We came in Sunday after church for a great dining experience but that wasn't the case. I've had great experiences in the past but this one did not stand up to previous ones. The service was still great but the food just didn't have the taste or flavor. We started with the spinach and queso dip. The chips were very salt and stale. The dip was cold and very runny. The pork chop, that took the place of the pork tenderloin, needs to be reversed back. The meat had no flavor of it being grilled, the meat was tough even after we ordered it medium temperature. The chicken was the only thing that tasted like it did before. The prime rib was just plain but the cooking temperature was good. Spending almost $200, you want to get what you pay for!! read more

We had a great experience at the Hoover location today. Our server, Lilly, was wonderful. Great personality, efficient and very attentive without being intrusive. The meal was delicious from the Hong Kong shrimp to the prime rib! read more

It's been quite some time since I've been to this location and it was still great! Wait staff was efficient and worked as a team. The FOH manager even assisted the staff. I had the French Dip a the meat just melted in my mouth as it was so tender. The baguette as warm and soft. Cole Slaw was very good. Carrot cake dessert was unlike any I've ever had and was a great compliment to end my meal. The atmosphere was warm and intimate. The glass dividers between booths offered quiet and privacy. This place is the total package. read more

Poor service. Cold food Uncooked sides Came here for birthday and left disappointed read more

Came here to celebrate my dad's birthday. We were a party of 8 and the table that they seated us at was so small. I mean I guess that is where they sit their larger parties but it was a no for me. Our waitress was super sweet and an attentive to everyone's orders. However, I personally feel like the overall meals were just OK.. the queso was really watery, the prime rib sandwich just cannot be cooked too, the guest liking after being taken back twice. Apparently the crabcakes were great. However, the roasted chicken was a bit on the dry side. I personally ordered the steak skewer and I have to say it was pretty good. No complaints on my entrée. My dad and his wife said they used to come here quite often and it's just not the same so I'm basing my review off of their opinions hopefully things will change. read more

We were staying at the Marriott in Ross Bridge and decided to try this restaurant. My husband and I split the Caesar salad which was wonderful and the split was huge. He had a steak and said it was great and I had the potato soup which was good as well. Jesse, our server, was awesome! She was friendly and attentive and gave great recommendations! The hostess and other staff were also very nice and welcoming! We'll be back next time we're in the area !! read more

Everything went well. The service the ambiance, and the food was AMAZING! EVERTHING WAS GREAT!

Highly recommend! The orzo and wild rice is similar to a pasta salad. The kid's cheeseburger and fries were enough for an adult! Very good! read more

Everything about this place is great. From the food, drinks, service, save atmosphere.

After sightseeing in Birmingham, Al. we needed good food fast before the crowds. My daughter's fiancé said he had a place that I would really like-Redlands Grill! He was right! When I walked inside, I was a little apprehensive because it was a flux of people waiting, but we were seated in less than 20 minutes. Our great tasting food was serve rather promptly. The good service from staff and the delicious food was spectacular. Beautiful decor also! read more

Dinner today was a birthday celebration for my coworker.there were 11 of us and they chose to sit us in the round booths by the bar which I didn't think was a good idea because we had to sit at seperate tables and 2 sat at the bar. But we all enjoyed ourselves. I ordered the Surf 'n Turf medium rare with the loaded baked potatoe, which was one of the daily specials. The filet was cooked perfect. The steak was well seasoned and very tender. The lobster tail was also seasoned well and came with a side of butter. The loaded baked potato came out steaming hot with the right amount of butter, sourcream, cheese and bacon bits. To wash it all down I chose a Shirley Temple. This meal is definitely at the top of the best meals I've had here. read more

The service and food was top notch. We had the lasagna which was absolutely delicious and the artichoke appetizer was wonderfully seasoned. Don't pass up the key lime pie either. It was one of the best and I love key lime. read more

We had dinner at J Alexanders tonight. It was a great evening in every way. The food was delicious and well portioned. Darian was our server tonight. He offered exceptional service even despite having tables across the restaurant. Darian was delightful and professional. We always love J Alexander's ambiance and environment, read more

This was our first time at the restaurant in Hoover, Alabama (we'd been to the restaurant in Memphis). Everything you see in these pictures was fan-tastic! The turkey burger was perfect, as was the red cabbage ( our waiter has been convinced to try it) and I don't eat chocolate cake too much, and this is the reason why. It was warmed to perfection. If you're ever in the Birmingham metro area, give this place a shot. You won't regret it. read more

Met friends on a Thursday night. Was a little over an hour wait. The food was good. I ordered the chicken tenders which was enough to share between two people. The tea wasn't great but exchanged it for a coke. Nice ambiance as always. read more

My favorite restaurant! The Maui Steak is the best ever! It is served with amazing pile of fresh mashed potatoes. Best place to go for celebrations. We were there celebrating a birthday. We were presented a huge warm carrot cake slice that was to die for. Again, my very favorite restaurant. Food, service and ambiance. read more

I was at J Alexander's on November 9 for a special birthday dinner for a party of 7 When I made reservations I was promised a carrot cake for both twins for their birthday. We never received them. Salad was terrible and not worth the price . I will not return read more

Great steak burger! I ate it so fast I forgot to take a picture but trust me on this one!!! It's delicious!!

Good food. Ribs were good but I asked for extra sauce as they were a little dry despite falling off the bone. Great Caesar salad. Drink wasn't the best for me- kinda strong tequila taste but probably just my preference. Overall I'd return. read more

The worst customer service after dealing with bad food that took over an hour to be delivered to our table. This used to be a good place to eat but never again! read more

BEST CARROT CAKE AND MAC N CHEESE EVER!! Great establishment and am blown away by that carrot cake. Will be dreaming of it for awhile. read more

The food is so good, but one thing I would change is smaller servings of the side items. Having 2 instead of 1 big one. The prime rib sandwich is to die for. The Mac and cheese is great, along with the carrot cake. People are friendly. Service is a little longer but it takes longer for perfection. Great chefs work there. The atmosphere is really nice and romantic. If you are going on a date, take your honey there. read more

Carrot cake is truly all I will ever need here. It's warm, it's moist, it's spiced well... just YUMMMM. The cajun trout was on special and was absolutely delicious. Crab cakes were delicious as always as well. I don't get around to J Alexanders often, but I'm always reminded to stop by more often when I do happen to stop in. read more

The entire dinning experience was amazing; from the host, to the wait staff, to the food. I got the steak maui with mashed potatoes and a Caesar salad. The steak had a great match of sweet and savory with a wood fired taste. The potato's were creamy but with little chunks of potatoes that I thought went well with the natural gravy of the steak. The Caesar salad dressing and croutons you can tell were made in house, and the entire salad was tossed with just the right amount of dressing! If you want an all round great experience then I highly recommend! read more

J. Alexander's - Steak Maui with mashed potatoes - New American Near Me - Hoover, Alabama

We started the evening with drinks. My friend ordered a gin and tonic. It arrived without a lime. Manager came by and corrected that. While there, she suggested a red wine that was delicious. Food: starters were grilled asparagus and Cesar salad. The asparagus were a huge disappointment. While I was still trying to eat them, our entrees arrived. So now we have a table full of food. Do we finish the starters and let our entrees cool or sacrifice the starters? We went for the entrees. The grilled halibut, pork chop, and steak were all generous portions and delicious. Food was good but the service was lacking. Saturday night dining should be a leisurely meal. This group needs to up their game to accomplish that. read more

Second time here and I love this place. I love their chocolate cake with a scoop of ice cream it is amazing 1000% recommend, I also recommend the Maui steak yummy read more

Service was Wonderful and the Food was delivered timely and it was so amazing! Always Cooked so Perfect!

Ate here last week found a sharpe object in my food ( the eggrolls ) and everyone acted like it wasn't a big deal but I found it when I was chewing my food and bit down on it and spit it out! The manager came over and explain that the foreign object was maybe in the Erggroll mix and came from the container that it was in and then offered me another order of eggrolls from that SAME mix!! I don't know if she had a brain fart but that literally makes no sense. At the end I was given one free lemonade refill for my troubles! I definitely won't be ever eating here again. read more

The food is excellent. The dress code is casual. They have a little bit of everything...chicken, fish, steak... I don't think I have had a bad meal read more

This is such a gem located by the riverchase galleria. It is a large restaurant yet has a cozy feel to it. The bar area is very classy. Tonight we sat in the bar area in a booth. Our server was Nathan and he was very attentive. We got the spinach con queso as an appetizer and it was delicious. Very creamy and tasty. The sourdough bread and butter was great as well. I ordered the old fashioned cheese burger well done. It comes with shoe string French fries. The burger is huge and comes cut in half. I only could eat half. I hadn't been here in years but will definitely be back soon. read more

It comes with great disappointment that I feel the need to update my review, yet again, and in the process lower my ranking again. It continues to baffle me that a place that is classified as a steak house doesn't have the ability to cook to order a steak. This is now two consecutive visits that I ordered the filet and it's the second time I ordered it with a heat level of medium. It's the second time that my order came out ultra rare. This is unacceptable! The last time I did this I sent my order back 3 times and they were never able to get it right. Wasn't worth it this time, cut around the raw section and ate what I could and called it a day. Kind of sad when a place like McDonalds has a better hit rate for getting orders right over a specialty place such as Redlands. I guess I really only have myself to blame for this one, I went back. I also ordered the same thing again .... granted they said they could cook it right, but they told me that last time as well. Not impressed!!! read more
