The bottom-line is that the food is excellent here. You can't wrong with about anything on the menu. However, my tip is ..... get the carrot cake. It's devine. If you are in the central/northern suburbs of Detroit, you should stop in and visit J Alexander's Restaurant.

Good basic American fare, good service, comfortable seating. It is a good neighborhood place to go to have a bite to eat and visit with friends.

For a chain restaurant this place is tops...great variety and generous portions served in a comfortable trendy atmosphere. The salmon is my favorite but every meal we have had has been great. Reasonable prices for good quality

We often meet here for an office birthday lunch. The food is good, hearty, generous portions. Salads are fresh and filling. The ambiance is a little dark and the carpet and furniture ppear old and worn.

I'm a big fan. Its not the cheapest restaurant. The place is crowded, but I usually eat in the bar area and really enjoy it in there. The place is nice, it smells great, but its really about the food. I love their ribs, their grilled chicken, their steaks, pretty much everything I've ever had. But they do a few... More

You are greeted as you approach the building by the tempting aroma of wood-fired cooking. An outstanding staff will greet you, seat you and discreetly serve you. Daily soups and specials will tantalize the taste buds. The chicken pasta soup that is served daily in addition to the soup of the day and the "not your ordinary mac & cheese"... More

We have eaten here often and the food is always consistent and very good. The service is almost always excellent. And if you are not satisified with something, they take customer satisfaction seriously and try to make it right. It is often crowded and noisy, (you know they're doing something right) so not the place to go if you want... More
