Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The food and service were both awesome! Very clean restaurant which is super important to me. Highly recommend. The French pressed coffee with dessert was phenomenal.

Soma, our server, was the best of best! Grilled artichokes the best in seven continents. French Dip the best my husband has ever had. Choose black beans and rice as a side.

When I come to Atlanta to see friends, this is one of my go to places; generally the food; the drinks and the service are excellent. This time it was a little disappointing. Although my Asian chicken salad was delicious and plentiful and my artichoke...appetizer was also very good , my mojito had very little alcohol and for $13 just wasn’t worth it, other times I have been here the service is very friendly and efficient; this time it was just so so, and our waiter kept trying to take our dishes away before we were done which was a little disconcerting.More

I ordered the Asian salad with ahi tuna. I am always hesitant to order ahi tuna because it needs to be cut right and very fresh. This was delicious, melt in your mouth fresh and the salad was also quite good. My house wine was...very good. Our server was friendly and helpful.More

The food was the most delicious, however the service was shocking spot on. Lettie is one of their best assets. She provide great service and wonderful conversation and did it with ease. We have the unforgettable Mac and cheese and cypress salad and topped it...off with the best carrot cake ever! Just great food and great service.More

I visit celebrity restaurants regularly, reviewing them - including Gordon Ramsays and this restaurant ties with Gordon Ramseys Steakhouse restaurant in my opinion!!! J. Alexander's is doing something right! Absolutely delicious. We drive 1 hour to eat at this restaurant from Conyers, GA several times...through out the year - we absolutely love it every time! The Maui Ribeye is very good, the mac & cheese is robust in flavor and my favorite dessert ever is the carrot cake!! Best cake I've ever tasted thus far!!!! Their service is solid and their food is exceptional! If you are looking for an upscale dining experience with Frank Sinatra playing in the background with the best food you ever tasted, you're in for a treat!!More

It has been at least 5 years since we have dined at J.Chrostopher’s.At 11:15 AM the restaurant was not busy. The server did not really know the menu. The egg dishes served were very under cooked. The english muffins were ordered well toasted and came...out soggy. We ordered patty sausage and we got link sausage. We were never advsied that patty sausage was a turkey sauage. The chicken sandwich was not edible. The diet cokes were very weak. They needed to change the syrup on the fountain. We did confront the manager and she did take off about $12 on a $52.00 bill The our similar type restaurants in the area that we will go to in the future.More

What happened with the J. Alexander's in Dunwoody? This restaurant is in our neighborhood and has been one of our favorites - always dependable although it has become less so in recent months. Tonight was a disaster. My husband ordered prime rib medium rare. It...was dry and so well done that he couldn't eat it. Actually, it looked like leather. I had the tuna which has always been exceptional here, and it was inedible tonight as was the broccoli that tasted like it had sat all day someplace. The prime rib was $29 and my tuna was $31. Had I been eating in the restaurant we would have sent both plates back. Has the management changed?? We will not be back.More

I’ve eaten brunch and dinner at this particular J Alexander’s over 20 times in the last several years and the service and food has always been excellent. Unfortunately my experience from this past Saturday was abysmal. The restaurant opened at 11 AM and we walked...in at 11:25 with a party of five and we were told that they were completely booked and that there was no room for us. The restaurant was basically empty. Of course, I do understand that others most likely had reservations. I would have been completely understanding about the restaurant being booked, however the hostess was incredibly rude, unprofessional and downright tacky. She sang a little song to MOCK us to let us know that “if we didn’t have a reservation, we wouldn’t be eating there“. WHAT? Considering that there are literally thousands of restaurants in the city of Atlanta, I was appalled at her behavior knowing that we could easily go elsewhere and find a table… Which we did! We turned around and left the restaurant and as we stood in the parking lot to discuss where we wanted to go next, the other hostess came running out and let us know that they actually could seat us and that they DID have space for us. She apologized profusely for the behavior of her coworker, however, we told her there was no way we were coming inside to give them our money nor would we ever be back. I also suggested to that hostess that perhaps this should be a learning experience for the hostess inside on how not to treat customers. Simply unacceptable behavior in this day and age! So disappointing!More

I placed a curbside order 2 day ago for a file mignon-medium well, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, steamed broccoli, and grilled shrimp with fresh bread. When I looked at my order they didn’t put all of the a1 sauces, and melted butter I had...requested in the bag. Then they gave me a load baked potato instead of mashed potatoes. The young lady who brought me my food went to get my mashed potatoes, and my sauces. When I got home, I realized they didn’t even put my fresh bread in my bag. When I looked at my food my steak was burnt, wasn’t medium well, and had a funny smell to it like it was spoiled. Then my broccoli wasn’t even steamed they put (super hard broccoli) in the container that wasn’t even edible. My macaroni/cheese was ok, and my mashed potatoes tasted old. Then the shrimp where old, cold, and burnt as well. I have no idea what is going on, but they have never given me bad food like this before. I go there all of the time, and I had to throw all of my food away. Smdh I couldn’t even eat it, and it smelled nasty ass hell. I don’t know if they have new cooks or just don’t care about customers food being right. BUT……… They have most definitely gone downhill and not worth ever patronizing again.More

Extremely Disappointed in the quality for the 2 entrees my wife and I had.The chicken tender platter has dried out crispy chicken that was barely Luke warm. The side of Mac & Cheese was only Luke warm. Normaly the Mac & cheese is bubbly when...served. We have always had great meals at J. Alexanders. It will be a while until we return. The grilled chicken salad was definitely not as good as we have had in the past.More
