I'm a parent to a Naval Academy student, so I don't come to Annapolis often. But I remembered dining at J. Alexander's once before, and it was good enough for me to come back--and it did not disappoint. For this area, the cost was surprisingly budget‑friendly, especially considering the quality. The town center around it has clearly changed, with several stores and restaurants closed and even the old adjacent parking lot gone. But once we walked inside, the experience was excellent. Our server was friendly, helpful, and honest with her recommendations. My daughter and I both ordered the Chicken Palermo, and it was outstanding--fresh, tasty, and served in portions that rival anything back home in Texas. The broccoli was delicious, and I swapped one side for Brussels sprouts, which were just as good. read more

I was really disappointed with this J. Alexander's location. The Caesar salad was completely overloaded with dressing, making it feel careless and unbalanced. For a restaurant with a full bar, it was surprising they had no mezcal and were supposedly out of top-shelf bourbon, yet still served me a drink that tasted overly sweet and nothing like the premium bourbon I ordered. Another letdown was the lack of bread service. Other J. Alexander's locations usually serve croissants, so having none available took away from the experience. The food didn't make up for it either. The steak lacked flavor and felt low quality for the price. The "fried chicken platter" was basically oversized chicken tenders marketed as an entrée, and the mac and cheese was watery and bland instead of rich and creamy. Overall, the experience felt inconsistent and poorly executed. Between the missing staples, questionable bar service, and underwhelming food, this location did not feel worth the cost. read more

Joined a friend here for a birthday dinner and had a great experience from start to finish. The valet parking was convenient, which set the tone right away. The restaurant itself is beautiful inside--clean, well-designed, and has a really nice, relaxed atmosphere. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome without being overbearing. I ordered the prime rib and salad and it was excellent--fresh, well-balanced, and the steak was cooked just right. I also had the parmesan baked potato, and it was perfection. We also tried the rattlesnake pasta--very flavorful, but a bit too spicy for me personally. My friend loved it though, so if you enjoy a good kick, it's definitely worth trying. Everything came out timely and looked as good as it tasted. Overall, a great spot for a nice dinner or special occasion. I'd definitely come back. read more

This review is long overdue as I started the draft some time ago! I have visited J. Alexander's twice for dinner a couple months apart. For me there's a lot to like. It's an elevated casual establishment with really good American food and a great wine, spirits and cocktail menu too. The atmosphere is chic and lively at dinnertime and the service is consistent and attentive. They also offer larger party private dining options. I really need to get back there soon! read more

We were in the area after a long day out and the honey pot picked J. Alexander to grab a bite! He had come before with his mom and loved it so I was excited to come. If he liked it, it's good! We were sweaty from being out all day so we opted for the bar. Ambiance is upscale/casual if that makes sense. I felt comfortable coming in with shorts but you could definitely dress up as they do have a dining area. Staff were super hospitable from the front, to the bartender, to the servers. Let's get into it! Lobster Roll - Great! I love a shoe string French fry! Yummers! Cypress Salad - Was absolutely delicious! Can't wait to come back to enjoy more of the menu! read more

We passed J.Alexander's a trillion times before deciding to pop in for lunch with our mini one day, and I'm glad we finally checked them out. I thought the service was really attentive because multiple of their staff members checked on us and attended to our needs during a weekend, late afternoon visit. They were also clean inside with classy decor that felt appropriate for a business meeting, celebrating a special occasion, date night, or for having a nice family dinner. I loved my grilled artichoke and thought the Hong Kong shrimp was really tasty and flavorful. I also thoroughly enjoyed the Caesar with lots of anchovies but I was stuffed after having those items and sharing some of baby girls chicken tenders and fries so I didnt order an entree for myself. Hubby had the Maui steak and said it was pretty bland and lacked any hint of the marinade described and he didn't like the mashed potatoes he said tasted boxed, so 4 stars are because i thought J. Alexander's was perfect and the Mr. said he would absolutely NOT return. I'm going to have to circle back for happy hour. read more

Great service! Great food! If you can ask for Ivelisse as your waitress. She was amazinggggg! It was my first time there and she let us know what were the most popular options as well as her favorites. Anything we needed she got us quickly!! She even let us try the wines before we ordered our glass. All of the employees were great on 5/23! Great hospitality and food. The New York strip and loaded potato was so good!! The burger and Mac and cheese were good as well! I will definitely be back soon. read more

Excited to see another quality restaurant pop up in Annapolis Town Center and found the perfect time to make that trip. Mother's Day 2025 it is!! Mom dressed in her Sunday's best, and was treated like a star. So many staff members stopped by our table to compliment how pretty she was. We didn't even have to eat, she was overwhelmed just by that.. Lol The food was outstanding. My all time favorite steak is the "Houston's Hawaiian" Ribeye and J. Alexander's must have stolen one of their chefs because their "Steak Maui" is identical to the Houston's Hawaiian!! I was in heaven! My mother really enjoyed her jumbo fried shrimp but her loaded baked potato took the cake!! J. Alexander is borderline upscale but reasonably priced if you're not trying to spend a fortune for a quality meal. The design is a mix between traditional and contemporary, so definitely nothing over the top. I love this new edition to the Annapolis restaurant scene and we'll most certainly be back!!! read more

I have to review J Alexander after my best friend and I were accommodated so greatly on Valentine's Day evening! It seems as if J Alexander was the place to be on Friday night! Many many couples were in attendance this night and last minute plan me, my best friend and I arrived on a whim not knowing if we'd get a seat. Lucky day, our hostest seated us right at our arrival and then.. a time was had! Great food (with big portions), great (strong) drinks, and great conversation commenced! Our server, Miguel kept our faces smiling and glasses full all night, and I would love to return! read more

Our first visit to J. Alexander's was the perfect way to end a great date night after the movies! The restaurant has a very nice vibe--warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxed evening out. From start to finish, the service was excellent, and our server, Billy, took great care of us. The shrimp appetizer was so good, and the salad was extremely fresh. For entrées, the King Cut Prime Rib was cooked to perfection, and the Mahi Mahi with crab special was absolutely delicious--grilled perfectly with an almost Cajun blackened seasoning that was amazing. We ended the night with the absolutely delicious key lime pie. The only thing we regret is not taking more pictures--we were too busy enjoying the food! We'll be better prepared next time. This was our first visit to J. Alexander's, but it definitely won't be our last! read more

This was my first time trying J.Alexander and it just opened a few months ago in Annapolis. I popped in one afternoon for lunch with my girlfriend. It's a really beautiful restaurant perfect for a lunch meeting or a date. There is a huge bar, high tops, and quite a few tables up the ramp. My server for lunch was Mariah. She recommended great suggestions for our first visit & took great care of us. In addition to her, management even stopped by to make sure everything was to our liking. That was a special touch to let us know they care about their guest experiences. For drinks, I tried a couple martinis. I tried two of their handcrafted cocktails. I love that the martinis come with a little extra on the side. It's like 2 drinks for the price of 1. The bartender balanced them really nice. I highly recommend the Fleur-de-lis. For appetizers, we tried the Hong Kong shrimp, avocado bomb, and Huevo rolls off the special menu. The portion sizes were great and everything was flavorful. For entrees, I ordered the lobster roll and substituted the fries for the lemon Reggiano broccoli. My friend ordered the prime rib. For a side we were dying to try the not your ordinary Mac so we added that as well. The food came out in a timely manner. Let me just say both meals were AMAZING! I loved how they dressed the lobster roll up and the meat was so fresh! That broccoli is by far the best I had from a restaurant. I came home and tried to remake it for my lunch the next day. I sampled my friend's Prime Rib. It was cooked to perfection. I definitely can't wait to go back and order my own on the next visit. The Mac was really good for a restaurant. I usually don't order Mac at restaurants because not everyone can do Mac n Chz correct. They baked this Mac to perfection. I will def be ordering that again too. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream to split. If you are a chocolate lover this is for you!!!! J.Aelxander hit a home run with everything we had. Thanks again to the staff and management for making this a remomorable visit. See you again REAL SOON. read more

My partner and I used to visit a J. Alexander in Atlanta. It's been over 10 years but the nostalgia is still there. Here in Annapolis, the food was 10/10 Filet mignon and steak and frites - do it! My biggest rave is how hot and perfectly cooked the food was cooked. Oscar was our server, pleasant, professional and sealed the deal on the experience. We'll be back and there won't be a decade between visits. Ps. Liberty School Cab Sauv pairs great with both steaks. read more

A Favorite That Always Delivers Some restaurants become more than just places to eat--they become part of your memories. J. Alexander's is absolutely one of those places for me. I visited to celebrate a special anniversary and the achievement of a certification I had been studying hard for, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. From the moment we walked in, everything felt right. The ambiance was upscale yet welcoming, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening. Service was outstanding--attentive without feeling overbearing--and the food was nothing short of perfect. The steaks were cooked exactly to temperature, with every bite packed with flavor. And then there's the carrot cake... truly a standout. Rich, decadent, and unforgettable, it was the perfect sweet ending to a night worth celebrating. Even now, I find myself thinking about that meal often. J. Alexander's isn't just a restaurant--it's my favorite spot, and it's a place I'll return to whenever I want to celebrate something special (or just want a flawless dining experience). read more

We had a reservation for 4 at 315pm on a Sunday. We were seated immediately. Everyone was awesome. The food was good. Husband said his roasted chicken was ok and could have been cooked a little longer. My friend said the Nashville chicken was ants but salty. We didn't get dessert. We were heading to a movie and didn't think it would do well in the heat of the trunk for later. Bathrooms were nice and clean. Restaurant was clean and well lit. Manager on the floor cake by and introduced herself - which was a great touch. I'd definitely go back again. They have a parking area adjacent to the restaurant which is really good read more

I wanted to stay in Annapolis but wasn't quite sure what I wanted to eat. Did a quick search and found this delight of a place. I was able to make reservations on the same day (Saturday) My wife and I arrived and were quickly seated. The restaurant has a nice intimate feel however this place was jumping. Tons of people inside with everyone having a good time. Our waitress was sweet. Made good suggestions and was very attentive. For starters we ordered the Crispy Calamri while my wife had a lemon drop for a drink. The Clamari was in fact crispy. Very solid crunch. The marinara sauce was PIPING hot. Good start to our dinner. The lemon drop was a good mix of alcohol and juice. They provide you the cup along with the remainder on the side. BIG TIME PLUS. For Dinner, I was starving. I ordered the Steak N Fries, along with the Rockfish and Not your Ordinary Mac & Cheese. The steak was delicious! Nice and juicy. Cooks to perfection. Fries were crispy. The Fish was tasty and the mashed potatoes were GREAT!!! The Mac & Cheese is definitely not ordinary. There was a tangy taste that I could do without. It was missing something but the rest of my food was so good I could easily overcook it. My wife ordered the Steak Brazil with mashed Potatoes & Broccoli. She also enjoyed her food. Broccoli was fresh. Mashed Potatoes were delicious. She preferred the filet cooked a little more but still ate them. I'd happily come back and plan on returning to J. Alexander. It was a great time. Great service, Wonderful atmosphere, and good food. I enjoyed myself. read more

I've heard good things about this place so I decided to stop by. They did a great job with the decor and design of the space. It's definitely an upgrade from the last restaurant that was here. For the appetizer, I had the calamari. No complaints there. It was perfectly fried calamari with marinara sauce. For my entrée, I got the special that day, which was steak brazzo with mashed potatoes and broccoli. The Madeira sauce, mashed potatoes, broccoli were good, but I wasn't a fan of the steak. Because of the way the dish is prepared, you don't get to choose how you want the steak cooked. The way that it was cooked was a little too done for my liking. This restaurant has excellent customer service. Once I notified my waiter of the issue, he brought me a menu so I could order something else. I selected the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. It was a large piece of chicken dipped in hot sauce served with slaw and pickles on a brioche bun. Delicious. The sandwich has a little kick but I wound't consider it spicy, which is fine by me. This is the newest restaurant in the Town Center and I'm sure it will do well. I'll be back to try some other dishes. read more

The marinara was top with parmesan. Wine, draft and craft beer available. Def recommend the midnight margarita, and the untitled art. Our dinner entrees were tasteful and cooked to perfection. Service was great. Staff were very attentive and met all needs. If you're looking for some fine dining , come out and enjoy at J. Alexander's ! read more

We were in town for the Annapolis Power Boat Show and staying at the Double Tree Hotel on Holiday Court. While going on a walk, we found this place. It was around eight at night. It looked crowded inside, so we decided to see what the menu looked like and if any tables were available. One of the hostesses saw us coming and opened the door for us. They showed us a menu that looked well-rounded and had things we were interested in, and then we were seated right away. Immediately, a waiter greeted us, brought us water, and ordered our drinks. Then our real waiter came and introduced himself and told us about the specials for the evening. So let me say something about the service. It was well-coordinated teamwork. Because our waiter was busy with another table, another waiter jumped in, so we were not waiting long. That is impressive! We ordered the Midnight margarita, Vodka mule, Fire-grilled artichokes, pecan-encrusted trout, Street corn, and Not your ordinary Mac and cheese. The Midnight margarita came in a non-stemmed, short, but stubby glass. It was made with Corazón Reposado Tequila, Cointreau, Black Cherry Jam, and Pink Himalayan Salt. I was balanced superbly. It looked and tasted sophisticated. It was probably the best margarita I've had. And I've been to Mexico many times. The Vodka mule had Wheatley Vodka and Fever Tree Ginger Beer. It, too, was well-balanced, had the right amount of ice, and was not watered down. That bartender knows what they are doing! Fire-grilled artichokes. They were marinated and basted over an open fire with a herbed cream dipping sauce. They looked beautiful and tasted juicy and delicious. Because you eat this with your hands, a waitress brought wet, heated towels to cleanse them. One of the best things on the menu! The Pecan-encrusted trout was perfectly filleted and butterflied, sat on top of a bed of seasoned pearl couscous, and had a side of steamed and buttered broccoli. There was also a swipe of sauce for dipping. That dish was excellent. The Street corn was off-the-cob, perfectly seasoned with Mexican spices and silky with crunch. It was like crack. It didn't last long. Not your ordinary Mac and cheese. Indeed, there was nothing normal about it. They may have used gruyere cheese, but it was...sophisticated. It was an adult mac and cheese with a crumb topping. Like a bowl of Lucky Charms, it was magically delicious. From start to finish, J Alexander's staff was a well-oiled machine. They were attentive, personal, and efficient, and genuinely cared about their jobs, co-workers, customers, and most importantly, their food. We learned that this location has only been open for a week (as of this review). I couldn't believe how coordinated they were. Billy, our waiter, was outstanding, and everything was excellent. read more

I recently dined at J. Alexander's and was thoroughly impressed with the experience. We started with Lemon Martinis - very good. We ordered the **steak and cheese egg rolls**, which were perfectly crispy on the outside and filled with tender, flavorful steak. They were a fantastic appetizer that set the tone for the meal. For the main course, I ordered the **ribeye**, and it did not disappoint. Cooked to perfection, the steak was juicy and rich with flavor, exactly what you'd hope for in a ribeye. The sides were equally well-prepared, and the service was top-notch--attentive without being intrusive. The ambience gives casual sophistication. You can dress down or up for dinner.

I was definitely surprised with this restaurant. We had no problem scheduling a reservation on Resy. I didn't know what to expect walking in but the ambiance was very pleasant. We were instantly greeted with kindness and escorted to our table. The decor is casual yet casual-ish. It wasn't loud or packed. I love how you are able to see inside of the kitchen (depending on your seat). Our server, Sarah, was amazing. I would actually love to have her when I get a chance to return. Now, let's get into the good part. I ordered a Doppelgänger and a glass of Elouan Pinot. Both were really tasty. For an appetizer, we ordered the crab dip. It was pretty good. The only tidbit I'd mention is that the scallions are on top AND inside. (Just an FYI if you're not really a fan of true scallion flavor.) For the entree, I ordered the "Steak Brazzo" from the daily menu. I was steak medallions, on top of mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy, with broccoli. The broccoli was tasty. I think they added lemon when cooking it. The mash and gravy was great, not bland and not too salty. The steak was cooked pretty nice. The flavor was interesting. It definitely tasted like they marinated in vinegar or something. The initial bite of each piece of meat was good but then it definitely had the vinegarish kick as an after taste. So I'm still contemplating on how I feel about it. Overall, I think it's a pretty good spot. The food came out very timely. Whenever we needed assistance, other servers eagerly jumped to help. The staff definitely made it a great experience. I gave an extra star just off the service. I definitely recommend trying this place. read more

I've attended a dinner party in their private room, dined in the main room, and have sat in the bar area. Each experience is better than the last.

Wonderful time with great friends. We did have an extended wait time, even with arriving 30 minutes early. Once seated, we had a great waitress who went over the menu and suggested a few items. I was looking at the chicken strips with fries and asked her if the dish was good. She proceeded to tell me it was the best chicken she had ever had. I inquired if she had the chicken stips from Chili's ( they are really good, IMO). She had not, so I asked her how she would compare them to Chick fil'A. Told me again that they these are better. I was convinced that I was going to have the best chicken strips that I ever had. With her glowing recommendation, I order the chicken strips. They came out with some cole slaw and shoestring French Fries and immediately dived in to try a strip. I will say that the strips are good but they don't compare to the others. They have their own distint taste and are good, but I wouldn't tell anyone they are the best ever. Everyone in my group enjoyed their meal. We didn't feel rushed as we were literally the last table in the restaurant to leave. I look forward to visiting again with my family. read more

Took my friend there for her birthday. She has been there several times but this was my first and last. We were the first customers on Wednesday . Upon entering, the restaurant smells like sewage . We sat at the bar area... the waitresses/ bartenders energy was idk... blah. We ordered two lemon drop martinis. They tasted more like lemonade. My friend usually orders this when she comes and said it didn't taste the same as other times. We ordered an appetizer , cheese steak egg rolls . They were fine but took about 30 min to get to the table. I wasn't impressed and for sure was not paying those prices for sub par service and a sewage smell. Two men came in after us sat down and asked for smelling salt! The server asked how the drinks were, I said they were just ok... she didn't offer to remake them till I asked for them to be removed from the bill. We packed up the appetizer and went to Cheesecake where I knew the drinks and service are great. read more

I attended a friend's birthday dinner if you weeks ago and I was surprised by a few things. I'm running out of dessert although I ordered it before I ordered my meal them charging for a birthday dessert. I've been to many establishments that have run out of dessert so I know to order before I order my main course but I was a little upset that although our server offered it to us, they failed to mention they were out of it until I specifically ordered it. It's a good note to request your dessert as soon as you sit down. I did not see an entree that piqued my fancy so I decided to try two appetizers instead and ordered the avocado bomb and calamari. The avocado bomb was bland and desperately needed some spice. The calamari was fried so hard and crispy you could almost see through it. I ended up having to send it back I ordered the lobster roll instead. Also, nothing to write home about. Hi I just wasn't impressed. Although the decor was really nice and the bar seemed to have a lot of different options, I just was not impressed at all. The wait staff and servers were very attentive though. They are not on my list of places to return to. read more

Unfortunately, this was a bad experience at JAlexanders. The grill was not working and the first 3 choices I made were not available because they were grilled items.

We had salads for our light dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the fried chicken salad - wow they were generous with the chicken! Loved this place and our server.

We have eaten here a few times and the food was good. However, we ate there recently and ordered the steak rolls. They were flavorless and were missing many of the ingredients that made it sound so delicious on the specials menu. The meat was chopped so much we couldn't tell if it was steak or ground beef. They were also very greasy. We both left half of our meals uneaten, which we never do. When we entered the restaurant there was a strong smell of bleach and other cleaning products. We really should have turned around and gone somewhere else. I doubt we'll be back. read more
