This was my first dine in experience at this top quality fabulous restaurant. I truly enjoyed the baby back ribs, crab cakes, coleslaw and deviled eggs.The entire meal was scrumptious and so delicious!I will definitely be back for more quality food in a nice atmosphere, when I visit OakBrook, IL.Parking: Lots of free parking next to the restaurant
excellent food and service. The grilled artichoke is amazing. Don't know why they don't serve "Arnold Palmers"....they never seem to have lemonade in stock. Worth several revisits.Thai Kai salad and grilled rainbow trout....what a lovely lunch combination ?Seared ahi tuna...wild rice orzo and Citron tea...a new favorite combo

J Alexander’s has been around for a while. Long enough that — it was a frequent visit back in the day. I was just driving by a few locations and said to myself. I wonder if they are still good. And after a recent visit. I don’t think I’ll be returning anytime soon.Their menu has changed over the years and has become very limited. Which, is fine. However, the food is not the same!The shrimp appetizer was pretty good. And the salad was okay. The hot chicken had a weird flavor. I do not recommend it.

This restaurant earns the full 5 stars. It was packed, but we had prompt service. Hospitality was on point. Mixed drinks were great. The food was phenomenal. I had the NY strip and lobster special. The steak was cooked perfectly. The lobster was a little on the firm side. This has me guessing that maybe they do not dispatch and cook the lobster in house, but it was still really good. She had a salad which was shockingly good considering it's "just a salad". 5/5 would recommend.Vegetarian options: A few vegetarian salads on the menu. A few apps tooParking: Lots of spots

I was utterly underwhelmed with my export be at J Alexander’s recently. First, we had to wait 15 minutes to be seated while having a reservation. Then the food came out lukewarm and our waiter failed to even offer a second round of drinks before receiving our meals. We came to celebrate our anniversary and will not be returning.

Emily could teach a masterclass on being a server and in hospitality in general. She's the most amazing, absolutely top-notch server I've had in several years. You deserve a raise and all the praise! Thank you for being a lovely human.

Excellent quality dining for a fairly reasonable price for this experience. If you enjoy seafood, check out their specials because you know they will be very fresh. Must try the starter of grilled artichoke; this set the expectations high as it was the best, fresh artichoke I have ever eaten. Not necessarily huge, just the novelty of the wood-grilled smoke flavor permeating the leaves and heart. The choke portion was pre-cleaned, so there was no picking at a mess. I would return just for that. Three of us got the seafood specials: Grilled cilantro shrimp, Grilled Sea-bass Branzino, and Swordfish with lemon butter sauce. ALL were unbelievable as we shared bites, which I encourage if you're comfortable with that. One person ordered the roasted pork chop with apricot glaze. It was juicy, beautiful, and Huge! No one was even slightly disappointed. Low carb substitution request didn't even bat an eye. No problem, I got my rice switched out for some grilled veggies that were just fabulous.Drinks were excellent as well. Their martinis arrived at table 3/4 filled with a chilled, extra pour on the side. Cuts down on transfer spillage from glass and just a classy touch.All in all, a 10 outta 10. Great place. Will go back.
