Really good service, ambient lightning and an overall easy menu! Lots of options and everything we had was a good size potion and very fresh. There were quite a few salads offered and all of them delicious! Our server was very nice and payed just the right amount of attention to us. Big wine list by the glass with good prices as well. Dessert was their shining star... the key lime pie was DELICIOUS and so fresh. read more

Ordered a pick up dinner consisting of a Burger and Fries, and a Veggie Burger and fries. We live two miles away. The fries were "old" and cold. No temperature whatsoever; they went right in to the garbage. The bun on the Veghie Burger looks like someone sat on it. I could've gotten a more appealing meal at a drive thru fast food restaurant. read more

Been here twice for dinner. Was recommended by my son and his wife who brought us here one night. The food and service is very good. They are open for lunch and dinner. There is a large cocktail menu with a happy hour. The food menu consists of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, burgers, steaks, chicken and seafood dishes. To start we had a grilled artichoke appetizer served with a roumalade. It comes with four. Plenty to share. Very unique appetizer. We had the sliced prime rib French dip sandwich. It comes with a side. My wife had fries and I had Mac n cheese. Everything was delicious. There is an open kitchen right when you walk in. You can see some items being cooked. There is plenty of parking. read more

Solid 4 stars. Lived in Tampa for 30 years and first experience, not sure by its taken so long. Overall delicious meal and definitely will be back. Started with some Caesar salads, followed by Maui steak with Mac and cheese and filet with loaded potato. Complete with warm carrot cake and all around a damn fine dinner. Deducted a star for service. It's wasn't bad when we saw them, but also had to flag them down several times. read more

Always consistent with their food and service. Even on New Years Eve when they were busy.

Been there at least a dozen times for lunch and dinner. Always a good stop when we're in the Westshore area. Great food, wine, and impeccable service. read more

Been wanting to try this place for several years now and finally had a chance to go. Amazing Prime Rib and smashed potatoes. Enjoyed the ambiance. Not busy at all on Friday late afternoon but it picked up nicely amount 5:30. Would return in a heartbeat. read more

I have been here twice and both times were just ok. First time I tried their special which was some kind of crusted fish and it was on the bland side. Second time I tried their special which was crispy snapper sandwich. It was almost on the dry side and still kind of bland. We started with the calamari and that was nice and tender. But overall, I wish I could like it more than I do. read more

Excellent food and wonderful service everything was delicious. I will visit again. This place is a must-try! Everything we ordered was so good. The service was also top-notch, really friendly and attentive. We were so impressed and totally stuffed. Definitely coming back for more! read more

I was recommended this place by a friend and wow she was on point!! Her first recommendation and it was a hit lol. This place had phenomenal food we started off with deviled eggs and spinach queso dip which were both very tasty. The spinach queso dip might have been the most fire spinach dip I've ever tried, I'm still reminiscing about it sheesh. We enjoyed our food a ton kudos to the chef. You guys have to try the maui steak, mac & cheese, and the warm carrot cake which they are known for. Maui steak was bomb guys I recommend it!! Ambiance was nice and service was excellent our server was incredibly attentive. We stayed until the place closed I love staying to the end and closing down the restaurant it's my duty lol. I will definitely come back!!! read more

Great place . Good service. Food is very good with a nice assortment of dishes. Servers always positive. Never rushed and peaceful place for a good time read more

Sadly was not a great experience. We experienced very slow service even though the restaurant was not full. Food was average. We tried the artichokes, French dip, burger and ceasar salad with chicken. All edible but nothing to go back for. Ambiance was a bit dated. read more

The staff is top notch and seem to work well as a team. Queso is warm and chips are fresh. I like how they always ask us if we want more chips - we never have to ask. The tuna is cooked perfectly and my husband loves the prime rib sandwich. It's not on the menu but they will make it happen. martinis are served with a side car that's kept cold. Hard working crew that makes really good food. read more

Great service, wonderful daily food specials and a nice atmosphere. We stopped by for "linner" (lunch/dinner) and were treated to a delightful experience. The fire roasted artichoke starters were done perfectly and the remoulade dipping sauce was to die for. I had the Mesa burger and my wife had the Caesar salad with grilled shrimp both were great. If you're in the area stop and enjoy. read more

I've driven by countless times, have been told countless times that it's an absolute must eat there place, and it did not disappoint!! I was craving prime rib and wanted to try a new place, so I finally gave J. Alexander's a try. The prime rib was fantastic! Best cut I've had in a long time. The rub is a little salty, but it wasn't enough to take away from the rest. The service was great, I will be back again very soon!! read more

I use to love this place...service and food quality were consistent with price. The purpose of this review is specific to the Mr Jack's chicken tenders platter. They use to be a favorite of everyone I knew in Tampa...literally the best in Tampa even better than Publix deli. Now they are shriveled over breaded chicken strips. Not even a comparison of what they use to be. I hope whoever made the decision for the change is reaping great profits from providing a subpar product for a premium price. read more

We were promptly greeted and seated in a booth. They are very good at cleaning the tables between customers. The menu is very nice with lots of choices, food is fresh and made to order. It was a nice quiet atmosphere for a late lunch. Our server, Walter, was very informative and brought our drinks after checking on us. My husband ordered the steak burger medium rare and it was perfectly prepared. The skinny fries were also hot and crispy. My house salad with the cilantro dressing was very good with bacon and tomatoes. It was a very nice venue and the food exceeded our expectations. I believe you get what you pay for and I found the prices to be right on. There is plenty of parking and seating. read more

Who doesn't love this place! Great atmosphere and better food. Always feel welcome. I can't remember the bartenders name, maybe Melissa? Either way they're all great. read more

I live so close by J. Alexander's but I only been here at least 3 times. It's been there for so many years & always busy. But, you can make reservations. The staff is super friendly. I also like the open kitchen concept. I ordered the Fire Grilled Artichokes which I noticed that a lot of people order this appetizer. This is so good & tasty. I will order again. For the main entree, I ordered the Fresh Salmon Sandwich with Not Your Ordinary Mac N Cheese. The salmon was cooked to perfection. The Mac N Cheese is absolutely wonderful. It's always nice & cozy in here, I would recommend anyone to go. read more

Date Night at J Alexander's!! It is always delicious and where we go for date nights. Simple cheeseburger and chicken sandwich are to-die-for!!! Ava was our server today and 100/10 for her.. Thanks so much for making our night amazing!!! I see people mentioning wait-times.. we have been here about a dozen times.. you have to know when to go. We are always seated immediately.. and have our soup and drinks on the table within 4 minutes and meals within 10 minutes. We go during the week, after sunset.. Love the vibe and service! read more

I came here with family to celebrate my niece's birthday. I really enjoyed the food and the service was excellent! We were very comfortably seated at one of their round booths. I had the spinach queso dip as an appetizer and everyone in the family loved it. I ordered the prime rib as the main course and it was also very good. I would definitely return to eat here! read more

J. Alexander's - Prime Rib - Steakhouses Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I was there yesterday F first time I ordered prime rib and cut medium. The meat came out medium. The amount of salt on my meat was ridiculous. I told the waiter. He said OK it will switch it because they season that a little bit more. No, that's not it. The chef has a heavy, heavy hand with salt, and that's bad. There is salt at the table if I need more, but I couldn't eat it then they brought me a middle cut that was also. Too salty The potatoes were good. The salad was good. The chef should go for retraining and lighten up on the salt. You can't take it out you could always add more and they give you a soul taker what's wrong with these people it's very common around here. read more

Enjoyed a quiet lunch on a Saturday afternoon at Redlands Grill. There is indoor and outdoor dining but it was so hot we stayed inside. We ordered salads - Chicken and the Thai. Both were huge and refreshing! Perhaps not worth $18 but service was good. The restaurant is probably best known for steaks and wine. Parking was plentiful in a lot shared with the orthopedic institute. read more

Mmmmm! Y'all! Walked over from the Element hotel & headed across the street to Redlands as a last night in town dinner. Outdoor Patio had one couple seated, 3 empty tables. Asked inside and they said it was first come, first serve. PERFECT!!! Considering the wait was 30 min (on a Friday night). We sat down and were greeted by the waiter. Asked for recommendations. Gave us a nice run down. We all decided on one recommendation, the prime rib. I got Cesar salad to start. It was huge!! So much so, I served quite a bit to my friend. Got the prime rib and talk about melt in your mouth flavoriciousness!! It was a huge 12 oz. And way more than I needed!! But it was soooo good!!! Served with a side of au-jus, I also asked for some horseradish. Mmmmmmm! Fantastic choice. Fantastic dinner! Nice service from the multiple servers taking care of the patio. I'd definitely come back for this dish. read more

Mothers Day 2023 Service spectacular Ambiance usually good Today on Mother's Day we were surprised that we had two adjoining tables that had small unruly toddlers and screaming babies. For $350 for four people we expected better ambience than this. We couldn't even hear the waitress recite the specials...that's how loud the baby was screaming. Of course the mother tried to console the infant for over 10 minutes at the table disturbing all the other patrons who just wanted a nice peaceful meal with their families. Not the restaurants fault but at this price point get a babysitter read more

Still one of my favorite spot in town. The food and service is always amazing. I highly recommend Mac and cheese read more

I love this place! So many of the food options you can't go wrong with! I've been to this one before and after they changed the name but the options on the menu still seem to be the same which in my opinion is a good thing! If ain't broke, don't fix it! This particular time I got the salmon with Mac and cheese on side and we got the carrot cake to share! Omg the salmon was a special and it came with a Asian glaze that was sweet and tangy and so yummy and omg the Mac n cheese-hands down theeee best! One of my fave sides to get and the dessert-OMG OMG OMG! First time ever having it but it won't be the last, I mean a warm slice of heaven just super soft, moist and warm in the mouth! OMG literally dreaming about it again as I type this! Don't skip dessert! Service is always good and I always love the ambiance because it's romantically lit which I like oh and let's not forget the pomegranate martinis-DELISH!!! read more

J Alexander's is one of my top favorite restaurants of all time. It's SO good, no matter which location you go to. So consistent, which is one of the best parts about it. The ambience is nice, dimly lit and feels intimate. The service is always amazing and professional. And it's also super quick. They have their kitchen down to a science. Also, literally every single menu item here is good - it is SO hard for me to choose what I want every time I come. I love the Alex salad with the champagne vinaigrette dressing, the Jack's crispy chicken strips (best chicken tenders you will ever get EVER and I would never order them anywhere else), the veggie burger, the maui steak, the fish dip appetizer, the cheese/artichoke dip appetizer, the carrot cake (legendary, get it with vanilla ice cream on the side), and the powerful stuff (an off menu item they only have sometimes for dessert). You truly cannot go wrong at j alexanders, no matter what you order and what location you go to - they are consistent and delicious ALWAYS. read more

Service was great, and we had the salmon special with the night. Salmon was fresh and bang bang sauce went well with it. Pretty busy for a Sunday night, and carrot cake was tasty. Prices are higher than expected. read more

J. Alexander's - Mahi special - Steakhouses Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Tonight's restaurant experience was not pleasant. The reason it wasn't pleasant is because the french fries that this place serves are shoestring french fries that get cold before they even get to you. These french fries are even thinner than MD's french fries. I was offered a different side but was very disappointed by the French fries. A place that charges with these people charge should serve more hardy french fries that don't get cold before they get to you. read more

Disgusting and dirty is all I really have to say. Every dining utensil and glass at my table was dirty and had to ask MULTIPLE TIMES to replace the dirty dishes that were supposed to be clean. I went home feeling very sick after that experience. Save your time and do not come here. read more

Infrequent customer reporting in.... Arrived at 630p on a Friday night with no reservation. We did call ahead by 15min for our party of 3, which would grow to a party of 5 around 7pm. Hostess and wait staff were very flexible and accommodating. Stephane took good care of us. We never had to look for her and she didn't flinch we asked her for separate checks. Food was tasty for the most part. We dined on: Steak and broccoli Salmon burger and broccoli Fried chicken salad Artichokes (not our cup of tea) Salmon could have been seasoned a bit more. The restaurant was packed and hence loud. Didn't matter cause our party was loud, too! We'd definitely return in the future. read more

I have been here a couple times. The first time was a great experience. The staff was knowledgeable and attentive, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was so romantic. The second was as good as the first the staff was less attentive and I did not make the best food choice. I ended up returning the food because it was too pink for me. The manager, I believe, gave us a new plate. Unfortunately I just wasn't feelin the dish. But I am suprised that they gave me another one. read more

J Alexander's is absolutely my favorite steakhouse in Tampa. We have been eating there for years. We love the atmosphere and the food is incredible. The salads are great, the sides are amazing and the prime rib is to die for. My favorite salad is the Salmon Salad if im wanting something lite. The grilled artichokes are a absolute must every time we go. The orzo and wild rice side or mac and cheese are my go to sides. If I want a grande steak I go with the prime rib. It truly is my favorite thing on the menu. If there is any room left the carrot cake is something you won't soon forget. We also enjoy a nice glass of wine and or a cocktail which they have an abundance of top shelf choices. By far my go to place when we have out of town guests. read more

All of the staff/the background music and the food make this place an awesome place to be. I just celebrated my birthday there a couple minutes ago and I'm certain that I chose the right place to celebrate read more

What is there not to love?? I have been to J. Alexander's many times but it has been about 5 years since I have darkened the doorstop of one of my favorite spots to eat in Tampa. Galentine 2021 thank you for bringing me back home! I was expecting a very crowded restaurant and slow service because of Valentines Day and I am so happy that was not the case at all. With a larger party size, usually someone has a complaint-not one word was uttered as we ate-everyone was highly pleased. I had my favorite-the rotisserie chicken and I substituted the mash with the NYO Mac and cheese! I am very hard to please when it comes to Mac and cheese-but this blend of white cheeses and the crumble on top always does the trick! For my appetizer I ordered calamari-I am not a fan of marinara so I asked for an aioli and my my my-that was the way to go!! I haven't been to many places but I felt safe and comfortable at J. Alexander's. Happy to have felt some normalcy while enjoying amazing food! read more
