Pork chop with mashed potatoes and broccoli
Howard M.

I decided to check out J. Alexander's while staying at a nearby hotel. A last minute craving for a good meal. I've always heard good things about this place, and it lived up to the hype. It was busy when we got there, but we grabbed a seat outside after a short wait. Definitely a popular dinner spot. I was in the mood for some comfort food. I had the double-cut pork chop (cooked medium) with smashed potatoes and broccoli. The portions were huge, the sauce was amazing, and everything was delicious. If you're after a hearty, satisfying dinner, J. Alexander's won't disappoint.

I was here for New Year's Eve. The service was excellent. We had a private booth in the back of the restaurant, which was nice. It was private enough yet we could still see the hustle and bustle going on. The calamari appetizer was a nice start. It is made in a house and not pre-frozen out of a bag. They marinate it to tenderize the calamari first. I found it to be good but too soft for me. It was almost mushy underneath and crispy coating. I had the prime rib with loaded, baked potato as an entrée. The prime rib shined! This is one of their main features on their menu. The loaded baked potato was humongous. It could be a meal by itself. I only ate about half of it next time I would probably order asparagus or other vegetables as a side. Overall, it was a good experience and I will be back to try more items on the menu. The place has a solid reputation. I also remember a bread pudding, dessert that I want to try.

FIRE-GRILLED ARTICHOKES

anytime coming to J alexander's the service is always amazing and they always treat you like royalty. this is kind one of the only high-end restaurants where I live so we come here at least a few times a month. This is the first time I tried the Ahi tuna sandwich and it was so filling and tasty I ordered it with a butternut squash, and they made it with butter, cinnamon, and sugar, which is the first time I've ever had that on squash my father always likes the rotisserie chicken and everything was just divine.

Old Fashioned Cheeseburger w/ NYO Mac & Cheese
Alex B.

I've been to this restaurant a few times & I have nothing but great things to say about it. Whether it's been for a lunch or dinner, the experience is always wonderful. Service is on point, the food is consistent, drinks are strong (but mixed well) & the overall atmosphere is solid. This place serves up an amazing burger that I would recommend to anyone who comes. There's something about the combination of cheddar & their patty that makes one of the best tasting burgers I've ever had. It's cooked perfectly to my specified temperature every time & truly mouth watering. The prime rib sandwich is also a winner. The aged beef they use is delicious, it's insanely tender & the au jus is wonderful. Their steaks are out of this world also. Whatever your preferred cut, it's guaranteed to be high quality & cooked exactly as you like. Between these options it makes it almost impossible to choose what to order but that's not necessarily a bad problem to have! Their calamari is incredible, as well. Definitely a great way to start your meal. The shoestring fries are crispy, loaded with flavor & served in massive portions. My personal favorite side is the "NYO Mac & cheese" though. It's baked to order & can't be forgotten about. I usually wouldn't go this far but if you like Mac & cheese you NEED to order it, no questions asked. You can really taste the variety of different cheeses they put into it. It's creamy, rich, has a beautifully baked top layer of cheese & is just all around perfect. The bartenders serve some great beverages that taste amazing. You definitely get your moneys worth. The servers are always friendly & do a great job at making sure your business feels appreciated. Tables are turned quickly, dishes are picked up promptly & glasses are kept topped off. This is by far one of my favorite steakhouses & I'd suggest giving them a visit if you're thinking about it. The prices are more than fair for everything you get.

Paradise Kale Salad
LaNedra J.

My sisters and I had a fantastic lunch date this weekend. Our waitress, Priscilla, was the absolute best! She was attentive and had fun with us & our crazy personalities! The food and drinks were delicious. We ordered: * Classic Margarita * Cindy's Lemon Drop Martini * The Duke Martini * Alex's Salad w/ Blackened Salmon & Bleu Cheese dressing (Absolutely DELICIOUS) * Paradise Coast Kale Salad * Grilled Chicken Salad

20oz Prime Rib , seared on both sides.
Doug R.

09/19 - Friday Evening Nothing much has changed here, service is still great, and the food continues to be consistently good. I always order the Prime Rib seared on both sides (probably the only one who does!), and even though I can be a bit picky, the staff has always been accommodating. We come at least once a month, and they've managed to stay reliable and consistent. Keep it up, guys!

Ahi tuna salad
Diane R.

We went for an early dinner, we don't live near there but we're in the area. It was yummy!! We shared artichokes app; I had the veggie burger and chose coleslaw my side; Husb had the French dip w/ fries..everything was sooo so good. I also had old fashioned cocktail the best ever. Jackie our server was incredible!! Ambiance was perfect altho there were two toddlers that weren't happy.

Calamari that was on special. It was delicious. So fresh.
Ashley Y.

Love this restaurant. The food is amazing no matter what dish you get! Drinks are always so good. The martinis come with a little side car as well so it's like you get 2 for the price of 1. All of their salad dressings are made home made. I had the cypress salad which comes with ranch and I also asked for a side of honey Dijon. Both were amazing. The calamari was so fresh. The lighting inside is very dim lit so it is more of a romantic vibe. Service was amazing. Our server Jake was very attentive and modified food orders for us, and checked in regularly to make sure we had what we needed. Highly recommend for a more upscale dinner!

Blond brownie with vanilla ice cream and caramel drizzle
Rachel S.

I was so hungry and craving a good juicy burger. (Hence no photos, I ate it too quickly) I ordered an old fashioned burger. It was prepared exactly the way I wanted, with aged tillamook cheddar, grilled onion, served with the extra ketchup and mustard I requested. The service was excellent. Judeah took such good care of us checking to make sure we were enjoying our food and refilling our water glasses whenever they got low. My friend thought her burger was overcooked. The manager quickly took it away and prepared a new burger with fresh new fries etc. She devoured it. We loved the ambience as well. We didn't want to leave so we ordered dessert. My friend and I split the house made blond brownie with vanilla ice cream & caramel drizzle. My friend loved her key lime pie. Portions are large so plan to share. Great experience. We will return soon.

IPA
Reana K.

I always love coming here. The service is always great and the staff are very professional. I've never had a bad experience here. I tend to come for special occasions and family get togethers. I ordered an IPA this time instead of a martini which was pretty decent. I never stray away from my favorite dish; the ahi tuna. I highly recommend it! My mom got some fish and we also had an app to share. The ambiance was very chill and relaxing. It's not loud like some other restaurants. Our server was very kind as well and was on top of things.

A lot of entitled customers feel they walk in wait 10 minutes no reservations and should skip people who waited 15 minutes and had earlier reservations just because they make a scene.

Not only was he very apologetic, he seemed like he actually cared about making the situation right. After inquiring a bit more about the service that night he graciously invited me back for another meal. I understand mistakes happens so it's truly about how they're taken care of after the fact. In this case, it was handled well. I decided to come for brunch this time & overall, it was a really good meal. They weren't super busy but service was good. Our appetizers, drinks & meals all came out in a timely manner. For the most part, everything was right but one of the hash brown sides came out cold (it was quickly swapped for fresh ones). My chicken & waffles were delicious. I especially liked how freshly breaded/fried the chicken was. There was a misunderstanding when it came to ordering our drinks, however. I ordered one that should've came iced but got the other coffee beverage which is served warm. When I brought it up to the waiter he was adamant that it's what I ordered & how it's served. After I questioned it once more, he stuck to that, so I kept the drink. Thankfully, it tasted really good & was poured well but it wasn't what I ordered. It was just a bit off putting that he said it was. He said he'd take the drinks off but this was after we went back & forth about it. This isn't a make or break situation for me but he was set in his ways. As a server, you need to be as adaptive as possible, even if you believe you're right. I'm super thankful to have been invited back because it was a nice meal, as I expected. I'm glad I can now tell people to try them out in good conscience. If you're looking for some delicious food, tasty drinks & good service then you should stop by. They have something for everyone & their staff does a solid job.

There were at least five tables available inside the restaurant and only two occupied with couples and I wanted to sit inside, but she didn't allow me to sit where I wanted to sit so she sat me outside. There were mosquitoes it was dusk. I wasn't too happy plus it was windy, but anyhow, I ordered a Scooby and I asked her was it the Scooby like the ones that they serve in coconuts in Fort Lauderdale it is like oh yeah it's the same chef that worked there but they serve it a little different well when her Scooby's came they were the size of my pinky and it was seven of them and it was $27 very overpriced. I also ordered fish and chips which she said was extremely popular, it was so greasy that I asked for some paper napkins and she brought me two paper napkins, and I put one of the pieces on top of the paper napkin and it was soaked, so I asked her for more paper napkins and she brought me some more paper napkins and then I just got grossed out. It was too much grease. I ordered a glass of wine their house wine. And my total bill for one person was $67. They never asked me if everything was OK so I just paid the bill paid the tip and left. I wouldn't recommend that place to anybody.

Falafel is usually hit or miss for me, but I would get this again! We shared a mixed grill platter so we could try some of everything. Surprisingly, my favorite was the chicken! Perfectly cooked, well marinated and grilled with a slight char. My hubby liked the beef/lamb patty best. It also came with one lamb chop, a grilled tomato, a little side of marinated cabbage, and a grilled jalepeno on a bed of tomato flavored bulgur (think like a Turkish spiced rice pilaf?) everything was truly cooked perfectly with nice spice. We also tried the lentil soup - it tasted almost creamy with a light tomato base and everything blended together (with a tiny bit of texture left from the lentils.) Also very good. The server was extremely accommodating, even offering extra grilled tomatoes when he saw us sharing the scraps of one! So glad we found this place and certainly will return!

I was here at the Plantation location to attend this month's 4-course Martini Madness Dinner. The restaurant was packed for a Thursday evening. Servers greeted those in attendance, offering each person a glass of ice water and complimentary bread as we awaited the first course. Course one - Crab and avocado salad paired with Sparkling Cucumber Martini. The salad was a creamy mixture of avocado, lump crab, mango, and diced bell peppers on a bed of fresh spinach. Crispy tortilla chips was added for crunch. The martini was nice and light with a sparkling crisp taste. Course two - Scallop and shrimp scampi pasta paired with Lychee Martini. This was a very good dish. Nicely cooked shrimp and scallops tossed with all dente linguine in a light butter white wine sauce. Thoroughly enjoyed the lychee martini which was sweet and absolutely delicious. Course three - Mediterranean salmon paired with Island Breeze Martini. This was a filling dish. The salmon was nicely grilled and topped with sautéed spinach, feta cheese, diced tomatoes, and pickled onions; served with Jasmine rice and grilled asparagus. The martini was well-balanced with the vodka and various fruit juices (mango, passion fruit, and pineapple) without being overly sweet. Course four - Mixed berry mousse cake paired with Strawberry Rose Sidecar Martini. Moist, decadent cake layered with berry puree and coconut anglaise. In my opinion, the martini was too strong for a light dessert. It would have been best paired with a surf & turf dish. The whole event was well put together by the pleasant staff who made sure each transition between the courses ran smoothly and the removal of the empty dishes and glasses, as well as refilling the water glass was done in a timely manner. I look forward to attending another event soon.
