As many times as we have enjoyed this restaurant, I'm not sure why this is my first review. Hands down, this is our absolute favorite place to eat! My son and I have made this our go-to weekend spot for over a year now, and it never disappoints. The service is definitely 5 star! B Two weeks ago when we were there, as soon as we sat down, our server Makayla greeted us with our regularly ordered drinks. We were shocked that she had remembered us - much less what we typically order! She definitely made us feel special! In addition to the exceptional service, the food is phenomenal. We always start off with Mexico City Spinach Con Queso and chips - which is DELISH!!! As for cocktails, you cannot beat their Lemon Drop Martini! It comes with a side car- so you definitely get every last drop. If you like chicken tenders, I must say that these are some of the best I've ever had! The portion is huge and comes with a heaping pile of crispy shoestring fries. Whenever my husband is able to join us, he is obsessed with the Old Fashion Hamburger. Cooked to perfection and loaded with anything you can think of! Overall, you can't beat the food, service, atmosphere or the price!! Our absolute fave!!!! read more

J. Alexander's - Jay working his magic! - New American Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Solid experience at a Town Center staple. Going off memory, this has to be one of the original "better quality" restaurants to have graced our Town Center. Top notch service with a subtle ambience. They seem to have a dimly lit area along side an area that is a little brighter. You can't go wrong with either and they have a full bar. We began with a smoke salmon dip appetizer for the table which was well executed. A good balance of filler with a substantial portion of smoke salmon served with crispy bruschetta. Around the table we had the (bang bang) pork loin, ahi tuna filet, and I personally opted for the fish sandwich. My wife and son were quite happy with their meals and I have to say this was one of the better fish sandwiches I've ever had. If I have one critique, the sandwich was served with lettuce and pickle chips - no sauce. I did try the fish as is and it was very good but after getting some remoulade (closest thing they had to tartar sauce), it definitely leveled up the meal. We also shared a side of their famous mac and cheese because you simply can't come to J. Alexander's without having their mac - its a must have - and I believe gruyère is the main cheese used. Can't wait to come back. read more

Consistently delicious with great quality and outstanding service, J's always delivers. We've been coming in for years, and have never had a poor or even subpar experience. With excellent drinks, entrees, and dessert.. we've always left full and happy! Favorites: - Martinis: Specifically the pear, but they're all outstanding. You get so much bang for your buck considering that they are all accompanied with a sidecar - Steak Maui: I'm usually never a fan of marinated ribeye since I feel like it takes away from the cut of the steak, but this is my one exception. It's a little bit of salty with a little bit of sweet and bursting with flavor without being overpowering. - Prime Rib: Always cooked to perfection - Mac and Cheese: 10/10 recommend! - Carrot Cake: I'm usually not a huge fan of carrot cake.. I can take it or leave it, but this one is amaaaazing! Served warm.. it's basically a little slice of heaven.. trust me. read more

I ate here on 9/22 and reserved a table for a birthday dinner. The process of reserving a table was very easy. I was quite pleased that the site gave the option for any dietary restrictions. Once we got there, we were seated promptly, and everyone was so nice and helpful. My party was served by Bailey and she was very kind and sweet. The service was very prompt and professional. I had the crab cakes and onion rings, but I went straight into eating that I didn't get a photo. The crab cakes were AMAZING and it's mostly crab in the crab cake which it should be like. I definitely recommend that and going there as well. read more

Kylie was our waitress and was absolutely amazing! I got the flounder with crab and was very impressed by the quality of food and drinks! The ambiance was perfect for date night ! In a higher end restaurant that is so important! Will be returning read more

This was our first a dinner out for 2022. I was given a great gift for my secret Santa. A gift card to J.Alexander's. The drinks were on point, we ordered a bottle of Riesling's Wine , we enjoyed it. They have a great bar, and drink Selections. I ordered a salad, which was great, for me that's is where the enjoyment stopped. I ordered fish tacos for my entree, it was lack luster, broccoli was good, the Mac and cheese was soupy. My wife did enjoy her fish though. I will be coming back because I have more money on my gift card, I will try something else. Dinner was average, that's why I gave it 3 stars. The service was a 5 star. I will return read more

I wish I had taken pictures of the dishes. We came here after a very special event to celebrate and the food definitely topped off the night. I ordered the NY strip steak which was excellent! The max n cheese it came with was very decadent! My husband ordered the cilantro shrimp and his plate had many many big shrimp with rice and cole slaw. He liked his as well. A friend of ours ordered the smoked salmon dip and I was pleasantly surprised that I liked this! Definitely try this place out. The wait staff was friendly, ambiance was great and food was excellent! read more

As a local, J. Alexander's is delicious, dependable brand. Today, we had Asian chicken salads, a bottle of Chardonnay and the spinach queso dip. Everything was so good: food, presentation, staff, environment, wine, noise level, temperature- everything! read more

I went to J. Alexander's for the 2nd time in my life. I came here for my birthday. They have the best cheeseburgers. They really do. The service was okay. This is a fancy restaurant so they don't have lemonade at all. They do have wine and soda. I love the ambiance of the place. Nice place to go for a date night. read more

J. Alexander's - Best cheeseburger! - New American Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

So the food was absolutely amazing until 5 hours later... husband and I went for a date night dinner. We both drank water and had the Mexican spinach queso appetizer it tasted good at the time and then for his entrée, he had the cheeseburger and I had the filet mignon. We left full and happy when we got home we just started not feeling good at the same time around 11:30 pm my husband ended up throwing up and so did I... we feel fine this morning and no one else in the house is sick so we know it had to be the dip... it's the only thing we both ate at the restaurant and it was very watery it just was off but I figured that's how it was supposed to be it was only our second time there so I wasn't sure. The service was great but the food not so much..... read more

Service was great and waiter was knowledgeable about the menu. Our food was hot and came out in a timely matter. No Adults drinks tonight but the water was gooood! read more

Took my husband out for a date night early Father's Day dinner. Made reservations and arrived early, they sat us right away. The night was on point from beginning to end. Drinks were flavorful, artichoke we had for an appetizer was a little more work than most people like but well worth it. We both had the caesar salad and I could not get enough of that dressing. My husband ordered the prime rib and said it cut like butter and he savored every bite. I had the baked chicken and it was perfect as well. Stuffed was an understatement but somehow we were able to share a slice of key lime pie with fresh made whipped cream. E might have waddled out of there but we weren't the only ones and it was worth it. read more

My first time eating at J. Alexanders. The wife and I, along with 2 other couples decided to eat here for a dinner birthday outing.   Stepping inside the restaurant details an intimate setting coupled with some dim lighting, which calls for you know what..... Boom-Chica-Chow-Chow. You probably thought I was gonna say something else huh? =)   Looking at the menu, the Steak Maui kept calling my name, so that's what I ordered. And as a group, we also ordered the Fire Grilled Artichokes, Calamari and the Salmon Dip for starters as well as the Fudge Cake and Key Lime Pie to share amongst ourselves.   First off, the Fire-Grilled Artichokes. This dish should come with instructions. Better yet, our waiter should instruct us how to eat these things....you know, like Flight Attendants showing you how to buckle up and prepare before a flight. I almost ArtiCHOKED (no pun intended).  I wasn't aware that the correct way of eating these is by pulling the soft pulpy section of each artichoke petal with your teeth. Instead, I felt like a Stegosaurus Dinosaur eating these things, wondering if my teeth will ever break down of what I felt like eating coconut husks. Lessons learned here.   Now on to my Steak Maui. I ordered Med Rare. Steak I received was Medium. I ate it anyways because I was hangry. The steaking was surfing with great flavors. What a delicious steak. I could have eaten another one to be honest with you.. but my Stegosaurus jaw was already tired from an earlier chewing session (hint hint).   All in all, the other Starters and Desserts were on point, along with the on-the-house complimentary Birthday Cake given, capped the spectacular night. We had a great experience at J. Alexanders. read more

I like this place. I had mixed feelings on my first visit so I wanted to wait to visit again before posting a review. On both occasions we had good service. The waiters were attentive and accommodating for our parties - six people on the first visit and nine on the second. Both times, we were seated in the back of the restaurant at a large table, which allowed us to be away from the crowds and to be able to chat. On my first visit, I got the steak burger, which was made with ground beef tenderloin and ribeye, topped with cheddar cheese and grilled onions. This sounded really good but when I bit into it, it was over cooked, dry, and lacking in flavor. I thought that the regular, old-fashioned cheeseburger was far better. I like their skinny fries and the portion is large. I tried their popular macaroni and cheese and to me, it also suffered from a lack of seasoning. Dessert here was something I was looking forward to. The chocolate cake and the carrot cake were excellent. Both were so rich and decadent, perfect for sharing or taking home. This is definitely not the J. Alexander's of my youth. At dinner here the other night, a friend and I were reminiscing about when they had the glazed croissants years ago, which was always my main reason for wanting to visit. I guess with rebranding and a menu revamp, they sadly got taken off of the menu. I like this "new" J. Alexander's for group events but it kinda just runs in the middle of the road for me in terms of food. Others that I've dined with have enjoyed the seafood pasta, steak, crab cakes, and prime rib. But I end up just getting burgers here as nothing else on the menu really piques my interest. read more

I highly recommend this restaurant if you are ever in Jacksonville Fl! in fact it is worth a drive to dine for a meal!! my service was amazing - my waitress, "Misti" was so professional, accommodating, personable and made me feel valuable! in a time in this country when people are divided it is people like Misti that gives me hope! further more the food was fresh, great tasting... (salad champagne vingeratte dressing was great) and cheese burger and fries was gourmet at its best! don't forget their signature carrot cake!! read more

This restaurant is by far one of my favorites in Jacksonville. It's at the end of the St. John's Town Center so the vibe is really nice. There's plenty of parking but they do have their moments where their parking lots are pretty filled but don't fret- you will find one. The area is near Capital Grille and True Food Kitchen. Therefore the company of restaurants is also upscale. This spot is a perfect for a date night, or friends just wanting to hang out and have a great meal. Don't get me wrong you can also bring the family but it's definitely an adult vibe. The ambience has a club feel and once you come on in - you can take the shades off because it's really dark. The staff is very sweet and professional. They are doing a great job of social distancing. Bathrooms are clean and every staff member is wearing masks and gloves. Now I am only posting picture of what I had the last time I was there. However I will talk about what I have had on other occasions. The steak burger is so juicy, I can literally have it everyday. It's ground sirloin and rib eye steak in one burger. The rack of ribs has a small kick but it's finger licking great. The Mr. Jack chicken platter is my sons favorite. My wife is not a fan of the breading but I love it. The tenders is a huge dish. It comes with lots of fries and Cole slaw. It's absolutely delicious. The cilantro shrimp is so yummy!!! I can't tell you how phenomenal that dish is- along with their rice pilaf. I don't even like that style of rice and I love that one. There's a couple more dishes we have had but I'll leave it here. On this particular night we started with a tower of onions rings and the spinach queso. They are both so delicious, and honestly a bit addictive. The queso is so creamy. But on this night I came for the big boys!! I ordered their Maui Rib Eye Steak!! One of the best 14oz steaks anyone can ever ask for ($38). I chose their not so ordinary Mac n Cheese (which is a must side dish order, it will change your life. My friends had the filet and they had nothing but wonderful things to say about the whole experience. However to top everything off, I ordered a carrot cake. OMG!! If you don't like carrot cake you might want to change your mind. It's so moist, hot and flavorful! Order that!! But the chocolate cake with their vanilla ice cream is to die for too. Either way- go!!! I go so often they should my name. Lol! But try it- let me know if anyone needs more recommendations. read more

So me and my boyfriend LOVED the steals we had the best meals we've ever had. I got the steak and fries but changed the fries to the rice and beans and when i tell you that was awesome? It was. I got the midnight something drink and my boyfriend got the ginger drink and the strongest best drink ever also. The lighting was beautiful. I usually get well done steak but i got medium well and it was too much pink for me because im weird. Lol i asked them to leave it on longer they gave me a WHOLE new plate and it was well done! Thank you soo much. The service was perfect. Always there refilling the drinks. Very pricey but guess what? IT WAS WORTH IT! read more

A group of us met here for dinner. We were seated right away and waitress came over for drinks. The cocktails took quite a bit of time but because of this, they were comped which was a good business practice! We didn't order any appetizers but they had a variety of starters. The wine list was quite extensive and had special cocktails. My husband said his Caesar salad was very good. I ordered the cilantro shrimp with broccoli. My husband had Steaks Brazzo which was on a special menu. We got our meals out in a nice time and nice presentation. My shrimp were on top of beautiful display of rice. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and so tasty. The broccoli was Al dente which is how I like it. My husband said his specialty dish was excellent. Cooked to perfection. He opted for the chocolate cake with ice cream for dessert which came out steamed and smelled amazing. He said it was moist and complemented the meal. I would have given 5 stars, but due to the care in the restrooms, I had to go with 4. It had not been taken care of and one of the toilets was clogged. Just doesn't scream hygiene especially in an upscale restaurant. It was a good experience otherwise! read more

The veggie burger is so good...it has like a sweet smoky glaze and the pickles taste like they were made in house. Shoe strings fries that are perfectly cooked and salted. The other 3 ladies I was with also enjoyed their food. Only complaint was the mule tastes like straight ginger and I don't like ginger haha asked to send it back and they took it off the bill no problem. read more

This restaurant has been here quite a while, I think since the town center first opened, with so many restaurant choices so close together you have to be doing something right to last....J Alexander's proved that to us when we ate here! Me and John stopped in for dinner and one of the things that really blew me away was how great the service was! As a former server I really appreciated how sweet all the servers were, everything came out fast and with a genuine smile! Now to the food! Steakhouses aren't usually my top pick for dining out, but they offer a few other choices, the one that we loved was the fire roasted artichokes! I don't know any other restaurants around that does this dish and it was soooo delicious!! I definitely recommend trying this, we both loved it! We shared a salad and a burger also and neither one of us had any complaints, I actually left like dang that was a perfect dinner! And for how fancy of a restaurant it is I didn't think prices were crazy, all around I was impressed! Look forward to returning! read more

Have been here a couple of times now and I love this elegant restaurant! Great steaks and very attentive service. Enjoyed Wednesday night dining when they have $5 martinis. Had "The Duke" martini and it was as perfect as it sounds, classic and so pretty. The extra olives make it even better. Their calamari appetizer is very good and the marinara sauce is lightly spicy. The steaks are just as good you would expect at a high end place like this, and the Mac & cheese side is a perfect accompaniment. Come here for a special occasion or just to enjoy a steak and a martini like a 1950's businessman would. So "Mad Men" up in here! read more
