Well, I must say, as many times I have passed this place, I should have stopped a long time ago. I ate here for the first time today for a meeting, and I had a veggie burger with fries. The fries were perfectly cooked and salted especially for shoes string fries as I call them and the veggie burger had this perfect crisp/char that reminded me of the burgers I would get off the grill in the summer time as a little kid. Thank you to the cook there that knows what it means to have a perfectly perfect veggie burger with all the fixings. Well done!

The prime rib was massive. Got the 20 oz . Mac and cheese had a smokey flavor. Nice crunch on top. They really get people in and out quickly. They have it dialed in. The parking lot is a little limited. Great service.

Went in on a Sunday late lunch. Looked busy, but only had to wait around five minutes to be seated. Waitress was attentive to us, refilled our cups around the halfway mark without even asking, and was keeping up with the other tables. Lighting is a little low but adds to the ambiance. Food came out at a good pace, and I wasn't waiting for too long for each plate to come out. Loved my alex salad, and my NY strip was cooked perfectly. Would recommend

Great food and service! We made reservations and we were seated at exactly our reservation time. The food exceeded our expectations. The salomon was near perfect and the same with the ribeye. The server was prompt and social. Highly recommended giving this a try. It is on the expensive side so we will save it for special occasions.

We drove from Dearborn, MI down to Toledo, OH for a little road trip ending at J Alexander’s for dinner. The decor is modern and rather dark and plain but the food is delicious! The Steak Burger I ordered Med Well and it was perfect! The grilled onions were hiding under the meat which seems strange but still gave the burger a great flavor. It had that char grilled smoky taste. Yum! I swapped the fries for the smashed red skin potatoes. They were good and a generous portion but a bit on the salty side. Our waitress was attentive but not overly so. Great experience.

Food was amazing strip steak perfect medium rare and nice and tender, inside was nose and cozy and had a sort of good vibe to it, but the service was a little rough, the waiter asked if I was done with my food 10 minutes after I got it, and she never came back to fill drinks. Would recommend be be careful with the service

I love this place. Is it pricey? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes. The service is always professional, the atmosphere is excellent (nice music playing, real plants in the washrooms), and the food is consistently superb. I also appreciate that they don't use disposable cups for condiments.

Webster’s dictionary defines perfection as… some sort of nonsense because it does not explicitly say “Dinner at J Alexander’s with Reece as your server.” We all work hard for our money and nights out are sometimes rare and exceedingly special, so when the food or service is not up to par it can be a disastrous let down. Luckily, my wife and I have found the perfect antidote to this devastating disappointment. Simply make a reservation at J’s and request Reece as your server. As fantastic and delectable as the food was, Reece surpassed our expectations even more than the elegant dishes he served us. Pure professionalism with a genuine smile and a sense that he really cared about our satisfaction, instead of just suggesting the most expensive thing on the menu. These types of selfless and empathic servers, or any salesman working on commission, are exceedingly rare and absolutely deserve to be recognized. Joan, the Front of House Manager, was similarly attentive and courteous. After speaking with her, it made complete sense why the service was so excellent because with someone like her training your employees there’s a slim chance you’ll be disappointed in any way. Thank you Reece. We were coming out to celebrate the life of someone who was taken too soon, and your kind and wholesome demeanor helped us enjoy a meal in Roger’s honor. It really meant a lot to both of us, and we both cannot wait to come back and sit in your section again. You seriously cannot go wrong choosing J’s for a meal for any occasion. It is the perfect balance between posh and laid back, and the kitchen staff and bartenders are so darn good you will leave with only one regret… and that is that you aren’t hungry enough to have another meal. Thank you for the amazing experience and and we both cannot wait to see you again, the sooner the better!
