    Steak burger
    Cody D.

    First time eating here in a very long time, but the food and service were really good, so we won't wait as long between visits moving forward. The burger I had was juicy and delicious. T's steak was cook perfectly, a beautiful medium. The fries were fine...like McDonalds but the tiny version. We both got Alex's salad to start and they make all their dressings in house. The ranch and the blue cheese dressings were excellent, and the salad itself was put together very well in a chilled salad bowl and with warm, freshly toasted croutons. A pleasant start to our meal.

    Doppleganger and Espresso Martinis - All martinis come with a bonus refill
    Joe S.

    It was so good, the J must stand for Joe, right? And BOGO Martinis? WTF! It's like a milkshake where you get the extra bonus part in the metal container, but with delicious boozy martini remnants! So I don't recommend 3... just sayin'. Bonus refills were killer, literally! I had the tequila one, the espresso one, and the Duke (the most classic) and all were great. Service here was amazing. First, sitting at the bar and having a drink before dinner as we waited for everyone to arrive. Great, talkative and informative bartenders. Loved it! And the waiter was excellent as well and just nailed it. So friendly and attentive. We started off with the Shrimp Appetizer (Fried and spicy) and these were good. They came out quick and were woofed down by our party of 3. For dinner, I had the the crab cakes (are they native to Memphis?) and they were delicious... as were the sides of couscous and Mac-n-cheese. Double Carbs, please! Others enjoyed their meals as well (Steaks and what not) and drinks and everything. This was a great stop outside of Memphis and was worth the trip from downtown. Although I didn't pay, so I don't really know if it was worth it. But everything was great AF! I'd go back and maybe seek out this chain again in other cities. Great job!

    Always a good service when dining at the bar. Great food and atmosphere. This dish has been better on other days.

    J. Alexander's sets itself apart with an expansive cocktail menu, consistently perfectly cooked steaks, and the best crab cakes in town. The restaurant and parking lot tend to get crowded at dinner time, but the pacing of the food and service is always quick. At night, the restaurant is dimly lit. During the day, it has ample natural lighting. The prices are rather high compared to local establishments but I go back for the consistency and the drinks.

    Always a great experience. Grabbed the last bar seat on Valentine's Day since they had a 1.5 hour wait and cars lined up outside the parking lot. Had the redfish and a cocktail. The vibe and food were superb as always.

    I haven't been here in over a decade. A friend went for her birthday celebration, so this was my chance to get back in and see what they have. I ordered the salmon, broccoli, and wild rice. Everything was delicious! I also tried the Nashville Hot chicken sandwich, and it was delicious. The service was awesome! Our server was very attentive and check in us often. The vibe is super cute and cozy. It is definitely conducive for a group outing or a date night. I am looking forward to going back again.

    Great service, well prepared and presented dishes but a bit on the pricey side for what it is. Don't get me wrong, there are more affordable dishes on the menu but when you are craving prime rib...you gotta have it. Nadia, our waitress was attentive and kept a smile on her face even though she was stretched thin! Note: the reservation platforms and their website state general dress code requirements but they are not enforced. Come clean and decently dressed and you'll be fine. The ambiance here is moody in a good way: low light, cozy table placement, and real candle lighting. Great for special occasions or just a great meal with friends or colleagues!

    I came in for a quick dinner. No waiting bar seating available. Service was quick and friendly. The ambiance was average. The food came out in a timely manner. My salad was delicious. Calamari was ok! The service team was exceptional. Great teamwork and customer service.

    Peanut Butter Pie
    Sherri C.

    My husband and I went for a dinner last night to celebrate our anniversary. And had another great experience. Our server had such a sweet disposition and provided exceptional hospitality (Bailey S.). We selected our favorites, their veggie burger with potatoes and the chicken salad. Bailey's recommendation of the peanut butter pie was spot on. So smooth, it had a hint of peanut butter and just enough sweetness, not overly sweet. Enjoyed it, thank you.

    Calamari
    Xinyi Z.

    We've actually never been to J. Alexander's so we decided to give it a try for dinner. We arrived around 6 pm, and there was already a 30-minute wait. No biggie since they have a nice big waiting area just outside the entrance. Our waitress was very pleasant and accommodating. I requested a red sangria since I couldn't find anything on the menu I really wanted, she accidentally brought me a white sangria instead but it was still good so I didn't mind lol! We started with the calamari, which was nicely fried and the calamari was tender. For dinner, I ordered the slow-roasted prime rib and opted for mac & cheese on the side, and my boyfriend got the NY strip. The prime rib was incredibly tender and packed with flavor, and the portion size was very generous. I tried a bite of my boyfriend's NY strip but found it a bit salty for my taste. The mac & cheese was also amazing, definitely a standout side! Overall, it was an enjoyable experience and I'd come back again! Though I wish the lighting wasn't so dark inside.

    If you have been traveling up and down Brunswick Road over the years, you know the building. This…read morewas the Brunswick General Store and had a barber shop and the Brunswick post office in the back on of the building. Times change and the building changed ownership and names. It became a couple of operations including the Brusnwick Kitchen. However, the name had was registered with the state and can no longer be used. So it is now Trudies Catfish Cabin. Oh, how I wish they made a good pizza and served beer. We really need this in the area! This isn't the first time I've been here and I'll return. However tonite, I'd like to highlight the Catfish Tacos. Three tacos for $12.99, and folks these are a better deal than many other places fish tacos. The three of them are a meal by themselves. I was with a three others tonite, and for all of us, the three tacos apiece was more than enough. For the two of us, our bill was $35.00 and consisted of two orders of fish tacos, drinks, and one order of french fries for the table. As for the Tacos: First off, these folks are using a nicely cooked catfish filet. It has only a few topping including a secret sauce that does not detract from the taste of the fish. Second off, the tacos were soft and flaky, and the server said these were made on site. Our server tonite was a young man and he was taking care of business; he would have made Quark the bar keeper proud. Lastly, this is a quiet place. The TV was on a basket ball ball game. Tonite the music was generic soft jazz. Sometimes in the afternoon its on an R&B channel for the music. The music sits in the background and doesn't interrupt conversations. The interior is softly decorated amd comfortable. There are two photos that go with this review: Front Door, Fish Tacos While this is not a five star establishment, as nothing disrupted the dinner giving a 5 star rating.
