J. Alexander's Corporation

Pros: Terrific service, good food
Cons: Portions too large

I have had the pleasure of visiting J. Alexander in 3 different locations. All 3 restaurants compare very well. All are contemporary in decor with a trendy feeling. The staff is well trained to smile, and make you feel welcome from the time you enter...

Pros: Terrific service, good food
Cons: Nothing

J. Alexander’s is set in a friendly, darkness, and passionate environment. I like the fact that you can see the kitchen and the chefs. The furnishings are very modern with a stylish touch.

Appetizers:
PICO DE GALLO SALSA...

Pros: great place
Cons: none

my husband and I live 2 miles from J. Alexander's in Memphis. This is the best restaurant in the area. Sure we have lots of restaurants but service and quality do not compare to this chain. Portions are very generous and usually have enough to bring...

Pros: Atmosphere, quality, quantity, price
Cons: none

Have you ever been afraid to go to a new restaurant? Especially when you don't really go out to eat that often? This is me. When I DO dine out I want to be sure I am going to enjoy. That is why my son gave me a gift certificate last year. He really...

Pros: Service service service
Cons: A bit expensive

Others have talked on the great tasting food J Alexanders serves. Its true. Everything they make it made from scratch. They have no house dressing on their salads because all of them are made from scratch. But this is for everything on the menu. And you...

Pros: Everything
Cons: None

Saturday was my birthday. My husband and I decided to drop the girls off at Grandma's for the night. We wanted to go out for dinner. We decided to go somewhere that served cocktails instead of "happy meals". This doesn't happen very often, as...

Pros: You get a lot of food, romantic environment, excellent wait staff
Cons: it's going to cost you.

On Tuesday March 2002, I was in Nashville, TN for a business trip. After the seminar was over, myself and 2 business partners went to the Cool Springs Mall area to grab some dinner.

Attendees: Me, Tag, [Shane and Melody (h & w)]

We...

Pros: Great service, good selection of menu items without being overwhelming, amazing stock
Cons: I have to drive an hour to get there.

I had never heard of J. Alexander's until a couple of months ago when a radio station took me to the Baton Rouge, Louisiana location to woo me. I was immediately impressed with the atmosphere...and the wonderful smells that hit me right when I walked i ...

Pros: Great tasting food, generous dessert and drink portions
Cons: Can get pretty expensive

J. Alexander's is a great restaurant! I was introduced to this restaurant by a business colleague about a year ago. The atmosphere is very nice, and the food was terrific.

I have been to J. Alexander's three times so far. Each time I...

Pros: Service, Food, Price
Cons: None

When I first went to J. Alexander's I didn't realize that it was a chain restaurant. I was incredibly please with both my meal and the service I received. I was even more impressed with the restaurant once I learned that it is a chain; it just doesn't...

Pros: Great food, service and quality
Cons: Only 20 locations nationwide

I was very surprised to realize J. Alexander's is a chain restaurant. Why? Because it carries the quality of an independent, well maintained establishment.

I have only been to one J. Alexander location so far, but the interior was very...

Pros: Great Food, Great Atmosphere, Great Service
Cons: Sometimes a Long Wait

I'd never heard of it until they opened a restaurant in Worthington (outside of Columbus, Ohio). It is now one of our favorite places to eat. J. Alexander's describe themselves as Contemporary American and serve wonderful steaks, salads, pasta,...

Pros: Good food and great customer service.
Cons: J.Alexander's is not located everywhere. Also, they may get busy at times especially on the weekends, so I'd definitely make a reservation if at all possible.

I've only heard about J.Alexander's in some restaurant publication, and when we had a chance to go to one in San Antonio while on a business trip, I couldn't pass it up. Here's what I thought about the place.....

Pros: Just like Houston's
Cons: Just like Houston's

If you've know the well-regarded chain Houston's you'll know J. Alexanders. "Invented" literally a block away from one another on West End Avenue in Nashville, these two chain restaurants share most menu items, similar philosophies regarding...

Pros: Portions, Taste, Value, Service!
Cons: A belly so full it hurts ; )

I loved this place the moment I stepped in. The atmosphere is wonderfully relaxing and snazzy with a cool dark russian lodge, jazz feel. Enough about how great their huge booths are, How's the food? Oh Momma! Great portions, Good prices. Usually Prices...
