    CARROT CAKE
    Katie F.

    I have found my new favorite restaurant. Wow. Every single bite was enjoyable. The sauce on the brassiere chicken... I could have drank it

    Calamari
    Jenny A.

    I don't know how we have lived in the area for 10 years and this was our first trip to J Alexander's. First the service was awesome. Parker our waiter was friendly, helpful and made sure we felt special on our first visit. In addition every person who walked by assessed the table and took care of our needs (water, refills, clears plates etc). That teamwork made the experience even better. The restaurant itself was cozy and relaxing with a great ambiance. The food was excellent! Probably the best calamari I've ever had, steak cooked perfect and what a yummy espresso martini then to top it all off the carrot cake was to die for. We will definitely be back.

    They have Rattlesnake pasta on the menu for good now!!! Awesome!!!! Love it ! It's a delicious dish! And with toast! You won't be disappointed!

    CARROT CAKE

    I forgot how good j Alexander used to be.. well every-thing was amazing! The ribs were coming straight off the bone.. the slaw just right and who doesn't love show string fries!? The carrot cake was served warm!! Sooo good! Shot out to our server Tyler, he was amazing answering all of our questions and served us with smile!

    Martini and side car

    A real pleasant alternative to the top tier priced steak houses around here. The feel wood interior makes dining cost (even still used a real candle). Drinks are generous and meat cooked over wood fire is I think unique style in the area. Wait Staff are Friendly without being intrusive. Be sure to make reservations because even on Tuesday they are near full by 6pm (we went at 5 to get ahead of the dinner crowd).

    Absolutely a solid choice with a great diverse menu with steaks and sush. Great beer and contail menu and superior table service especially from Mary. A can't miss dining experience.

    1/2 French Dip and fries
    Rochelle V.

    My first time here. Visiting for a week in CO and my friend said they had good French dips so we went for lunch. Probably in the top 3 of all French dips I've ever had. They definitely do not skimp on the meat, and it's cooked perfectly...slightly rare just how it should be. The fries were also excellent. Thin and crispy. The photo you are seeing is half of the sandwich and half of the fries, very large portions! Service was friendly and quick, our waiter Brian was very attentive.

    From the moment you walk in you will wowed by the atmosphere and decor of the restaurant. Our party of 5 was served by Barney. He helped us select from the menu and was very helpful in our making some great choices for our Dinner. We selected the Steak Rolls, Steak Burgers, Roasted Chicken Salad and Shrimp Louie Salad. We paired that with a CLINE ZIN wine for an epic meal. For desert we ordered the Carrot Cake and Chocolate Bundt Cake and both were large enough to share with our entire family group and very delicious. The menu is vey diverse from steak to sushi and everything in between. You owe it to yourself to try J. Alexander's, you'll be glad you did.

    Veggie burger
    Kaitlin C.

    Service was absolutely exceptional and very attentive. The key lime pie was the star of the show (coming from someone that doesn't even like KLP). We had to take an extra piece home! The veggie burger was not for me... the housemade patty was very sweet and felt over fried/greasy. I like more veggie forward burgers so this might be a good swap for someone that usually eats meat though! There is a large parking lot out front.

    Steak Frits - yummy!

    I had the shrimp Louie which was delicious. I wanted to try the crab cakes but the market price was $47 which is crazy expensive.

    Love Pappadeaux! Seafood platter, Mardi Gras Pasta, artichoke and crab dip, kids chicken tenders,…read moreShrimp with Alfredo and more were all appreciated by our party and we had a great time. The kids always find something to enjoy and the ambiance and space is always entertaining enough for them.

    Shortly after moving to Colorado, I noticed Pappadeaux from I-25 and told myself I wanted to try…read moreit. I had also heard several coworkers talk about how good the food was, so I decided to place a takeout order for my family. When I picked up the order and got it home, I was amazed by how much food was in the bag. The meal arrived packed in foil pans--two smaller pans and one long pan. They also included napkins, tartar sauce, ketchup, and hot sauce packets. The portions were extremely generous. There were three of us eating, and we had enough leftovers to enjoy for almost three days. The meal was a little pricey, but considering the amount of food we received, the value was actually pretty good. As for the food itself, I wasn't as impressed as I expected to be after hearing so many people rave about it. The food wasn't bad, but it didn't leave a lasting impression on me. The best way I can describe it is that it was just okay. To be fair, this was a takeout order. I don't know how long the food sat before I picked it up, and some dishes simply don't travel as well as others. I suspect the dine-in experience may be much different. Although my first visit didn't quite live up to the hype, I appreciate the generous portions and attention to packaging. I'm willing to give Pappadeaux another chance in the future and try the full dining experience before making a final judgment.

    I kept hearing about this spot and their weekday/weekend specials, so I finally checked it out--and…read morenow it's in my regular rotation. It's definitely giving date night energy: low lighting, candlelit tables, and a cozy-but-busy atmosphere. Every time I've gone it's been pretty packed, but I've never had trouble snagging a seat (and I never make reservations). Honestly, it's become my go-to for a solo night--cocktail in hand, spicy book in the other. My routine? Friday nights. I settle in with my book, order the Thai calamari (which has the perfect punch of flavor), and wait for the 9pm special--$0.99 oysters until close on Fridays and Saturdays. Such a steal. The servers are always great, but Chris really stands out--attentive, kind, and totally gets the vibe of letting me relax and enjoy my drink and my book. I also came during Denver Restaurant Week and did their 3-course menu: calamari (obviously), the sea bass (which surprised me in the best way), and the blood orange olive oil cake... WOW. Light, citrusy, and perfectly balanced--not too sweet, just right. Most recently, I brought my boyfriend and we finally explored more of their oyster selection. Our server guided us based on our flavor preferences, and we loved a few so much we had to order another dozen. This spot is a gem--whether it's a solo unwind night or a cute date. I try to come at least once a month, and it never disappoints.

    There was a 3.5% "SGH Fee" added to my bill. This wasn't advertised on the menu or communicated by…read moremy server. When I asked about it, the server said it was a way for them to "generate additional revenue without raising menu prices." To me, this feels like stealing from your customers.
