Service was friendly, however for two simple dishes it did take quite a while. It was sort of busy for a Friday morning so it was to be expect I presume. It's old school diner vibes classic dallas ambience! read more

I haven't been to this place since it moved. There was a line to wait but we opted to sit at the bar. The nice old gentleman took our order but it took a significant amount of time to get our food. Almost an hour. I think maybe they should work on that. Other than that the food was great. Service good! People were nice! read more

I am 4 months pregnant and I came to enjoy the chicken and waffles. I called the order in to go and when I arrived I decided to taste the food. The owner Johnathon decided to come up to me and tell me that I was rude for sitting at the bar and eating my food out of a to go box. I asked him for some more syrup to go so that I could leave. He proceeded to tell me to get out of his restaurant and then attempted to take my food away from me that I had already paid for. The nerve of this grown ass man! I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. I was a paying customer and did not deserve to be treated that way. He then slammed an unopened bottle of syrup down in front of me and told me to get out. I literally had to pour my own serving of syrup to go. Horrible customer service!!!! read more

Very disappointed. The bacon was barely cooked (almost raw) White gravy was smothered in pepper. The fries were a soggy mess. This is not the Jonathan's I remember. Won't ever have to come back here. Ever! read more

The best brunch place in Dallas tx!!! The fresh orange juice is bomb the food everything on the menu is bomb mimosas BOMB!

Waited 52 minutes for our food. Waiter avoided us most of the time because the food took so long. Pork chop was small and dry. Ordered a Cesar salad they brought me a regular side salad. And of course my waiter is avoiding us yet again and we can't get the hell out of here. read more

I left because of the lack of service. Sat outside and was attacked by bugs before someone even acknowledged me. Was given water and no scannable menu. They took a while to even find the card to give me a menu, but I then wanted to sit inside. My waiter walked inside in front of me but didn't pick up my water or anything so he basically left me. Got inside and they say "sit wherever you like" but no tables are clean from the previous guests. I wait for a couple of minutes and just walk out since no one comes to see why I'm standing at a table or to even clean it. Wish I could give zero stars.... read more

Today was the second time that I dined at this establishment and they seemed to have taken a turn for the worse: Pros: none Cons Too expensive Not enough choices to choose from The menu change and the once thing that I was looking forward to is only available on the weekend. Order a burger and they will not put the condiments on the burger and you have to take the burger apart and put the condiments on the burger which was very sloppy and the pickles for the are these big 3/4in wedges which will not fit on the burger. In conclusion, I will not be going back until I know that they have made some changes read more

Great Service and super delicious food! Our waitress was da BOMB!!! We are coming back with an appetite for sure!!!...minutes later...my husband says this place is definitely his new go to "Burger Spot"!!! Made with love and Worth the wait!!! read more

Came here on Sunday with two other people for brunch. We originally wanted to go to Jonathon's oak cliff but it was packed and we were told this is the same menu. We were seated right away. I got the fried chicken and waffles and my friends got the chicken biscuit. I wish the chicken was more flavorful... after reading reviews of how Jonathon's fried chicken is the best I was disappointed. Also I'm sure getting the gravy would've made a big difference too but I don't eat pork so I didn't get that. The quantity was large though, I could only finish half. My friends really liked the chicken and biscuit! Also we didn't try it this time but they have a Bloody Mary bar which seems cool! read more

I gave it a four star because of our waiter randy i think his name was. The place was really nice and clean. The food was AMAZING, but Randy our waiter was not that Amazing I wanted to tell him to SMILE a little more he had a nice smile but was so serious and not very talkative he was like in a hurry and I don't understand why because we were the only ones in . So yea if you ever read this Randy smile a little more and talk a little be more to your customers. Other than that the food was amazing My favorite was the waffle with bacon inside and scramble egg on top with gravy sausage and all that good stuff that plate was 15.00 but it was worth it. read more

Around the corner from the Foundry, KPEH is easy to find and has a spacious parking lot surrounding the building. The interior is semi-dimly lit, with low tables and a half dividing wall along the length of the dining room. The service was professional and friendly, and the food was all fantastic. After reading the mixed reviews I was skeptical as to what team I'd be on at the end of my meal here, but there's no doubt in my mind this place is great. The perogis - fantastic. The cauliflower - also fantastic, but it is deep fried so is a little heavy if you eat most of it by yourself (which is difficult to not do). The pimento cheese dip - totally meh for me. Didn't taste like pimento cheese at all. Had a sort of cold shredded cheese consistency under the creamy bits that struck me as very weird. One thing that I loved about KPEH is that they let us sub out fries for any of the other sides, so our turkey pastrami and tuna salad sandwiches were able to be accompanied by beets. Unfortunately, the beets didn't wow me, but I was glad they weren't french fries! Next time I'll get the creamed kale or potato cakes. Overall, I had a great time and felt like the prices were good for the service, quality, and ambiance of the place. They do have some entrees that are in the high $20s, which we didn't try (but looked fantastic from the photos - I'm looking at you halibut), but maybe next time we can exhibit some restraint and not order so many appetizers. read more

It was good. Felt kinda hipstery, but that's probably what they're going for, so that's all good. The food was tasty and plentiful. I had the turkey Reuben. It was great. Not too wet and mushy like many other places serve it. They had lots of interesting drinks on the menu. Happy hour pricing was great. read more

We made a special trip to this spot because of pepperoni rolls. While I did not try the pepperoni roll I did eat the pierogi's. They were wonderful. I ordered the black pepper Parmesan noodles. They were just okay to me. I need much more flavor to make the dish a thumbs up for me. My guy had the turkey sandwich and it was really good. The other couple had the BLT and a pasta dish. While they were good it wasn't something that would make me run back and trying again and again. However, our server was attentive and very funny. It was a cool place to try out but I am not sure if I will come back anytime soon because of the plethora of yummy restaurants in Dallas. read more

Kessler Park Eating House owner Jon Erdeljac (of nearby Jonathon's fame) is a Yelper, so there's a good chance that he'll read this, and I'll take advantage of that fact to speak to him e-directly: Jon - you have an absolutely marvelous and loving staff here at Kessler Park Eating House, and I appreciate the diversity of your menu and the value that your affordable prices bring. Bolster the exterior atmosphere and bit and pay just a tad more bit of attention to how the dishes are executed and you could have a real gem on your hands. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? What contrast. Upon first pass, one might not even realize that Kessler Park Eating House is a restaurant, let alone a functioning one. You're not in a particularly nice part of town even amongst the rapid gentrification that is Oak Cliff, and the outside of the building is nothing shy of bleak. I'm not sure what this building was used for prior to being a restaurant, but the black roof ain't working. I can appreciate the desire to stick with the old fashioned diner model, but Jon has proven with Jonathon's that he has a knack for the aesthetics, and KPEH is in need of some refined aesthetics. Having said all that, I completely forgot about the shady exterior upon stepping into the loving arms of a truly fantastic wait, bar, and kitchen staff. Sure, it was 2100 on a Thursday night, and eight of the ten people in the house were employees, but my bartender/server was lovely and everyone seemed to generally care about one another, which is something that's always nice to see. My pasta dish came out quickly. Good stuff. Single Star Granted. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? Great value here at Kessler Park. I don't recall seeing anything on the very broad menu that was over $20, and my pasta dish pictured below was only $12 - marvelous considering this was a generous portion. Diners equate to value, and value is in the house. Star Granted. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? Somewhat similar to the contrast between the exterior and interior of Kessler Park Eating House, my Noodles with Pork Ragout dish was a tale of two cities if you will. The good in this case came in the form of the noodles themselves, which, if not made in house sure as hell tasted like they were. I love a good noodle, and these broad flat noodles were perfectly cooked and retained the sauce really well. Excellent. The not so good unfortunately came in the form of the sauce, which was honestly pretty weak. When I go out to eat I like to think that I should be able to land a dish or part of a dish that I wouldn't be capable of making at home (and I'm no chef), but this Pork Ragout sauce was basic for lack of a better term. Somewhat flavorless pork came together with a standard tomato base, and while it looked and tasted as though there could have been some fresh garlic in the mix, the dish could have benefitted tremendously in my opinion from a bit of chopped onion or maybe some black pepper or red pepper flakes. Single Star Granted. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? Given an exterior refresh and a bit more effort in the dishes, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend KPEH to others (and I'd even be willing to pay a bit more!), but until then, I can't argue that it's anything beyond A-OK. No Star Granted. read more

I really enjoyed the food! I got the berries and cream waffles they were very tasty. The cream was perfectly whipped and complimented the fruit and waffles very well.

My husband and I went to the soft open this week, so we'll definitely be back to update this review once they're really up and running. The first impression was a good one, though! Service was attentive and friendly. We got the Wicked Ginger and the Cherry Haze cocktails. Both were sweet and boozy. To start, we ordered the brown butter pierogis and I'm not sure I've ever had a more perfect bite in my mouth. I HIGHLY recommend ordering this. Seasoned and cooked beautifully. I hemmed and hawed for a long time over what to order because the house made pasta all sounded so good, but so did the halibut! The lasagna! The burger! I eventually landed on the fried thighs because I can't resist Jonathon's chicken and waffles so I figured I couldn't go wrong here. The dish was tender and just good ol' comfort food. My husband got the roasted pork sandwich which was bursting with flavor. He gave me one measly bite (ha!) and it left me wanting more. We had to skip dessert because we were so full, but I look forward to trying the texas sheet cake!! A few things I didn't necessarily love were that the menu seemed a bit all over the place. House made pasta next to your standard American sandwiches next to borscht. That doesn't mean it didn't all sounds delicious, though! Also, menu was a bit on the pricy side (for a few items, not all) despite being a pretty casual place. Great drink prices. Overall, I recommend! I'd love to go back soon to see how the people of Dallas are receiving them! read more

It's not Jonathan's but with that being said, it's owned by the same people and has the Breakfast and Waffles just like Jonathan's except a few jalapeños... which is easy to delete off your order! Here is the scoop, if you don't want to wait in line for the weekend brunch hours this is the place to go! The food is farm fresh and tasty with some more "dinner-esc" options. The atmosphere is loft style and nice! I think since Jonathan's is like the #1 spot in Oak Cliff the TKEH gets over looked like a middle child does but the funny thing is it's better then 99% of the breakfast houses out there.... Although, after writing this review if it starts getting too busy on the weekends I will have to delete it from Yelp! read more

Jonathon's has been on my "bucket list" since I moved to Dallas and this morning I finally went! I was surprised that it wasn't busy when I walked in since this is their bigger location but it was early. We were smart to get there before the church crowd. I ordered the chicken and waffles and OMG it was good! It comes with pepper gravy and I mean this price of chicken was something serious. It's seasoned and fried perfectly and comes on top of this delicious Belgian waffle. The combination of the peppered gravy and their delicious syrup is the perfect marriage of sweet and savory. The service was great and decor of the diner was cute. I definitely will be back! read more

5 STARS EVERY TIME I HAVE EATEN HERE! Food is made from scratch, NOT the same frozen items from a mass distributor. Typically a wait, but absolutely worth it!

It's NOT about the Food! Then again.... Typical "Yelp Complainers" most only leave bad reviews & rarely compliments! GO TO THIS DINNER & LEAVE WITH A HAPPY & FULL BELLY! read more

Great brunch place!! Come a little early as this place clearly gets packed along with their sister location, Jonathon's Oak Cliff. Both locations have the same menu but KPEH accommodates parties 5 and over. Ordered the Chicken and Biscuit and enjoyed every bite. Could do without the arugula but thats minor. And that gravy?!?! I could eat that by itself. Definitely a spot I'll be visiting again and letting people know about. read more

Food is not good. I've been to Jonathons several times and every time I go there I don't like what I get. Service is fine.

Great food and Jay the bartender has restored my faith in good customer service. I have not had someone take care of me in years like he did and it is much appreciated. I had the chicken and biscuit from the brunch menu and it was amazing. There gravy is probably the best I have ever had, has a peppered taste that complimented the biscuit and chicken fried chicken, I usually add Tabasco to my gravy but there was no need for that with this gravy. Everyone else in my party left satisfied. read more

Absolutely love Jonathon's! Been going to the original location for a while and now another location is due to open in Dallas. Can't wait! The food is amazing. It hits the spot! You need something heavy and yummy and delicious? This is it. Never had a bad meal here and I've even had to take to-go and the food still held up nicely. I only wish they were open later. Would love to have diner here even though it's brunch focused, but who doesn't love breakfast for dinner. Yummy food! read more

Great new addition to Oak Cliff. It's like a trendy spin on a diner. Perfect for parents- I enjoyed my large glass of wine and creamy Parmesan and black pepper noodles while my kids enjoyed their chicken nuggets and fries. Husband had the fried chicken thighs (excellent flavor!) with homemade onion rings and potato salad. So happy for this restaurant to be right around the corner! read more

Absolutely, hands down, best breakfast in Dallas! At first glance the prices seemed a bit high, but once the plates arrived, that thought went away completely! My wife ordered the Chicken and Biscuit and it was incredible! Best pepper gravy I had The Kure that is drenched in Tabasco gravy. Truly amazing and totally unique taste. The Bloody Mary bar is excellent also. Best of all were the cheese grits. Creamiest, cheesiest and best tasting grits ever. These top Charleston and Savannah grits. If you are ever in the neighborhood, this is a must do! We drove an hour and I would drive 5 hours if I had to. read more

Terrible service at this location! I asked my server for jelly and she brought me mixed berry puree. I asked again for strawberry (or mixed berry jelly), she said thats all we carry. Huh, are you serious? I asked for wheat toast, you brought me white bread. Then she said... "do you need me to pick up anything else from the kitchen?" Wait... what? I didnt ask for anything but jelly and if you are a server and already tired of walking to the kitchen, you should really choose another profession. ‍ The lady at the checkin counter looked like someone's angry grandma that was being forced to work! Not a good experience here, I wont come back!! read more
