Food prep/storage needs improvement. Still sick from last nights crab cakes and Cole slaw

It's been a while since we've been here. We had high hopes. The server was polite, but they kept making mistakes. .... Updated review... I spoke with a manager. They're offering to make it better. I'll leave the stars as is and withhold comments until next time... read more

I cannot express enough how great of an experience Gavin A. gave us tonight. He was extremely prompt but not in the way, always served with a smile and took great care in the small things like keeping the table well maintained. The food was also delicious but the reason I'm writing this review is due to Gavin's amazing service! Thank you. read more

First time at Redlands Grill! Made reservations via RESY and it was fast and easy for lunch. Restaurant design was modern with an upscale look. We were seated promptly and our waitress quickly took drink orders. We had fried artichokes as a shared appetizer, my wife the Fish Taco daily special and I ordered the Nashville Chicken sandwich. The fried artichokes (4) were very nicely done, with an accompanying roulade that was delicious. The Nashville Chicken Sandwich seemed like a preformed patty, which was a turn-off and rather dry. Shoe string fries were hot and fresh. The Fish Tacos (3) were tasteless and the heated tortillas had a cardboard texture. Sad for a 'special' of the day. Dessert was their warmed Carrot Cake with gooey cream cheese frosting. Huge piece of flat cake that was very good. French Press coffee was excellent and plentiful. Redlands Grill is a lovely setting and a nice addition to the area. Hopefully, the kitchen will up their game in the future. read more

We were in town for our 45th wedding anniversary. Our server Channing did a great job. Very attentive and professional. Our steaks were excellent and the carrot cake was the perfect finish. Nice place! read more

Absolutely amazing experience, wonderful food. Highly recommend it, went there for Valentine's Day with the wife and we had a great time. The new York strip tasted incredible. read more

I have been coming to Redlands since it grand opened. I can tell their service level continues to decline. Very unfortunate! The food is really good but some of their staff have shown either no experience or no desire to work. Today I came here with my wife and my daughter. My daughter just came back home from her freshman year in college and has never been here. We were excited to show her this place. The waiter for our table was so unfriendly and just seemed no Interest to work. He brought us one round of drinks and since then he just disappeared! It is Monday night and was not busy at all. I ordered a Cowboy ribeye and a glass of red. After I finished my glass and half way into the steak, I couldn't find him. So I had to walk to the kitchen and looked for him. Finally the Manager Daniel came by and took care of the situation. So, that is the reason I give it 1 star today. I usually do not rate this low but this level of service for a mid-upper level restaurant is NOT acceptable. I won't be back for a while... read more

Third time here. Came with my wife and son (23). He said his, " ribeye was the best steak he's had ever". I ordered the Tuscany steak which came with smashed potatoes. Very well seasoned strip steak. My wife had the vegan burger again and gave my son a taste. He said it tadte awesome also. Both of our old fashioned with knob creek were well mixed. Kylie our waitress was fantastic and attentive. read more

I like to give my hype to the underdogs. The small businesses that bet everything on their business and head into it full force. Yesterday though, I was in the mood for a juicy steak and Redland's never disappoints me. I went around lunchtime and it was moderately busy, but we were seated immediately. I ordered the steak rolls, a wedge salad, a 22 oz bone in ribeye, a side of not your ordinary Mac & cheese, and the loaded bake potato came standard with the meal. The steak rolls were so hot and juicy and a large portion for an appetizer! The wedge salad was okay. It would have been better with some diced red onions and less dressing. The steak and the sides were plenty to share between two people. Even after splitting it, I had left overs. I Mac&Cheese is perfect. Like legitimately 100% perfect! If you hate this Mac&Cheese you are not my kind of people. Follow me on on IG & TikTok: KrisPBacon210 read more

Dropped in for lunch while finishing up our Christmas shopping. Our server Santiago was delightful, knowledgeable, and provided fantastic service. The food arrived promptly and tasted as delicious as expected. I ordered the chili as the weather for perfect for a hearty soup, it was easily top 5 chili I've ever had and I'm a huge chili fan. It had good spice that provided heat but enhanced the flavor. My husband had the tuna stack and the seasonal veggies (spaghetti squash with marinara). He thoroughly enjoyed both, the flavor of the tuna was fresh and bright and he said it paired perfectly with the sweetness of the crab salad. I ordered the brasserrie chicken and subbed the Mac n cheese for the broccoli. The chicken and mac could have been a meal on its own. The chicken was well seasoned, perfectly crispy, but not greasy at all. I loved the non tradition cheeses used in the mac, the sweet and salty Gruyère paired perfectly with the Parmesan. Will certainly be returning for dinner when our appetites are bigger to try more items on the menu. read more

My wife and I took our boys and the wives for a celebration dinner Monday night, we've eaten here since it was Redland Grill, dinner this evening was way off, all food was cold, "smashed potato's" had the texture of clay and were cold, prime rib was room temp as well. Nobody at our table complained because they felt guilty because we were paying the bill $350.00 plus... I called the manager once we all agreed that the meal was below par, Eric was concerned and apologized and offered to make it right which we appreciated, but we were more concerned that we may be loosing one of our favorite restaurants to low quality food prep.

We love J. Alexander, the service is great, guacamole is Excellent!!! Redfish you can't go wrong. Drinks were excellent. Highly recommend this place! read more

Good food, service, and ambiance. Highly recommend the carrot cake for dessert -- yummy!

This place sucks There were 7 of us at the table and we ordered drinks. 5 of us did not get what we ordered. The drinks are not available. Really????? Not coming back!!! read more

I thoroughly enjoyed the food at Redlands Grill. This is a new restaurant and makes a great addition to the Fiesta Texas/RIM area. Redlands Grill, is a concept by J. Alexander's, it has both seafood and steaks. The atmosphere was very fresh and elegant. It matches with the aesthetics in the surrounding area. I can't say anything bad about my meal. I had a steak and loaded potato. My favorite part was the desserts, I was very impressed with the carrot cake and cheesecake. If you are in the area, this restaurant should be added to your wish list. read more

Made reservations for my wife and my 6 yr old granddaughter. Got seated promptly and greeted my our waiter K.O. Very polite and attentive, well spoken young man. He was patient in explaining the menu and all our options. They do not have a kids menu, however they have kid options and gave our granddaughter her options for a meal. My wife ordered a filet mignon with loaded baked potato, cauliflower. Cocktail consist of a Cucumber martini. She said the martini was refreshing and very delicious. I order the Carolina crab cakes with Mac & Cheese, both were outstanding. Crab cakes were big lump real crab, not imitation. Had a couple Old fashions to wash it down. Drinks were spot on. Granddaughter had (Guess? CHICKEN STRIPS, FRIES with Ranch dressing. She was tired and getting a little hangey. K.O. brought her meal out right away with out us asking. We will definitely be back soon, minus the 3rd wheel so my wife and I can enjoy the ambiance and not feel rushed. Super shout out to K.O. he was outstanding. Will definitely ask for him when we go back. read more

I'd like to preface this review pointing out we went on Christmas Eve. We had a reservation, somewhat early in the evening. The restaurant was pretty busy. The food was pretty good. The salad was fresh and crisp, I ordered balsamic vinaigrette dressing, I got a vessel of oil and a vessel of balsamic - fine. My filet medallions were more medium, not medium rare. My husbands prime rib was very average. The service was poor. I ordered a glass of wine. The other two people at our table had water, which they drank every drop and never offered a refill. I passed around my water I hadn't touched. We couldnt flag down a waiter for a refill. We were offered desert, which we declined. The quickest service of the night was the delivery of the check. This was my second attempt here, likely wont return. I'll go to Perry's or Bobs if I'm in the mood to drop $250+ for a steak. read more

Saw this place from the corner of my eye while driving on the freeway. It intrigued me and my husband and I set up a date lunch. The food was great, from the looks outside it does not call for a very upscale place, but once inside the vibe is 100% different. Very nice atmosphere and ambiance. The food was delicious and the service excellent as well. Will come back for sure ‼ read more

When the restaurant was called Redlands the food was good, but they were out of some of the items. I've been since the name changed to J Alexander's and the food was subpar. My food did not arrive but the rest of the parties food, and when I did get it, it was called another member of my parties. Food was also cold. When I asked the waiter, if he could bring me another, he said it would be another hour. I ordered the salmon and a baked potato. The food was cold, and did not taste good. I would not recommend this place as a top restaurant to visit in San Antonio. I have had two bad experiences at this restaurant. It is not worth the price for the quality of food, and I will not be returning to this establishment. read more

The food,service and ambiance absolutely the very best. Growing up in two family restaurants is how i know what is the best way to take care of patrons and your employees know how done. Hats off to J Alexander.5 star plus for this restaurant read more

This is a maybe ... it's pretty basic and the steak was overcooked - the best thing I had was the mac and cheese. Good ambience for appetizers - save your money for real food go to Bob's Chop house. Even the drinks at Bob's is superior. read more

Came here for our anniversary date night, we started the night off right with the steak rolls, muah! *chefs kiss* As our entrees we ordered the Brasserie Chicken and NY Strip Steak, most of it was delicious except the NYO Mac and cheese that came as a side. The mac had a very peculiar taste. I couldn't place my finger on it, but it didn't jive with us. All the drinks were yummy, I wish we had time to try more. Maybe next time! ;) Don't get me started on the carrot cake. I saw that several tables around us kept ordering the carrot cake, so I ordered it to see what the hype was about.... Omafreagingoodness!!! That cake is definitely something else! That cake was so good that I didn't even want to share it with my spouse! I ate it all myself! Now I feel like I'm going go walk in there one day and order a whole sheet of that cake, because I seriously can't get enough. Shout out to Ashley! She was our server for the night, she was so cool and sweet! read more

Horrible dinner. Tuna stack tasted different and waiter got our order wrong. Gave grilled chicken instead of crispy. We told the waiter and all he said was I'm sorry my salad was tasteless. read more

The reviews are mixed, this one is not, GO! We were a little unsure reading the reviews. Our service was on point, the food was excellent from the appetizers to steaks and chicken. Everything was prepared perfectly and the staff was very attentive. read more

Aside from the horrible service we got from our server, the food was so bland. The menu was very limited. The prices were very high for basic food. I will not return to this place ever again lol I would rather spend my money at much more delicious spots! And prob way cheaper too! I love trying new places and I don't mind spending money, but this is NOT WORTH IT!! Trust me read more

My first time at the La Cantera location, which is/was Redlands Grill? Confusing because outdoor sign says J. Alexander's but there are still things inside the restaurant that say Redlands. The inside was large and very clean. Service was very fast. Ordered couple of cocktails that were very good. The Thai chicken salad was excellent and would get it again. For my entree I ordered the filet mignon and baked potato. The steak had really good flavor and was cooked perfectly to medium rare. The only thing holding it back was the meat was a little tough. It wasn't a buttery tenderness that melts in your mouth, but again the flavor was good. Overall I would return as everything was very good. read more

Generally one of our favorite restaurants (Redlands/Alexanders La Cantera) but I was very surprised to see a dog in the dining room - the desk hostess said service dogs were allowed but I believe a brush up on definition is needed. A service dog is not a miniature poodle seated on lap with no vest. Service dogs are amazing animals that sit beside owners feet or in area under table and wear a vest identifying them as a working dog. So my question - are dogs allowed? My much loved pup was left home read more

This was my first time dining at this location of J. Alexander's and was not disappointed! J. Alexander's has always had an impressive menu, providing many options for all palettes! My Mom and I stopped in for a late lunch after leaving La Cantera and were immediately seated in a booth by the window. The views at this location are great because it sits up on a hill almost parallel to the Eilan Hotel and is so much brighter and open than the Quarry location. We started with the Mexico City Spinach con Queso and Alex's Salad, which were both absolutely delicious! We then shared the Brasserie Chicken and when I say it was large enough for two people, I am not kidding! We each got 2 small cutlets of chicken with a huge scoop of their smashed potatoes, it was more than enough to feed us both and still take some leftover! Overall such a great experience and great service as always with the J. Alexander's group! read more

This place is just amazing, I mean besides their sidecar martinis, good looks, charming personalities and great service this place is just average. Totally kidding, just trying to get your attention!! This place is amazing 12 hours a day and their servers are excite to be here. Besides the bar staff my favorite is CoCo(Nicole) her smile is mesmerizing.....guess that why I'm always here.! read more

I really was taken back by every aspect over my expectations. Service-Adrianna & Patrick-warm friendly, honest in opinion. Wonderful surprise to every tuna dish. The appetizers as large a portion as a meal. Loved the freshness of all good! Homemade tortilla chips. I had tuna tartare & hubby had Caesar salad. Amazing! For entrees we had filet mignon & jumbo lump crab. I thought the prime rib was their signature dish but I really feel like the jumbo crabcakes were very unique and outstanding!! The fillet was cooked perfectly for my husband's desire. We finished with the Keylime pie. Fresh & lite, very flavorful. I was super amazed with the elegance and the richness of the coffee we completed our meal with. Something so simple but this pot of coffee was one of the best roast I've ever had. The wine was perfect. Ambiance very personal. Each booth was very private & yet you felt connected to staff. We'll be back soon. Got to meet the Manager-Garrett Luddeke. This was finely tune team! Loved our dinner. read more

Always a Sunday treat for us! Prime rib is the go to and any appetizer is aways a hit. Staff is always superb and extremely attentive.

Excellent service, and the food is quite enjoyable. Though, I'd note that the food quality doesn't entirely align with the price. The steak is decent, but my personal favorite was the tequila beans. read more

This place was delish! Nice atmosphere for a lunch meeting or with friends at the bar. I had the Nashville chicken sandwich and a bite of each dessert. Carrot cake was Amazing! read more

Nice ambiance and great service. The appetizer (artichokes) were delicious but the rest of the food was ok. Drinks were different and tasted good. I'll need to come back and try different things before I make a final decision on whether or not it's worth the price. read more

The atmosphere was amazing here. I'm a huge fan of dimly lit, romantic eateries. And, this place is definitely one to try out! We were greeted and taken care of by an amazing staff and one of their best chefs. We had their tuna stack, grilled artichokes, shrimp and amazing chips and queso as appetizers. I had a side house salad as well. My main course was their brasserie chicken with southern coleslaw and a loaded baked potato as sides. Let me say, all was delectable!!!! I would highly recommend this place as I myself will be returning! read more
