Jonathon’s Forestwood - Cfs handmade - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

A full Service mixed drink bar is part of Jonathan's. Had lunch/brunch in the middle of the day on a Saturday sitting next to two patrons with the young male patron having had two mixed drinks and a bottle of beer finished his meal and left driving off in his vehicle. Very concerned with Jonathan's lack of oversight and over serving patrons to get in a car and potentially have an accident due to their impairment. A quick research as the condition came up as follows: a person who has consumed a bottle of beer plus two mixed drinks with a meal could have significant alcohol impairment, and driving immediately afterward would be a legitimate concern. read more

The customer service was great, food was really good. I Wish the restaurant was a little bigger as we were getting bumped constantly because seating is tight! Overall a good experience and I'll certainly be back. read more

This has become our go-to place for breakfast/brunch/lunch! Close to home, delicious food ( the sopapilla waffle I had today was DELICIOUS), our server Luisa was charming, prices are reasonable....no reason not to go here...will be back soon! read more

I've been to the Oak Cliff location so wanted to try this one. This location did not disappoint as well and are just as good. If anything I will say that I prefer this location because it was easier it get a seated without a wait (we got there at noon on a Sunday and were sat right away). The food was amazing and definitely recommend the chicken and waffle. The Southern Benedict was great as well. Service was on point and our server always checked in with us throughout the visit. Overall, they are a great choice for brunch or any meal. Check them out! read more

Met up with an old friend. The coffee kept coming and brewed just right. Friendly and attentive service. The food exceeded expectations for this small corner lot diner. We ordered chicken and waffles. The chicken was great, the waffles average. The other dish was chicken and biscuits. It was really good too. read more

3.5/5 -- I didn't do my due diligence while in Dallas to decide where to dine, so my food itinerary fell a bit flat following the State Fair. Whew! That's some alliteration for you! lol But, a friend recommended we dine here... it was no frills, the service was attentive and had a lengthy enough menu. At the time, I wasn't wowed by any of the menu items, but was approaching the hangry zone, so figured I'd give it a try. My Fowl Burger was super fresh with soft, wheat grain bread topped with a thick chicken patty and a lot off fresh fixins! Generously, it came with a side--i opted for the Spicy Braised Greens and BOY! did they have a kick to them! Thankfully, I had some water nearby! If you like heat, then these greens are definitely for you; I do think they could've been more balanced with the vinegar. The Irish Coffee had a bit too much Bailey's and not enough Jameson, but for a Dallas day with torrential rain, it passed the vibe check. read more

We had a large family gathering here and the service and food were excellent. The chicken and waffles were a favorite as well as the huevos dishes. When I am in the area again, I would come back! read more

I'd visited Jonathan's Oak Cliff location before they moved to Forestwood and I was excited to see them finally open. I stopped in on a Friday afternoon with a co-worker for lunch and it was not very busy so we were able to be seated immediately. I ordered the Torched Cherry Limeade cocktail and it wasn't bad but I felt like it really lacked flavor. It didn't have much of a cherry or limeade punch to it, it's made with lemon lime soda, lime and Bacardi Dragonberry but it just seemed a little watered down with none of the flavors really shining through so this isn't a drink that I would recommend or order again. To eat I ordered the All In One Waffle which has bacon baked right into the waffle and is topped with scrambled eggs, caramelized onions, green chilies and pork sausage and then smothered in their signature pepper gravy and hot sauce. This dish was really good but left me wanting just a little bit more crunch and texture, next time I get it I will probably order a side of bacon and crumble it on top just for some added crunch but overall it was really good and I highly recommend it. My friend ordered the chicken and biscuit and it came with a huge piece of fried chicken breast on top of the biscuit, it looked absolutely amazing and that's what I will definitely order on the next go-round! The service was excellent and the food came out hot and fresh since everything is made to order and I'm over the moon to come back again. read more

Shhhhhh. Jonathon's is a secret! Well not really. The locals know it well for amazing, scratch cooking and what seems to be a new style muffin every day. How do they do it? Wildly friendly staff complement the eclectic menu of stand breakfasts/brunch fare with Jonathon's southern twist. His brown gravy is off the hook. I had it over the Chicken n Biscuit. That's a lot of food. For a lighter apatite go with the chicken and gravy off the side menu. Sure there are mimosas and beer but on the weekend there's a Bloody Mary bar!!! Are you a DIYer? Well here's your chance to be a mixologist with house made Mary Mix and all the fixns. This not so greasy spoon diner is a true find but you can only enjoy it for breakfast and lunch. Act now before the muffins run out. read more

Took my wife for lunch here after reading good reviews Unfortunately, I was disappointed Food was average, though portions were large . Service was average as well, particularly when I noticed our server was watching the basketball game on TV more than paying attention to us. Ambience was nice. We had to make our own bloody Mary's, which is OK. It wasn't particularly crowded for a Sunday so all in all I gave it a three rating Not bad, but not particularly outstandingly good read more

Have been a few times and really like this place! Took my pal Thursday and she enjoyed it so much she took her husband for breakfast couple days later! She and I split the chicken salad sandwich and the sweet potato fries. Delicious and a lot of food! She got the broccoli and cheese soup. She loved it. We had the Malibu mimosa and was yummy! Then we split a Reba cocktail and want another one! Our server was Reba and she was the best! So attentive and personable......want to sit in her section every time! Will definitely go back soon! Cute decor too! All the different dishes looked amazing and were huge portions! Thanks Reba for making even better! read more

Visited this weekend for the first time. Had Sunday brunch. We had been to Kel's, the previous business in that location, many times. Jonathan's definitely steps up the game though. The place is nice inside, freshly remodeled. The service was attentive and helpful. Our group of 6 had chicken and waffles, a couple salads, a chicken salad sandwich, chilaquiles, breakfast tacos, and enchilada soup. All was quite good and portions were large. I especially enjoyed the chilaquiles! read more

My husband had been to the original location and raved about how great it was - but not the area. We were highly anticipating the opening of this location. While it was not bad, it was priceyyyy. We spent over $50 on breakfast. Everything was good, but I don't normally spend so much on this type of meal for two. We did get the Danger Dogs to start- they were pretty good. I had the sopapilla waffle with a side of bacon- it was a lot so some came home with us. My husband got the chicken and waffles. I also had an orange juice which was fresh squeezed. Overall, our server was good, food was decent- and we beat the rush in the morning (luckily). Additionally, there is plenty of parking. If you are in the area its not bad food, worth checking out. read more

The host is awful and so rude! I have gone a couple times and him and the staff are horrible and not nice

Welcome to the neighborhood Jonathon's! I came here for breakfast and they have done a great job capturing the essence and ambiance of the Oak Cliff store. That's a positive for me since that is part of their charm! The service is always great at Jonathon's! I have always had friendly servers and the food arrives in a timely manner regardless of how busy they are, so that is a good thing! My biggest disappointment in this visit was the highly touted chicken fried steak. It was just ok... read more

Having had the pleasure of dining at their other location on Beckley, Jonathon's Diner, I kinda of knew how this experience would pan out, and I was not disappointed. The wait on a Sunday at around 11 AM wasn't too bad, about 20 minutes. We started out with the Brunch Kabobs, which is smoked sausage, ham, and bacon with a coffee glaze, super yummy!! I ordered the Migas, and my dining partner ordered the Breakfast. Both were super delicious and were devoured rather quickly. That happens when you're hangry!! Definitely check this place out. It's tucked away behind the Forest Car Wash & Detail. read more

Chicken fired steak as big as the plate - that's what I read in a review and that's exactly what I got! It did not disappoint. A couple of over easy eggs and some of their brunch potatoes finished out my plate. Highly recommend this for the CFS fans. My wife had the Nooner - a brunch burger - it was delish. John was our server and did a great job, restaurant was busy but my coffee cup was constantly topped off. I'd say for a busy restaurant the noise level is what could be expected. Great spot for breakfast or brunch! read more

Walked into a warm welcome. Great mom and pops style place with a great down home breakfast. Started with a vanilla latte, that came perfectly sweetened, no extra. I ordered the country Benedict sub the English muffin for a biscuit. The gravy was on point as usual. Overall extremely pleased. I came pretty early so there was not wait. read more

Welcome to the neighborhood, Jonathon's! We are VERY happy to have this location on our side of town- just like the original, the food is fresh, home made and tasty. Highlights are country Benedict, lovely basic Belgian waffle, sides/add ons like the brunch potatoes and braised greens. Don't be put off by the crowd on weekend mornings, they churn the tables quickly and it's always worth the wait! read more

Food was super bland! Chicken Fried Steak completely unseasoned and they don't even serve the club during Brunch so we settled on a very sad waffle. Staff was friendly but took forever to be sat and even longer to get our food. read more

I was greeted at the door by AJ who ended up being my waiter. It was my first time in. I ordered a basic breakfast. As one of the sides, I ordered cheese grits. I took a chance cause I've never had good grits since I moved to Texas. The food was excellent. The grits were the best I've had in a long time. The ambiance was homey and the music not too loud. This was the best breakfast I've ordered in a long time. Highly recommmened by me read more

This is by far the crispiest looking chicken fried steak I have ever seen. It was massive and literally the size of the plate. They really nailed this dish and I would 10/10 recommend. Definitely a smaller establishment but the vibes were there. Very prompt service. Will be coming back for sureeeeee read more

I met some friends here for lunch during the week and I didn't even know this place existed and their menu isn't large, which tells me that they perfect what's on the menu and it is a wonderful breakfast joint even though they serve other items for lunch and dinner it was just a great place to have a great meal. The atmosphere gives off a really cool vibe that makes you feel that you're in a more expensive place than it really is and the service is fantastic because the waiters are very happy and recommend wonderful choices. read more

Chicken salad sandwich.. rocks!! Service is friendly but slow Ambience is nice but not fancy read more

Service was awesome and the waffle and biscuit were great, but the migas had really soggy chips and the use of sweet sausage in the migas made it taste like a different dish. read more

Absolutely wonderful food at this location, I just wish they had better service hours. Closes in the afternoon. Nice atmosphere. I wasn't expecting it to be as nice inside as it was. read more

Huuuuuuge fan of the old place, so I could not wait to try the new location- especially since it was much closer. Food still excellent (though wicked peppery) no issues there. They are still ironing out the kinks, it took a full hour to get food, even with the restaurant not quite full and it was served cold. Ended up with the same wait person both times- she is atrocious (sorry!) Very forgetful- asked for items multiple times and still didn't get them.... put us off ordering certain items because she 'had to make them herself' and was clearly put out..... and both times forgot the drink order completely. We will still come back and hope in time that things get worked out- did I tell you I love this place? read more

This was my first visit to Jonathan's on Forest Lane, but it will not be my last. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was relaxed, yet the wait staff was attentive. We were a party of 3 and there was a 20-minute wait. We had somewhere to be after brunch, so we opted to eat at the bar. AJ the bartender took great care of us. Between the three of us we had scrambled eggs, poached eggs, and over hard eggs, all cooked to perfection. The crispy bacon was crispy (as ordered) and the cheese grits are addictive. Mimosas are $5! The renovation from the days of Kel's is impressive! No resemblance to the old Kel's. I hope they add some Gluten Free bread and pancake/waffle options. I will still return regardless. The wine selection is impressive too! read more
