    NY NEW YORK STRIP
    Jim G.

    Stopped in with a group for a business meeting. I got the martini with the really nice side car for $17. Tasty and almost two drinks which was nice. I also got the NY strip steak with mac and cheese. The steak was ok, certainly a large portion but not super tender. Nice touch with the butter on top. The mac and cheese was outstanding. I liked that more than my steak which is a rarity.

    Meal was intended to come with Cajun rice. We didn't receive that nor were we made aware of it.

    My family and I visited the Easton location to celebrate my mother's 65th birthday. Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow. We brought in cupcakes and had to ask the waiter four different times to bring them out. We finally received them about 30 minutes after we had already paid our bill. Then, I ordered two Cajun trout meals to go. I didn't check the bag because my father picked up the meals and everything appeared to be correct. To my surprise, once I arrived home, I realized I did not receive the Cajun rice that comes with the meal. Instead, I received couscous. At no point was it mentioned that the side had been substituted. The service overall was not good, but that was truly the icing on the cake. You should at least receive what you paid for and what was advertised with the meal. To make matters worse, I called to speak with a manager and was left on hold for 10 minutes with no one ever returning to the phone. I called back again, and no one answered. Overall, it was a terrible experience.

    This is the metal piece found in my devil egg at J Alexander's  Easton location

    On March 5, 2026 I was dining at J Alexander's and took a bite of a devil egg and broke a tooth a metal piece in the devil egg. It was my daughter's birthday and all they done was take off the devil eggs they were very rude like I put the metal piece in the food. I am a 65 year old black female with health problems had to have my tooth repaired and the most they offered me was $750 they tried to scare me to take it further. The fact is I wouldn't have went as far as I did if I had been treated like a customer that ordered food anyway and tried to eat but couldn't and they never accommodated the meals. Will never eat there again

    Mouse under table at J Alexander's Easton Location
    Lauren P.

    Simply stated this place has delicious food. I enjoyed my meal. Waiter was nice and attentive. PROBLEM: Mouse running around the table across from us. NOT OK. I reported to manager Jordan and she did nothing but say it's getting cold outside so they are trying to come in. Not trying they are. And after spending $100 on a lunch for two this is completely unacceptable at a restaurant of this caliber. I reported to headquarters and they did nothing also. Not even a response. Not that they will look into it. Nothing. Manager does nothing. I have never in all my years ever seen a mouse eating food under a table in a restaurant. I thought it was clean but obviously if mice are out and about in the middle of the day they have a serious issue. If I felt heard or had gotten proper response or action I wouldn't even post this. But it's as though nothing is being done. It's not ok. So hopefully this will bring awareness to the right people at the restaurant to get it clean and get the rodents out!

From the very beginning, Chip Mullen, the Relationship Manager, helped walk us through every step of planning our event. His professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail helped us create a truly memorable evening for our graduating fellows and faculty leadership. From the moment we walked through the doors until the very end of the evening, the staff was incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive. We hosted our celebration in the Buckeye Room, and it could not have been more perfect. Our Buckeye fans and alumni were over the moon with the décor and atmosphere--it added such a special touch to an already meaningful occasion. The food was AMAZING, and Michael, our server, was truly top-notch! He was attentive, personable, professional, and made sure our group was well cared for throughout the entire evening. Jeff Ruby's helped us turn a fellowship graduation dinner into a celebration our fellows and faculty will remember for years to come. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for an elegant dinner, a special celebration, or a fabulous private event experience. Thank you to Chip, Michael, and the entire Jeff Ruby's team for helping us celebrate our graduates in such a memorable way. Five stars all around!

We were a little worried but decided to see it through. I'm so glad we did! Everything about our experience was amazing. Valet parking is available which is always a plus. Walking in you're well aware you're in an upscale restaurant. The lights are dim and the design is rich and romantic. We arrived early and sat at the bar while waiting for our table. The hostess and the bartenders were all very attentive and professional. The hostess came to get us when our table was ready and we were asked if we preferred the elevator or stairs -we opted for the stairs going in, after filling our bellies we took the elevator! Our booth was spacious and comfortable, shaped almost circular so that we could sit close together but large enough there is plenty of space for more people. Our waiter, Sam, and his assistant, Brandon, very promptly arrived and introduced themselves. They brought amazing rye & sourdough bread in a basket with 2 choices of butter. Sam was very knowledgeable about the menu and his recommendations were on par with what we had in mind. We both ordered half salads, I ordered the Freddie and my husband had the Iceberg Blue. Both fresh and flavorful, neither of us could choose a favorite. For our entrees my husband opted for the Steak Collinsworth and I chose the pork chops... we both were impressed with the pork chops. Very flavorful and juicy with just the perfect amount of charring. We also ordered mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. It was all delicious! My husband really enjoyed the creamed spinach and said it was among the best he's had. We were too full for dessert, but Sam treated us to a cupcake for our anniversary. The experience from beginning to end could not have been better. We were thoroughly impressed and will definitely be back!

I couldn't imagine better brussels sprouts it was crispy but also soft in the center so you didn't have to fight your way through eating them even good restaurants. I have good flavor and good sauce for brussels sprouts aren't as soft as these ones. This was great. Lamb chops: 6.5/10 - very sweet small lamb chops! Cooked well and had good flavor I just wasn't personally blown away. The Clover Club: 9/10 - knew exactly what I wanted. Had Monkey 47 which is the BEST gin for this drink. Wasn't the best one I've had but pretty close for it not being on the menu. Filet: 7/10 - a little Gamey but it was cooked well as it should be. Didnt have anything unique about it just was don't like a filet should be done. The carrot was cooked to perfection which brought her review up. The fried potato was also amazing best part of the whole dish, especially with whatever spread they put on it. The fillet was not the highlight the carrot and the potato were. Sea Bass: 1/10 - genuinely did not taste good very gamey very fishy took two bites didn't eat it. The soup it came in was a little sour not a good flavor would not recommend. Hamachi Crudo: 3/10 - we are sushi snobs so take this with a grain of salt. It could totally be something that you love, but I hate when somebody brings out a piece of Nigiri or sashimi and it's warm. This dish has potential the flavors around it were very fresh but the hamachi was room temperature when it should be ice cold and the flavors felt like an after thought. Menu: 4/10 - nothing to write home about when it comes to the options. A very corporate get what you expect type restaurant. They aren't doing anything revolutionary here Atmosphere: 7/10 - definitely a nice spot. It's very clean bathrooms are intimate and also very clean again. Nothing revolutionary here the demographic when we went was very old and corporate. Price: 5/10 - $340 plus idk... I feel like this was worth $180-$220 personally for the price I never complain about price anywhere I go out to eat, especially fine dining, but this place was overcharging for what they're actually giving for sure. Overall: 6.5/10 - I would recommend this place to someone who doesn't really care about Food that much and is wowed by like an STK or a more chain like "fancy restaurant" I was hoping to get more of a small boutique very intentional experience at this restaurant just based on the outside by the field, but it definitely feels like they've cut a few corners when it comes to building a really unique food experience I would love to come back and give it another try because maybe I just came at an off time. Majority of people will give us an eight out of 10 rating.
