| The Steak and Fries at J Alexander's (Posted on 11/13/12 at 6:03 pm)
Is delicious. And it's reasonably priced. I am going to replicate it and post the pics here. Someday soon, I hope.

Have not had anything there that was not top notch, got the crab cakes last visit, and the were the best I have ever had, I also reccomend the wild rice and orzo as a side and the smoked salmon dip as an app

No. And if I did I wouldn't order the crab cakes. A national chain with locations primarily in the middle of the country probably isn't known for fresh seafood.

Well when you do go and get the crab cakes there come back and apologize, because you are just talking out your arse right now

Yeah yeah .. I've also heard people say the best Italian food they've ever had was at Olive Garden.
First of all, crab cakes are overrated. Secondly, I guarantee you if you go sit on a dock in Maryland and order some crab cakes prepared properly and made with the crab that came off a boat that week you would change your mind.

I'd be willing to bet that most of those Maryland crab cakes are made with Louisiana blue crab. Very few crabs in Maryland are coming from Maryland.

I have never seen a dock that you could order a meal from anyway
But all in all, I say they are the best I have ever had and you are going to argue with me, but you have never had them , and base it all on the assumption that a chain restaurant can not get fresh seafood,which J Alexander's does

I love their prime rib. I just wish they still served croissants with their salads. Prime rib sammich is awesome as well.

Obryki's in Baltimore was pretty excellent - other places around the harbor were lacking.

Apparently you are quite unaware that crabs are caught all over the state of Louisiana, and then marketed that same week or even day of being caught Drive to Maurepas and learn something about your state.
