Go here all the time and love it. Except this one time. I placed an order through DoorDash and when I received our food and had already eaten majority of it I later found a maggot in my artichoke. I called the restaurant to notify them and the lady who answered did not seem the slightest of concerned and just told me to cancel my order through DoorDash. Gave me a very small apology. Was not expecting this at all. I understand accidents happen and usually would not leave a review like this but the way this was handled left me here leaving this. read more

J. Alexander's - Bug. - New American Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

J. Alexander's has been at the Quarry for a number of years now, and is probably a bit underappreciated. Their steaks stand up against specialized steakhouses, but they have a broader menu with salads, seafood, and appetizers--you can bring a group of diverse generations and tastes, and just about everyone will have a good time. The bar and patio are more laid back and have TVs for following sports. Try popping in during a slow hour for a piece of carrot cake and just enjoy life. read more

This would be a definite no. It's overrated and over priced. The comfort cafe is a much better option.

Everything about this place is "okay". The food is "okay" and the service is "okay". We were hardly checked on at all by our server. He never came by to ask us about our drinks and food. The only time he came after taking our order was for to-go boxes and the check. Given the high price of everything on the menu, you would think you'd be given great service. It's not the case at all. You're better off getting better service from a Chili's read more

My fiancé and I had a late valentines date here and J Alexanders did not disappoint. It was our first time there and I'm so glad we finally tried it out! Not sure why nobody talks about this place?! The ambiance is so chill, relaxing, low lighting and sound perfect for dates. Beautiful and clean, hostesses and waitresses were very friendly too. Service was speedy and food was hot and delicious! We read the prime rib was good and we'd never tried it before. They accommodated our picky appetites and got both of our steaks halved so we could easily have half of each (prime rib & ribeye). Btw, the ribeye that's not "Hawaiian" is not listed but is available , just ask. It's SO DELICIOUS. I wasn't a fan of the prime rib but that's a me problem, not a JA problem. My fiancé loved it. Everything was cooked to perfection. The NYO Mac and cheese was the perfect side. We added a side of fries to share and it was humongous as you can see from pics- not sure if that was an extra charge for such a huge side but we didn't need that much and couldn't finish them lol ! Our appetizer was deviled eggs and I couldn't have asked for better. Overall I loved everything, and we will definitely be returning to try more ! read more

Celebrated 2 occasions Valentine's Day and My sons birthday. He requested a steak dinner. We arrived at the restaurant at 4pm. Since it was a holiday we figured we beat the dinner crowd. Table of 4 was readily available. The ambiance was definitely a vibe. Restaurant was clean and the staff was attentive and friendly. We made it through service without a hitch! Started off with the Deviled Eggs and Spinach Queso accompanied by a pico de gallo. Delicious! The queso was piping hot, chips were thin and crispy. The deviled eggs were a hit with my family. They were a combination of smoky sweet and savory flavor. I prefer the filling a bit Creamier but still a flavorful appetizer. They came in a order of 6. We also shared 2 Caesar salads. Serving was definitely large enough. Lettuce was crisp and chilled,lightly coated dressing and house made croutons. I had the soup of the day, chicken pasta soup. Very creamy broth and filled with bite size veggies. I was able to identify mushrooms, carrots, celery, green beans, bits of chicken and pasta. I asked for a side of bread or crackers. I was given a plate of 4 slices of very fresh sourdough bread and 2 pads of butter with herbs. Really enjoyed it. Hubby had a steak burger which I read on menu that the steak is ground up daily. The burger was definitely juicy and beautifully cooked to perfection. We asked for fries to be extra crispy and they delivered. My son had steak and fries. Now we asked for medium and it did come back more on the well side. However, there is a disclaimer that some marinated meats might come out that way. Nevertheless it was tender, juicy and full of flavor. My daughter ordered the cilantro shrimp. The portion is huge! A grilled shrimp skewer over a bed of rice with a heaping side of coleslaw. We also enjoyed a princess duchess cocktail. Not sure if it's on regular menu but it was a fragrant sparkling cocktail. Very cute and dainty. Although the experience and the food was good it was a bit pricey. Definitely will come back on a date night! read more

I would say 3.5. My wife and I wanted a place that had prime rib and we remembered we had been there a few years ago and they had it so we tried it out. We arrived early and had a couple of drinks at the bar. 13$ each for a bourbon and coke. We were seated and Meredith was our server. She did a fantastic job and was very attentive, talkative and informative. We had the fish dip appetizer and it was good. The caesar salad was ok but I prefer mine with more zing to it. Kind of dull. The prime rib cooked perfectly, but taste wise was just ok. I have had better. The horse radish and au jus were diluted down and not a lot of flavor. The smashed potatoes were really, really good. We ended up with the chocolate cake for dessert and it was good. read more

Just not my cup of tea as a picky eater so nothing wrong at all with the service it's simply just my opinion! Although they did have an AMAZING carrot cake, still thinking about it till this day read more

I guess I was expecting a good steak house but it turned out to just be meh. I ordered the steak fries which is a classic and of course medium rare, that was not the case (a full fledged medium for sure) fries were good but would have been better if they were doubled fried. The bartender was awesome, she was very attentive and quick to help everyone truly big props (wish I remembered her name). Ambiance was a great place if you like to yell to talk and point to get what you want. Not a fan. Overall might be for some but for what one pays you expect better. read more

The older I get the more I dislike restaurants where you need a flashlight to see the menu. It's ok to go up a notch in the lightbulb wattage without ruining the ambiance. If you have vision problems, you've been warned. Anyway, service was great as usual. Food was good, but mine wasn't anything to brag about. I ordered the prime rib and it lacked flavor, way too bland for my taste buds. It was also served slightly under room temperature which is not cool since this is a fatty cut of meat. They were also stingy on the serving size of the broccoli, needless to say I was still hungry. I cannot write this review with mentioning the roasted chicken. It is the best roasted chicken I've tasted. So succulent and flavorful and paired with the amazing orzo pasta... Good Grief!!! The key lime pie was worth every single calorie, it's big enough to share, but who shares desserts!?! read more

This is the second time I have been here - the last time was about 10 years ago. The service is great, and the place is pretty swank. But the food just isn't that great and definitely not worth the price. I had the Steak Brazzo; chopped up pieces of marinated filet mignon mushrooms covered in a brown Madeira wine sauce with "Smashed Potatoes." The steak left a lot to be desired; the meat was just so-so, and the Madeira sauce was really just like a bland brown gravy. The "Smashed Potatoes" were good - a huge serving of mashed potatoes and carbs with some tater skins and grated parmesan cheese mixed in. This little gem was $29, and I can honestly say I have had much better steak at Texas Roadhouse and Saltgrass - seriously (and for a few dollars less). And the service is just as good at each of these establishments. The bar scene was cool - we hung out there for a while we waited to be seated - draft beer was $6.50 - ouch! Sorry J. Dog - but it will be another 10 years before I will be back. It was an enjoyable night out, but the food just isn't worth the price. read more

We looked up a steak place and found this. My fiancé and I shared a ribeye special. It was a 14 ounce so each one of us having 7 ounces was perfect. The chef divided our plates in half which made it a lot easier. Delicious adult alcohol beverages. read more

This is our go to regular restaurant for lunch and dinner. Menu is not extensive but their recipes are solid and the kitchen usually hits the mark. The service is always above average but sometimes annoying as inexperienced wait staff will interrupt a conversation to ask you "How is everything?" instead of reading the table. I wish they had lower waiter turnover as I rarely get waited on by the same server although they share the service delivery duties which means you are always getting your food promptly and hot! Best martinis in town! Best steaks and carrot cake! read more

For my birthday, we enjoyed awesome prime rib. the service was great and we were seated on time for our reservation. A thunderstorm arrived as we were exiting withe the rain very heavy. my wife uses a walker and I use a cane. My son pulled our vehicle up close to the entrance and the girls up front obtained a large umbrella and first took my wife to the car, returned to escort my daughter in law and finally myself to the vehicle. The help was greatly appreciated and kept us from getting totally soaked. I don't know the names of the two young ladies working the front desk at about approximately 7 PM Friday April 28, but management should be very proud of them and the extra service they provided to us! Bruce Yarbrough Pleasanton, Texas read more

For appetizers, we got the deviled eggs and Mexico City spinach con queso. The con queso was tasty and they gave us another bowl of chips when we ran out. The deviled egg was okay flavor-wise. For my entree, I had the Asian ahi tuna salad. The ahi tuna was very good. It is served with a salad that is primarily lettuce and fried wonton strips. The flavor of the dressing was quite good, but I'd say there was a 50/50 ratio between the fried strips and lettuce. I'd prefer more greens and fewer fried strips. It is pretty pricey here. I may give it another go and see what else is on the menu in the future. But for now, my experience was just okay. The service was attentive and personable. read more

J. Alexander's - Steak was cooked perfectly and wonderful service - New American Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

A little pricey but food was nice. The service was good people where pleasant. The restaurant was nice and clean.

Went in to check out the bar and was pleasantly surprised all 3 bartenders were on it!!! It was pretty busy but did not interfere with the service or the pour. I had the skinny Margarita it was outstanding & I think it was lemon drop mojito I Do not typically like sweet cocktails but this was just the right amount of sweet & SSOO REFRESHING! I brought home a "French Dip," Sandwich which fffaaarrr from what I typically consume! My husband & shared it and It did not disappoint! Love J. Alexander's stop in for a cocktail or one of their AMAZN' steaks, it's Sure to Please! read more

I'll preface by saying it was Tuesday night (election day) and around 7:30, so not very busy: we were a party of 4, one who was walking with a cane. The hostess offered us a booth but we asked for a table, so rather than putting us at the larger table in that area, she took us further into the restaurant, up a few stairs and sat us at a 4-top. Fine, but why? The restaurant was VERY dark. We all ordered the same thing: prime rib sandwich. It was not hot. And very tough, hard to eat without looking like an animal. The French fries were good. The waiter was very friendly and attentive. Although he did forget to bring one of the desserts, but that was probably for the best. I will return to J Alexander's but I was somewhat disappointed in this trip. read more

This was my my first visit to San Antonio's J. Alexander's. First off walking in I was immediately greeted by two really nice hostess. They knew about our large party coming in and invited me to hang out at the bar. The bar area is small with nice comfy chairs and our drink Orders were taken right away. I ordered the Lemon drop and it was delicious and strong I only had one and it did its job. If I was not driving I would have had more . We were seated shortly after arriving. Our server Katherine was really attentive and patient with our large group . I ordered the steak and fries . My steak was cooked perfectly and the food came out nice and hot. I took some to go so my mom could see how yummy it was . I will be back for another girls night or family dinner . Kudos to the staff!! read more

Came here to eat and get some work done. The salad was decent. The service was not great. I had to keep asking for refills on my tea and she just stopped coming after the second one. The table was my biggest issue it was SO STICKY that my papers kept sticking to the table. I think this place could use a good scrub down. I finally laid my napkin on the table so I could move my papers. Just not appetizing at all! read more

This isn't a restaurant that I would think to frequent, but my friend likes it, so I have been there twice. They have good food, but it is just a little bit pricey for a random meal. They don't have happy hour either. This time around I had the Caesar's salad. It wasn't anything special. My friend had the cypress salad and that looked amazing. She said it was very good. Their drinks are pretty good. The English martini came with an extra small carafe. They have some amazing desserts. The carrot cake we shared was warm, soft and with the right amount of sweetness. On a Wednesday night, the restaurant was pretty busy. We were seated immediately, but we did see bigger parties waiting. Parking is available read more

Good service. Lacked basic table salt. I could taste the steak but it wasn't adequately seasoned. Steak Tacos same deal, no salt at all.

Delicious Perfectly seasoned and cooked . The lemon drop was smooth and mixed well. The hostesses were very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant has a great location and lots of parking.

I was on military duty and didn't have time to go through the whole process. read more

Took my girlfriend for dinner here and I haven't been here in years so I was hoping it was good as I remember and I wasn't disappointed! We got a salad each and honestly they were huge. We shared the steak and fries and the steak wasn't the best ever but for the price and for it being a 10oz it was worth it. THE FRIES ARE AMAZING!!!! The only bad thing was the wait time but other than that great spot for drinks and a nice dinner! read more

Service was quick, drinks were great, the food was great. The 2 stars is due to them throwing away our steak when they had offered to pack it to go. Our daughter ate less than half of her NY strip and barely touched her side. They offered to put her food in a to go container for us and after we paid and inquired about it we were told it got tossed. To remedy the situation they offered us a free dessert. ( we had already ordered and paid for another dessert at this point). It was essentially $45 thrown away. read more

Service was slow and not great. My Filet Mignon (ordered med rare) was served to me med well. It took 30 minutes for a replacement. My husband was finished eating by the time my meal came. There was no apology and no one came by to see if the replacement was better. It was cooked med rare, but flavorless and had the texture of beef jerky. We will never eat there again. I would never recommend this to anyone. read more

I am on the fence with this one. We came here for a family birthday. We had reservations for 14 and we were assured we could push tables together so we could sit as a group. They opened at 11:00 our reservations were at 11:15 and we could not sit as a group because they gave one table away to a party of three. (Not a great start). They made up for it with several free appetizers. Service was good. Food was so so. I had the steak burger. It was ok but I was not impressed. She had the Rattlesnake Pasta and it was meh. Maybe we ordered the wrong items. Other people in our group said their items were good. IDK read more

Went here with a large party of 14 and wish they took reservations for large groups we had to sit at two round tables. Mostly our group enjoyed their food while my experience was not the best. The waitress we had was nice there is a lot I can say about my experience here but I will say I was not satisfied. I was willing to pay for my food because I did not want to be problematic but the waitress said since my order didn't come out right the second they did not have a check for me. I really did appreciate that especially since I was not happy with my food. I wish I had a better experience food wise but I did enjoy my dining experience with my friends! read more

Quite a gem that isn't really advertised in the Quarry area. My wife and I had one of the best waitresses in any establishment in many, many months (Julissa) she made some excellent suggestions on seafood where I had the hake and my wife enjoyed the prime rib. I tried some of hers, and It was the best prime rib I have had in over a decade if not ever. Their calamari is a smash hit as well. While the grilled artichoke's we were. not a fan of, our waitress made sure we were happy and had it taken off the bill. If you have dessert here make sure you try the carrot cake. It is a better dessert than even Whiskey cake at La Cantera. read more
