Elegant dining, food is top notch as well as the service. They have the best carrot cake that you will ever encounter. Salads are always fresh, pork loin is amazing. I don’t think there’s really anything you can go wrong with here. Everything on the menu is absolutely splendid.. I never knew they had sourdough bread and butter, but you can request it 😊❤️

We celebrated my daughter's birthday at J.Alexander's near Hamilton Place Mall, and I have to say their carrot cake is one of the best I've ever had—rich, creamy, and a must-try for any dessert lover. The menu also offers a great variety of options for vegetarians, and the other dishes we tried were pretty good as well. It’s a fantastic spot for special occasions or just a sweet treat!

Ate here last night. Food and service was amazing. Waiter kept our glasses full the whole time and recommend good dishes for both me and my mother. Even with both of our crazy food allergies. The only slight ding that I can say about it was that it was just a tad bit dark in there but that's how it's supose to be so I'm not really complaining about it. All in all. Will be eating here again.

Went here on a Saturday around 5pm. It took a little while for our server to get to us but when she did, Roxanne did an amazing job. She knew the menu well and constantly checked on our table, she even boxed up our meal for us when it was time to go. She recommended the chilli and we chose the Salmon Dip for our appetizers. Both were delicious, the Salmon was exceptionally good. I did swap out the bread for chips, but the bread wasn't bad. For the mains, we got the Rotisserie Chicken and the Rattlesnake Pasta. The chicken was great and the mac n' cheese was as they say "bussin". The Rattlesnake pasta was "ok", I expected something spicier but it failed to deliver any heat. It wasn't bad at all, just not what my taste buds were expecting based on the description. Overall this was a great experience and we will return in the future. If you like taking food pics and haven't been here make sure they seat you in a well lit part of the restaurant, if not your pics will suck.

We recently dined at J. Alexander's and had an overall wonderful experience. The host staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, setting the tone for the evening. Our server, Richard, greeted us promptly and provided attentive service throughout our meal, although at times his soft-spoken voice made it a bit challenging to hear him. We started with the spinach queso, which was a delightful beginning to our meal. The shrimp tacos were also quite good, offering a nice balance of flavors. However, the standout dishes were the Rattlesnake Pasta, which was absolutely delicious, and the carrot cake, which was the best we’ve ever had. Thank you, J. Alexander’s, for a memorable dining experience!

Always has very good CONSISTENT, food and service. Can tell the wait staff is well trained and always quick service. Steps of service are always tight, and there is a good balance of getting food quickly but not feeling rushed. We like to come here for anniversaries and birthdays and are never disappointed. No criticism here. Keep up the good work.
