“ Made it to the West End J Alexander's on our last trip to Nashville and the food did not disappoint. We were able to grab 2 seats at the bar and were introduced to the manager Archie. He made sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend this spot. ”
“ We were meeting family in Nashville for a half way drop off and found this place on line. We were gathering for lunch with a group of 5. I was surprised they wanted reservations for mid day. We were seated after 20 minutes and after they we had some of the best food and service we've had dining out in awhile. The server was a young lady and a perfect delight throughout our meal. We tried these two appetizers, spinach queso and their spicy shrimp and wow were they delecious. We had front door parking and very clean restrooms and our overall expertise was excellent. My wife and I split our lunch and they dividex the portions for us in the kitchen which wasn't expected but made it so easy for dining ”
“ had an outstanding dining experience at J. Alexander’s, thanks to our incredible server, Fernando. From the moment we sat down, he was warm, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about ensuring we had a great meal. Fernando had excellent menu knowledge and made great recommendations—his suggestion of the Steak Maui was spot on! He was also incredibly intuitive, refilling drinks before we even had to ask and timing our courses perfectly. Despite the restaurant being busy, he never seemed rushed and always made time to check in with us. His positive attitude and attention to detail elevated our evening, making it one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Nashville. If you’re dining at J. Alexander’s, do yourself a favor and ask for Fernando. You won’t be disappointed! ”
