Steakhouse Chain J. Alexander’s Plots A Houston Comeback | Eater Houston

"After closing its previous Houston outpost in 2017, the chain is returning this fall with an 8,000-square-foot restaurant at 1180 Uptown Park Boulevard that will seat about 200 diners; it will be only the group's second Texas location among roughly 46 restaurants in 16 states. Expect moody, upscale interiors with dim lighting, a dark color palette, natural stone, wood paneling, exposed wood beams and sculptural light fixtures. The menu will mirror other locations, featuring multiple steak cuts alongside fish, crispy and rotisserie chicken, baby back ribs and the San Antonio outpost’s rattlesnake pasta, plus salads, burgers, sandwiches, taco platters, crab cakes and sides such as Israeli couscous, orzo & wild rice as well as fries, potatoes, mac and cheese and vegetables. The operator has not yet finalized a local name or an official opening date." - Alaena Hostetter
