I love J. Alexanders. This location used to be a Houston's. While I love Houston's, I like the menu variety of J. Alexanders better. If you like Mac & Cheese, you must try J. Alexander's version. So yummy! Definitely an adult version of the kid favorite. Their portions are quite large so if you are not overly hungry, you may... More

Stopped in for a quick bite and came away very happy. The best mac and cheese was the best I have tasted everywhere. Friendly efficient service. Sodas kept topped up without having to ask. Just one point of warning the desserts are huge - definetly made to share.

Went for cocktails, stayed for dinner. Their martinis are excellent, no question about that. The dirty martini I had was perfect in taste, temperature and olives, (the dirty). We shared a mushroom flat bread that was perfected baked, tasty, and topped. My shishkabob was just okay. The meat was perfectly grilled, but there weren`t enough vegetables. The onions were brutal.... More

For the people who HATE the food here I would gladly ask them to never return because this place does NOT need your business. When we first stumbled upon J. Alexander's a few years ago I assume it had recently been converted from a Houston's (I am NOT a Houston's fan - see review). I actually wanted to try this... More

If you have visited other locations, you will not be disappointed. I found the wait staff particularly knowledgeable and professional. Start with the Queso dip and dive into a beef entree. Don't miss the carrot cake dessert!

My family and I enjoyed an early dinner at J. Alexander's on New Year's day. As usual the food was great and the service was excellent. Jerrod, our server, anticipated our needs and fulfilled them before we could even ask! The grilled salmon was perfectly prepared and the barbecued ribs were tender and plentiful. This is a great place for... More

Don't get me wrong, the food is VERY good! But the service here is what is impressive. We have been several times over the last few months and every server we've gotten has been friendly and attentive. The coolest thing is that every server is walking by your table and checking to see if you need a refill or if... More

I've eaten here many times but never gave any feedback. You will not be disappointed. Love the open kitchen atmosphere. This location is a former Houston's restaurant. Love the chicken fingers and macncheese. Large portion of food.

My family and I had a very tasty, well prepare and well presented dinner at J. Alexander's Atlanta-Dunwoody on Oct. 31st, 2012. The grilled salmon atop Alex's Salad was delicious, the rather new addition to the menu - taco platter- was just as flavorful. The grands enjoyed Mac 'n Cheese/steamed broccoli. Robert (who took our order) is personality plus and... More

The server this evening spent most time talking to people at the end of the bar and only pored the drink order after I had ordered from the other server. I was charged for premium wine but ordered house. I asked for a check after dinner and she pointed to a glass and said its in there. This server always... More
