Even though the name has changed the food and great service has not. Flew in from Dallas and had to make our traditional stop to J Alex. Enjoyed 2 Cindy's Lemon Drops and a Southern Chicken Salad. I'm a happy girl! read more

J. Alexander's - Southern Chicken Salad - Steakhouses Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

See all

Great food. Great service. It's what you expect from J Alexander's. Will be back. Had the cypress salad, as good as Nashville location.

What has been a staple over the years for us has made the turn toward subpar in both menu and presentation. There was a time before it was Redlands that this place was called J Alexander's for a decade we dined there, and could count on a delicious variety of choices with quality presentation. Now, post Covid, apparently the manager is more scared of the virus than he is concerned with maintaining the continuity of quality. He has removed the crab cakes, a long time favorite, and also removed the chicken salad, another perennial favorite. When you ordered something with fries you got a mound of delicious shoestring fries...now you get a subpar serving. It's been said this Redlands is the ONLY one nationwide that requires staff to continue to wear masks. In fact, they are the only restaurant in Memphis that still requires masks for workers. Here's a tip, worry more about your customer's dining experience than projecting your own paranoid tendencies on your staff. We won't be back. read more

To me it's just average. Nothing about the food that warrants their prices. I've given up on them. Prefer not to go back.

I think three is sufficient based on our server, she was great. But let's be honest. The food is extremely overpriced. When I first moved to Memphis they had a door greeter who opened the door with great energy. That is no longer a thing. Ambiance is always nice. I think going forward it's best to go for lunch and sit at bar. Do not order the expensive favorites because even the quality of food has gone down. read more

Always a great meal! From apps, soups, salads, and entrees, it's really very good. On occasion, I'll have prime rib and that is one of the best I've eaten. read more

I have tried J. Alexander three times in the last year, without any concern. Very warm environment with a kind attention.

I can't tell you how many times I have had the prime rib here but if I had to guess I would probably say more than 5 times. I'm very particular about prime rib because I do not trust restaurants to get it right but J Alexander's gets it right every time. They are consistent, meaning each time I enjoy a meal there the prime rib is cooked to perfection every single time. If you don't trust me just ask my steak snob mother! Trust me when I say I have seen her send back several steaks because they were overcooked but not once has she sent the prim rib back (she prefers steaks medium rare or as I like to call it still mooing... ) I have recommended this location to several of my friends and family members. Also as a sidenote I would love to mention that they have the best martinis (vodka-based)! If you're feeling extra then you can get the fleur-de-lis's it has a beautiful orchid Floating on top. read more

Great food. Wonderful intimate atmosphere. Service tends to be pretty good. Best lemon drop I've had.

Steak was cooked to perfection , service was fast and friendly. Spinach queso dip and chips was a great appetizer. We also had a Ribeye cooked to perfection and the loaded baked potato was great. Tea was very good as well and our glasses were kept full read more

One of my favorite restaurants. I love the lasagna, steak, and salmon! Let's not forget about the mac and cheese!

This place is always service is great 10/10 every single time!!! One of my favorite regular places to eat! read more

Delicious food! Great for a date night or bringing the kids honestly. The Steak Maui is my favorite thing from here. I see a lot of people getting the burger and fries and it looks phenomenal! I highly recommend the absolute mountain of mashed potatoes they give you as a side! read more

Food is awesome but it's been a few years since we went there going to go back in the next couple of weeks.

We frequent this restaurant and we have posted a few Open Table, Trip Advisor, and Yelp reviews for J. Alexander's / Redlands Grill. As usual, the food was on point for presentation and taste profile. Harvest (our Server) was sweet, polite, attentive and professional. Also management made the rounds to ensure that customers were having a good dining experience. Kudos to the Hostesses, Servers, Kitchen Staff, and Management for consistently providing great food and an excellent dining experience. Whether you are dining alone, as a couple, or a group (small or large) we confidently recommend J. Alexander's-Redlands Grill. Personally, I especially enjoy their Calamari, Fish Taco, Swordfish, the Raymond Sommelier Selection Cab, and the consistently personable and professional service. read more

I absolutely LOVE the Cypress Salad! Haven't been able to make myself order anything else since that's always so good.

Lemon drops are a little tart but very great. You really get a bang for your buck due to receiving two lemon drops for the price of one.

Food and service is always top notch. When visiting, ask for Matt as your server. He is one of the best servers we have ever had, anywhere. The food is perfectly prepared and the prices are reasonable for the quality. We visit as often as we can and have never had a bad experience. Wonderful atmosphere also. read more

My guy behind the grill working them steaks is a magician y'all better give that man a raise before someone else does !!!

The food is great and the variety is awesome. Good ambiance. Highly recommend. 5 stars

Food is great. Restaurant too dArk and it smells like weird.... Need to replace carpet

Date Night So hubby and I got blessed with a sweet sitter - we decided let's keep this Valentine's Day Weekend going strong LOL ! We were totally stoked about last night so to get another opportunity to dine at a place nice as this was EVERYTHING!! I knew that it would be lots of people out and about so I figured might as well make reservations on OpenTable before heading out and I did And as expected the restaurant was packed - people were sitting alongside the wall & standing arm to arm in the entrance area- the hostess stand had people waiting in front of the stand in a single file line- this was the place for a Saturday night! I'm ecstatic that I made reservations in advance cause there would've been absolutely no way we would bee seated in a timely manner- like I mentioned this was the place to be! It was full of energy and conversations LOL! My hubby and I did get in the hostess line which moved fairly quickly cause people were simply asking for wait times and etc.- hostess was sweet and we informed her of our 8:15 reservation under my name- she found it immediately and gave us a restaurant buzzer for a 10 minute wait which was fine with us- we went over to the bar and we're to two chairs yes! Perfect timing for us to sip a min and chat. At the bar we were greeted with smiles and immediately asked what beverage we'd like during our wait for our table to be ready So we ordered beverages and about 15 minutes later our table was ready and we were seated in a booth with a great view in my opinion in the center of the restaurant- Our waiter was Owen he was informative and nice - he took our order (salmon for me) (steak for hubby) and steadily check on us to see if we needed anything- this was an amazing dining experience and I'd recommend this place to all :)) read more

Always great food and service. Ambiance is good and always a good crowd at the bar. Also have done take out and never disappoints. I would recommend this restaurant read more

This is my favorite restaurant of all the places in Shelby and Desoto County. I don't care what you get it's great. My favorite of all the wonderful things is Macaroni And cheese. I drive 40 miles for that. The Redlands salad is my next favorite. And of course carrot cake with the frosting warm and melted on top. Hamburger is awesome. Service is the best. The only thing I am not crazy about is the lighting if your not near a window it's hard to read menu. It's all yummy !! Clean and attentive service read more

Great environment :) the interior is super luxurious. Food was full of flavor I got the Steak Brazzo! Recommend for special occasions, just a bit pricy but price reflects the food so its pretty neat. The music in the background is pretty chill. Steak Brazzo did not disappoint for the first time eating here. Servers were very kind and patient with my hesitant decisions. read more

The lasagna is amazing! And the carrot cake We have been pleased with the dine-in and to-go experiences.

This meal was incredible. Everything we had was amazing. Would recommend the avocado bomb and prime rib any day. I would however stay away from the carrot cake unless you like super sweet. It was a little too much and is served piping hot. read more

J. Alexander's - Avalado bomb amazing as it looks!!!!!!! - Steakhouses Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Always delicious and by far the best hamburger and fries in Memphis! Love all of their food!

My husband picked out J. Alexander's because he had a hankering for a good steak and he was not disappointed. He ordered a N.Y. Strip Steak and I ordered a coffee rubbed filet with smashed potatoes. My steak was cooked to the temperature I requested and was very good. Not chewy and a great portion. In fact, I took home half and ate the rest later and it was still good the next day. I was provided with a large amount of potatoes and had plenty for the next day too. I kicked up the flavor a notch with my husband's butter sauce. It would've been ok without it. But, that really helped. The server was very attentive and came to check on us often. read more

J. Alexander's - Coffee Rubbed Steak and Smashed Potatoes - Steakhouses Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I love the food here. It is very delicious and tasty. The steak is really nice. The service was on point. The ambiance is really delightful.

Shockingly, I did not enjoy this. We were out for a business dinner and I ordered the Steak Maui. Now I ordered this, so even though the first bite told me that it was sickeningly sweet, I would eat it. But really, if you have coat a steak with a sugar sauce, what are you hiding? In this case, a tough, over cooked and gristly piece of meat that I would have thought twice about giving to my dog. This was supposed to have been a ribeye, but I'm doubtful because it was not at all tender and not at all appealing. Now, being the most junior person in the group, I was not going to raise a fuss, it is just a steak. But my goodness, the amount of it that I had to leave behind because it just was not edible was shocking. This was one case and to be fair, my past experiences with J Alexander's have been better. This was an unusual circumstance and I wasn't going to correct it. But shame on the restaurant for allowing that piece of meat to even make it to the grill, for over cooking it on the grill and for nobody catching that I was chewing for 5 minutes and then discretely ejecting what was left onto the corner of my plate. read more

Love this place!! The service and the food is always great! I recommend this restaurant to everyone. Bar is also very good. They take pride in customer service, with atmosphere to go with. During these trying times they still manage to give customers a great experience read more

We received a gift card from friends several years ago and finally got to use it tonight. (We have a bad habit of putting them in the drawer and only pulling them out long after they have expired.) The service and food were both excellent - as usual. After starting with the deviled eggs - a must-try item, we both ordered mains off the "specials" menu: kabobs and Cajun prime rib. Simply excellent. I finished off my meal the next day at lunch. This is one restaurant that seems to hold on to its edge year after year. As chains go, I'd say this is one of the better options. read more

Some of the best food around. The staff is usually extremely helpful and nice. It's a nice restaurant that you don't have to dress up to go to. One of my favorites. read more

My family and I decided to check this place out a couple days ago. The place was very clean and everyone was very nice and welcoming. We got to our table and asked for a high chair. When the girl brought it out, it was completely filthy. Like...I know she saw all the food all over it. But, instead of making a big deal out of it. I just pulled out my baby wipes and cleaned it. Our server was very nice and attentive. The food came out super fast. It would have been nice to have gotten our appetizer and had time to enjoy it before our entrees came out. But all in all it was a pleasant dining experience. A little on the expensive side, but large portions as well. We had a good amount of food to take home with us. If only that high chair had been cleaned, would have been a 5 star review. read more
