J.alexanders Restaurant Memphis, TN

by secretcritic1 at Citysearch

aside from the the food being fairly edible, i was rather disappointed! bathrooms a mess, and while sitting at the far corner of the restaurant i notice a small rodent run across the floor. now certainly sometimes these things are out of the control of management, however, when i saw it again, that same night, but running a different direction, i decided that will now go back to Houston's on poplar ave. sure the people are friendly at J.alexanders, but little mickey, as i will refer to him, just ruined my appetite. anyways, try it for yourself, and keep an eye out, not to mention i have gone there before, only to notice that the health inspection at times was hard to find and had a varying score. but, thats my opinion and and try it for yourself. i wont go back, and tahts too bad because they did have a great burger! but i find Houston's offers a similar product that does have a higher quality burger bun. FYI the burger is not what i ordered on this particular evening. but portions are large and if you just want fast/good food, go there.

• Pros: staff awareness and friendliness
• Cons: cleanliness and could dry my hands without towels, so i used my pant leg

Our Go-To Place

by sierraskyesmom at Citysearch

So I know Im not cooking, but where do we want to go? 9/10 times we end up at J. Alexanders. The atmosphere is perfect - dark wood, dim lighting. The food is very good. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 only out of respect for places like Erling Jensens. Still, the food is yummy. The prime rib, crab cakes, fish sandwiches and even cheeseburgers are delicious! If you can catch them on a day that they have their smoked salmon dip for an appetizer, get it! The bartender makes a perfect Cosmo and the mac & cheese is so good.

Amazing Food

by tracybird411 at Citysearch

My husband and I stopped by for a Sunday lunch. He ate half of a very delicious chicken and I had an amazing Prime Rib. We spent the rest of the day (ok, the week) telling everyone we saw how much we enjoyed it. We both also had the Potato Soup which was possibly the best Potato Soup I may have ever had... The service was very good as well.
