Had an 8pm reservation for a party of 6. The food was a 4 out of 5 (a couple of us dine here about once or twice a month.) Our server seemed to be somewhat inexperienced, maybe? She didn't tell us her name in the beginning, she didn't write any of our orders down which resulted in any modifications being missed that she had to correct. Once she brought the bill back in the end she quickly said "Thanks." and walked off. Gratuity had already been added to the bill, we feel the service could have been a lot better, especially for how much the bill was. read more

Ambiance was nice. Server did not have candle on table lit prior to seating us. She was MIA when we first down and restaurant was not busy!

Tonight my friend and I decided on dinner here since it's been a long time since our last visit. I ordered the steak Maui and loaded baked potato, my friend had the chicken tenders with slaw a s Mac and cheese. Everything came out perfect and tastes AMAZING. I wasn't too sure about this marinated steak, I kept thinking that sounds horrible and will probably taste like a pineapple. There was a sweetness to it but it was not like I imagined. It is something I can say I've tried, liked it, and would order again. The chicken tenders were food as always and the bakes potato well it was a potato. It did come out hot and fresh. There was not a wait when we arrived, we used OpenTable to RSVP, but even at 715pm the restaurant wasn't too crowded. I'm still trying to figure out why the name change, but I'd definitely recommend and return. read more

J. Alexander's - Maui steak and loaded baked potato - Steakhouses Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Very disappointing. Had the steak and fries. Unseasoned steak, shoestring fries. Not sure why steak fries aren't the fries paired with it, but they aren't. Menu did not warn the steak would be unseasoned, it was just a little surprise. There is no bread service. My cocktail was the wrong color for the drink I ordered. The unseasoned steak was very stringy. It took forever to eat. My guest had a decent steak, but his smashed potatoes were cold, and oddly plain and dry. It was as if they literally smashed some boiled or baked potatoes and that was it. No discernible seasoning, other than some dried green flakes on top. Absolutely one of the most disappointing $120 meals I have ever had. read more

Beautiful food, tasty, and very high quality. The steak Maui is incredible, along with all of their sides and deserts. My favorite steak house in the area. read more

Reservations are a must for this incredible establishment. Our waiter was Rowland and he was very knowledgeable about the menu and took the time to answer all my questions. read more

I've never visited this space even though it's right by the mall. And I'm glad that I finally stepped in. The ambiance was nice, and the customer service was even better. Our server was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and accommodating. We were a party of 4, and we never wanted for anything. I ordered the chicken platter which ended being similar to tenders. They were a little pricey, but I did have an enormous amount of food. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience, and I'll be back for the lemon-drop martini! read more

Unlike the No Service Firebirds...we got immediate attention, better Prime Rib and our waiter was alive and well. The steaks are much better and the prime rib is superior. Hello Redlands! Good bye Firebirds read more

When we sold our house in Tampa, our Realtor gave us a gift card to J Alexander's Restaurant. We had been many years ago in Tampa and it was just average. Boy, have things changed in Memphis! We were traveling and decided to use our gift card. The restaurant had an open grill and the chefs were busy cooking some beautiful steaks. My husband had a filet mignon sandwich and I had a French dip. The filet was tender and tasty. The dip was very generously stacked with tender meat and the au jus was great. Service was friendly and efficient. We went to the Chattanooga store, and it couldn't hold a candle to the Memphis place. Wish we lived closer. We'd be your best customers! read more

I have fond memories of coming here with my family after getting married. I am not sure why we picked here but it was a great experience. Hubby and I came back sometime after and we decided to come back once again this time to celebrate 7 years. They've changed the name but it's the same place pretty much. They said they could make things here that were specific to J. Alexander's. The spinach queso was as good as I remembered but there's so much that splitting it with two people actually ended up filling me up pretty quickly. There's only one pasta and it's called rattlesnake pasta. I asked if I could have chicken in it instead and found out it's not not actually rattlesnake- I apparently eat at some very interesting places since I sincerely believed it was. I asked for them to make my pasta spicier and they added more cajun seasoning. This didn't really make it spicier but did unbalance the flavor so I wouldn't do that again. I found I liked mixing hubby's rotisserie chicken into it to balance the flavors a little more. He agreed that it was a good idea. Since it was our anniversary they gave us a free dessert of our choice. We went with the chocolate cake but I wish we'd have gotten the key lime pie. It was a fun experience and wasn't too much more expensive than other places we go to but it's so far away we don't think we would be back anytime soon. To Try: Key Lime Pie Love: - Spinach con Queso Like: - Rattlesnake Pasta (do NOT ask for it to be spicier). Ok: - Mashed Potatoes - Rotisserie Chicken Disliked: - Very Best Chocolate Cake read more

The lemon drops are so delicious and the ambiance is amazing excellent customer service great food just all around great

I'm obsessed with the experience that I had here. My waiter Stella was a doll and super helpful in making anything I wanted come to fruition. For my drink I ordered the lemon drop martini with a little bit of raspberry. It was delicious! I also ordered the grilled pork with mashed potatoes and a side of Mac n cheese. Now my pork came out cold but it was yummy anyways so I didn't complain. But the best part of my meal was my drink and the Mac n cheese. Definitely order it when you come here and the lemon drop martini! Thanks Stella for the great experience! read more

This restaurant seemed like it would be pretty good and brought to mind other restaurants we've enjoyed that were very similar in California. However, I believe the management is so 'loose' that it deters from the experience. Here's what I mean. The hostess was disconnected from us although she 'greeted' us and called another person to seat us. The restaurant was not busy. We were seated in one of the booths around the raised perimeter of the service area although there were many open tables. It seemed as though our remote location made our service slow and sometimes non-existent although our waitress was friendly. The waitress was responsive when she was with us but it seemed that she did not have the support needed, i.e. bus people to pour water, clear plates, etc. The bar was very slow and I was brought the wrong type the first time although the waitress had the order correct. Tick, tick, tick....sloooooow food service then BOOM! the overly large salads arrived! IMMEDIATELY after the salads arrived the entrees arrived! Nope, you may not put that down (he asked). Please bring it after we've eaten our salad thank you. Sheesh. The kitchen forgot an ingredient featured in the description of my entree. FORGOT it. The waitress offered to replace the entree or bring the ingredient 'on the side' but I opted just to eat as is. So no, we will not return. read more

Fantastic food with exceptional service! I would highly recommend! Will visit again if I am in the area read more

J. Alexander's - Prime rib with mashed potatoes - Steakhouses Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I love Redlands. I frequent at least twice a week. Good food and drinks and very attentive bartender staff. It gets busy quickly, so the best day to grab a bar seat is to come as early as you can read more

Took my husband for his birthday. We enjoyed the food and the romantic atmosphere. I recommend as a spot for couples.

Either they ain't doin good this month or nun of you guys have good taste. My steak had no taste and I could barley eat the Mac n cheese. It had me going to the bathroom like 10 minutes into my meal and as disgusting as it sounds, I had diarrhea so as soon as I was done I just walked out with my fam. I wouldn't eat here again even if it's free. Oh and they don't even serve dr.p I wanted to try something new but I guess I'll just take my ass back to Texas de brazil which Is an amazing restaurant and worth every penny. read more

Service was great but they overdressed my salad so badly :( calamari was good but quite greasy. Prime rib was good & so were the mashed potatoes. Would highly recommend the Halibut plate. I will definitely return just might order something different next time. read more

We came here for the salads at lunch. The front of house wasn't very friendly, but the waiter & manager were. There was an incredibly terrible strong smell of something sour as we walked further into the restaurant. We talked about it with the manager & they said they'd talk with the GM about the odor. Salads were good, but the smell was something we were not able to look past. Will probably not return. read more

The avocado bomb appetizer is my favorite! And the servers were top notch! Highly recommend

Husband and I sat in the bar area. Great service. He ordered the monthly special of trout and thought it was just OK and needed a sauce. I order the filet mignon with bernaise sauce. Best steak I have had in a while! I ordered it medium rare and switched the baked potato for the mac and cheese which was to die for! Great overall! read more

J. Alexander's - Trout, Filet Mignon with Béarnaise - Steakhouses Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Best service and delicious food! We come here all the time and it's always been wonderful!

I've always loved coming here several times a month to where they know our names even after the waitress recently spilled scotching hot bbq sauce on me and they brought me a towel and honey to smooth the burn. I ordered ribs(they have the best!) and my mom convinced me to order a side of sauce. As the waitress brought the sauce, her attention was focused elsewhere and the plate that was holding the sauce tilted towards me and the entire bowl of sauce spilled on my hand and splashed on my dress. This was HORRIBLE . read more

J. Alexander's is one of my favorite restaurants. It's reliably excellent, and service is always great. This past Friday, we visited and started with their house salad. It's one of the best salads anywhere, and I especially love the honey glazed croissant that comes with it! I then had grilled salmon, with orzo & wild rice - which is what I order most every time I visit. It was excellent, just like always. My husband got their prime rib sandwich (not sure if that's the name), and he was happy with it as well. Service here is impeccable. Our server was on top of every detail, and I also appreciated that other servers seem to chip in & help each other out, picking up empty plates, refilling drinks, etc. It seems like a real team environment. We'll definitely be back!!! read more

I absolutely love J Alexanders! This place always delivers quality food and service. My fiancé and I enjoyed dinner here and were promptly seated. They do get busy, so we always like to make reservations. My favorite is the prime rib. It's so tender and flavorful. The best steak on the menu in my opinion. The horseradish sauce that comes with it is the perfect complement to the steak. My fiancé ordered their steak Maui, which was also divine and so juicy. J. Alexanders is our favorite steakhouse! read more
