Update: visited on my most recent trip last week. Staff was very friendly and helpful and inviting. Dined on 2 separate occasions. Once for a late lunch and then dinner. The food was absolutely delicious 😋..
We dined here last year on a trip to West Palm Beach. I forgot what I had eaten for dinner but I do recall the desert!!! Food was great, service was great and prices are really good. We thoroughly enjoyed. Here are some desert photos.

Excellent dining experience. Great staff, quality food and presentation was excellent. Our reservation was honored right on time. My friend had ribs which I would not have expected at J Alexander's and they were excellent. The snapper special was excellent as well. I am looking forward to another visit!

My husband and I treated our daughter and son in law to lunch at J Alexander for their anniversary.

We felt the relaxed cool vibe as soon as we walked in. The lighting and music was soft and low. Candles on every table added to the ambiance.

Our server, Adriana was amazing! She made expert recommendations that guided us in ordering. We appreciated her attentiveness. She gave us a free carrot cake dessert for the anniversary couple along with her best wishes. They were pleasantly surprised.

The margaritas had a nice kick, with either salt or sugar on the rim. Kudos to the bartender!

We enjoyed potato soup and salmon croquettes for starters. Both were creamy and delicious.

The baby back ribs and Cobb salad with rotisserie chicken were generous portions. We took half of the ribs home. The house made croutons were so light and airy they melted in your mouth.

Their selection of sides were not your typical, run of the mill fare. We chose the well seasoned smashed potatoes and orzo wild rice salad.

The chocolate cake and carrot cake were rich and delicious. We had enough to share and take some home.

This was the perfect spot to enjoy a celebration with two very special people. We highly recommend.

I've been a huge fan of the J. Alexander's in Fort Lauderdale for years, and I was pretty excited to check out the one in Palm Beach location. The place looks good, nice vibe but service and food were a total disaster. This spot seriously needs to get its act together with some staff training.

Our waitress brought our drinks and then just… vanished. We waited forever just to put in our food order. When we finally did, we decided to split the lunch special salad, and it was a complete mess. The lettuce tasted like it had been chilling in the fridge overnight, and the chicken was definitely not fresh. The best part? They charged us another $8 to split it, which meant we paid $29 for a super gross appetizer. I know the split charge is on the menu, but paying that much for that kind of quality is just insane.

Then came the main event, the prime rib. This was honestly one of the worst cuts of meat I've ever had. It was so full of gristle. I was paying $41 for half a steak. The little bit of edible meat that was left actually tasted decent, but it was hard to care. When I mentioned the gristle to the server, she just gave me a look and asked, “What do you want to do about it?” Like, seriously? Of course I wanted to do something about it, why else would I say anything?

And the cherry on top? When I went to the restroom, I noticed vomit in the sink. It made me wonder if maybe someone else had the lunch special salad, but their portion had been in the fridge for two days instead of just one.

All in all, it was a seriously bad experience. I'm definitely not going back for food, though the place does look nice enough to grab a drink. This location just doesn't measure up to the one in Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton or Colorado at all.

Great night! Drinks from the bar were amazing. Had a little hiccup on the drink my fiancé ordered when we sat. Deviled eggs appetizer was delicious. We ordered steak, the NY strip was little over cooked but the GM George came by to check on tables and noticed it was little over done. He had my fiancé’s steak remade with the side he ordered. Very very nice to go out of his way to check on us initially and to have our steak remade. Amazing to see management quality check tables which doesn’t happen everywhere. Everything was amazing.. We appreciate the great attention to detail from everyone. Will be back soon!!

We come here all the time. Trey our waiter is like family to us! We own a small business and treat our customers like Trey treats us. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is spot on, and the service is top notch!! When we eat at this restaurant the server, the hostess and the cooks are all top notch. We used to go to another very popular restaurant near by and we decided for the money, quality, and most of of all the friendly service that we deserve when we go out and want to enjoy a delicious steak dinner that never disappoints!!!! We always go to J Alexander’s for the best steak dinner we have ever had. Remember the hostess, Trey the server, and the best chefs in town!!! Go to this restaurant and you won’t be disappointed!!!!

Uncomfortable and Unprofessional Experience

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I felt compelled to share what happened during my visit. While dining, I briefly stepped into a quiet voice call at our table, speaking at a respectful volume. A larger male manager came over abruptly, demanded I turn it down, and then proceeded to stand next to our table, making the entire experience extremely uncomfortable and awkward.

There are ways to handle situations with tact and professionalism—this was not one of them. What could have been a pleasant night out turned into a tense and embarrassing encounter. The food may have been decent, but the atmosphere was overshadowed by this manager’s unnecessarily rude behavior.

I won’t be returning, and I hope the management team takes this feedback seriously to prevent similar experiences for future guests.
