    Avocado Bomb
    Iseo Y.

    I was there last night for dinner and that place is packed! We got a seat at the bar and perfectly fine with it. I ordered the Avocado bomb this is why I came here for the 2nd time even though it's more than an hour away from me, I was just in the neighborhood, still ordered the same as last time, French dip with Aujus, my favorite, but this time, the Aujus is room temperature and it's hard to eat this sandwich if this not hot so I asked again for a hot or just put it in the microwave, 3 cup of aujus came with the same room temperature, so I finally asked them to just reheat these in the microwave and came perfectly hot, by then the bread is hardened but it's okay, I just ate the meat. Otherwise everything is good with service and the ambiance is nice .

    We came after a suggestion from a coworker when he said he tried a different location of J Alexanders. It did not disappoint. The vibe inside was great. The food and the wine were all great. The meat was cooked perfectly and seasoned great. As there aren't a lot of other great restaurants in the area that I know of, I will be back the next time I'm here.

    Redfish tacos
    Molly F.

    The food was incredible. Lots of flavor and well put together! I'm weird about fish and the redfish was flavored to perfection. Their French fries are my favorite! Shoe string but still tender and crispy on the outside! We took our 20month old daughter for the first time and weren't sure if they had a kids menu but our wonderful server let us know they did and even offered to bring hers out as soon as it was ready so she could start eating! We love this location and will be back!

    Parmesan and crusted trout couscous

    Parmesan crusted trout is delicious and cooked just right. Sides of season vegetables. The NY steaks are so delicious and juicy cooked just how we wanted. The service is outstanding with the waiter staff we have

    Salmon on Alex's salad
    Mike D.

    Big entre salads ! Nice cocktails and finish with the famously good carrot cake ! My wife's chicken salad would be even better with only half as many corn tortillas strips in it . My Alex's salad with salmon was perfect. Happy hour food n drinks only if seated at the bar 4-6 pm m-F . See pic . Upscale bar environment ! Excellent service. The artichoke app was interesting but not worth repeating..

    BLUF: CHECK YOUR MOBILE ORDERS. Raw food. Sour food. I really remember when I first came here and the food was consistently delicious. At one point, I was spending well over $50 at least twice a week at this establishment. As time has passed, I have seen the managers come and go here and while they are kind, and the more recent times, I'm not sure what is going on, but seems like Their job has become more trying. Soy Yen was one of the most kindest, compassionate hostesses. She was one of the reasons that I continued to come back and spend my money here, in addition to the very kind and hard-working managers and waitresses/waiters that I was able to experience. I'm not sure what has specifically happened logistically, but these days, the orders are more inconsistent when doing takeouts. The last couple of times I sat in the restaurant, it was OK, there were some things I had to send back as well, but I will say they were fixed. More recently, I ordered a couple of things and received a completely raw burger that look like it just came off of the cow. My potato was so acidic and bitter, it was sour. I quickly called and management quickly handled and reimbursed me for my burger. I was really honestly not Sure why the entire order could not be reimbursed. This experience came short after I had another order previously and it took 45 minutes for me to receive bread on my to go order. I could go into a rabbit hole with that experience, but I'll leave it there. What I was told was that three hours before closing, the workers had thrown out the remainder of the bread and had to bake fresh bread. The inconsistencies are too often. Not really sure how long it will be before I return, but it's very unfortunate because I truly love this place. Just asking others to ensure that they check their mobile orders before they pick up and takeoff. And for a manager to express that there must've been a mixup and that is why my burger was completely raw, as I'm sure he is very overwhelmed with a full packed house, that was probably not the best solution to the issue.

    Steak and fries ($32)

    I kind of hate to leave 2 stars because the food was okay, but...considering everything else, I just don't think I can justify a 3. I arrived for a late lunch last Wednesday. I'd had a long and challenging couple of weeks but felt I'd triumphed; I was in the area, finished with work, and thought why not reward myself with something special? This upscale restaurant is located near enough to the Trash Pandas stadium that you can hear the music/announcements from the spacious parking lot. Wonder if that would be disruptive during an outdoor meal? Idk, I sat inside. The restaurant looks even larger on the inside than the outside. It's pretty, modern, and clean, but perhaps a little generic looking and, I feel, a tiny bit on the casual-side -- at least in comparison to the price point. I'm not usually so critical about this kind of stuff, but...well, I'll get there. The hosts are stationed to your right as you walk in. They weren't super busy but it took them a moment or two to acknowledge me. Once greeted, they suggested I could sit at the bar since I was dining solo, or I could have a booth. I requested a booth and they seemed veryyyy slightly miffed, but took me to one anyway. One thing I noticed while perusing the menu is the restaurant is LOUD. They were maybe at like 15% capacity and it wasn't the quiet, intimate affair I expect of fancier restaurants. Perhaps it feels more romantic/decadent at night with candles lit, but it felt once again pretty generic and informal during the daylight. My waitress was...very lackluster. Not rude, but distinctly curt and didn't seem super interested in ensuring I had a pleasant visit. I had to wait for my meal to be delivered just so I could ask for a straw for my drink. She never once asked if I liked my food, needed anything else, wanted a dessert, etc. Only machine-like delivery of beverage and entree. Worse, I was very thirsty and drained my tea quite quickly; no refill was forthcoming until I'd all but finished my meal, despite her making eye contact with me at least twice. Again, I swear I'm usually not a jerk or even very particular about lackluster service; I understand the industry is difficult and unforgiving and I try to be as patient and generous as I can. But...this price point really feels like more attention should be warranted. One big complaint for me is that there's no lunch menu here; all full-dinner prices all the time. Still, I was determined to get the complete experience because I didn't know if I'd come back or not, so I ordered the steak and fries with a sweet tea to drink. I enjoyed my tea except for my inability to get a timely refill. My food arrived quickly and was clearly cooked fresh. The steak was slightly closer to a medium-well than the medium I ordered, which I honestly thought was pretty funny given their dogged insistence that they won't cook well-done steaks. The fries were crispy and plentiful. The steak was tender enough but not remarkably so; the most notable thing about it was that it was quite salty -- probably from the maitre d butter they used to finish it. Again -- it was not intolerably salty -- but paired with the fries, it only further increased my need for more tea. Overall, I'd say the food was good. I enjoyed it. But it was maybe only 15% better than a good Outback steak experience, at far more than double the price. My meal -- entree and non-alcoholic beverage only + 18% tip -- was only just shy of $50. For lunch. For one person. Again, there was nothing overtly bad about my experience. But if I'm really going to pay ~$50 for a meal (at lunch!!), it really, really needs to WOW on all fronts. And I can't say that J. Alexander's did. It's unlikely I'll find my way back here again, given the infrequency at which I do ~fancy~, but perhaps others will have a more positive experience than me.

    Side house salad
    Ashley S.

    We went here for my birthday dinner. This was my first time at this restaurant chain. One note: for some dumb reason they do not allow any kind of balloons in the restaurant. My husband had gotten a balloon centerpiece for my birthday and they confiscated it. They did accommodate him dropping off a cake ahead of time and brought it out after we were done eating. The food was excellent. I got the deviled eggs and steak braze special. The proportions were huge. I had a side salad that was large enough to be an entree. My friends ordered the queso appetizer and it was fantastic! Everyone's food was great. I would definitely come back, but disappointing about the balloons.

    Lita G.

    Gotta say, I rarely order a full steak when eating out, I enjoy them occasionally but only because I don't like making them at home. Still, this place left me underwhelmed. I joined a friend for her birthday dinner, and had a great time with friends, service was good, and the menu had a decent selection to choose from. We were happy to try this place for the first time, and I think everyone really loved their food, and mine was fine but that's about it. The place looks nice, and it's very dark, but it didn't really feel as upscale as others have mentioned. It's a lovely place, but not uppity enough to call it upscale, but it's Huntsville, nothing here is truly upscale. I ordered the steak Maui, which is a marinated ribeye, cooked medium rare. It had a decent flavor in the marinade, but it was a bit chewy, and even had a big chunk of cartilage not noticeable because of the sauce initially. I have had ribeye before, so even as not a steak person, I am familiar with this cut. The "smashed" (mashed) potatoes were good but average. The food was alright, but for $44 for the entree alone I wouldn't return. The non steak options sounded great but being a steakhouse I felt I had to try the steak, and it didn't wow me.

    The filet mignon and the hamburger was excellent. Service was very good and the place was not too loud.

    I am never disappointed by Valentina's Kitchen. The BEST TACO TRUCK! I literally dream about her…read moretacos, her tortas, her burritos. Honestly her food is all top tier. I haven't had a bad thing from there. And I try to go as often as I am allowed. The chicken fajita tacos are my favorite and I love that you can choose between flour and corn tortillas and even ask for a mix if you order multiple (you will) For tortas my number one would be the cochinita! The flavors just hit and it's an absolute delight for your tastebuds. I have no bad things to say. And the customer service is always to the nines. If you have your fur baby with you, you can even ask for a dog friendly quesadilla/taco to give!

    I grew up in SoCal and spent lots of time in Mexico, so I take my tacos seriously…read more That being said, Valentina's makes some of best tacos I've had in the United States! Their pastor and lengua are phenomenal (asada is hit or miss) and the flour tortillas are soooo chewy and delicious. Their cheese sauce and salsa are mid. And the only reason why I took off a star is because their hours can be super unpredictable. Make sure to give them a call OR check their instagram page BEFORE driving over! Even though their hours said they'd be open, they're not always open... Eating tacos at Valentina's is one of the reasons why I look forward to coming to HSV. So make sure to give them a call before eating some of the best tacos ever~

    Hubs met his friend for lunch here last Friday. He enjoyed his chicken sandwich. He brought me an…read moreorder of shrimp and grits to go. The dish was packaged well, and travelled well. There were ample shrimps in the dish and the shrimps were seasoned well and tasty! Both the shrimps and the grits were exceptional quality. The grits were very creamy and again, seasoned well! The lemon was grilled which is a lovely touch and the scallions/sliced onions offered a touch of freshness and flavor. There was an abundance of grease in the dish which was the only evidence of any chorizo sausage. In accustomed to having andouille sausage in shrimp and grits and usually they are medallions, sliced like coins. Sometimes the sausage is diced and it's always seared. The sausage was absent. Day one I ate the shrimp and day two I cooked some andouille sausage we had, removed the grease from my leftovers, and had the grits with our andouille medallions. The grits were cheesy and creamy and really good and they did taste great with the addition of our sausage. I'm sure Tupelo Honey would have corrected the missing sausage had I been present at lunch. I was pleased with the quality of the ingredients, just disappointed the sausage was missing.

Service was a bit slow getting started and remained somewhat slow throughout our visit. For starters, we ordered the fried green tomatoes and fried pickles. The fried green tomatoes were a bit firm and difficult to cut, but the fried pickles were enjoyable. For our entrees, we ordered the Chicken & Waffles, Peppercorn Meatloaf, and Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken. We also ordered a side of sweet potato pancakes. The Peppercorn Meatloaf had quite a bit of spice, even for a spicy food lover like me! The chicken tenders served with the waffles had some spice to them as well. They tasted fine to me, but they were a little too spicy for my friend who ordered them. The Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken was definitely our fave, 10/10. The crispy Brussels sprouts were a bit dry and underwhelming. I think they would have been much better with some type of glaze or sauce. We waited quite a while for our bill at the end of the meal. The slow service was the main drawback and reason for my rating. Our server was pleasant, but he seemed a little overwhelmed.

So, first impressions was that we was in a very lovely surrounding and the menu ticked the boxes. Then, the young man who came to serve us was a very sterile individual indeed. We tried to engage him conversation but the silence and world class poker face he greeted our chat with was truly world class. Generally speaking, the food was good all except the Gorganzola sauce flooded which has a similar taste to licking battery acid. Then, very graciously, our english family member chose to pay for the meal as a gift and had a little confusion in regards to the american tipping policy so sought help from us whilst we shopped upstairs in the butchers. This was where he unfortunately encountered the most rude, brutish member of staff who insulted him with a foul level of arrogance stating she has never known someone to not understand the tipping policy instead of steering him in the right direction. And unfortunately for the member of staff, the person who she chose to belittle him to was his partner who was aghast at the level of unproffessionalism and completely ruined the experience and left us disgusted. This is not what you'd expect from British hospitality and I think this needs to be investigated. Shame on the member of staff.
