Reviewed this restaurant from google and knew I had to check them out. Parking is scarce however if you know how to parallel then your good. First impression of interior was very warm, welcoming, and peaceful. Staff was very nice! We will be back next time we’re in Dallas. ❤️
Edit: reply to diner:
Correct. There is regular parking which all those spaces were taken. In the back are 3 parallel spots. I was like okay let’s show my skills. Lol. There is no problem here. Great restaurant just tight parking lot.

Jonathan's Diner in Oak Cliff is an absolute gem! I had the pleasure of trying their chicken and waffles, and I must say, they were sublime. The perfect balance of crispiness and flavor left me craving more. As if that wasn't enough, I also indulged in their 'big breakfast'—a hearty spread of crispy bacon, perfectly cooked eggs, golden potatoes, and fluffy pancakes. Every bite was a delightful explosion of flavors and textures along with great service. It's evident that quality ingredients and culinary expertise are at the heart of their dishes. If you're in Oak Cliff and seeking a memorable meal, look no further than Jonathan's Diner. Highly recommended!

Visiting for the state fair, wanted something local before heading back home and stumbled upon Jonathon's Diner.
Wait was supposed to be 30 mins, we waited 10 at most. Ordered and got our food in another 10 minutes. Fastest food I've ever experienced in a busy restaurant. Every table was taken!
Service was great, checked on us enough but didn't hover (exactly what I like).
Portions were much bigger than anticipated!
Flavor was on point 🤌🏼
Pork sausage was a little too greasy, but that's the only thing "negative" I have to say.
They even cooked my egg exactly like I wanted (you'd be surprised how many places don't know how to make over medium eggs).
I got the Fried chicken & Biscuit 10/10
Highly recommend and will be back!

Great service. Super fast and friendly. Coffee mug never emptied out on me and that’s a plus! However, I ordered the Chicken Biscuit and it was overly peppered for my tasting. But I will definitely go back to try something else on the menu! Portions are huge too.

A crowded restaurant is often an indication that the food is good. While Johnathan's dishes were quality, chicken fried chicken was tender and had a nice crispy batter. There was little to no seasoning. Not flavorful at all. The waffle was soft 👎🏾
My daughter had the danger dogs. Which are pancake on a stick with turkey sausage inside. She really enjoyed...
The overall atmosphere was lively and I'd give them another shot!

Went in right after rush hour @2pm. & the staff was great from walking in the door. Service was excellent!. Nowwww let me tell you about that food 😋 Lorddd it was delicious! I didn't get a before pic " the presentation" of the food was fabulous though. Ohhh but the taste, SCRUMPTIOUS 💯. I had the Danger Dogs, Cheese grits, & 2 eggs "scramble". Everythang EVERYTHANG EVERYTHINGGG was delicious. The danger dogs are pancake mix dipped turkey links & the batter was just right. It's served w/spicy mustard. I ate it with the mustard & syrup 😋. I give the entire experience a 1000!

The food was good. Chicken fried chicken is not bad. It could've used more seasoning. Potatoes weren't cooked fresh. Maybe it was just bad timing. The restaurant temperature wasn't cool. Maybe AC issues. Someone passed out on their way to the restroom. Don't know if he passed out from the restaurant being warm or if he had other issues. I hope he feels better. It took forever for the wait staff to get a cold towel to help cool him off. We asked like 4 different times.

Came here for a breakfast early Monday morning no crowds or wait time. Service was good food was tasty 😋. Chicken and Waffles was a big portion possibly can share. I order a cappuccino as well which was great.

The chicken and waffles with gravy and syrup 😋 The chicken was well done and the gravy brought the flavor. The waffle was fluffy and sweet and the strawberry just made it pop with extra goodness.

Andy was the best server I’ve ever had. My friends come here often so when we grabbed brunch today, they knew to ask for Andy. Best customer service, all around great guy. Loved the Oreo muffins, corn dog appetizer (not pictured), fresh coffee, chicken and waffle, and the peanut butter jelly time waffle. Will be back again. Go early because there will be a wait for this delicious food.

Great food Great people and great service all at a great price. I had chicken fried steak and eggs and it was delicious. I'd definitely recommend this place to all my friends and family
JC Carranza

Stopped before hitting the road. Delicious food and service was beautiful. The waffles berry and cream were 🫶🏼 really good and fluffy
Ryan Sanford
The food was good. I had the nooner couldn't even eat it all. If you are in the area, definitely check this place out.

The business was busy as we walked in and something about who would serve which table came into place, but we were served and treated with respect and honesty.
The food was very satisfying, so hats off to the chef and it wasn't a long wait for food either. If I visit again, I would consider going back.

Best chicken and waffle! Chicken is so juicy and seasoned so well without being salty. Fried to perfection

Reynaldo Rodriguez

I have been to Dallas twice and this was the best restaurant I have been to in a while! This was better than a Seafood restaurant! I had the chicken and waffles with a side of breakfast potatoes and scramble eggs with cheese! Very delicious 😋 the chicken was tender and crispy not dry at all! Love this place and I will be back again soon!
Eric Rollins
Had a horrible experience in Fathers Day! Rude hostess! Waited for 1.5 hrs to be seated! We asked for an extra chair and they literally tossed the chair in the corner vs sitting at the table. Shared our experience with the owner and she didn’t share any compassion for the situation or our experience! Will NEVER recommend this spot to anyone!
Olivia Watts
They have two restaurants and the one we used to eat at had a long wait time so went to other one which is Jonathan’s diner. I was expecting the food to taste just as great as the original one we wanted to eat it but it was below par. I had ordered the famous chicken and waffles and the chicken had no flavor. It was very bland. Even the ranch I had ordered was bland. The only good thing about our meal were the drinks.

I love this place and have been a fan for years. It’s very small and quaint which adds to its charm but it always adds to the wait time for a table. Packed and crowded most of the time but I promise you the food and drinks are worth it if you hang in there!
