Had a wonderful dinner with some old friends. First time at JMark's. Our server Cherokee was absolutely amazing. She helped me navigate the menu to find a great dish.Cherokee made my first experience at JMark's beyond 5 stars she is the best. My friend's loved her as well. We will be back to see Cherokee soon. Thank you for not making my first experience feel like a chore. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cozy atmosphere and nice music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you Cherokee for being the jem me and my friends needed. read more

First time at J Mark's and we were seated swiftly. Lucas was our server and so glad he was! He was very attentive, friendly, and what made the overall experience a great one! The food was cooked perfectly, and well priced! The restaurant had a great selection to choose from. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a bit quiet for a sunday afternoon but nothing to complain about.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would definitely return here in the future when in town to get to try more from the menu. The desserts looked so tasty but were too full to give it a try. All of the staff was friendly too, ensuring we had all we needed or if we needed anything else during our meal even though our server was on top of refills and attending to our needs. What a great staff! If you're dining here, be sure to ask for Lucas as your server if available! read more

Had a great experience at this restaurant! Visiting the area, so this was our first time at this restaurant.. it did not disappoint! Mr Paul was our waiter and he was amazing! He explained the menu to us, both food and drinks, and gave us great recommendations and was just a wonderful person. Very polite, professional and friendly.. Because of him and the food, we will definitely be back. Definitely try this place for a quick lunch or a nice sit down dinner. The menu accommodates both!! read more

Paul was my server and he is always wonderful. He made sure my water was always filled and checked on me just enough. I went with the Sandwich and Salad - $ 24.00 - which is half-sandwich-soup-salad. I ordered the chicken salad (All-white-meat chicken salad with sliced grapes & walnuts. Topped with lettuce, tomato, apple wood smoked bacon strips & Havarti cheese on toasted brioche or sliced multi-grain bread. I love their chicken salad! They used to serve it on a croissant, but stopped as the cost was too high. Unfortunately, the brioche is like a small dense hamburger bun and not a good match for the chicken salad - it made the chicken salad taste not as good. Next time I will order it with no bread, no lettuce, and no tomato. I also like their Oriental Salad, which is Mixed greens, shaved grilled chicken breast, mandarin oranges, green onions, snow peas, almonds, bean sprouts & sesame seeds. Tossed in a plum dressing with crispy wontons. Drizzled with Thai peanut sauce. It's a great salad and I love the plum dressing and Thai peanut sauce! [[HIGHLIGHT]]J Marks is a pretty low key mellow restaurant during the day. It's low lighting and easy to talk to your group.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have been for brunch and it's crazy - but they have great prices on Mimosa and Bloody Mary's so it's always busy/ Sad about the croissant being gone - it was a perfect bread match for the chicken salad. read more

None of this probably matters to anybody, but I had a shit day at work and I usually love this place and wanted comfort food . I asked for a grilled chicken fettuccine Alfredo and it looked like they just gave me pulled rotisserie chicken on top of it. What the hell y'all tried it read more

Ventured to Ft Lauderdale to meet up with my girls for happy hour. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The curb appeal was really nice when I arrived.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This was my first time here but I loved that the staff was so friendly and accommodating. To include the owner who chatted it up with us for a bit. The fish dip and hummus plate was really good. I drank Hugo spritzes for the evening, And we had the butter cake to finish off the night and OMG! Soooo delicious. Check them out when in Broward. read more

Prompt, friendly welcome. Great wait service, very attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Large venue with inside and outside seating options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean, comfortable booths and standard height tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Festive music played but not too loudly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The fish and chips meal included cole slaw. When served, the size of the fish pieces seemed more like nuggets, but it was a mid-day deal consisting of smaller portions. The meal was actually quite filling, perfectly fried. The batter was light and crispy. Complimentary soft dinner roll with butter. The homemade lemonade was tart and a free refill is included. Pricing was worth the level of hospitality and quality meal received. read more

Great dinner and outstanding service! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, and the quality exceeded our expectations.

RJ was an awesome server! Friendly, attentive, and made our whole experience even better. He checked on us often, had a great attitude, and made us feel welcome. I'd honestly come back here just to have RJ as our server again. Thanks for the excellent service! read more

This place is the worst I will never go there again.. I sat at a table with my Kids for 10 mins and was not even offered a napkin!! HORRIBLE SERVICE! The host told me 25 min wait trying to discourage me to leave and I was seated in 5 mins. HORRIBLE SERVICE! read more

If nothing else J Marks offers a consistency. The food and service are usually good. I like their Miso salmon with garlic buttered broccoli - delicious. I try to avoid bread, but the warm rolls here are hard to resist. On this visit we had a very good server, friendly and fun which made for a better meal. J Marks has an upscale feel and a great bar area where you can also eat. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]How is good food relaxing, and quiet atmosphere never overcrowded even when there is a full house[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

He did take out, so I can't really speak on the restaurant itself, but the food was delicious! We got the bruschetta and spinach, artichoke dip, and then I had a zucchini pesto pasta, and it was so good! Very healthy and tasty read more

Came for a date night. We were sat immediately, hot bread came out seconds later, drinks and food came quick, it was delicious and our server, Candice was the BEST! She was very nice, attentive, funny, and gave great recommendations. Honestly, I would come back just for her and a lychee martini but the food was delicious that it's a win-win. My man had the Hawaiian steak (bomb) and I had the prime rib sliders (her rec and super yummy). We finished with the chocolate cake and were literally scraping the chocolate and pb off of the plate. The lychee martini was delicious and I'm quite picky with them, so take that as you will :) The espresso martini was ok and the mangotini didn't hit it like the lychee did but tastes are personal! read more

Consistent everytime. Steaks are always cooked to perfection and if somehow once in a blue moon it isn't, they are quick to bring out a new one that is perfect. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My go to spot, good vibe, clean and great staff[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Food is good. Service is very good. Bartenders pour a good cocktail. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Desperate to find a decent chopped salad, we tried J. Marks for the first time (after being disappointed so many times by other restaurants). The first thing that struck us was the attentiveness of our server, John - he was absolutely tremendous. A real class act - eloquent, a real gentleman - could not have been more attentive or given us better service. The chopped salad was fantastic - but we were so impressed with the whole experience that we spoke to the manager, Juan - who was just as wonderful - and told him how exceptional John is, and in general, just how impressed we were with everything. Parking was REALLY easy - the menu is extensive (we've already decided what we'll have next time we go - the Fish and Chips) - and we are REALLY excited to have found such a great restaurant. GREAT JOB EVERYONE - SEE YOU AGAIN. read more

Joe is my favorite server! I always ask to be seated in his section whenever I dine at J. Mark's with my father. He has the sweetest demeanor, a great sense of humor, and is always smiling. He takes the time to recommend his favorite menu items and somehow never lets us forget our cappuccinos and desserts! Joe consistently provides exceptional service and makes every visit feel special. He and his outstanding hospitality are the reason I keep coming back to J. Mark's every time my dad is in town. Thank you, Joe, for always making our dining experience such a pleasure! 5 Stars +++++ read more

3/05/2025- made a reservation. 5:30pm .We were a party of five we told them we were celebrating a birthday when we walked in. We got hellos and happy birthdays. That was very nice touch, our server Mia couldn't have been any nicer. We had their half size Asian salad to start two of us. One had a Caesar and one had a regular house salad. We had a vegan at the table. He was very happy to see that they had the vegetable zucchini pasta We were easy, 2 of us had the Madeira chicken , comes s w/ mashed, but asked for broccoli, it said in butter, I should have said no to butter. One order the hickory burger thought it was great and another had the bowties carbonara that's with the peas and the bacon in a heavy cream sauce They start you off with these delicious sweet warm rolls so when dinner came, we wanted more and we were told it's $.50 a roll. Guess if you really wanted it , it was worth it was good. Again thanks Mia read more

Love the food here,having been coming for about 5yrs now. I must say Cherokee has been one of the best servers to wait on me.She is very attentive and sweet. Cherokee will make sure you are happy thee entire time. I love the vibe here and Cherokee most definitely puts the cherry on the top. read more

Stopped by J. Mark's for a late lunch/early happy hour with my business partner, and I totally get why this place is a Fort Lauderdale staple. The service was super friendly and fast, and the happy hour menu (2pm-6pm) had just the right options. We each got a mini slider. He had a cheeseburger, and I went with the bunless ahi tuna. Both came with a little serving of fries, which was perfect when you want fries but don't want to have fries, if you know what I mean. My ahi tuna was so fresh, and the sauce it came with? I could have honestly sipped it straight from the plate. Everything just hit the spot. We were there in an odd time of day so it was fairly quiet and calm. Great first visit, and definitely not my last! read more

Food is as good. Not excellent but good. Service was decent. Side choices need to be updated. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was really clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great Happy Hour spot with a variety of tasty bites. I liked the French Dip Sandwich the best out of what we tried on that visit. The drinks were good, and rather strong, which sometimes can be an issue if the balance isn't quite right. Good service in the bar area. I would definitely return! read more

I've been visiting J Marks for over ten years. I really like the out door patio. Recently a few of us came for lunch. We all ordered salads. J Marks salads are always fresh. We rated our salads 10/10. I cannot think of one salad that isn't fantastic. The Ahi Tuna is always perfect. I love their kale salad which has red peppers and peanuts in a honey mustard dressing. The chopped salad is always delicious. Another hallmark of J Marks - the servers! Always great people. Often young, energetic, and attentive. 10/10. I give only 4 stars instead of the usual 5 stars because: - J Marks raised prices like crazy after COVID. The price increases were excessive. - The patio, still great, is looking old. The tables need a new coat of varnish for sure. - the portions have gotten significantly smaller. If you hike prices so much, why diminish the portion size? Seems like a double price hike to me. - menus are looking old and tattered. Some are sticky. J Marks can easily correct these items and get back to their normal 5 star spot. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]J marks was cozy and upscale in the inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My server was super friendly and gave me suggestions. They give you fresh bread and it was delicious. I decided on the ribs and the prime rib. Mid day special was awesome. The price was affordable. My favorite was the ribs and mashed potatoes. Prime rib was 7/10. I would love to try other food on the menu. read more

I have been an infrequent customer for more than 20 years, only because there are far too many restaurants in Fort Lauderdale. J Mark's is a great - happy hour a great choice for a mid week early bite when you are working, regular dining great for a celebration or guests in town. Steaks are delicious and prepared to order, service at tables AND bar amazing, [[HIGHLIGHT]]ambience calm but stimulating[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].

Have stopped here 3 times in the last couple of weeks Already looking forward to my next visit. Bolognese Pasta is fantastic and has a little "kick" but the fresh hot bread perfectly complements this entree! then, had the in-house Key Lime Pie which is as good, if not better, than any I have had in the Keys or (wait for it) at Joe's Stone Crabs! Be sure to ask for Joe. He really knows the menu and is super friendly.I'll bet he remembers your name on your next visit. read more

J Marks has Consistency with the mental, service and prices. Look for and ask about specials

I have been visiting this establishment for many years. Ive always loved their chicken sandwiches but during the last year the chicken is half the size that it used to be so I stopped ordering it because it's all bun and no chicken. Today I went there and ordered a burger and fries. I asked for extra ketchup. when the order arrived there was one small container of ketchup so I asked for another. They told me I had to use the one they gave me first or they would charge me extra for another. I put half the container on my burger and asked if I could get another for my fries. Literally within a minute or two I would need another for the rest of the fries but they wanted me to empty container before they would get me another one. A restaurant pays about $.02 to $.05 for two oz of ketchup. THAT IS A RIDICULOUS RESTAURANT POLICY TO CHARGE EXTRA FOR 2 OUNCES OF KETCHUP ON A $30 HAMBURGER AND FRIES. I see J Alexander's as my future place to go for lunch. read more

Ate here for the first time and I really enjoyed it! Our waiter John was incredible and very friendly! He was great when I asked for gluten-free options. They have a lot of specials including mid-day and happy hour. I got the mid-day half rack of ribs and they were delicious! read more
