I made a reservation for my birthdaywe were seated promptly and in a timely manner. Our server took our drink orders and when drinks arrived only 2 out of 7 drinks came, we ordered appetizers then waited about another 10 mins for the other 5 drinks to arrive. Once they arrived we placed entree orders, one of my guest tasted her drink and it did not taste as described by the waiter but he never came back to check on the table. I went to the host stand to ask for him, and he appeared before I reached it and came and changed the drink order as requested and she also asked for a water . Our food arrived, the food runners were awesome and attentive. At this point our server did not return to check on how our food was or to refill water as requested prior to the food arrival. We ordered a medium rare steak that was actually cooked a little more than medium and someone also ordered a well done steak that was medium (we saw this could not be guaranteed so this was fine). The server finally arrived to refill our waters and the two people with issues with their food spoke to him and he took the plates back to the kitchen, once the food came back a lady brought them who I presume was a manager and she asked my guest to cut into their steak to ensure it was cooked correctly which it was, but at this point in the meal everyone else at the table was already done with their food so we had to request a to go box for the two guests who had to have their food remade. Once we received our checks we asked about the 18% gratuity that is automatically applied..the menu states it is discretionary but the waiter replied to us that it’s automatically applied to parties 6 or more and did not adjust it. This was my first time visiting the restaurant and to say it was an underwhelming experience is an understatement. There was no sense of urgency from staff, the restaurant wasn’t busy but we had to get up more than once to ask for items, even a straw for our alcoholic drink. Nothing about this visit would make me want to re visit this establishment or any other they own, If this is the service that is to be expected.

This was not my first time with the brand but it was for this location. This location is brand new and you can notice it since everything is well thought. Decor is more modern than the Quarry one. Everything from the restrooms, the staff and service has the wow factor. Food is delicious as always and very tasty. Definitely coming back. Well done!

Loved J. Alexander’s. You have to try the pear Martini. The Thai salad is delish, as well as the queso appetizer. Plenty of parking. You can also eat at the bar, if you choose.

You got to try fire grilled artichoke, Kai Thai salad, old fashioned cheeseburger, and French pressed coffee. They are simply the best!!!

Very nice inside. We sat at the bar due to the long wait for regular dining, which was fine because we enjoy that environment too. The drinks were good, pricey of course. We were bummed that the pork tenderloin was out, but we definitely want to try it next time. I had the steak and fries and asked for medium well but it came out extremely overly well done. It was dry and hard to chew so not the best meal. I’d expect more for a restaurant with this reputation. Still looking forward to coming back and trying other meals.

Now this is a steak restaurant. Real smoke flavor, like I smoked it at home. Holy cow. They took great care of us for a birthday celebration. Definitely going back, worth every penny. I’ve never had guacamole at a steak restaurant either but it was huge and delicious. Very big portions, be careful with your sides.

I’m not going to lie, I was disappointed with my steak. Should’ve stuck with my trusty ribeye and I made the mistake of going lean with the strip steak…won’t happen again. After discussing their note on the menu witg the waitress about ” how they will not recommend or guarantee any meat ordered medium-well or above”, I ordered my steak medium, and it was pretty much Medium-well to well. Could’ve been the cut, but it just was not as juicy (is juiceless a word?) and tender as a $40 steak should be, but I wasn’t paying so… n the bright side, the mac n cheese was absolutely delicious, highly recommend it! We did order a side of fries which were amazing as well as the Mexico spinach queso dip which was also a hit. The table was split with half ordering salads (Thai Kai & Southern) and seemed pleased with them. Mom raved about the burger and my niece was happy with her roasted chicken (w au jus?). Alll in all it’s a lovely place which verges on elegant but still casual. Great attentive server who timed out food, appetizers perfectly to match everyone’s arrival, conversations, etc. I’d like to come back and try something else off their varied menu. On a side note, it was funny the discussion we had leading up to our meal was how this location had opened up as REDLANDS Grill maybe a year ago, and now has quietly removed all REDLANDS signage and replaced w J Alexander. Then we get our plates emblazoned with…you guessed it…”REDLANDS”. Identity crisis?

Stopped by after church for a lunch and ended up smiling the brunch menu instead. I gotta say the brunch burgers we had were phenomenal! The ceasar salad I got with mine was perfect and my wife loved the crispy breakfast taters… and the mimosas that are included with the brunch meals were good too!
