made with lump crabmeat but now, despite the price increase, no lump crabmeat that I could find. I didn't finish the second one due to lesser quality crabmeat. I'm under the impression that the "market price" was $48 for two crab cakes, about $24 per cake + french fries, today. Got a salad which had very little dressing, should've gotten that on the side. Service is still good and efficient but when I'm in the mood for a meat-centric dinner, J. Alexander's is not my first choice. I guess I won't mind joining friends who want to go back here but I won't be leading the pack. read more

The Steak Maui ribeye has never disappointed. I always get mine medium. This is not the fanciest steakhouse but it is a nice place to go for an above average steak. I would suggest sticking with medium if you are a medium rear steak eater because the cook is likely to end up rear. Also the fries are really good! read more

Service is also great! Best keylime pie I've ever had From Houston Tx. Make a trip to NOLA once a year and always stop at J. Alexander's read more

Enjoyed everything about my meal. The ribs were nice and tender, the bbq sauce was sweet with a little kick (spicey) . The loaded baked potato was nice and hot it was dressed with bacon, butter, cheese and sour cream. The broccoli was steamed and had a nice olive oil drizzle on them. The Key Lime pie was okay ( the amount I paid for that sliceof pie i could have gottena whole pie from the store that would have been better this is why I gave 4 stars). My choice of drink to go with the meal was a coke. read more
