Reviews for J. Alexander's Restaurant in Columbus, OH
Food was great. Service was subpar. Waitress bright our main entree before our appetizer.. she said she forgot we ordered it so... didn't rang it up. Then it took forever to get water but she took care of the take next to us pretty well. Last time servicewas great so surprised this time around. Read more
I’ve been to J Alexander’s in Toledo probably 25 plus times and loved it each time. I’ve never had a bad mea at the other... location in Columbus either but this time the meal itself was not good at all. They undercooked literally everything, the steakwas not medium but over cooked on the outside and still raw in the middle, the onion pieces were massive chunks and not fullycooked - there was no carmalization, just chunks of raw onion, as were the peppers and there was little ice. The other locationboxed our leftovers, this one did not, we received our check shortly after our food arrived - what’s the rush? The chickensoup is usually thick and savory but this time it was runny with no noodles. All in all I was not satisfied with the experience.We weren’t as satisfied as we usually are and the money would have gone farther at BJs across the street Read more
There was a marvelous atmosphere right when you walked through the doors that the outside appearance betrayed. The service... seemed confused however, with some on par with the best restaurants I have been to while others were clearly there to get donewith the day. And it showed. Yet the food was such a surprise. I personally would not consider the prices worth the meal, but itwas a step up from a certain chain roadhouse. At the middle through the end, we were rather disappointed that our servicequality dropped off exponentially and only saw him every now and again and we had to wait for a substantial amount of time toget our check, then again took so long for him to come and grab it that we had to ask the main desk if we pay the tab to her.She had to go and grab him and even then it took him a while to bring it to us. Mind you that it was a slower night with thecrowd dying down. He even had the dessert brought out by someone else. Read more
Our hotel recommended this place.. it was very busy. Waiting list for 1 hour. So it’s better if you make a reservation in... advance. You can also sit and eat on the bar (no reservation needed just wait until you see a free spot and sit) Food and winewas as expected. Atmosphere was really nice and everyone of the service team were very friendly. Read more
The service was the best part about this place. Our server was very attentive. The food was okay. I ordered the steak roll and... it was a bit salty. The drink was pretty good though. This was my first time eating here, can't say I was impressed enough tovisit again. Read more

Just okay. We celebrated our 19 wedding anniversary there and most places acknowledge events but they did nothing. For the... price, nothing special. You can do to Texas Roadhouse and get same taste steak. Prime rib was good and huge but salty. I woulddefinitely go someplace else for special occasions. Read more
I had the strip steak w/mac & cheese, husband had the pork tenderloin with mash.. outstanding! The boom boom sauce on the pork... was at a level 2 spicy and it was delish. We had the crab salad sushi to start and it was fantastic.. the steak was cookedmedium perfectly!! We will be back! Read more
