The Best Breakfast Restaurants in Dallas | Eater Dallas

"If a classic American breakfast is what you seek, this Oak Cliff (and a second location in Far North Dallas) diner is a great choice. Drop by for a pork chop and eggs, fried chicken and waffles, and an array of eggs Benedict and burgers (yes for breakfast). The list of breakfast-friendly cocktails is as expansive as the menu. There’s a big, circular bar with seats and plenty of tables for groups." - Courtney E. Smith

14 Beautiful Brunches to Eat in Dallas

"Head to Jonathon’s in Oak Cliff or North Dallas for an indulgent brunch option with a diner vibe. The weekend brunch menu hits a lot of notes, including typical brunch items such as waffles, egg platters, and salads. It also has a few outliers, like its brunch kabobs and Danger Dogs (a hot dog like dish made with pancakes). Good for those who are down to make brunch a little freaky." - Courtney E. Smith

Our family went on a Friday morning around 9:30 and it was pretty busy, but we had no wait. The service was quick and friendly, the portions were large, and the seating was standard. Our food came out very quickly, but everything was crispy and delicious. The waffles were perfectly crisp, the bacon was thick cut and crispy but not burnt, the fruit was fresh, and the chicken was moist and seasoned. Seems like anything would be a good choice on the menu!

Came on the weekend and it was packed. This was our first time coming and we came in excited since this location has been recommended numerous times. Hostess was not inviting or welcoming at all. My partner ordered the all in one waffle and he was extremely disappointed. It was our fault for not reading that there was something in the item my partner did not like. We ended up, leaving without even eating it, and they didn’t try to exchange it or have any consideration for us or at least acknowledge our disappointment he just showed us the menu and said there’s no modifications. Our waiter was attentive but not inviting. Just over all disappointed, will not be coming back. At least our Belgium waffles and eggs and bacon were good

Great for family brunch! I was with a party of 6 and we all loved our meals. The wait was minimal, the staff was great, and the food is well portioned. And the drinks were on par with a hotel bar quality.

No wait, greeted and seated immediately. It's always a pleasure to enjoy brunch at this gem. But we especially were thrilled with our waiter's(Ray) exceptional customer service. He was very attentive and friendly.

$5 Mimosas in this economy, YES PLEASE! This was a great find. This diner has great options on their menu and for an affordable price. This was my first time here and I’ll definitely be back!

Great Food and friendly people The service was quick and the food came out quick as well I also ordered 2 mimosas that were def heavy handed The only reason I didnt give 5 stars was my first plate came out had a hair in it but the waiter was very apologetic and made sure my meal was taken care of.

We’ve visited Jonathon’s countless times over the years, even back at the old location. The food has always been consistently good—we always order the same thing. However, during our most recent visit, I was extremely disappointed by the experience. The older woman with the short haircut at the front door was surprisingly rude and abrasive, which is not what you’d expect from someone in a hostess role. It was also frustrating to see empty tables while people were being made to wait to be seated, especially when the delay was simply due to one person still parking the car. Had we not driven so far as part of a surprise for my husband—who used to love this place—we would have gone elsewhere. Our server was friendly and helpful, but unfortunately, the first impression left by the hostess soured the entire visit. It honestly felt like she had no real investment in the business and was more of a liability than an asset. If she is affiliated with ownership, that’s even more concerning. What’s also telling is that Jonathon’s doesn’t respond to reviews with complaints. That’s a clear sign they don’t value feedback or care about improving the customer experience. It’s incredibly disheartening to spend your hard-earned money at a place and walk away feeling like your presence was a burden. Sadly, this will be our last visit. There are plenty of spots to get chicken and waffles with far better service. ✌️

My trips to Dallas would not be complete without a stop to Jonathan’s diner. Hands-down, the best chicken Chicken-N-Waffles I’ve ever had in my life! Served with cream gravy and hot syrup. They have a nice bar selection as well.
