J. Alexander's Restaurant 102 Oxmoor Court, Louisville, KY 40222

"Deviled eggs were good. Ordered the steak and frites, rare. Came out medium well. Returned, second steak came back medium. I gave up and just ate it. I wouldn’t suggest this place for steak. When I returned the first steak, the server pointed out that there was a little pink in it. That suggests a lower level of professionalism and quality than they portray on their website. They make a lot of statements about quality and refinement that did not hold up. The $48.76 would’ve been better spent at another option in the Oxmoor area."

"I love the veggie burger and key lime cheesecake I had. Wait staff was friendly. Food was served quickly. Veggie burger was really delicious."

"An American cuisine grill with a 20th century art deco lounge vibe. The atmosphere was pleasant, which, along with the prices, gave me high expectations for the food. Unfortunately, it was underwhelming. I was disappointed with the steak burger. I like to get burgers at American cuisine restaurants because, to me, it says a lot about the quality of the other food if you succeed (or flop) on your burgers - a staple American cuisine. This one was a flop. I asked for a medium (I like to test this before getting a medium rare on another visit) and I got well (no pink). The beef lacked flavor, and the dressing was underwhelming and needed to be rescued with ketchup from my fries. I expect more when I pay almost $20 for a burger at a restaurant touting its American cuisine. The server was excellent - friendly and responsive. The atmosphere was pleasant. The straw fries were a good side. The chocolate cake with a scoop of ice cream was a delicious, shareable treat at the end of our meal."

"I wish our experience was a bit better at J. Alexander's, as the food was very good. We visited Saturday evening, three hours before closing, without a reservation and was told there would be a 45-hour wait and the hostess seemed annoyed we were wanting to stay. Our table was ready after 20 minutes, and service was okay. We weren't told of the specials or even the fact that they were on a small separate menu. Our server wasn't around after food was delivered and we were left waiting a few minutes to get her attention for the steak sauce I wanted (I know, I know). Nothing about the service was exceptionally bad, I just have received far better from less reputable places. Maybe it was an off night for staff, but I will be giving other steak houses in Louisville a try before giving my patronage to J. Alexander's again."
