Overpriced & Limited

by ccnmo

We dined on a Wed late evening, restaurant was half full at the time with a party of at least 6 adults & 4 kids that took up any free standing tables. Of course we got stuck w/a booth (hate that) which comprises most of the restaurants seating. Make that a dark 'n dank booth. Due to the limited offerings under $15 my date ended up drinking her dinner. I ordered the fresh cut fish sandwich for an overpriced $15, wait, it did come w/fries although its the shoestring variety that reminds me of the "pik nik" pop open cans from way back. The server informed me of the fish selection, it would be salmon or flounder. Well who wants a salmon sandwich? When my flounder sandwich arrived open faced it was about a 4oz piece on a 6oz bun, very small, barely fried & not fresh tasting. The server did offer to replace it w/something else but we just wanted out of this disappointing restaurant. Never again!

• Pros: open late
• Cons: quality of food

EWW

by buffbabes

We just tried j alexanders for the first time tonight- because a few friends had reccomended it and we will not be returning! My hubby ordered the maui steak a marinated steak and asked for medium and it was WELL-actually way well done..i got the rotisserie cobb salad and the avacado was black in spots, the chicken tasted old, the salad was a little wilted, it was just disgusting. Totally over priced for the quality of the food. Portions are large but i prefer quality over quantity!!

• Pros: Lovely decor
• Cons: food!!!!

Must Try Croissants! Hearty Meal!

by orangeclover

I am a frequent diner of J. Alexanders, and their Croissants are just to die for! Just ask for a basket(3pcs) if you didn't see it on menu. I do agree of previous review of it might not be the best place to bring infants or young child to, however i did sat w/some well behave toddlers during a sunny afternoon in their patio. guess it just denpends on how good your child behave.

Given it's atomsphere and hearty portion of food, the price is pretty reasonable. Although i did got an uncooked salmon once, the manager certainly took good care of it...unlike other famous chain store...read my other reiviews if you r interest.

Over all I do encourage you to pay them a visit when you have a chance to hang around The Quarry.

• Pros: To Die for Croissants!
