Reviews for J. Alexander's Restaurant in Nashville, TN

Our group of 6 were all extremely pleased with our meals & experience! The restaurant was packed, but every plate was well done.... Food was quite flavorful and no skimpy portions here. Staff were hustling! A must try when you’re looking for a better thanaverage chain restaurant meal. Read more

Early dinner for our anniversary (43rd) on Saturday but we were seated quickly. Tiffany our server was awesome for the whole... dinner. She knew the menu and food details well. We had the grilled artichokes appetizer. It was great. Recommended for sure. Mywife had a steak and I had prime rib, both were just right. The carrot cake we split was worth it. We were full but Tiffany wasso excited about it we had to try it. Crazy gooey goodness. Our first visit but it won't be or last. Read more

My husband and I went here tonight for our anniversary. Had a wonderful experience. Hamid was our server and he did not make us... feel rushed, was very nice and checked on us very well. This was our first time here and def will be back. Also, the chocolatecake with ice cream is to DIE FOR! I would eat it all day if I could. Food was awesome. Service was just as awesome. I woulddefinitely recommend. Read more

Steak is good, but the Mac and cheese is amazing. Good, quick service and friendly staff. This is the “Steak N fries” but I... subbed the fries for the Mac and cheese at no extra charge! Read more

This place has some GREAT food. The ambiance is nice, low lighting and good seating. Prices are a little on the higher side, but... I don't complain when I'm served good food. The meat was cooked perfectly, exactly as I ordered and it was delicious. My partyalso sampled each of the offered desserts and they were each phenomenal. Fresh and made from scratch. Worth every singlecalorie! The service was also quick and efficient and our server was delightful. I didn't give it the "perfect" score onlybecause there was nothing offered to the table like a bread basket or anything. It seemed odd and for the pricing we did expectsomething. Read more

3 of my friends and I had a reservation Saturday Evening. It was a birthday dinner. We were seated promptly by a very... professional and friendly hostess. She even gave my friend a birthday card signed by some of the staff. I thought we were all infor a fun night of good food and great service. I thought wrong. The server took our drink order, but we didn't get them forabout 15 minutes. All we had was water. Our food order was taken and when it was delivered, it was like playing musicalplates. The server and helper didn't seem to know who got what. 3 of our entrees were correct. But one ordered a salad with bluecheese dressing and a rotisserie chicken. He received a salad with a few pieces of chicken on it. No dressing. Finally, 2 of usasked for another drink which never came. We flagged down the manager and told her we did not receive our drinks and did notwant them at that point. Then the server came over later and asked if we were sure we didn't want the drinks. We just wanted toleave that bad experience. The food and drinks are a bit pricey which is fine if the service given is high quality. It wasn't.The dining room was half empty which makes sense given the service we received. Read more

My husband and I came here for our first date in two years. It was worth it! Rachel was our server and she was lovely. We... ordered the queso as an appetizer and ate it with the salsa dumped into the queso. SO good. I ordered the prime rib med rarewith mashed potatoes. It was cooked perfectly. My husband ordered a trout special with coleslaw and rice. For dessert, weordered a key lime pie and a chocolate cake slice. Did not disappoint. Beware that the portions are ginormous! We should havesplit a dessert. The price is about half of what you would spend at another similar restaurant with the same quality. Highlyrecommend. Read more
