I just tried to do a business luncheon for 12 people. This restaurant would not accommodate 12 people at one table and would not let us make a reservation. Even though I love this restaurant I would not be back.

I love J. Alexanders in my hometown. But, my hometown location discountined my fav dish. So, while on a business trip decided to check this one out and sat at the bar. Great service, plus they had my fav dish!

While this restaurant is a little pricey, the portion sizes made up for it! I ordered pork tenderloin and they brought out a whole tenderloin. Plenty of food to take home for another meal or two.

Had dinner here with a few work colleagues, and we all had very good dinners. They have a reasonable wine list too. Try the Maui steak, it's marinated for a couple of days, and has a real nice flavor to it, but different than the standard grilled steak. The crab cakes were also very good.

We were a party of three here for dinner. We had prime rib, a filet, and a NY strip steak. All were prepared as ordered and delicious. Two had loaded baked potatoes, one had mashed. The mashed potatoes were the best and enough for three. They were well seasoned. We took home a piece of carrot cake for later and... More

First, this place is in Overland Park. Shawnee Mission is a zip code designation. The food is always very good and the service is excellent. The menu has something for everyone. The wine is surprising broad and well chosen. Perfect place for a date night or just a meal out with friends.

This is my favorite restaurant in Kansas City. I think they make the best steaks in town, as well as the best Martinis. I have been here dozens of times with groups ranging from 2 to 8 and I have never had a bad service experience. I'm not sure I can say that about any other restaurant. J. Alexander's is... More

I was visiting the area on business and asked my client for a recommendation for restaurants. He recommended this one as a very classy place with great food. The food was amazing, I had the Mr. Jack's Crispy Chicken (chicken fingers) which were among the best I have ever had in my life. My colleague who was eating with me... More
