We are occasional diners at their Plantation restaurant. But we will not be returning... They have started to make the "suggested" tip based on the Total that includes tax, not the Sub-Total as has been standard in the business for years and years. This is completely disingenuous as most people don't even bother to look and just click the tip percentage button without checking to see what they are tipping on. And J Alexanders knows this! I questioned two managers after our dinner. The first manager had no clue what I was even talking about, the second (more senior) manager knew exactly what I was talking about. He didn't try to deny it, all he said was that this is something being done at the corporate level. As if dining out isn't expensive enough these days, now you have to look out for the restaurants trying to jam you for more money. Sorry J Alexanders, you've lost a customer read more

Came here for a date night/belated birthday celebration for my husband. It was easy to make a reservation online and thankfully I did because at 6:30 on a Friday evening the wait time for a table was an hour long. We had a reservation and still had a short wait, that's how busy it was. It's great to see this spot doing so well. When we sat down we got a special menu that said happy birthday, which was a nice touch! I ended up ordering off of the special menu, the Tuscan steak, which was phenomenal. To start the meal, I got an espresso martini. I love that it came with a sidecar, basically a two for one deal. My husband got the doppelganger, he loves whiskey, and it was delicious. The steak for dinner was a perfect choice and the smashed potatoes were great. The Palermo chicken was also very good. I don't like goat cheese, but I tried it and enjoyed. The white chocolate raspberry cheesecake ended our evening. They gave that to us as a birthday treat, which was unexpected but another special touch. It was delicious. From the ease of making reservations, to the food and service, this spot is worth going to for a night out or special occasion. read more

when I'm in Broward County, I'd like to go to this J Alexander's they welcome you. They get you in pretty much on time where other restaurants may not the food is always consistently delicious. The servers are very generous of heart and check on you at all time to see if you have any needs. read more

Everything was incredible. I took my mom there for her birthday and it was her first time. She absolutely loved it as well.

We had not been to J. Alexander's in a few years (too busy trying new restaurants). And a friend's raving about it made me want to try it again. Hubby and I were surprised at how packed the place was on a Tuesday at noontime. It was full and buzzing with activity. We were seated promptly and got a lovely server, Gina. We tried the fried calamari rings appetizer, which was so good I could have just eaten the entire plate of squid all by myself for lunch. Hubby got a steak burger, which boasted tenderloin and ribeye. I opted for my friend Scott's favorite meal, Mr. Jack's Crispy Chicken Platter. Both came with crispy shoestring fries. The chicken also came with a mound of delicious cole slaw. I am not a red meat lover, but the burger was very tasty and was probably my favorite of the two proteins. We shared the burger and the cole slaw, ate a few pieces of the chicken planks (tender and crispy), and left the others, along with a whole lot of fries, to take home for dinner. We also opted for a piece of carrot cake to go, we were too full to eat any more but had to try it. It was good, but hubby didn't like the coconut or nuts in it. (I liked the coconut.) Although we both liked it, we decided my carrot cake (with 1 lb. of shredded carrots in each pan, along with craisins) is better. :-) We will definitely be back, and we won't make a few years go by, no matter how many new places are on my list to try. read more

The grilled chicken salad has been coming out excellent lately with any customization that I make. This is an update.

Great food and drinks--bar is hard to get seats at but I guess that's a good problem to have except for the customers.

This restaurant was the best in the area but it has steadily gone down hill. We went there tonight and was sadly disappointed once again. This will be the very last time. I would not recommend. Don't waste your money or time. You will be disappointed, ufortunately! This place will eventually close. It is clear. How do you ruin French fries? Definitely no longer a "4" star!! read more

This place is incredible. I really enjoy coming here as a date night with my husband. There's always a wait time so I suggest making a reservation. However, even with a reservation you can still be asked to wait for your table. The food though is great. More often than not my husband and I always order a filet mignon. Our service is always great and the staff is friendly. We absolutely love the carrot cake and consider it a must try! read more

We had a team since one of the servers was being trained. Our drinks were constantly replenished without us having to ask, empty plates were quickly removed. Dinner service was excellent! The only disappointment was when we ordered coffee and dessert. Our coffees came out quickly but there was a long wait for our carrot cake. By the time we got the carrot cake our coffee was cold. I recommend that you make reservations even if they tell you that it's not needed. Luckily I made a reservation. When we got there, they were telling people there was a 45 min wait. read more

Service & Location - amazing service from the moment we entered up to when we left. Our server was very helpful in pointing out the items on the menu that we might be interested in & provided great feedback. Our table was not forgotten about whatsoever through out our meal. The restaurant is romantic yet family friendly. Very organized & well taken care of. Many options to sit in an area depending on your mood. Food - we came hungry & we ordered quite a bit for our party (but we did take some back home for some tasty leftovers). Appetizer - Smoked Salmon Dip, Deviled Eggs & Hong Kong Shrimp. All were absolutely delicious. The Smoked Salmon Dip was fresh & loved the slivers of onions mixed into the dip. The Deviled Eggs were whipped & airy with just enough seasoning to compliment the outer egg white. Topped with some sweet bacon & this was a home run on the table! The Hong Kong Shrimp (think Bang Bang Shrimp) wasn't too heavily coated so it wasn't overpowering all the other tastes. Main Meal - Steak & Fries, Prime Rib & Chicken Pasta Soup. The steak & fries were brought out hot & crispy. Seasoned just right & cooked to perfection. The Prime Rib was more than enough for 1 person so I managed to take some home which was the BEST leftovers I ever had! It was melt in your mouth buttery tasting! I was also able to save half of a baked potato which that on it's own was another meal! The Chicken Pasta Soup was a bit watery but it did not take away from the flavor. Dessert - OH MY! Bread Pudding & Very Best Chocolate Cake! I am a lover of bread pudding. While this one was quite delicious it was missing my favorite drizzle which is sweetened condensed milk. The berry preserve syrup was a nice variation. However, can we talk about this chocolate heaven Bundt cake? Warm, moist, spongy & tasty!!! One of those things that you better make sure you don't inhale it before actually fully tasting it. OH ME OH MY! Cocktail - they have several variations of an old fashion so this made me quite happy! However, and the only reason I didn't give this review 5 stars, they do not offer happy hour at this location. I was a bit bummed because we have done HH at their other location & it's great! Hoping they do offer it soon! BONUS ITEM - Rib Appetizer (yup there's one on the menu but not advertised)! We saw the platter come by to another table & just HAD TO order a portion of it! These were fantastic! A must order!!! Really great amount of food even though it's on the pricier side of things - but you cannot beat the taste, presentation & LEFTOVERS! I know I sound like a broken record! read more

Honestly, I'm really surprised I've never tried this place before. I was craving a burger and my girlfriend told me that this place makes the best fries since they are thin instead of a potato cut into four. Oh man was she right. A good burger is a sign of a good steak house so I can't wait to come back for the steak and fries. The waitress was really friendly and was super attentive. The establishment was not only clean but laid back and a nice atmosphere to hang out or for a date night. This place gives Kaluz a run for their money ! read more

Love J. Alexander's! Food is always spot-on and the vibe is always fun! Was there on Saturday night and one thing we thought was a miss was that there were 6 of us at a semi circle table. One of us ordered wine. When one of the runners brought the wine, she just put it down in the middle of the table instead of asking who had the wine. Thought that was very unusual. read more

J's is purely amazing. Came here for a happy hour with co-workers and this place did not disappoint. When you walk in you have a big area and the hostess is there to welcome you in. The place is somewhat dim but decorated nicely with lights all around. You have a view of the bar and the kitchen which is really cool because you see them making the food fresh. They had Mahi Mahi as their catch of the day. It comes with 2 sides - I chose the loaded smashed potatoes and the butternut squash. The sauce on top was light creamy and had capers on top the fish was grilled perfectly and tasted amazing. The loaded smashed potatoes have actual chunks of bacon on it, some pieces are really crispy and gave the potatoes a nice crunch. They give you a big serving of potatoes which is great. Now the butternut squash was beyond amazing it had cinnamon on top and it paired perfectly with the Mahi and the potatoes. One piece was a bit undercooked but that's ok! Still a great plate overall. Staff really believes in teamwork everyone comes around grabbing plates, asking if you need anything and just overall very attentive. Such a nice place to visit. Can't wait to come back! read more

I've been a loyal customer here for years and eat here almost every week, but today's experience was unacceptable. We came in on a Sunday at 3 PM with a party of seven. The hostess told us to wait 45 minutes to be seated. Fine. Then another hostess suddenly told us we couldn't be seated for the rest of the night. So which is it? No apology. No explanation. No effort to fix it. Just total disorganization and zero respect for customers' time. 4 hostess' working at the same time, all saying something different. Had to leave and go to Kaluz. Do better. read more

Prime Rib is why we go here, today we ordered the prime upgraded from standard 12 oz to add 3oz = 15oz , a thicker cut. The order was for a temperature of medium rare, while the cooking temp seemed correct, the fatty content of the meat seemed extra lean, which made the meat tougher than normally expected for a prime rib. The house salad, with Blue cheese, very large, enough to share The Craft Ale beer from local brewery Funky Buddha was nice. The mound of smashed potatoes were exceptional. The hot carrot cake w/ frosting always good. Ambiance lighting is cozy & nice, but could not hear any music, because of the busy noise dining room, annoying to hear the next table loud conversations. Service is attentive. read more

One of the greatest steaks I've had and it's super close to me. I would leave the review at that if I could! The staff was super friendly and we were seated almost as soon as we walked in by some friendly hostesses! The interior of the restaurant is very nice and they have a central seating location as well as a couple steps uo and then more booths around the edges of the place. The lighting is very nice and it's the perfect spot between bright and dim. Our waitress was super friendly and took our orders super fast. We decided to get the deviled eggs for an appetizer. They were heavenly and the bacon bit one the top was sweet and gave it a nice crunch. The filling was light as well and flavorful without being too creamy. For my main, I ordered the steak and fries, medium rare. It came out rather quick, cooked PERFECTLY. The steak cut beautifully and the butter sauce they use on top was divine. Everything about it was superb and I even had leftovers because of how big it was. For dessert we got the carrot cake. It was amazing and now I see why it's their best selling. It took a little to receive but that's because it was as if it was cooked personally. It was so moist and the flavor was wonderful with the nuts and shredded carrots in it. The frosting on top rounded it out perfectly! read more

Had an excellent lunch here with my son and I'm already looking forward to going back! We started with the deviled eggs which were very good and I had the French dip and he had the steak 'n fries. My French dip was one of the best I've ever had. It was loaded with rare roast beef and it had some horseradish sauce on it. The au jus for dipping was perfectly seasoned and so delicious. It came with a pile (literally a pile) of shoestring fries that was perfectly seasoned and crispy. My son really enjoyed his steak and it was cooked to the perfect temperature. We both ended up bringing half of our meals home. For dessert we ordered the carrot cake which was served warm. This was the best carrot cake I've ever eaten, the cream cheese frosting was to die for! It was such a huge piece we ended up taking most of it home for later. The service was good, our water glasses were kept full and dirty dishes taken off the table pretty quickly. Prices were reasonable, what you'd expect for a great quality meal. read more

Well J Alexander's never disappoints. It was my daughter's birthday had a reservation for 7:00 and was seated quickly. Ordered a few martinis which were made perfectly. We started with a salmon dip that was very tasty. I ordered Cypress Salad with crispy chicken, avocado with cornbread croutons so yummy. My husband ordered the prime rib with mash potatoes. Cooked to perfection pink and moist. Potatoes were buttery and piled high. Lastly the birthday girl ordered Palermo chicken which was fried with goat cheese sun dried tomatoes served with Couscous and broccoli. For dessert we shared a slice of their famous carrot cake served warm and fresh. So good!!!!! Service was spot on. My husband had to take a phone call outside and his dish was getting cold. Server offered to remake meal if it was too cold when he returned. (So nice. We didn't) the waitress came around often to check on us and was very nice. The ambience is very warm and inviting and the booth was very comfortable and private. Would definitely return. read more

Who knew that I would love this place? My team gave me a gift card for my birthday in June and I didn't make it there until October! The service was top notch and the vibe in the restaurant was very chic and chill. We had the deviled eggs as our appetizer. They were perfect! For my main course, I had the baby back ribs with the NYO mac and cheese and coleslaw. The ribs were tender and delicious, with a light and mildly sweet fruit based bbq sauce. Mmmmmm! The NYO (Not Your Ordinary) mac and cheese was also very good. The coleslaw was perfectly done. Very fresh and the dressing was light and sweet without being overpowering. So so good! My bf had the Tuscan steak special that had a garlic and rosemary sauce. He asked for it well and even well it was juicy and delicious. Oh and I had a pear martini. So good! We'll be back! read more

I came here on a Thursday night after work with my room mate because we were craving a martini. I have heard about this spot from friends and co workers for years and had never actually made it there. When we arrived it was busy but we were able to get into a bar table. I had a dirty martini and she had a lavandar one. I liked mine but loved the olives. When the waitress came over she told us the daily specials and we opted to get one of the speacials which was the salmon dip. It came out in 2 mins and it was was a cold salmon dip. I thought it was okay I kept saying how I wished that it was baked and had cheese on top. I want to come back and have an actual meal but I wasn't impressed with the specialty appetizer. read more

Definitely make a reservation. The place was busy. Our friends arrived and waited in their car for our meeting time to get closer to reserve a table just before us arrived. They found out when they went in, it would be an hour wait. So we waited the hour va going somewhere else. The bar was packed. Our waitress was super hyped and excited about telling us about the specials. I forgot her name unfortunately. The place is loud however once seated, we were able to hear each other. The food was good. Everyone enjoyed what they had. Ribs, salads, baked potatoes, fish all great! The creamed spinach was not edible. It was awful. We enjoy creamed spinach and this was not it. One bite and I knew not to eat it. The server removed it off the bill. I let her know about the terrible flavor, however she said she asked the kitchen and this was their special they made. Hopefully they work on that, or try it themselves. Our server was outgoing, and attentive. This restaurant has something for everyone. Enjoy! read more

This chain restaurant located in Plantation, offers American fare in a contemporary space with a large bar. We started with cocktails Pear Martini $16 and Lemon Drop $16. I like that they do not fill to the top and instead puts the remainder drink in a chilled glass. For appetizer we shared the Spinach Queso $17. It was too liquid and too expensive. We shared the Grilled Salmon with mashed potatoes $32 and a $3 sharing fee dividing into two plates. It was good. I miss the honey crescent roll days. Nice atmosphere. read more

They're doing a great job here. As an often solo business traveler, I sit at the bar for dinner a lot, and the staff here understands how to get a drink in your hand fast, unlike so many other places that don't understand how to make money and happy people. Food is uniformly excellent, as is the service. One night when I wasn't especially hungry I ordered the Thai Kai salad and it was really outstanding. Very nice contemporary wood and leather interior, very comfortable. Highly recommend. read more
