    Chicken fried chicken, eggs over easy and potatoes underneath!
    Greg M.

    Great place! Large portions and relaxing atmosphere. The chicken fried chicken and eggs over easy, delish!

    The Breakfast Classic
    Juana E.

    Brunch Goals Achieved at Jonathon's Diner! From the classic to the creative, every bite delivered. The Breakfast Classic : two eggs, crispy bacon, golden waffle & toast is pure diner comfort done right. But the real star? The All-In-One Waffle: a fluffy Belgian waffle with bacon baked inside, topped with scrambled eggs, sausage, caramelized onions, green chiles, and cheddar cheese cream gravy, all drizzled with hot sauce. Sweet, savory, and chef's kiss perfection! Elite Tip: Come hungry, sit back, and let Jonathon's remind you why breakfast is the best part of the day. #YelpEliteEats #BrunchGoals #JonathonsDiner

    Chicken salad sandwich with Swiss and cheese eggs

    Chicken salad was good. Service was fast. Waiter was a little annoyed I wanted to change my cheese to Swiss and I saw her making fun of me but other than that overall the food was good.

    I haven't been to Jonathon's in years since they have moved locations but the food tastes just as good. Big servings for a reasonable price. Also service was moving well for it to be so crowded. If you like the diner feel then you will appreciate the feel of the restaurant.

    My daughter and I decided to brunch here today. I haven't been to Jonathan's since they moved locations. It's more spacious than the last place. It's really nice and simple. Service was good and everyone was helpful. The food and menu was the same which is a good thing. I was really glad they didn't make drastic changes to the food/menu like most places do when they get bigger establishments. The food is obviously a little pricey but the portions they give you have VERY decent. Worth the money. My only complaints are the Steal Oats had no flavor. They were cooked right and had good looking toppings but bland, and the Latte with salted caramel was too sweet and left a weird aftertaste. I would probably never get their coffee again. My daughter said the gravy was also very bland and seemed to be missing something. Other than that the food was good. We did order a Chicken Fried Steak and eggs with a side of pancakes to go for my son. The steak is huge! It was the size of the container. So overall the food is good but certain things could be better. We'll be back.

    Cute little diner! When out of town I like trying small locally owned businesses. This one was near our hotel and had good reviews and I'm glad we stopped by. Standard breakfast of eggs, bacon, and toast. LOTS of bacon on my plate! The waffle was good. The Caesar salad was fresh and tasted like homemade dressing. Great service too!

    Was told it was a good spot to check out on Sundays and it did not disappoint! $5 Mimosas and had a nice variety of options on the menu. I got the breakfast tacos and swapped my chopped potatoes for fries instead. Great flavor on the fries as well. 0 complaints. Excellent service even on a busy Sunday afternoon. Would recommend.

    Let me tell you now. This is the best breakfast spot in Dallas! I came here randomly after yoga and when I say everything I ate was a 10/10. It was a 10 out of 10. Our service for a Saturday morning was really good & our food came out fast. I ordered the Breakfast with brunch potatoes , scrambled eggs with cheese and their pancakes! Everything tastes soooo homemade like your mama made it! I got full so quick and they give you a lot of food. Jonathon's definitely will be seeing me again. It's a diner still so it's not loud or anything. Also they close at 2:30 so come before that!

I had my hand up for several minutes bc i had no idea how to get my servers attention for a box, my check and my water. The food here is overpriced and the service is terrible. The patio was freezing and loud. 10/10 do not recommend.

Our server was very friendly and attentive! Drink: Spicy Hibiscus Margarita - Fruity and spicy all in one refreshing cocktail. 10/10! App: Butternut Squash Focaccia - So delicious! The focaccia was light and fluffy. The bits of balsamic soaked into the bread added just the right amount of tanginess. Mains: Kimchi Scallion Pancakes and Korean Glass Noodles - Both were packed with flavor and spice! I loved the chewiness of the pancakes and the savory kimchi. The noodles had a great bite and were perfectly coated in an umami sauce. Overall, everything was fantastic! Can't wait to come back, as they change their menu based on the seasons!

This Michelin recommended restaraunt is no joke however, as it's home to a great selection of seasonal offerings, to delight any palette. My friend and I split the dishes we ordered between us and I highly recommend doing so as the portions can be large, depending on the item. We selected the Butternut Squash Foccacia (with an herb olive oil). This bread is pretty heavenly as it's soft but slightly flaky, paired with the olive oil it melts in the mouth. Secondly, we ordered the Kimchi Pancakes (scallion, daikon radish and sprouts) and the Spicy Korean Glass Noodles (with mushrooms, bok choy, scallions, soy-ginger sauce, peppers, and a sambal). Overall I'd say the last dish wasn't my favorite because the sauce was a bit on the runnier side for my liking, but I enjoyed the kimchi pancakes, especially the dip that comes with it. For drinks, we both ordered the same cocktail; Spicy Hibiscus Margarita (Don Fulano Blanco Tequila, hibiscus concentrate, lime, agave, and jalapeño) and I really enjoyed it even though it was a whopping $19 each. I was glad to visit a place that earns its spot alongside very select and highly favorable establishments and I would definitely recommend it to others.

Intimate conversation isn't possible due to the decor failing to absorb sound - very industrial. If you like fine dining, unique flavors, and good service, then don't dine at Stock & Barrel. I sure won't. This restaurant has more in common with Michelin Tires than Michelin Stars. My very first bite of "crispy" polenta was so hot it burned my mouth (and was obviously reheated in a microwave) and had zero flavor. It took about 20-30 minutes to get a drink. I ordered the batch valentines cocktail listed at the top of the menu. My server forgot to bring it with the other drink, so that took another 10 minutes. Before I discuss my food issues, I want to let everyone know that the Spicy Tuna Tartare Tostada was actually very good. I enjoyed it. I was so hungry - the prix fixe menu was very small for $115 per person. I was never offered the wine pairing, which I would have done going into the experience. I'm glad that I didn't because wine couldn't save the food. After the first bite I hate to report that the rest of the food was also bland, burnt, and disgusting. My crispy duck confit was SCORCHED. The duck was dry. The kumquat sauce was the only flavor on the main course. The quinoa risotto was dry and flavorless. Very disappointing and underwhelming. Next, I was praying this bread pudding situation was going to leave my experience on a good note. Nope. They sliced a French bread baguette, burnt it, scooped melted ice cream on top and random unmelted chocolate chips. That's embarrassing. Not only is this not bread pudding...it's not fine dining. It was gross. Zero out of 5 stars. Do not eat here!

Often times after it's all said & done, you wonder - was that worth it? Thankfully, that is NOT the experience I had at Haywire! I ate here on August 9th, 2025 and enjoyed everything about it. I was with a large party but would love to return for a more intimate experience. On this Saturday, my younger cousin was graduating from Parker University so I was in town for the weekend. At around 1pm, I was one of the first to arrive at the restaurant. Unfortunately the parking is a bit confusing. There was construction being done on the same street when I went but there's a parking garage for customers that's difficult to navigate AND the elevator that connects wasn't operating at the time which was an issue for many (but not me, I got a good spot & walked). My party hadn't all arrived yet so I took a gander. Upon entering the tall doors, the space breathes southwestern elegance: wooden structure, leather seating, separate dining areas with highlighted ranch-style art. The abundance of space gives it an open-concept feel. The lighting fixtures are modern, the space was dim but not too low, with an option to utilize the large windows also. I was quiet impressed at the overall presentation. When my party did arrive, I wanted to keep it simple so I ordered the Chicken Cobb Salad and a Hibiscus Haze with Vodka. The table shmoozed as we ate some of the appetizers: the Crab Dip & Green Tomatoes, both amazing. The food did take some time but, considering it was 10-12 of us, that's expected. The Hibiscus Haze was splendid: smooth & flavorful, a great concoction. Cobb salads are usually pretty thick but this one was HEARTY. It came in a large bowl stuffed with the all the toppings. The dressing it was tossed with was well balanced but could've used a tad bit more. With some pepper & a little ranch, I was set! I defeated the salad but it also left me stuffed to the gills. Satisfying meal that I would order again! There are tons of restaurants to dine at in Dallas & sometimes you never know which is worth your time. Despite the inconvenience of parking, I'd bet my bottom dollar that this is a good place to eat. Whether you want a fine dining experience, it's a special occasion or just want a good drink with a meal, Haywire has enough to satisfy all interests.

Knowledgeable about the menu & great recommendations. Kev was a joy to have as our server. The food is amazing & love the ambiance of the restaurant. My only complaint...we came in early Saturday prior to Stars game. The restaurant wasn't busy at all. We were asked if we had a reservation. We did not, the restaurant wasn't busy at all. We were asked to wait. Waited maybe 5-10mins. No biggie, A lot of open tables were available for immediate sit down. Again that wasn't a big deal. I had asked for a booth & wanted to sit in front room. The hostess said no a problem. She handed us off to a younger hostess and she took us to a table. I told her I had requested a booth. In the front room only 3 tables were occupied. I pointed out the booth and she said that's for party of 6. However, we could have the 1/2 table/booth. Made absolutely no sense because that was for a party of 6 as well. I made this comment & she just stared at me without saying a word. I didn't want to seem difficult and took the table as she just walked away. Kev was confused as we were. No good communication skills. It was an awkward encounter. The restaurant wasn't busy at all & never was whole time there. Kev wasn't sure why she didn't move us a requested & was puzzled himself. However i apologized to him & explained I wasn't trying to be difficult, but prefer booth sitting and most times we will wait for one. We left at 1:45p and restaurant was no busier than when we arrived. Reservation/Booth or not! I guess saying all of this, your front staff need to have more people skills when dealing with your customers. They are the face and first point of contact. Again Kev was amazing & food was outstanding!
