Delicious food, especially the cheesy grits. Good service. Hostess wasn't that friendly, but she got us seated fast. I will definitely go back again.

Delicious fried chicken and waffles. That's all I've had and I would definitely return. Chicken breast was thin and crispy and served piping hot. Gravy was peppery and flavorful and the waffle was light fluffy and just right. Everything was seasoned just like I like it. We were there on a weekday mid morning and sat at our table catching up for a long time and the service was friendly and efficient and left us alone until we were ready. Don't know her name but she was sweet and took good care of us and refilled coffee whenever we were ready. Cute spot- bar seating, booths and tables. Good place for breakfast.

My partner told me about this place so I figured I would give it a try. Upon entering I was greeted by the hostess and quickly sat at the bar (by choice). The server took our order quickly and did not take long to get our food even though they were pretty busy. The restaurant is quaint and has a lot of cute decor. The food was good for a diner.

This place is so yummy! Completely recommend. Everything I've tried so far is delicious and always friendly service. A bit small but still has privacy.

Perfect Diner Brunch!!! Let me address some of the issues in a few negative reviews: 1) "Rude hostess": she's not rude, she's direct and busy AND it's a diner! Not The Mansion! The rules are written down and standard; you will not be seated until your party is there. Common restaurant standard. Stop whining... 2) Food or gravy is too peppery: It's called Chef Jon's Peppered Gravy; why are you surprised there's black pepper??? Don't like black pepper? Go someplace else and don't overcrowd this gem because we loved the food. So we strolled in Saturday afternoon and they were still hopping close to closing time. Cute decor. I love the sign at the bar that reads "Mind your own Biscuits and Life will be Gravy" We had the Danger Dogs ( pancake batter coated turkey sausage links on sticks) Imagine breakfast corn dogs. Loved them! Wish they had them at the state fair! The Biscuits and gravy were savory and served in a bowl with turkey sausage. We loved the biscuits. They were different! Flaky and moist yet very flavorful! And yes, there was a lot of black pepper, it's in the description and that's why we liked them. We also had the Migas, Peanut Butter Jelly Time Waffles and Chef Jon's chicken fried steak. I consider myself a chicken fried steak connoisseur and this was a GREAT chicken fried steak. Juicy in the middle and coated with a crispy cracker crusted crust. (Try saying that three times fast) Dallas is saturated with culinary hotspots. Hard to find someplace you're willing to repeat. This will definitely be a place we return over and over again

Just landed in Dallas to visit family for the week. In search of some delicious, simple eats before the recovery nap. Jonathan's was the first suggestion and are we lucky it was. Attentive, friendly service from the moment we stepped in the door. Ordered fried chicken and waffles, cheesy grits, chicken and biscuit, and chicken fried steak. Lol I'm sure you can tell the chicken was what we came for. But honestly that was some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. Crispy, juicy and full of flavor. Cheesy grits were on point, and the pepper gravy was really good. Highly recommend if you're looking for classic diner fare with great service.
