I was craving huevos rancheros and took to Yelp. I was directed to a little hole in the wall nearby that's been open for over 30 years. This must be a neighborhood favorite because it was packed. Expect a wait (bc of covid restrictions) but this place operates pretty quick. Order first, wait for a table to open and they will deliver food to your table. The huevos rancheros was delicious, just like my favorite spot in El Paso Texas. Def a must if your looking for a delicious, decent priced breakfast meal. Credit cards accepted for amounts over $5 read more

Great long standing diner! Breakfast was wonderful! Had my usual Pancakes and Eggs! With the eggs place on top of the pancakes! So good! Service is fun just what you would expect from an old fashion dinner Check it out! You won't be sorry! read more

Five stars for Huevos Rancheros. Licked the plate clean. All homemade including tortillas.

I got the chicken fried steak with cheese eggs, hashbrowns, coffee, and a pancake. The eggs and hash were cold, but I think they would have been good if they were hot and fresh off the grill. The steak was GOOD. But that pancake (a sub for the toast with an upcharge) was DELICIOUS!! I will definitely be back for a pancake(s) and the chicken fried steak. read more

I really like John's buffet the concept of getting your own utensils and getting your own coffee and basically a serve yourself except for food situation isn't that bad and actually the food is pretty good. I would recommend it. I would recommend it for breakfast because that's all I've had there what's the important world a little larger but I'll take it as it comes because it is good not a big variety when it comes to coffee but what the heck it's not a Starbucks it's a breakfast joint. read more

John's Cafe - MIGAS!!! - Diners Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This is a wonderful place to have an old style dinner meal in a very popular Dallas tradition that has moved around the neighborhood for quite a few years. During meal rush times, be prepared to have to wait a bit. My last trip was right in the middle of brunch and timed it right for no waiting on a table to open. I had the chicken fried steak, fries and a salad. The CFS was great and that was due to some of the best gravy in Dallas! The salad was from a salad bar with the essential salad bar ingredients. Nothing fancy, just good. I helped share a stack of pancakes and that is another of their specialties. They do offer take out and I'll have to try that sometime. read more

We had the breakfast selections, and this was the perfect food to send the Hangry away. My friend and I went there for a late morning meal, and in just the walk from the door to the counter where we'd place our order, I knew something good was headed my way. Every patron had food that looked hearty and absolutely delicious! I'm looking forward to trying lunch sometime soon!! BTW, it's a great sign when a classic-type diner is almost full to the brim!! Great good, Great prices, Friendly people!! P read more

Really good food. Family owned and operated. Service is good and organized. It gets busy on the weekends but it's worth the wait.

Fast and food was great. Salsa was homemade and really good! We'll be back again. Staff was nice too.

I love a good burger and John's burger didn't disappoint. Perfect size, a good, juicy patty, and all the fixings. The cafe is the perfect place to meet for lunch or brunch and catch up. It's definitely got the neighborhood diner feel. John was there when we went and was very nice. He's proud of his burger and I know why! read more

I have lived in Dallas all my life except for 5 1/2 years high 'atop the caprock in Lubbock. John's Cafe, in no uncertain terms, is the greatest breakfast and lunch dive in Dallas & arguably in the nation. In business since 1972 or '73 John and his family have operated this business. The best Migas, burgers, and omelette's you will have the pleasure of eating. Homemade biscuits & gravy? Yep, the best. Pancakes? Have never eaten any better than hot cakes from John's. If the good Lord Jesus decides to tell me the exact time I take my last breath, I will pre plan to have my last breakfast from John Spyropolous! http://www.johns-cafe.com/ read more

Very rude customer service, arrived and took like 5 mins to be acknowledged and then when we did get service the guy was rude so didn't even eat here. read more

Secret item on the menu. Roast Beef sandwich. Do yourself a favor GET IT! Think mom's oven cooked falling apart roast beef, but flat grilled for a minute, placed on a hoagie bun with fresh lettuce, tomato's and Mayo. One of the best sandwiches in town!!!! Didn't used to be a secret at the old location when the second largest thing on the sign beside John's was Roast Beef Sandwich. read more

I'm writing this as I eat. Hands down the best breakfast diner in Dallas. John's cafe reminds me of an old school, Mid-West, mom and pop, family ran joint serving up Christmas morning with no school for a week breakfast. The has browns? Real potatoes. The biscuits? What... delicious. The eggs? Fresh and fluffy? The bacon? Cooked how you want it. Don't be a stranger, share a seat with folks. Break bread and dine together. read more

I loved this place! I was visiting Dallas to see friends and my friends took me here. I loved the small, cozy place. They have a great variety of foods - from traditional breakfast foods to Gyros to Mexican food. I ordered breakfast. The food was phenomenal, the staff was very welcoming, and we didn't wait long for our food. Every time I visit Dallas, I want to come here! read more

The owner was working the register/taking orders when we stopped in. He's very personable and friendly. We ordered the breakfast special; one with bacon and toast and the other with sausage and biscuits. Wow. Incredible. We are for sure coming back when we're in town next. read more

Great greasy spoon American diner run by a Greek man, like most New York diners. I ordered a gyro omelette, something I had never seen before until I came into John's Cafe. And it was good - very good, I must say. This is a hole-in-wall diner that has just been lost in time. Glad to see its still running even to this day. read more

The customer service was so great here! You order at the counter and then sit down and they bring your food out. All the employees were so nice and helpful. I got the country fried steak and it was AMAZING-its my favorite food and one of the best I've ever had at any restaurant. My spouse and kids also loved their food and the portion sizes were large. 10/10 and I would go back if I ever travel back to Dallas. read more

Ready for home cooked? Ready for friendly service? Come get done at this local establishment. Best breakfast I have had in months and John taking orders left and right like a drill sergeant. Ignore the old building. Get inside and enjoy the food. read more

John's Cafe! A Dallas staple! I have been going here for years with my dad for a go to breakfast. Him being from NYC, he misses the diner atmosphere....John's never disappoints! Great food. Great Community atmosphere. And the family-owned! Half the time John the one that takes your order. I love their breakfast! They have a special two eggs two bacon toast hash browns and pancakes it's so good! And if you're really feeling frisky, go for a chicken fried steak! It's pretty serious so be prepared! Breakfast and Lunch are amazing. Club sandwich is always a favorite! We run into people we know every single time we go! It's really about the locals. But the locals are really nice! Give it a go you might have to wait a minute but it's worth the wait and it moves pretty fast. Enjoy! ​ read more

A comforting place to be treated well and enjoy diner fare. Good location and easy parking.

Excellent low key breakfast spot. I've had the gyro omelette twice now. Always excellent. Opened until 2 pm breakfast until 11 am.

Always a great experience. I come to John's every weekend and order the philly omelet with biscuits and gravy. Def worth the drive from farmers Branch. Anytime my family visits from Chicago I always bring them here for breakfast. read more

This is an old school breakfast spot without any thrills. It's standard, well cooked breakfast staples served up by a veteran staff and a family run business. It's apparent they are many daily regulars here and tables can fill up quickly on weekends but it filters through quickly. read more

Counter service, loud person behind the counter, open view to the kitchen where cooks are working their mojo. Just a basic greasy spoon and there is nothing wrong with that. Sometimes in this world of avocado toast, caramel lattes and artisan breads, you need to take a break and hit up a place that serves hash browns golden brown and crispy, over easy eggs that are so relaxed they just rest on your plate. John's is just that type of place. Old fashioned, with the yellowing menu and low food specials. 2 eggs, choice of bacon, sausage or game, hash browns and toast or biscuit. $7.75. Only 4 stars because my hash browns where greasy but not crispy enough. If you know hash browns you know what I mean. read more
