    I ordered the #4 combo with added broccoli and got it tossed in the Crab House Cajun sauce at medium spice and it was so delicious. Everything was super flavorful, and the seafood bread was amazing too. Our server was very helpful. We will definitely be coming back!

    Fantastic experience! We came to check this place out after many months of having a terrible experience at a similar concept closer to Hamburg (shaking crab) This gator bites here were sooooo good. They were soft and buttery and the honey mustard complimented it perfectly. Our boil was perfect. We shared a bag, I think it was meal option A, we had the Dungeness crab, clams, shrimp, no sausage and opted for extra potatoes and corn of course. We both had a cocktail, which were 20% off from that time (8pm) until close I believe. The drinks were great. I would like to note that i couldn't finish mine without feeling the spirits lol. You definitely get the bang for your buck! We will be back here soon!!

    This place is great, the decor is so in tune with a nautical them which I always love. I had Sweet tea and an appetizer of boudin balls. stared off with the Fried Basket of Gator Meat and fresh raw oysters. My wife had the Cajun Whole Lobster (Combo 3) consisting of Crawfish, clams, sausage with red potatoes and buttered corn on the cob. They also offered Chicken Wings in Cajun and BBQ options. The Cajun Fried Rice is a excellent side along with Boudin Balls. For dessert you have to try the Tiramisu, it is out of this world . The service was attentive and quick. If you are in town this ai great lunch spot.

    A group of us went here and asked to be seated in the pasta room. We learned while we were there…read morethey would not be making pasta until later that day, so that was disappointing. But the food was so good! I had been there once before, shortly after opening, and thought it was so-so. But the 2nd visit was a much better experience. Since we had a large group, we sampled each other's dishes and everything was delicious. The burrata appetizer was really good. I had the "make me something sweet" mocktail and it was pretty and tasted refreshing. Our server was top notch and explained every dish on the menu, and gave us recommendations. He really took his time with us, and you could tell he was a pro. More excited to return after this second visit than after the first! 11/26

    First off, wait staff was very nice. Drinks from the bar were okay, definitely not the worst…read morechocolate martini I've ever had but definitely not the best. For our appetizer, we had the beef tartare, it was also just okay. We didn't even finish half of it. The star of the dish was the rye crisp, unfortunately. For our entree we had the baked rigatoni and the pork tenderloin. The pork tenderloin dish was delicious and so was the rigatoni. That was a plus. It was extremely loud in the restaurant. Be prepared to yell at your table partner. Between the amount of people talking loudly (I assume to attempt to talk over the loud music) and the music, and being seated really near other people, having a conversation was difficult. So don't go with anyone who is hard of hearing with background noise (my husband lol). Food took a little longer than what I'd prefer to come out. The restaurant itself had a great vibe and decorations were cute.

This visit marked our third time at OBC Kitchen, and once again, it did not disappoint. This time we experimented with timing and booked an early reservation at 2:45 pm on a Saturday. We crossed over into the dinner menu and discovered something wonderful: the service and ambiance were even better than the busier evening hours after 6 pm. The staff was exceptionally attentive. Every dish and cocktail option was explained thoughtfully, which I appreciate, especially because I enjoy cocktails that come with a bit of theater. When drinks are presented with care, described well, and executed beautifully, the experience becomes part performance, part craft. Here, they delivered perfectly. The food, as always, was superb. We shared several chef selections including Beef Tallow Fries, Southern Grouper, Bacon in a Glass, and the Cola-Braised Short Ribs. Each dish was rich, flavorful, and confidently executed. Dessert continued the celebration with the Churro Cheesecake, and to our delight we were also gifted the Warm Buttermilk Donuts, which felt like a small act of culinary generosity. In a departure from my usual Manhattan and Old Fashioned flights, I tried a Bloody Mary and The Cure, both excellent and beautifully balanced. At this point I can confidently say OBC Kitchen is one of my favorite restaurants in the country. The consistency, creativity, and hospitality make every visit memorable. A special thank you to the team who took care of us on Saturday, March 7th, 2026. You elevated an already wonderful experience and made it even better than usual.

    We had an absolutely fantastic evening at J. Alexander's in Lexington, celebrating both a birthday…read moreand a 10th anniversary in one unforgettable night. The ambiance is the perfect blend of modern sophistication and warm, cozy comfort--you really have to see (and feel) it for yourself. The service was outstanding from start to finish. Every server we encountered was polished, deeply knowledgeable about the menu, and full of spot-on recommendations. We were especially fortunate to have Richard--a manager of the restaurant personally greet us and set the tone for the evening. From the moment we walked in, his genuine warmth and attentiveness made us feel like honored guests rather than just another table. The food was nothing short of spectacular. The Maui ribeye steak--marinated to perfection and cooked exactly as ordered--was tender, juicy, and bursting with that signature sweet-savory island flavor--was one of the best steaks any of us have ever had. Equally impressive was the ahi tuna salad: beautifully seared rare tuna slices over crisp greens, drizzled with just the right amount of citrus-soy vinaigrette, and finished with crunchy wontons and avocado. Light yet completely satisfying, it was the ideal contrast to the richness of the steak. Everything about the evening--the atmosphere, the impeccable service led by Richard, and the flawless execution of dishes like the Maui steak and ahi tuna salad--made our double celebration feel truly special. We left already planning our next visit. J. Alexander's didn't just meet expectations; it exceeded them in every possible way.
