    Absolutely fantastic! The meat was juicy & seasoned well. The fries were nice and crispy.

    Lamb rice salad platter with white sauce
    Adelyn P.

    Surprisingly I really enjoyed their Halal Lamb platter with salad. I say surprisingly because I don't expect much from a food court. I hardly eat at one these days. However, I found myself at the mall and really enjoyed this meal. You get a healthy portion of lamb over a light brown rice topped with special white sauce. Yummy! Check them out.

    Chicken Platter

    If I could give this ten stars, I would. I took the time to read the reviews to make sure I ordered the right thing and settled on the chicken platter. The chicken is moist and flavorful, the rice cooks well, and the sauce is excellent. I could eat this every single day.

    Lamb gyro with a side of fries
    Cara E.

    I'm gonna start by saying this is a welcome addition to a food court and a mall that has seen lots of turnover in recent years as well as a community with a serious lack of diverse food options. I saw this place was open the other night when I went to the movies and made a mental note because I was familiar with the Baba's Halal at the Towson Mall. Tonight, I got a carry out order and I am happy to report this location lives up to their reputation. The meat was savory, salty, and served on a fluffy pita. There was also some nice veg on the gyro to add some freshness / texture to cut through the saltiness and creaminess of the white sauce. The sauce, by the way, is addicting -- be sure to get an extra side of it because you're gonna want it. As for the fries that came with the gyro, they're not anything special and it's nice that they come complimentary with sandwiches, but I would have been disappointed if I had paid for them on the side (as is the case when you order a plate instead of a sandwich). I will say they're the crunchy seasoned variety of fry vs. a basic shoestring, so texturally they're more exciting, but they're a step below from the seasoned fries you'd get from a Popeyes for example. Maybe it's on me for going the takeout route instead of eating it right away, but that was the vibe I got. On that note, if they went the fresh, hand cut fry route, like the Five Guys does literally 50 feet away, I think it would be a game changer that I would happily pay a premium for. Overall, I am very pleased with my first experience with this location and look forward to having more meals here whenever I go to the mall (I am SO tired of Chick-Fil-A and Charley's and Chipotle). I will update this review once I've eaten one of their signature plates.

    Food is mouth watering. They fill you up with meat. The spicy sauce is actually spicy, so proceed with caution.

    The food court had the normal fare that you'd expect, but I immediately noticed the crowd gathered at Baba's Halal.

He let me know about the half off wine special and half off pasta Wednesday specials as well. We ordered the salmon with Brussels sprouts wild catch dish, crab dip, and the Cheseapeake pasta. The salmon was cooked perfectly. The pasta had a rich lobster cream sauce with plenty of lump crab meat and shrimp. The crab dip was flambéed table-side and it came with hot naan chips. I'll definitely be coming back to take advantage of their specials throughout the week. I'd recommend making reservations especially if the Naval academy is having any events.

Some of the best cocktails we've had in a while. We loved the Duck Fat Fries and the Crab Dip was immaculate as well as the French Onion Soup. Unfortunately, we did have to wait a while for our entrees, and after 40 or so minutes we decided to cancel due to other obligations but still ending the dining experience on a good note. Another minor issue was with the check at the end of the meal and the Titan Hospitality rewards program. My card was ran on our voided entrees and I corrected this I ended up losing my $10 Titan reward on the wrong check. I will say, the manager on duty did mention he would speak to corporate about reimbursing me. Overall, great atmosphere, good food, awesome drinks, and Durant really did do a great job. Looking forward to giving this place another try in the future!

I am glad we did. First off, looks can be deceiving. Part of the reason I've never come here before is because from outside, it looks like a dodgy sports bar. And while the inside is most definitely for sports fans, with plenty of memorabilia and TVs, imagine my shock when I got a taste of the service, the food, and the overall vibe of the establishment. Our server was a very nice young woman who did a great job of checking on us without coming off as overeager. My brother and I aren't big drinkers, but that didn't dissuade her from not giving us as much attention as other patrons with bigger tabs. I ordered the french dip and my brother got boneless wings tossed in the honey old bay sauce. This is definitely elevated bar food (with great portion sizes to boot): my sandwich had freshly baked bread and came with fresh cut fries and a savory au jus. My brother commented and said his wings tasted like they were battered and fried to order. The prices are moderate -- given the level of service, the taste of the food, and the portions, we definitely felt like we got our money's worth. I'm happy to add this to place to my rotation -- just proof once again that sometimes the best places are the most unassuming!

For a restaurant with a full bar, it was surprising they had no mezcal and were supposedly out of top-shelf bourbon, yet still served me a drink that tasted overly sweet and nothing like the premium bourbon I ordered. Another letdown was the lack of bread service. Other J. Alexander's locations usually serve croissants, so having none available took away from the experience. The food didn't make up for it either. The steak lacked flavor and felt low quality for the price. The "fried chicken platter" was basically oversized chicken tenders marketed as an entrée, and the mac and cheese was watery and bland instead of rich and creamy. Overall, the experience felt inconsistent and poorly executed. Between the missing staples, questionable bar service, and underwhelming food, this location did not feel worth the cost.

We also tried the rattlesnake pasta--very flavorful, but a bit too spicy for me personally. My friend loved it though, so if you enjoy a good kick, it's definitely worth trying. Everything came out timely and looked as good as it tasted. Overall, a great spot for a nice dinner or special occasion. I'd definitely come back.

The ribeye steak was fantastic and the sauce complimented it really well. For drinks we had the rum and gin. The gin drink was fruity and my favorite out of the two. The desserts I would give probably 3-ish stars. We had the almond cake and it didn't have much of a taste and the whip cream that came on the side must have been accidentally mixed with something that had processed onions because it had a really strong onion aftertaste.

Overall, everything was pretty good and I would visit again to try other items on their menu.
