J. Alexander’s Restaurant

Best dining experience in the Chattanooga area by a lot. The food is so good! Sat at the bar, the Alex salad was delicious and the dressings were excellent. Congratulations to the team running the restaurant!

Great dinner tonight! Carson went over and beyond and then some waiting on us! Never had a better waiter than Carson tonight in all my years of dining. Prompt service, filling glasses before asked, asking every detail to make sure everything was perfect! Unreal and exceptional service! Thank you Carson! Hope this goes to and above your manager plus corporate too! You need to be congratulated on your talents! Thanks again!

Food 5⭐️s : We’ve never been disappointed in any of the food that we’ve eaten here. Steaks melt in your mouth. The seafood is mouthwatering. The sides are all delicious. The salads are the best in town. The desserts are guilt free. However, we were super disappointed to see that they no longer have the smoked salmon dip. It’s been a while since we’ve stopped in and that was always a favorite of ours..

Service 4⭐️s: We preferred the young gentleman running the food. He seemed to be more attentive and friendly. Our waiter kept sweet tea on the table, but he was not as polite or outgoing. I don’t need a waiter/waitress to act like we’re all best friends, but we do like to feel welcomed. One girl that brought the food was overbearing and pushing our appetizer plates out from in front of us (we were not finished!). The lady who brought the remainder of the food was much more mature and well-trained.

Bathrooms 1⭐️: Wish we would have never taken a trip to the bathroom. The garbage was overflowing. There was one roll of toilet paper being shared between two of the stalls. No toilet paper on the roll holders. The soap dispenser’s top was broken off. And it smelled terrible! Had we went to the bathroom before being seated and had never eaten the food here- we would have left immediately. Knowing that the food is exceptional and enjoying the atmosphere kept us from leaving.

Hoping that next time, it’s a 5⭐️ experience. Has all of the potential to be. All of the employees need to have the same standard..

My daughter wanted her birthday dinner here and y'all did not disappoint!! I reserved the larger U-shaped table and was seated right away. The service, food & atmosphere were great; the splash of Coke with my Crown was perfect, lol!! Worth every penny!!

I totally enjoyed myself, celebrating 13 years of marriage. Food and salad was on point.

I usually have great experiences at J. Alexander’s, which is why tonight stood out in a disappointing way. I live out of state, so when I am back to Chattanooga I make sure to dine here with my family. This time service felt inattentive and rushed, extra silverware was left on the booth (my mom accidentally sat on them and laughed it off and set them on the table for her to take and she just acted confused) there were already 4 silverwares set on the table, appetizer plates weren’t cleared before entrées arrived, and food was placed on an already crowded table. The girls forced them on the table and didn’t take anything until we asked them too. There was also confusion when I asked for part of my entrée to be packed to go, she assumed I wanted these tiny scraps I had to pushed aside so it wasn’t included and told her..
Dessert was the final letdown. It’s normally served steaming hot and melting (carrot cake), but tonight it arrived barely warm and straight cold in the middle. Hoping this was just an off night, but it wasn’t up to the standard I expect here. Very disappointed.

Went in for dinner and drinks, bar staff is horrible and I expect more from one of Chattanoogas high end restaurants….do better! Also the bottle beer was room temperature.
